WHAT IS BOB TAKING to STAY BIG?

[Bevo]

Good post.

I also don’t know why people are suddenly so concerned about his body weight.

We, getbiggers, care very much about Bobert’s health

[Matt]

The reason is because he can & he wants to, why is that such a Huge problem
To so many. ?

Its his body & his life..... leave him to do as he likes, it has Zero effect on anyone else.

Is there any need or reason for you to weigh 180lbs ?  Same silly question isn't it.

 

I maintain a low body weight for a number of reasons, one of which is health - my main constraint. If what I'm doing isn't conducive to good health...I won't do it.

IMO, 180-185 is about where I should be. I truly believe I will be able to bench press 360 at 185 by the new year, if I get back into strength training.

Also...will I get any benefits being significantly bigger? Or really, any bigger?

Will I be healthier? No.
Will I be faster? No.
Will I have more access to women/sex? No.

Will I be stronger? Yes...but I just want to be in the top 1%.

And my face will get fatter. Even if I used gear to get to 220-lb at 10% body fat, I will get a double chin. Personally, I don't want to get a better physique at the cost of getting a fatter face or losing my hair from gear.

Now, as for Bob:

I'm not saying Bob's look is bad. To each their own. According to 240 or Bust, Bob fucked 150+ figure chicks, so I'm sure he has reasons for choosing his look.

But Bob is at least 260, and pushing 60.

I don't want Bob to DIE, illuminati.

I'm not saying he will, but my only concern is his health.

I'm not judging. Bob may be a bit of a company man, but he has contributed a lot to the world of bodybuilding. I will miss him when he's gone if it happens in my lifetime.

If Bob slimmed down to 220, ran some TRT, and did some other things, he could live to age 80, I would think.

I'd rather Bob live to 80 while still being fit and jacked for his age [or any age] then push it to 300 and die young. Staying 300+ too long is why Nasser died at 47.

My only concern is Bob's health, illuminati. I'm not saying Bob is in poor health - but that in general, being 220 is healthier for a man than being 260 or 280.

That's all. I'm only thinking of his health.

Yes!

Bob was the #18 best bodybuilder on earth. What more does he need to prove?

Bob has been financially successful, and probably travels for bodybuilding 40 weeks out of the year [or used to]. He had the MC gig, and made many appearances. Hundreds.

Bob is a bodybuilding success story.

Even at 220-lb, he would be among the top 1% of muscular men. I just don't think he needs to be 260+.

His health tests may be fine. But as we get older, things can break down randomly [someone on here said that].

Bob's stated height was 6'0". Wiggs put him at 5'10".  My morning height is just under 5'9.5". Bob was taller than me when we met.

Let's say Bob is 5'11" and 270-lb. That's massive, and poses a health risk with age.

Bob has a penchant for being huge. Even 240-lb would be "small" to Bob, IMO. I think 220-240 would be a good weight. Is that so bad?

That said, John Goodman is still alive at age 71. So perhaps Bob will live to 80+ anyway. Some people just have the genetics for that.

Not at all, 180lbs is a good healthy bodyweight for Matt.  Bob is overweight which is jeopardizing his health.

Stop obsessing & worrying about your health & others.
When your times up it makes zero difference if you weigh 100lbs or 300lbs.

There's plenty of fit light weight young folk who die every day
Likewise there's many folk who eat crap / smoke / are over weight & live
Into their 80's & 90s.

Sure take care of yourself - Only The endless concern is just daft & pointless,
Enjoy your day to day life the best you can for as long as it lasts.

I think the guy can EAT, looks like a guy who loves food. It's easier to stay "big" if you don't care about being very lean.

So what is he taking... pizza, pasta etc.

Goodman is a fair bit taller than Bob, also Goodman knows how to live as a fat man. Let's hope Bob learns it.

I hear Bob is taking MattC's anal virginity to GETBIGGER

Thanks PV69!

I catch a little shade for being small...but health is always on my mind. Full disclosure: I am a hypochondriac. In hindsight, I probably could have been 200 or so, without compromising my health.

I was likely a bit too cautious...but then I wonder:

Can we know if we have the genetics of a Bob Cicherillo or an Art Atwood? A John Goodman or a John Candy? Not knowing...I erred on the side of caution.

Bob is also a unique case study. Consider:
Obese people have existed for decades. But for bodybuilders, given their contest/gear history...it's harder to predict longevity; there is no data + many from Bob's era have died young.

No disrespect to Bob here. I'm not saying his health is poor. I just think he could slim down, still be HUGE, and extend his lifespan in the process.

Being overweight is a risk factor to good health. Then again bodybuilding never had health as a consideration except for years gone by.  I get it though. Being big is great when you go to McDonalds and order two big Macs, large fries and that hot apple pie. When you get a pizza you stop when you can't fit another slice washing it down with a many beers as you please. I've been there. Strength goes up with bodyweight so it's fun to hit those PR's.  It's just not healthy.

As you get older blood sugar rises and well as triglycerides. C Reactive protein rises showing cardiac inflammation. The heart works too much to supply blood to the body that was never meant to be that big. Blood pressure goes up as well as the resting heart rate. Visceral fat increases causing the liver to cause metabolic problems. The list goes on. Also hard on the joints to just live life. How many "big" guys waddle around and are breathing hard just doing ordinary stuff like carrying grocery bags into the house? Even sleeping becomes a chore with fat guys snoring unable to get into a deep sleep.

The older I get I see the value of being lean.

^^ man that is some great advice!!!!^^

^^ man that is some great advice!!!!^^

You don’t know the hand you are dealt but to go through life thinking “you’re going to die anyways,” and be reckless with your health is absurd

A balance in life and choices you make is great advice, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it either

There is a middle ground, you don’t have to do it extremes of anything and there’s also common sense

Matt C is right, generally speaking it’s not healthy healthy for individuals to weigh 250+ pounds when getting older and retired. Yes, some people never have complications or health compromises but others have. You would think to take the much “healthier approach”

Most are just insecure, that’s what bbing brings, they cannot let go, the ones that do, moved on and have nothing to prove

Bob looks like a giant frog.

GEEZUS Matt,slap yourself out of it please.

He looks fat to me, still with some overall muscle, but overall more like fat slob big rather than in shape muscle big.

Good points.

I recall Chic has already had health issues.

Chic and Bhanky are fat.

[ProudVirgin69]

He’s the classic permabulker, massive gut but big arms

[NaturalWonder83]

He just looks like an angry old fat tractor trailer driver. He’s a train wreck.

[Skeletor]

Chick should stop taking the elevator and use the stairs.

[Soul Crusher]

Brazzole, pizza, macaroni, garlic bread, spamoni, cheese cakes, etc/  FAT 

[Megalodon]

[Gym Rat]

Ah pasta va zule, aaayyy??

[LurkerNoMore]

Fat and water mostly.  TRT dose I would suspect.  Funny thing is the dude on the left is probably on a heavy full blown cycle, losing his hair and never reached 18" with his arms.

Hahaha gold!
