I am also happy to report that I was one of the top sponsors of the contest this year, and was the sponsor of the trophies!  That is in addition to my media role.  I'm very proud of that role - photos attached.  Frankly, I like the 2nd place trophy best - the 1st place trophy was a nice piece of hardware, but a little too cumbersome for my tastes.

I have a little mini-trophy mantle myself, for weight class wins and podium finishes.  My most recent being 3rd place at the deadlift contest last October 30.

I am still in shape, and cutting by the day.  Is it worth the $250 in fees + ordering a glittery thong, etc? 

I think the trophies are first-class - but there's something familiar about them..?



If a 'joke' is worth doing once, it's worth doing it until everyone is sick of it

Never get sick of that joke Taffin Brosnan!

In 2011, a registered massage therapist in my city said that it looks like I have scoliosis, based on the curvature of my spine.  He kept repeating that over and over again.  He probably told me half a dozen times that it looks like I have scoliosis, during a one-hour massage appointment.

Yeah - epic scoliosis.  

In Canada, I think doctor's make money for each task they complete.  So for my doctor to give me the requisition form that took him 30 seconds, he probably made $10.  Or something like that.  Anyway, when I told him the RMT repeatedly stated that he thinks that I have scoliosis, he wrote out the requisition form without even looking at my spine for a visual examination.  Wouldn't the responsible/professional thing to do be to merely look at my spine?  Anyway, I got the x-ray only to find out that I had a whopping three degrees of scoliosis.  

I don't care to unlawfully irradiate myself, and I am annoyed by the RMT and my doctor, but first and foremost - with myself.  I should have known that I was nowhere near scoliosis.  Babies are born with more than three degrees of scoliosis! How on earth was this remotely close to the possibility of scoliosis?  Needless to say, I cancelled my next appointment with that RMT, showed up to pay his $25 cancellation fee, and never returned.

I didn't actually read anything you wrote. But what kind of vile human being do you have to be, that you feel the need to cover your furniture with blankets?

It's just so the cat doesn't claw it up and so on.

PS - I fear for my health.

Great post!

It was determined that I had an epic three degrees of scoliosis, yet during the massage, he continued to repeat to me how I should get an x-ray to see if I had scoliosis. 

Here are some pictures from a few hours ago - still showing no scoliosis. 

PS - F* Joel Fogolin!

Maybe he meant swolliosis.

Is it really necessary to show off the glutes Matt?

Can't we just stick to the delts?


Are you really taking that BB-contest seriously and planning to don the thong and flaunt the glutes to the judges?

What about those contests where the competitors wear boardshorts?

If you want to check for scoliosis, you cannot be standing. Straight legs, bent over the front trying to reach your feet, relax. Ask someone else to check the alignement of your spine, standing behind your streched glutes.

Genetics. It me, too

Lol... this is starting to take on a jump thread atmosphere.

I missed this thread and the one about Matt C entering a BB contest. What can I say? The dude had a web site but allowed total jerks to run it into the ground.

Clearly he has little idea about hypertrophy. Arthur Jones said we should train to get big not test our strength. So doing strongman contests at his weight is lunacy.

Matt, come to my gym for 2 months and I will show you how to gain some impressive size. It is about time you gained some self respect!
