Something isn't right in bodybuilding. It is such a small community. In the old days we had Weider vs Hoffman. Then we say Sergio not allowed to compete in the Olympia. Serge Nubret was not allowed to run for IFBB president. Ben soon established himself as life president.
Today we have MD vs Pecker vs the rest. Still bullshit and the musclemen are like sheep kissing everyone's ass to make a buck and win titles. Nothing has changed.
Ron is in bed with the IFBB. So how come all IFBB pros can't post on this forum? It isn't as if most of the pros are making a living from their 'profession'.
it's not that they can't. it's that they won't. GB is truly the thunderdome, and not everyone wants to have a new asshole ripped every time they log in by anonymous strangers. Not everyone wants to have their ego, character, life choices, training protocol, priorities, and financial standing attacked by people without faces. But most importantly, since being an IFBB Pro is not really paying anyone's bills, most have other shit to do with their time than contribute to a forum. I'm idle enough at times to say things periodically, but seriously, not every pro has the time or desire to do so.
It's not about permission to post. it's about will. hth.
