ask that mofo Massive Gay

[timfogarty]

If I'm the promoter, and PAID to have Ronnie show up in that kind of shape EVEN for a guest posing...I'd be royally PISSED.

Does having a guest poser have any effect on ticket sales?

back in the day, pro bodybuilders and the top amateurs entered contest throughout the year.  Off-season was December, January and February.

Tim do you think the "GH guts" are the result of enlarged organs or just intra-abdominal fat storage resulting from massive caloric consumption (and possibly insulin abuse)?

I think the problem is that these guys are able to diet off some of the subcutaneous fat but they never really shed the intra-abdominal fat from the offseason, and every year they just build it a little more until....they end up looking preggers.

the reason you see guts is bcause todays pros do leg work. heavy leg work. and lots of it.


this exttra pressure on the abdomin extends out the wall, with the old timers, they kept small stomachs, and twig legs.

haha i did, thats why i got banned.....that, and telling them that arnolds chest wasnt big, it was the way he posed and how small his tri's and shoulders were in comparison.

haha...I have already posted this in another thread but anyhow,I went there and they had a tribute thread full of old classic pumping iron era pics ...I posted "Those guys look ok,but nobody can touch the BIG NASTY!!"..and they didn't do anything...I figured they would get pissed...but they didn't ban me...Here is the pic I posted..lol

[candidate2025]

haha yep...they really need to get over tose scrawny guys from the past.   they wuld get demolished on todays stage..hell, i fdont even think arnold could get his pro card.   

[pumpster]

Iron Agers looove to post that pic of Ron taking air, just love what they think that means. Their beloved Iron Age BBs would've done same if the equipment had been available then. It's not essential, just a convenience after posing.

Arnold was bulky between contests earlier in his career, then later got very light between shows because he obviously couldn't stay big without the juice. It had a huge effect on him and he didn't anywhere near the same guy without it.

[tommywishbone]

To top off the whole thing, those peach colored trunks sort of make him look naked.

Does having a guest poser have any effect on ticket sales?   

ABSOLUTELY!  That is a main reason why so many people not associated with any of the competitors come to a show.  Especially here cause you don't get to see guys from magazines that much here.  That's why these pros that come in here fat and sloppy should not get paid for guest posing if they show up like that.  They embarrass themselves and other pros.  We have plenty of fat guys here including me that can goup on stage and wiggle around for 2 minutes.  And the pic of Coleman taking in oxygen is funny as hell.  Posing does take energy and they are depleted and everything else but to have to have oxygen after a 3 minute routine or whatever is laughable, especially by other athletres in other sports.  Just shows how healthy it is tobe a bodybuilder.  Sure the cover looks great but the inside sucks.

guess NYC and CA are different.

I have only been to 1 show with a poser, but I can tell you that the only thing the crowd talked about all night was Vic Martinez taking the stage.  It was a smaller NPC event though, so there were no big names there

Tom Platz, Paul Demayo, and a few hundred others, say you don't know what you're talking about

LOL, isn't it cute when 16 year old kids (candidate) come up with wacky theories they've pulled out of their ass?

[candidate2025]

Tom Platz, Paul Demayo, and a few hundred others, say you don't know what you're talking about

well, i only offered it as a possible theory....and i have done no investigating.   but,   there cases were great genetics, and even then, their legs were not as big as todays pros. a guy with arnolds legs just couldnt compete today...so they all hit m very heavy and high reps...which undoubtedly extends the stomach.  d i think its the only reaosn? no..but it sure is one of them.

[timfogarty]

Tim do you think the "GH guts" are the result of enlarged organs or just intra-abdominal fat storage resulting from massive caloric consumption (and possibly insulin abuse)?

The combination of bodybuilder doses of GH and insulin is certainly believed to cause your internal organs to grow.  Don't know about IAF.  But IAF is a problem for people who have been taking HAART (anti-hiv meds) for years and years.  that's believed to be due to insulin sensitivity.  so they could be related.

now bodybuilders have done some strange things over the years, with and without the help of a doctor.  in the 1970s and 1980s there were always rumors of some top bodybuilder having calf implants, etc.   Do you think a pro with severe GH gut could convince a doctor to remove a few feet of intestine?

[timfogarty]

which undoubtedly extends the stomach.

No, it does not.

[candidate2025]

No, it does not.

i do  respect your age and experience....but you cannot say that heavy squats with even the slightest of incorrect breathing dont extend the abdominal wall.

[HowieW]

The only issue I have is twofold:
1. Why in the world do they have to get so smooth and bloated looking on the off season?
2. If they want to look bloated and "BIG" why do they have to be paid to guest pose when in such lousy shape? Imagine paying a group to perform and they play/sing off key some of the time>

I'll agree with that

I would start looking at Gh & Slin.....


this is not too hard to see
