Title: WHAT PRO'S SHOULD GO TO THE PDI AND WHY?
Post by: FLEX N FREAK on April 20, 2006, 11:41:26 PM
First to come to mind is Mustafa, due to the fact that he burned a lot of bridges bitching and complaining.

Perfect opportunity for Milos to start fresh with a comeback.

Rusty Jeffers due to his royal screw job at the Masters.

Ok guys, who elso would benefit and why

They are as far as the PDI is concerned.  It is the IFBB who wants to penalize,

1) All of them
2) The IFBB judging.


All athletes should do both the PDI and IFBB.  BBing is an individual sport, not a team sport.  In tennis, golf, and other individual sports, guys can play in any league they want and with anyone they want.  Team sports, sure, you don't want your NBA guys getting hurt in Summer League ABL action.  But in a freelance individual sport, men should be able to compete in both.

Wishful thinking but the power's to be will never allow it,pride,money,intenal jealousy on both sides would cause  strike like atmosphere due to the qualilfications of the new athlete's compared to the ifbb standard's.

  Agree, Mustafa has been screwed and so has RustyMilos should do just like Vince T. is doing.  Then the PDI would have some guys worth seeing.  Now all they have is Lee P.
  Also did you know in the last MD Mustafa said he made more money in BB before he turned Pro.

Reality is most of the jumpers will be 2nd and 3rd tier but in my mind I think this is great.

Allows us to see some new names, and people that have consistently gotten overlooked.

It gets boring after seeing the same names over and over....Ronnie, Jay, Dex and such.....

Before the Masters show, I had no idea who Rusty Jeffers was and after seeing him, coming from obscurity (in my mind that is) I love him in a heterosexual way.

I can't wait.

Sorry to disappoint I won't play PDI games with you anymore.  I am helping people work on their CHI.  ;)
Besides Rhino and Vinny are to funny and far to nice to bash.

I'm not going to change my mind, I am just not voicing my opinion anymore.

I can't wait.

the rule allowing athletes from other nationalities compete would bring in many new faces.  to turn pro, sometimes it is not enough to win, for example, the ifbb world amateur championships, in many cases you need additionally permission from your country's bb federation to do that.  and sometimes, probably because of internal politics, such federation will refuse (e.g. piotr gluchowski of poland).  if the pdi recognizes bb credentials earned in some non-american shows, than we may see many new faces coming....

I don't think that Jay Cutler or Dave Palumbo or Markus Ruhl would even qualify.
I think the PDI has different guidelines and prefers a symmetric look.

Guys like Ruhl, Heiko and Palumbo are hopefully not the guys that PDI wants or rewards.  PDI said they want to promote more aesthetic muscular physiques.  The guts, synthol and excessive mass without reguard to aesthetics is a major problem with the IFBB in many competitors opinions.

IMO, guys like Richard Jones, Milos, Benefatto, Ronnie Rockel, Melvin Anthony (though those 2 are doing well in the IFBB smaller shows) should consider competing w/ PDI as it gains stability.  Guys who are incredible BBers and have a balance of mass and shape but who aren't given fair consideration and will not win the big IFBB shows cause they aren't 280lbs busting all over ruining their aesthetics.  Rusty Jeffers, Vince Taylor, Dugdale....just a few other names that fit.

I still think Ronnie C. is about the best BBer out there but the juding criteria pushed for mass and he took it to the extremes as the IFBB was directing.  He looked much better in the mid 90s then he does now.  His shape, separation, proportions and midsection were much better.  He has more mass now but has lost some of the other qualities of his great physique in that persuit.  Plus, its obvious he has visual Sx of acromegally now.
