This is the type of physique I intend to have at the contest.  I will start doing crunches - probably tomorrow - for the first time in my life.  I have been enjoying the increased workout frequency recently.

What's wrong with going for the everyday health look - manageable without a lot of supplements or working out?

Lol!  I was happy to do the 484 pushups in that video + some more, bringing the total to 500 for the hour or so that I was doing it.  I was happy to see that I still had the fitness level to do that many pushups.  The most pushups I have ever done consecutively was 98, and that was probably last October.

Hey, you come here with your narcissistic threads expecting a ball rub, my post is the truth. If you're the fittest swimmer in your fitness complex, then maybe swimming should be your sport of choice? How many great swimmers come out of Thunder Bay anyway?

I'm not talking out my ass. I went to the Ontario Provincials and had to stand next to guys like Nimrod King, Winston Greene, Steve Brisbois, Hazbin, Frankie Tomczak etc. and if you want to spend the money to travel and enter, knock yourself out. My guess is there is a 50/50 chance you get pulled off stage before the night show anyway.

If you want to enter "Physique" shows, that decision is yours. I don't care enough to debate the subject. You are not ready for a serious bodybuilding show. That is a fact. What should scare you the most is the positive reinforcement you're getting is coming from guys like Goodrum.

Follow your dream, get your fancy haircut and enjoy your time in the men's locker room. We all know that is your real reason for going.



How is it a narcissistic thread to claim that I am a blank slate, seeking more or less whatever advice anyone wants to give me?  This is a local contest where they most likely do not have enough competitors to fill the various classes.  So I am helping them out by competing - and having one more guy in shape.  The crowd will see me as another fit guy.

I literally can't walk anywhere in public in a tank top without heads turning all the time.  I am very fit.  Am I in bodybuilding shape?  No.  I never claimed to be.  I am simply saying that this contest needs competitors, so why not?

Would it be better for the weight classes to be empty?

It will also give me seven weeks to get in the best shape of my life.  You can see from the video that I am in shape, fit, strong for my size - I previously trained with the JTF2 and can still pass their physical fitness standard with room to spare.  My goal isn't to be a top bodybuilder, nor do I have the genetics to be one even if I wanted to.  However, I can look good and go for the everyday health look.  I see nothing wrong with that at a local contest.

If I qualified for provincials and continued on my diet...I might look good enough for provincials.  But I doubt I could do that without drugs.

I am open to using ephedrine to get in shape, and focus on refinements.  You should be able to tell from my photos that I am fit - I'm just trying to take that up a level.  Again, I see nothing wrong with that for a local contest.

You are probably upset because you think a guy like me competing insults your work ethic.  But to each their own - obviously a better physique is going to outplace me.  I benefit in different ways, such as getting social media exposure, and gaining subscribers on YouTube.  We all have different goals - my goal is to maintain a physique that I can keep for the next 20+ years.

Regardless of how you place, going to provincials would be a big step in gaining exposure for your YouTube channel, this goes without saying.

It would also be a cool story just to have as an old man.

You live in a bubble. You move to LA and you're sure not turning any heads with that build.

But you don't want to hear any truth. You've decided to do whatever you want, so the point is moot.

You need a few years off the "diet", heavier training, more food, and more work. You don't insult my work ethic in the least. But I will say, I know attention-whoring when I see it.

That could be it.

When I walk anywhere in the university here in town after I get a chest pump in my tank top, people always look - including young girls.  But they probably come here from places like Sioux Lookout and Dryden, so...

I think you're right about that assessment.

I don't think there is anything special about my physique - aside from good delts.  I just consider myself to be generally fit and healthy, and possessing the everyday fitness look that a lot of people strive for who are out of shape.  Because I have a look that looks achievable for normal people.

People post to Frank Zane as having a look that people consider "achievable", but that's strange to me.  I have a physique where people actually think that.

Mark Wahlberg in FEAR is an example of this - that is a realistic physique to me.  Very bodybuilders of any era are "achievable".  Just because Samir Bannout weighed 188-lb when he won the 1983 Mr. Olympia does not mean that his physique is achievable.

If I can't even enter a local contest with no entrants, where should I start?  ;D

I figured - they need the competitors, and it will be a chance to get in the best shape of my life - or the best I can get in, in seven weeks.

I am better in the local strongman circle, and that is where I have been competing over the past 11 years.  I just decided to gives this physique contest a try.  8)

You're at least 15-20 lbs away from starting to look lean. So you think you're going to lose 2-3 lbs per week and still maintain what little muscle you have over the next 7 weeks?

No problem, enter the show, have fun and get your feet wet competing.

My gut feeling is you're doing this for another reason:

Pimp a YouTube site.
Pimp some type of website
Pimp a lame supplement
Looking for male hookups.

To be honest, I expect to enter the contest only minimally improved from the front relaxed pose you see posted just there.

I think some of the improvement will be related to ensuring all blemishes are removed, and my body hair is properly removed.  Getting a dark colour may be important - or sorting out the oil and colour.  I will look fit and in shape.  I do not expect to drop to 150 for this contest.  Maybe 160 or 165.  In other words, I don't expect to be properly lean.  But this isn't the Nationals - it's just a local contest.

I don't have any ulterior motives here...I'm just trying to commit to a goal.  A seven week project didn't seem so daunting.  A 12 or 16 week diet would be been another matter.  I just wanted to get as lean as I could get in seven weeks.  So far so good.

I will look fit and in shape.  Why have my weight class empty?  I may as well just take that spot.  Other people may look at it as being achievable, and enter next year.  I used to think I wasn't strong enough to compete in the local strength contests, but immediately started placing in the top three when I did.  It turns out that a 340 bench press at 170 is quite strong for a local competitor.  It was stupid of me to doubt myself...but I started competing at roughly the right time.

My point is - this is just a local contest.  I think being fit and in shape is good enough.  I don't care if I meet a very high standard.  I just want to be very fit looking.

Here are the top five from last year:

As said, I would need to drop to 150-lb to be in ripped condition for this contest, and that's not going to happen.

I will probably drop to 164-lb.  I will be the leanest I have ever been.  I will be in great shape, but not in proper bodybuilding shape.  But being in a weight division comprising myself only, why bother?  Furthermore, would it help my health to drop to 150?  :-X

I look forward to being in good shape though.

I fear for my health.

I can probably bench press 315 for four perfect contest reps right now, at just south of 168-lb body weight.  I feel great right now.  Again, this is just a local contest, so why not?

It is the 2017 Lord Jacob Rothschild Classic. After tracking down the financing of the various sponsors and revealing the backers behind the front companies, it has been established that the Rothschild family were the ultimate financial comptrollers of the contest, so it was decided that the contest would be renamed after Lord Rothschild, rather than named "The 2017 OPA Thunder Bay Physique Championships."

It is interesting to see Jewish people defend other Jewish people, yet when White people do it "That's racist"  ::):

The reason why I maintain a body weight just south of 170 is because it is a physique that has worked for me - allowing me to total close to 315/405/495 and be competitive in the local strength contests in the <200-lb category, competing drug-free.

It has also produced consistently good health results.  My total sperm count exceeded one billion this month as well.  Why mess with good health results?  I'm 35 now with two small children, and a baby girl on the way by the 4th of July.  I have a good life - why alter a good thing?

Can anyone help me stop being such a health pussy?  On the flip side, I am healthy - there are clear benefits.  But why the need to be such a health pussy?

I fear for my health to an irrational degree.  Meanwhile, if you unpack young deaths, such as that of Art Atwood or Don Youngblood, it turns out they were on boatloads of gear and ignored warning signs.

Maybe sort of - but I'm keeping it to one thread, am I not?

Why was your spermcount analysed? Medical conditions?

In a nutshell - for general health reasons.  I fear for my health.

Also, I need all the help I can get for this local contest, lol.  Even the simple advice of getting a haircut is going to help me for this contest!  Having huge thick hair just makes a person like narrow.  Especially when I already have a big head to begin with - having a big head is part of the reason why Phil Heath looks narrow!!

As for my sperm count, it was analyzed because I realized that erectile function plays a role in cardiovascular function, so I was thinking that area.  I wanted to see if everything was working down there - but not "unofficially".  I wanted formal tests.  In 2015, I failed to conceive with a woman who wanted a baby with me, but she was infertile.  The sperm analysis proved that beyond any doubt.  Although I already learned that I had a baby on the way by the time Trump was about to win the presidency.  ;D

It was a great day!!!

Also, I wondered if I had enough total sperm to ruin my sperm a little with a potential cycle - especially if I want another baby right after this one...and yeah...it's looking like I could still be very fertile even if I ruined my sperm temporarily through gear.  LOL.

But I took the test just to see if everything was working - in general, I just wanted a full checkup, for my peace of mind.  :)

I think everyone should get the requisition forms for blood and urine tests, for this reason.  They are easy to do, and may cause people to catch something early, before it becomes something else.  As I have stated on here before, I fear for my health.

Back to the attention whore part - I promise I will keep all Matt C. related posts ITT only!

Any recommendations on a sunless tanner or oil or any other product would be greatly appreciated!!  Thong colour?  Any/every tip would be appreciated.  As I said, this is my first contest, and I would be grateful for the assistance.

I intend to do Getbig well and at least look good.  I think at 164-lb, or something in there, I can look pretty fit and lean.

I bench press 250 for 18 reps at 170.  What more does Getbig want out of me?  ??? :-\

Getbig slams pro bodybuilders all the time.  Presumably they fear for their health.  So what's wrong with the inverse of that - the everyday health look?

My point is - this is just a local contest.  I think being fit and in shape is good enough.  I don't care if I'm fit.  I just want to be very fit looking.

Well yeah - it's a local contest.

Right?  :-\

The contest placings are ultimately controlled by Lord Jacob Rothschild.

That being said, I could see why someone would resent me if I was the only competitor in my division, then qualified for provincials as a result and got a ticket to provincials, while some better competitor in Sudbury or something, did not qualify for provincials, due to there being multiple high caliber competitors in his class.

But that's not what I'm trying to do - I'm just trying to get in good shape, and feel good.  8)  And feel...fit.  ;D

And LOL at the 'collection method: masturbation' - - as opposed to what?  What other method of collection is there?  Spitting?

LOL, yeah - I wondered the same thing.  Another friend of mine wondered the same thing.  :-X

 ;D

This is definitely my favourite emoticon on Getbig:  :-X
