Title: do people come to getbig because they're big...
Post by: Sir William Idol on June 20, 2006, 11:15:39 AM
or because they want to get big?


i stared off as the latter back in 1999.  based on members pics i think most of the people start off posting here because they're searching the internet for workout advice and come upon this place....and thus the majority of the people here arent big or in good shape, but are wannabe bodybuilders.   i think your local gym might have a greater percentage of big guys than getbig does.

If you think about it Bodybuilding is one of the few sports where the fans are bodybuilders or want to be.   But not all football fans or soccer fans want to be football players or soccer players.   Get what I am saying.

Triathlon and golf are also supported almost exclusively by practitioners.

I personally heard about this site from a friend at the gym. I usually post at Sherdog. But this site just makes me laugh and I think it is run very well. Personally, I don't want to get any bigger, but I do read the advice and will probably follow it to some extent. There are people on here like Sarcasm who is obviously a kid who doesn't even workout, but every good site needs an antagonist(even if he isn't very good at it)

Ha Ha. If guys like Arnold and Coleman get ripped for physique flaws here, then there is no hope for me!

I  like GetBig because every now and then I get a good laugh, and  also I get a chance to read what the top bodybuilders and  physique contestants have to say. And of course, where else would you get to read Onlyme's stories!

I would rather post my pic at hot or not(not that I would, that site is gay), I just don't have the mass to post my pics here. The dudes on here would be like"dude, you really need to bulk up!" but the ladies would be typing with one finger, if you know what I mean. ;)

The training portion is the sporting aspect of BB, along with posing on stage. Some, especially at the Winter Olympics, consider ballet dancing/figure skating a sport too and ballerinas/figure skaters to be bonafide athletes, so why not competitive BBers?

Because I taught my 6 year old daughter how to hit a most-muscular in about two seconds. I think landing a triple-axle would take a little more time. She even "shakes out" her quad and puts her hand up to her little ear.

you think anyone on here posts pics of someone else? I have a friend who is a total monster, for a natty at least. 6feet, 260(225 in shape). He entered an EAS contest back in 98 and made the top 250 or something, (photos only). Anyway. he has 31 inch quads and he is at or under 4%bf in his contest pics. I couldn't post his pics, personally, cuz I have been honest about being a lean 178. It makes me wonder if other people will post other peoples pics for the contest?

its happened here before,people have been busted posted pics of some europe bodybuilder that no one seen before and said that was them and they got busted,that must be some embarrasing stuff getting busted like that,i would never post here again,lol.i couldnt do that anyway cause first off im a pretty honest person  and secondly people at my gym post on getbig so id get nailed anyway ;)

It just seems like it would be easy to do, maybe the Luke can find a way to prevent it?  I will state again, I weigh 178, so there is no way I could ever pass myself off for a mass monster, I just wondered if it happens.

you can see you have good delts in that pic,i can anyway. im sure you seen dudes or chicks in the gym with a baggy shirt on but you can see the guy or chick has some quality muscle under those clothes,on the other hand you get these dough boys walking around in the baggy stuff like they are huge but we can tell they are smoother then a babies ass,and it seems like every gym has those stereotypes
