What is interesting is that Harrison Pope is a psychiatrist so I presume all athletes will be required to lay on a couch prior to the pre-jusdging and talk about their childhoods?




i participated in a study he ran years ago in Boston............very smart man!

The article clearly states the PDI wants to "minimize performance enhancing drugs", not that the PDI will be natural. BB's will be marked down for looking like sickly freakish cartoon characters, sounds good by me.
uh oh things went from bad to worse for rhino

There is a very good chance the Magazine is going to cover the NOC.  If it does then the PDI is off to a very good start.  Wayne has a very good relationship with them now and it appears they are looking to help support him and the PDI.  Like I said, if they do decide to cover the show, the PDI is going to sky-rocket in value.

Do you have anything to back this statement up? Or is it more "The PDI is going to rule the world" nonsense you tend to post? My take is Wayne pulled some strings and got himself some nice exposure, but this doesn't mean that ESPN has taken a sudden interest in BBing.

He has been meeting with the executives there regualry and has gotten a good repore with them.  This is what he told me when we talked.  He did pull strings and he did find an executive that appreciates BB but does not like the way it has turned.  So as far as I know Wayne has convinced hm enough at least to put a blurb in the #2 SPorts maagazine in the world.  Not matter how much people will try to put this down or downgrade it, it is a very very positive thing for the PDI. And to think my nonsense is more believeable than just about anything you post.  Sit back son and watch what happens before you embarass yourself more.

Don't get all bunged up with me because you are a PDI cheerleader. And speaking of embarrasing yourself,  you can STILL get VIP orchestra seating for the NOC ( I just checked). Some sellout.

Keith - You know I want this thing to succeed, but I think the only people who had a clue about what they were reading in ESPN are those who follow GetBig.com.  They should've used a recent photo of Lee to promote the NOC in the mag.

Putting a recent picture of Lee would have gone against what they were trying to express. Lee has some of the best arms in the biz but you put his picture with that article and you can't tell me it wouldn't look "cartoonish".

He has written many books on hormones..ANd Kev, weren't you the one who said he called the NOC venue awhile back and said they had no info about the NOC and no tickets were for sale.  Kind of like what you did with the British show.  And I might go to the British show, so you better take me to dinner at a nice place.

Yes he did say that, but "THEY" said there was no info.  ::) So I guess if Kevin can't verify it then it must not be true. Trying to discredit PDI is getting beyond sad for some of you guys. Remember, it is doomed to fail so why waste your time.  ::)

I think it is more the big guts than big arms they are against. Hell, bber's are known for their big arms even by the average person.

I agree but do you not agree that Lee's physique is rather "cartoonish"? The average person can't relate, the dude looks like he is straight out of a comic book. Now a Vinny G physique would represent more of what they were professing in the article.

I agree about Lee but I also think the average person could not even relate to Frank Zane.

Vinny G?

He ain't PDI anymore.

PDI's shoot at success would be to become respectable, and that Reeves pic is a good choice IMO. Some of the picks for PDI pro cards are quite questionable.

Jim Vest?
Jack London?

Sean Allan could perhaps present an old school type of physique. He just needs to get in shape the old fashioned way, work hard. Instead of relying on the diuretics. Frei, I dunno.

If there were guys with physiques like Intenseone once had, PDI would not have to compare themselves with the IFBB.

Don't try to be better, you can't.

Be different instead.

I hope they do. Bodybuilding in its current state just plain sucks. As long as the IFBB is the only game in town it will continue to suck.
