Hello is off season bodybuilding dead?

[chalkedup]

Buddy....are you a BBing fan...or are you some casual weirdo? That's a real question.
IF, you are a BBing fan, you can tell when shit is photoshopped. I think a more accurate question is probably about filters.
Photoshopped, for the most part, is pretty fuckin easy to see. When u saw the pic of Phil...did you realllly think that shit was real?
That's something my mom would send me and ask who he is...very casual fan shit.

Again, the filtering is more of an issue.
Go check out Goob (he's a lil much sometimes) and check out how he exposes people. ONCE IN AWHILE, he finds a pro level person doing shit. But for the most part its local level influencer trolls trying to appeal to casuals who dont have the eye to tell shit is fake as hell.

Ok bro I have a question that I feel is a problem for Bodybuilding. I have discussed Phil's pic in a previous post. You look like a large individual so you have insight, I appreciate that. You're telling me currently its not really an issue for you but how many people have spent the time you have to notice the "obvious". You say its only casual fan level that can be duped by certain types of enhancement with filters being "ok" to currently use. So maybe I jumped the gun a bit here I have just seen a tone of photos lately and it's like why is everything shopped? Though the question is who is fooled by these? Bro there are not many guys like you in the world. When will the tech get so good that even you or the Goober have a hard time telling?

Maybe this is a future issue, maybe not

BB fan yes Casual Weirdo no I live that shit full time

Lurker, first time poster. I am noticing that every pic these days is heavily modified. I use modified to lump in a.i./shopped/Filtered/something I don't even know of. Can you really trust any off-season photos anymore, or after the O? Will future O's be a letdown? Does he "only" look that good? I see him post on Instagram a week ago?? Not putting them down at all but some of these pics are is that real or not? Wondering if they are that good. Then is that pic taken in by a competitor/not fan? Basically, the opposite. Anyone work in the industry and know how to tell unmodified images? I think some are obvious but what about the not so obvious. Or is it fucked? Most people don't see pro level freaks everyday.

Stick to being a lurker.

The world is flat according to OP.

I really appreciate you posting this thread because I saw a pic the other week and I think it's photoshopped but I am not sure. What do you guys think? Photoshopped or not?

Saw some flat squirrels paving the road that couldn't make up their mind.

WE JUST NEED TO RECARB, ASSHOLE!

I saw a dead raccoon earlier on 9th Street.

Add tarragon to whatever spices you use… It really helps knock out the gamieness.

Ok I think you get it but are we at a point that pics are only "doctored". Natural images are for suckers? That being is off season bodybuilding gone as anyone could post pics of themselves or some fan does in a more favorable light then they ever will be and post negative pics of competitors? For instance, its Ronnie Coleman but Oprah body(to more or likely less of a degree). Do you not see pics on the net and you can tell they are shopped but maybe someone else is saying check out this dude, thinking he is real? I have seen pics of Samson as wide as 2 gym doors, some may look at that and say that dude is a freak, others like that is shopped. Its beginning to be everything is shopped. I am concerned the peak condition you speak of might be becoming unobtanium to probably only the most discerning people. That is those who know what an actual pro looks like, in peak condition, in person.

He is any bodybuilder

Go take a picture in a mirror with good lighting then take a picture outside in direct sunlight then rewrite this giant story

Guys there are folks who inject themselves with oil until it looks like crap. Not some guy just did a lagging body part, the whole body and gets vitamin poisoning and he looks like he has implants. People already use filters if you don't think there are current or emerging technologies that can make people look better that won't be used you're fucking crazy. A lot of guys use synthol/oil and HA everyday, and inject themselves 15 times a day with whatever else. Most of these people are not dumb they are extremely intelligent and extremely driven. Some folks say wait that guy is on to something, some folks make jokes with furry creatures, then some poor bastard tries to tie it to the flat earth, I don't mind which one you choose to be. Oh and environment has probably been done since they been taking pictures.

This will be my last post on this issue but you do you

So you’re a “lurker” hmmm

Just decided to skip the new members thread and the board rules thread on purpose then?

And in favor of posting this gem of a thread.

Get a job

You’re off to a GREAT start… You might tighten things down or your post-lurking career may end prematurely.

Not sure what your asking but I assume it goes like this

1. Get pump
2. Suck big ol gut in
3. Snap Pic
4. Filter then photoshop as needed

I worked so hard to get glute striations for my first bodybuilding show that I never wanted to get sloppy again. I made sure I always had visible abs in the off season. I did get the prego belly at 265Lbs but it had abs. It’s just too much work to get in Contest shape to end up bulking sloppy like Lee Priest used to do. I respect the hell out of Lee Priest for being able to put vanity aside for pure bulk mass living on KFC and pizza. When I saw him get 2nd in the Pro Iron Man and beat Ronnie Coleman, who got 3rd, I thought he was the most impressive looking on stage, absolutely shedded. And his skin was tight. Being young is a great time. You can stretch your skin to the limits and still be able to tighten it up. He was so depleted and still kind enough to chat with me and take a picture as was heading out in his Lotus. I told him won that show.

That part about Derek though is true but not only do I hate his guts and his face, I hate his voice as well.

Are you ok? What does this have to do with anything?
