Who gets to pick their own judges? Lol

Can you imagine a professional sports team getting to pick their own referees for the super bowl or Stanley cup or World Cup. Lol

Since I am perhaps the only national bodybuilding champion still posting on Getbig that Ron can fix my profile so I can change my avatar photo.

Vince, you can use my avatar photo.

I picked the best judges in BC and they weren't influenced in any way re the judging process. So it was a properly judged and fair contest.

, you got gifted that contest and you know it.

Wasn’t this the show you promoted and pretty much controlled? I’d like to see the photos from the Mr. Australia where you placed 15th because you accused Arnold of rape.

Ray Beck is credited with writing the article for Muscle and Fitness. I actually wrote the story but never got paid! Ray was too busy to do that as he was running two gyms and two gym

supply stores. I never was on a cover of a Weider magazine whereas many former Mr Canada winners were when Joe had his businesses in Montreal. He moved to New Jersey then later to California.

You not only fixed the contest, but also wrote the article on the contest (full of humble brags about yourself), and managed to get it published in a major periodical?

I started lifting weights in September 1958 in a basement in Kamloops, BC. There were photos of Bill Pearl and the Brunet twins on the wall of the one room gym.

The Brunet twins, Pierre and Yvon both won the Mr Canada title and I guess my dream was to one day also win that title. A German adonis by the name of Hans Gensow

introduced me to bodybuilding. I was a bit short for my age and I also had an older brother who hit me way too often. So lifting weights became something I continue

to do today. 62 long years.

In 1970 Ray Beck promoted the Mr Canada contest in Vancouver. It was the first time the contest was held outside of Quebec and Ontario. As it turned out only one

competitor came all the way from Montreal. Nobody came from Ontario which is Canada's largest province. So the scene was set for an open contest where just about

anyone could win. Ray asked me to select 15 judges to make the process fair. I did that but only 13 judges showed up. The guest poser that night was Chuck Sipes

and he also judged the contest. Imagine my surprise being declared the winner later that evening in the high school auditorium.

when all is said and done you achieved a National title in your prime, a lot of people can not even point back into their OWN history too actually having a prime or a achievement of note wether that was Local, National or international level in a competitive situation well done Vince.

The way he lifted the weight with a supinated, palms up grip in order to activate the bicep was a truly revolutionary moment in the history of muscular development.
