How many of you compete

[jdevlin1985]

It gets to a point when people just look at you in horror though like you are some kind of monster walking down the street. Makes some girls nauseous, some soaking wet. go figure. it is just fun seeing the look on peoples faces

Depends how you look though. I've worked hard for 17'' arms with a 30'' waist and without being to big headed, can re-call 7 hard looks with a catch of a positive comment as they walked by, just yesterday whilst in my shirt and tie. That then just motivates me even more.

hey man, congrats..thats some good size arms with a tiny waist. Whn I was @ that level it was all about praise and positive comments. I gotta admit it was nice

Im not sure but I think it was around the time the arms passed 20' and the BW passed the 260 mark that the negative image started. But again, it just became more of an extremist view. Some people REALLY are intimidated and others are extremely impressed.

it really just depends on your goals. When I am finished with my competitive career I would like to maintain an in shape lean physique. I think it will be nice not having to force feed myself all the time and constantly pushing my body to its limits. I think for me the eating while bulking is the hardest aspect of bodybuilding. I havent got to the point of using appetitie stimulants yet..but who knows?

Sound big bro. Its still attention, and not negative. There will always be the thought of 'wow, look at the size of him', at the front of their minds, before any negative even comes out. Have you got any pics?

ya on my profile...my avatar was me last year competing around 220..the other pic is about a month ago the day of one of my shows were i weighed in at 244

And I havent absolutely learned to take all reactions, positive and negative....as a compliment. I know in my heart what it has taken to achieve what I have done, and for me that is what really matters. Gotta do it for the love right?

You must become a platinum member in order to view other member's photos. Dayum! Can see the attachment a tad. Looking fab. Quads are looking good too.

Q. When does it suck to be the biggest guy in the gym???

A. When 30 DEA Agents raid the place and lock everyone inside for questioning about AAS use/distribution.

Been there. Done that. Got the t-shirt (back in '91 or so.)

Are you fuckin serious? Thats crazy as hell.

Used to during the early 90's. After 7 ortho. surgerys my body can't handle the weight that I used to put up. If I can't train the way I used to I see no need to BB

Serious as a heart attack. The gym owner had just sold an assload of gear to an undercover cop out of his office 10 mins before. He was set up by one of the personal trainers that worked there-a chick that was working a deal w/ the DEA for getting popped herself. He got taken away in cuffs and a semi pulled up and seized every piece of gym equipment too. News cameras were there and it was quite the spectacle if I must say. Karma is a boomerang-the narc trainer chick was diagnosed w/ cancer a month later. Ouch!

 

[cityhick]

No shit. Who was the owner? Greg Valentino? I sure hope a good bro like yourself wouldnt be gettin fuckin gear near that douesh bag.

 

[thelion2005]

I am curious as to how many of you are competitive. Do you use gear just to be big for yourself, To compete in BB competition, Powerlifting, Or collage - pro sports?

It has always been for myself and my own self-image.

Today it still the same with a conclusion it can actual be used to improve my health and add longevity.
