Bikini Division defended by a competitor's boyfriend

[JP_RC]

It is just offensive when they talk about how hard they words to "lose muscle tone and gain weight" (aka getting fatter). Listening to stuff like that makes my head hurt. It insults my intelligence.

Don't take it so seriously.

the rocks in a net on a pulley was from Rocky IV

[Les Grossman]

the only thing that matters is what anyone LOOKS like on stage....what they do to achieve it is irrelevant

Speak for yourself Ice Machine....

Weights, pole, rocks in a net over a pulleylike in Rocky V.....the only thing that matters is what anyone LOOKS like on stage....what they do to achieve it is irrelevant

agreed.

Oh give me a break, half the pro bodybuilders are such diva's, you have no idea, lol

they  have their packs of top amateur's that worship them and ride their balls all day long telling them how great they are, etc. etc.

[newmom]

I'm sure there are a lot of guys on getbig who know how to "work a pole."

Lets leave Kiwiol, Master Blaster, Willgrant and countless others out of this shall we. 

[Disgusted]

Sorry, but I gotta draw the line on this bikini stuff. I've trained many figure girls and most of them train and diet pretty hard, but when a girl can just walk off the street and put on a bikini and get a "pro card" then that's ridiculous.

[Howard]

honestly, NOBODY AT ANY GYM IS TALKING ABOUT THE BIKINI DIVISION

LOL, I know and the only reason this guy was is because his woman was in the nationals.
I could care less abou the bkini divsion UNLESS I was getting a lap dance from one

[Howard]

Ha - but have you ever tried to go up a pole, or work on one.  It is much harder than it looks.   At the 2009 L.A. Fitness Expo (Ironman contest), they had a pole there, and we tried it out.  Jeez - that is a workout.  You give the girls more respect once you realize it isn't easy.

Come on Howard - try it once - then report back here on how 'easy' it is.

I will but only if I can have a "pole down" contest againast you and Issac. We can post the video here on get big and if they don't all go blind, they can pick the worst one of the threesome. The last place guy buys all 3 a Panda express dinner of orange chicken

Im sure they do but im not talking about worship. Im talking about hearing these girls complaining about how they need to be softer and how hard it is.

Hey I will LOOK, even have a dirty thought or two..  But take it seriously?  No. train as hard as bodybuilders?- not even CLOSE. I am a so so masters competitor at the National level and I KILLEd myself this past year to get a third at the Masters and 4th at the NA's- both 0ver 50 superheavies-  squats with 7 plates, dips to positive and negative failure with obscene weights hanging, same with Chins, etc, and HITT cardio as hard as I could manage-- just to get a so so placing and those werent even OPEN divisions.  Some female BBs might match that (with lesser weights of course), but certainly no bikini competitor ever trains at that level.  So Enjoy the eye cand, just dont try to promote them as "athletes"-  a reasonable compromise?? I think so.

not to be a dick...but who cares. a "pro card" doesn't really mean too much to ANYONE....including people in the industry. Whether it be bodybuilding, figure, or "bikini"....unless you are consistent and well represented...youre just another gym rat with piece of cardboard in your wallet.

can you blame the IFBB  for trying to get some mainstream attention?

LOL , so true... if you go pick up a random person off the street and tell them you have a 'pro card' they will look at you confused and say.. 'uhh!?..you have a job?! ..I'm not understanding you..' while you wither inside, have a nuclear meltdown and cry on the inside for 3 days afterwards all the while stuffing more dbol into your mouth..

[Tre]

Maybe you should open a gym chain for men on the go only....."Bulges"

Not only was this funny as hell...it's a great fucking idea!!

Off the street?   In any gym.

how many people are in the NPC?  double that number for their mothers, and that's how many people have an interest in competition bodybuilding.

[bigmikecox]

these bikini pigs are walking around with their heads a little too high these days, because of the fantasy land they are fostering over at RX muscle........where EVERY female competitor is great, and every female works hard, and  EVER female is beyond criticism

bikini is a joke, but you not allowed to state that over there.........the bikini pigds over there are ACTUALLY convinced they are athletes

and they use bodybuilding terms to describe their condition.......lol.,,,,its liek, you have 15% bodyfat, your neither "full" nor "spilled over" your just fucking FAT



god i hate that place,   

Bro, could not have said it better myself!!!!! 

[newmom]

i think that is the point howard is making.

the respondents in this thread are suggesting that howard doesnt rate working out using a pole.

i didnt read it like that at all. what i read was that howard was implying that someone who was a pole dancer could enter an event and place or win this stuff.

is this the objective of the class?- what exactly is it?, - what is stopping some fit bod who diets some and rollerblades around a park on weekends from stepping on stage and winning?- doesnt that make it a laughing stock?

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Yes Howard is one of them
