Alex23: i know an IFBB pro. He decided to stop by the forums here for a little while. He said Getbig was so negative and depressing that he decided to never come back. He could not believe how negative the people here were.
Thank you for your post Royalty.
Honestly, I'm not surprised... exposing delusion somewhat became a key-learning on getbig... problem is it went way too far and tipped the scale to the point of preventing people from enjoying something that isn't as tainted as they want us to believe.
Good examples of extra shifters are Shane Carnithan and Jason Stern. all forum bullshit aside, I like both of these guys, personally Jason & I get along pretty well and if he was just a little closer, would be a guy I would frequent monthly or so. Shane who I only met once has a good moral base but got sucked in the bb "lifestyle" and is very bitter for some reasons. Early 30s and still trying to find a 'career path'. I feel that he misses it but convinces himself otherwise by hating instead
So How did they channelize their frustration and why did I step aside? they started a forum to 'expose' the industry; some say not a bad call, but if you're gonna call ppl out on a daily basis, be prepared for collateral damages. The worse collateral of all is my almost blood brother flexingtonsteele, got sucked in the negativity some extrapolated on his own or thru their channels. the result is constant negativity beyond the point of reality. A negativity that prevents you from growing and enjoying a higher state (either mental or physical)
I personally stepped aside at a very specific point; I remember the exact moment; it was at the Arnold 2008.. I was talking to Jason Pegg, telling him that I really wanted to catch the finals, annecdoting the 2006 olympia and how much glen & I enjoyed it... then I hear Stern.. telling me "hey go scalp some tickets from Troy Alves" and other getbig based memes.... telling me how fucking "gay" it was to go watch the final... telling myself, what I should say but not sound like a racist... all I could come up with was "hey jew stomp, keep your negativity for the buffet.. see ya in a couple of hours.." then I just lost it.. took me lots of restrain to not break his jew bridge.... we took off but were too late.. sold out.. 2400 miles for an afternoon at the "expo"...
Sorry flexingtonsteele if I dragged you into this shit.. needed to close a chapter to positivity growth and onstage results coming soon.
BE/STAY/GOAL YOURSELF POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
