Title: Gustavo Badell.....why the hate???
Post by: Voice of Doom on July 01, 2007, 03:57:11 PM
I bring this up, not because I'm a fan of his physique, but I see a lot of hating on this board.  Seems like a straight up bb'er.  Came from a poor family, won local comps, immagrated (legally) to the U.S, won some shows and is now getting paid.  Before he went for the "umlimited size" look, I thought he had nice lines for a small guy. 
From Argentina to Puerto Rico he seems like he's cut from the same mold as Sergio...a board favorite.
Similer body style as Columbo, Oliva, Danny and Lee Priest.

So...why the hate?

So...why the hate?

Um, let’s see. He posed for musclegallery.com (yes, those pictures are still floating around out there) then later he copped an anti gay attitude when men flirted w/hit on him.  Who does he think runs bodybuilding?  Who are the patrons?  Where does all the money come from?

He’s not a very savvy guy.  He’s right up there with Isaiah Washington.  :-[ 

Good physique though.

Where does all the money come from?



At this point?  Supplement sales.


I hate to burst your bubble, BayGay, but you fags could all go away and BB would do just fine.


Maybe it was different in the 70's or something, but now the money comes from kids buying pills and powders to get hyooooge, not from middle-aged homo's "sponsoring" guys.

He looked great at that last IRONMAN with Lee.

It's too bad he can't come into two shows in a row in shape.  That's my main issue with him.  Very inconsistent with the conditioning.

He looked the best in 2005 under Milos' guidance:

I wonder what type of program Milos had him on to make him look like that.

I bet it was one of the programs that costs 20 grand.

Do you really think it was that high?  I think that's totally possible given the cost of GH.  Could you imagine how much a person could significantly transform their physique for 20 grand?

My guess would be a slower carb up before the show to keep the midsection smaller. Milos also got the guy ripped. It is my belief if they stood Gustavo next to Cutler in 05 or 04 Gustavo would have destroyed him convincingly but not in 06. Gustavo ripped in the high 230s or low 240s with a good waist can take out just about anyone now.

Gustavo and Isaiah don't like gay people.

Then both are in he wrong business.  Quick!  Name two industries where gays are omnipresent.  ::)

They've managed pretty well though, don't you think?

Gustavo became a Bodybuilding-name and Isaiah has been in several movies.

I think they manage financially.
