Clearly not a single F**K was given that day (get off the stage)

Here is a good one...

^^ Come on brah, don't judge him just yet you have to hear his story and why he's on the stage!!!!

[PeoplesChamp11]

It's bodybuilding, judging is kind of important. You look like crap on stage, you deserve to be ridiculed.

To be fair, I don't think "ridiculed" would be the term I'd used.

typical insecure male, care about the person next to you and base what you put in off how they look. You guys need to lighten up and stop being such pussies. I guess I cant understand because I've never dieted for a show...

if you see a guy who looks like they didn't diet at an ifbb show what happens? some people might say they look like ****, whyd they get on stage, etc. But they end up not placing or being placed dead last and people move on. Who cares if the guy next to you doesn't look like he trained for the show. I always understood most humble competitors compete only against themselves. His lack of work doesn't effect you, and especially wont effect your placing. I guess I just dont understand why everyone's so whiny about this.

Read your posts, you're the whiny one.

Clearly you've never had a colleague at work who's pissed at you for your performance even though that doesn't really affect him/her. Yeah welcome to life, where your actions affect other human beings too.

Here's my contribution. My second contest doesn't seem that long ago, but it was the 2009 NPC Lenda Murray Championships. It was a great experience because I got the chance to meet and greet both Lenda, and the guest poser, Ronnie Coleman. I have to say the majority of the competitors were in good shape, but there was one guy that really stood out for all the wrong reasons.

I don't know his story, and I'm not trying to ridicule him, but this is clearly an example of how not to show up to a contest. When I ordered the DVD of the show, I later noticed that they excluded his entire posing routine. So basically, the only time he appeared was during the awards ceremony. He competed in the super heavyweight class against Shiloe Steinmetz, who's a seasoned veteran, and former Team Universe heavyweight champ. As you can see, both competitors were good sports.

I had one at my last comp... amateur divisions for the lose.

To the left... yeah I'm not the best myself but lack of tan didn't help : /

LOL, I didn't even read the post and thought you were making fun of the taller guy then I just realized ... you're the taller guy. WTF LOL. You look the same as the guy on the left.

I must be uneducated in bodybuilding as well because I'm not sure what the red guy said that was so uneducated...

It's the typical " I think I look better then I really do" syndrome.

When did you start training and at what point did you start competing?

[Big Slim DaDDy]

Here's my contribution.

Unfortunate because the guy on left literally looks like an action figure or comic book superhero art but I suppose if the guy on the right didn't enter the guy on left wouldn't have anyone to compete against. Only positive I can think of.

[Zachary533]

When did you start training and at what point did you start competing?

I started at 16... I came from being very overweight at boarding school, (115kg) I trained twice a day, Rowing on urg machines in the morning and doing squats/bench/miltary press/basic arm exercises in the school gym after- with my protein powder from the local supermarket.

I finished high school at 18 and got down to 82- I started uni where I 'dreamer bulked' back up to 105kg due to pressure of study/work and flatting.

I watched 'One Step Closer' by Jay Cutler and made a goal with my mate that we wnated to be on a Men's Health mag cover.

Obviously the ambition has gone up since then...

I struggled a lot with my nutrition education, typical 'don't eat fats' sort of mindset- I finally sorted out my dieting when I turned 21 and set the challenge for myself to compete before 22- that last show I did in April, I qualified for nationals in the pre juding, that photo is from the night show.

I did all my own coaching/posing/nutrition with near no help apart from mixed advice from PTs and from magazines/forums.

I still look after myself, but am heading towards nationals in little more than 2 weeks with a lot more knowledge that I have gained researching properly and experimenting during the offseason.

Currently at 83kg, whereas in the last competition I was 86.

Feeling very confident.

Sorry for the TL;DR.

@Tryingtogethuge- I'm hurt so much about the opinion from someone I don't know, or doesn't know me- honestly.

P.S if you actually opened your eyes, I took back everything I said straight away... some people have bad days- you obviously have a lot of them.

What's this "dreamer bulk" I keep reading?

Yeah, Shiloe looked great! He was my height, and I was amazed at the amount of muscle he carried. The real battle was for the overall. Somehow, I won that.

Almost a year later I ran into him at the Team Universe and took this photo with him backstage. Pictures don't do him justice, we're talking 240 lbs to my 196 lbs at weigh ins. Just goes to show there's always someone bigger. If he keeps at it, he'll win his pro card through the masters sooner or later.

You just had to ask, huh? lol

Idiotic misc. virgin lingo.

[flangmasterj]

Obviously not because you look to be carrying just as much muscle.

[Zachary533]

A fail bulk

[patbanya]

It's all in the illusion, but I'll take that as a compliment!

[Dust]

well wouldnt really call it idiotic lingo. A member named "dreamer" did a horrible bulk eating pizza pockets and other junk. hence the dreamer bulk

How silly of me. I should have known.

The lingo is now more idiotic than originally thought.

[tryin2gethuge10]

I would.

[BOUNTYHUNTERMK2]

Any misc lingo is crap.

On subject, I've competed in sanctioned contests twice, pic is from 2005. Didn't place but got in my best ever shape. Did it again in 2009 and a combo of over-dieting, under training and generally faffing up led to me looking like a damn anorexic. Never again lol. Still least I looked like I vaguely trained and had dieted that year....coming down from 15 stone to just under 12 was slightly daft but hey ho.

Gunna give it another go next year...

Point is, if I've busted my ass to get into shape (even if it's not enough to place) and I come up against some fat soft piece of crap as shown in the previous pics I'd be pretty hacked off someone felt they could just turn up and compete with no prep whatsover.

Pat you look sick in that shot.

Natural eh? LOL. I guess that trick works for retarded people.

Thanks! I've been told the hands clasped most muscular is one of my better poses. I took 4th place in the light heavyweight class. Vaughan Ettienne won my class and the overall without too much trouble. According to Dave Palumbo, he was the obvious winner.
