Do you do any photoshoots or any modelling?
Ever considered acting or going into the entertainment industry, I mean this in a respectful way but you seem like wasted talent to be playing popeye on a ship at your age don't you think?

I've done some small stuff for some of my sponsors but nothing serious. The entertainment industry is highly competitive and trying to get roles or gigs relying on looks or muscle isn't a very realistic thing, just being honest. In terms of working on a ship at my age, I work in the hospitality industry, a cruise ship is just a giant hotel that floats, so would you say that to a Beverage manager or F&B Director of a major hotel or a world class Resort? Put it this way most of the management on my ship is in there late 40's, many are in their 50's, the Hotel Director (top spot on the ship, besides the Captain) is 59 years old. At the time I got promoted in to management I was the youngest manager on the ship at the age of 29.

GO4, THANKS FOR YOUR DETAILED ANSWER about the "death" of bodybuilding.

My so called 'definition' of the word 'bodybuilding' was meant to include all the NPC members and all the IFBB members which includes all NPC and IFBB members, officials and all the sanctioned, competitive events.

Each of which is numerically increasing dramatically since Joe Weider passed away and presently planning to go world-wide.

If bodybuilding and all the events associated with it is dieing .... its so called 'demise' is certainly not associated with the number of participants involved.

I personally have never witnessed any growth in numbers such as we are seeing at present.

And that growth will continue even if the participating contenders fail to benefit materially/financially/ or however.

What we are seeing at present is a BIRTH that is no where near its deathbed!

Yes I agree if you are looking at it like that from a pure numbers standpoint and you just lump everything under the umbrella calling it bodybuilding, then for sure. Obviously the more competitors, the more family and friends will be attending these shows. I'm just saying in terms of pure bodybuilding (people competing in the category of bodybuilding) they are diminishing. And the increase in competitors is in no way, translating in to more income for the competitors, just more money for mostly the people behind the scenes. Just the way I see it. Also anyone getting in to competing looking to make money is definitely not very wise. I like training, fitness, bodybuilding, health and nutrition, I occasionally like to compete, seeing that it's a challenge to me and interesting to see how I can transform my body, but in no way am I delusional and think I'm going to make any kind of sustainable income based solely on my physique.

Go4, I've been around the block more than once and I am in total agreement with what ya said.

There are always break-a-ways though such as Cullum and Bumstead and a few others.

You can simply tell how great they are or will be in this game by the number of caustic comments throw in their direction by some of us GetBig members.

As you probably realize by now .... I could care less who wins a plastic trophy or a shitload of cash, nor who has the bigger nose, nor who is narrow, nor who is wide, nor is he natural or a supernatural; but I am very interested in how it's 'managed' and the future of that management.

Off the soapbox, Thanks for listening.

And you have a damn good attitude about the game! Win or lose .... you enjoy it!

A bit of deductive logic might help to unravel this knot: what makes a bro a bro (rather than, e.g., a sis)? Correct, his cock. Go4It passed by to salute our cocks. Thanks, Go4It!

Commendable effort, Khan. However, your exegesis belies an assumption no longer held even by the lowest knaves among us, namely: that the cock counts for aught! In this delicious day, Jenner et al stand victorious against all such apollinean delineation, and from their lofty post have so long cried out (that we can but submit), "it's only a bro if you want it to be!"

Nonetheless, you conclude rightly, as always. Go4It is good, indeed, both as man and imperative.

How do you train on a cruise ship? I would assume the gym is designed for middle aged casual fitness types?

[Zillotch]

Hey Getbig,

how many times a day do peeps say u look like 'superman'? I'm thinking at least 5 - 50 times a day.

[ratherbebig]

he doesnt look like superman he looks like clark kent

[Zillotch]

he doesnt look like superman he looks like clark kent

clark kent is superman.

[Kwon]

he doesnt look like superman he looks like clark kent

Clark Kent is Kal-Els alter ego.

For sure Stunt, but for every Bumstead or Colum, there's a million other built dudes who won't see a dime from this sport, which is why it's important to have balance in life, enjoy the sport, the lifestyle,  just don't let it consume you. It's all in good fun.

There's 2 decent gyms on the ship, but I also train on land when docked I go to gyms on the islands, it's awesome because each gym is a new environment on a different island, different equipment, people, music,  etc.

I get it a lot,  I can honestly say that people treat me completely different when i wear glasses, they are more friendly and welcoming no lie. It's very strange.

a pair of glasses are like a key for an attractive person, that unlocks protective defenses. u r humanizing yourself.

Well put, Cephissus. Indeed, for some, the cock does not count, but for others, it multiplies. Go4It obviously suffers from penile dyscalculia, hence his many years adrift in that vast ocean of escape and solace.

Still, Go4It's a very good guy.

I don't know what it is, but it works. I meet 3000 new people every week and it's a absolute game changer, if you guys wear glasses give it a shot!

have you ever encountered somalia pirates trying to take over the ship?

[Man of Steel]

Welcome back Go 4 It!  Lookin forward to your next set of peel shots or your next mammoth breakfast description!

Nah, I'm on the South Pacific, it's pretty chill in general, seas are rather calm, no pirates, but I see whales at certain times of the year, it's pretty epic.

Welcome back Go 4 It!  Lookin forward to your next set of peel shots or your next mammoth breakfast description!

Haha..thanks big guy,  happy holidays to you and your family!

GO4, Some of these GetBiggers may be interested in your 'man overboard drills' and would really enjoy seeing some photos of the lava during its flow into the sea while cruising by the Big Island at night.

Have you ever had a real man-overboard situation during one of your cruises?

Does your ship have a casino yet? What's the price of a Martini now a days and have they stopped that two day cruise down to Fanning Island which used to be a requirement for the Hawaii islands weekly cruise for some forgotten reason?

And do you have to pay rent ashore when you are hardly ever there to use it?

And what is the going monthly rate for a one or a two bedroom apartment in a decent location on Oahu now a days?

Been there and done all that ... so it would be interesting to hear the updates and some GetBiggers may like to know how expensive it is to reside in  Paradise before they pack up and move over thar.

Hey Stunt, we have drill once a week and simulate an emergency situation, usually a fire. Each crew member has a special job in an emergency situation, mostly assembling passengers into there emergency stations, I'm actually a volunteer fire fighter on the ship, I had to go through special training for this. Man over board = Code Oscar, I've never experienced one before, but we do have a protocol in line if a crew member witnesses a man over board situation.
The lava just began flowing again recently,  the volcano was active, but was dormant for a few years, some weeks are better than others when we sail by it.
In terms of living cost on Oahu, not exactly sure, because we all live on the ship, the lower 4 decks are all dorm style living for crew, however management gets their own cabin.
