Bob with 10 pounds more muscle and a little less bodyfat would still not place in a show, sad.  :'(

 NOt trying to dis you , butI would bet that you are not. Bob I am sure is more developed "overall" and that is why he placed as well as he did. Plus he has a God given struture that can not be duplicated from just lifting or drugs alone.

You are welcome to send me a pic blocking your face it you like and I won't post it. My point though is that Bob has a very asthetic physique and as far as going up against him at a show all of us would get our asses handed to us. You may be bigger than him though as far as weight goes. Stepping on stage is a whole different ball game.

This is a good time for guys to realize that bodyweight does not always mean you look better. Look at Phil Heath, even though he has his flaws for the most part he looks pretty big at 215 going up against guys how are 30- to 50 pounds bigger than him.

i'm amused by you, man. :D

the hilarious part is that, at the same weight, you have a 48" gut and tits while you can at least see a hint of my abs, and you're calling ME muscle-less. for you to be under 240 pounds as fat as you are in those photos you can't have ANY muscle under there. that's why you're "bigger" than people, because fat is less dense than muscle so 230 pounds of fat is twice the size of 230 pounds of muscle. simple stuff.

Exactly. Not saying anything againest anyone, but the thought that because one weighs alot they look good is so false. Also, many people fail to realize that when they drop the bodyfat their true size is nothing what they anticipate in many cases. Like no flame on Arvilla, but he was a good example of that back in the day. 250lbs offseason, by time he dropped the fat [and looked much better in my opinion, great work] he stepped onstage at 198lbs at just over 6ft. A heavy weight with a significant amount of excess bodyfat means nothing, many guys can chow down food and be all fat while claiming that "off season/bulking" mode. Now a heavy weight relatively lean [which is very rare] is a whole different story.

Hey Zach lookin' great there bro.  What's your height/weight in that pic and what waist size pants do you wear?

haha, i think "great" is overstating. i look "not bad". 6'2" on a good day, i think i was around 232 when that shot was taken and my waist is 34-35" around at the bellybutton.

hell i've never claimed i looked particularly good. but think about this: sarcasm weighed around 230 in that picture he posted, since he was 239 then claimed he lost 9 pounds before putting that shot up. he's 6' tall. i'm barely two inches taller, slightly heavier. consider that and think about which one of us has more muscle tissue. :D

i never gave a fig about being shredded, i just knew that 267 was stupidly big. so at 230-ish i can get 315 on the bench with a full one second pause (and i'm not all arched like i used to be either), i pulled 500 even on monday. that's perfect for me.

Hey Squatfatter, looking at your photo it is quite obvious that you are way shorter than 5'11. That phone looks very big in your small hands. You are maximum 5'8-5'9, but on Getbig you grow to 5'11 behind your keyboard. So in your words, you are suffering from a brutal small mans syndrome, hahahah!

Hilarious.

Bob Paris has one of the best physiques of all time, and all Squadfatter can say is that he's bigger than him. Big deal, so are Alex23 etc. and half the "powerlifters" (strong dudes with short limbs at 30% bodyfat, so basically nothing special) at my gym. I would kill for genetics like Paris's...

Post by: BEAST 8692 on June 14, 2007, 10:04:05 AM
bob paris was huge.

why don't people get that? probably because he was so well proportioned that nothing in particular stood out.

a friend of mine who weighed 200lbs said he wanted to look like bob paris and he went on to explain that he didn't want to get too big, as if to imply 1. that he had the genetics/potential to actually get 'too big' and 2. that bob paris was not that big.

trying to give him the best advice i was capable of giving, i told him that the first thing he had to do was work his way up to a solid 275lbs which was going to be impossible without ergogenic aids (the guy was a seasoned, but natural bber) and cut back down to approx 220lbs.

he looked at me in disbelief and said that he 'thought' that all he had to do was tone up what he had.

i tried to keep a straight face as i explained to him just how much more pure muscle bob paris had on his body than he did. as i pointed out, paris would be at least 75lbs heavier than him in the same condition (actually think more now).

it amazes me how deluded people are about this stuff. bob paris competed at around 220 - 225lbs. he was massive by any standards.

I would love to look like Paris for even 1 day. i still like the powerfull physiques like dillet, ruhl, fux but paris is incredible and much closer to  2 a "healthy" look.

I knew someone who saw paris in the late 80's at gold's and said he was one "not the biggest" but one of the biggest he saw in person,said his calves looked like footballs were sewn in.a pro is pro for many reasons other than weight mass.

You're an idiot but you sure get responses on here.

yes he spent a lot of time posting his one liners to build up a group of people that respond to him.  Part of it I think is that replying to him gives a high probability of response, which reinforces the behavior.

BOB IS A GREAT GUY....EVERY TIME WE TALKED OR HE CAME TO VISIT VERY DOWN TO EARTH AND VERY PROFESSIONAL

NICE SEEING JOE GOLD ALSO IN THAT VIDEO DOING A FEW BENCHES :)



Thanks for the link. In my opinion this is how a pro bodybuiler should look, speak and behave.
His views are right on the money to make the sport grow. Some will crack on his sexuality and use that as an excuse to dismiss his ideas. I now have a model for how I would like my physique to look.

What he is saying doesn't exactly require such highbrow pedantic struggle to explain it to us stupid people. He was always a bit pretentious. Probably educated late in life.

I have found the smarter the person the less they have to talk that way.

Anyway he is a cool dude. And will always be respected in the sport.

It is good to see a BB that articulate however. I lways tell my physics students, if I really know how to solve the problem I can break it down to simple terms most can understand.   Howard

exactly, truly smart people can see any problem in its simplest state and solve it quickly, quickly being a key that makes them valuable. They are usually witty since they see a lot of irony in our illogical everyday life, but they are humble usually and not lecturing or snobish. But yes it is better than the usual ghetto speak we get from bodybuilders.
