pet peeves in the gym -- jonny appleseed, 04:49:41 02/06/10 Sat [17]
I just wanna know what the rest of you think about your top things that bug you in the gym.
For me
1 is some ego maniac who throws 6 to 7 plates a side on the smith machine and i think he is doing a correct squat when in reality he barely benting his knee. And his expression on his face is "evevryone look at me i am awesome"
2 is the guy who is a pretty built guy who some squeezes into i size extra small t shirt.
People no one cares that you think you are the strongest guy in the world or that you just go to the gym train your muscle but train your EGO

-Scivation is sponsoring the show and each competitor will be receiving a large container of Xtend.
-PushingWeight.com is also on board and will be providing t-shirts for the Open Bodybuilding class winners.
-Cellucor will be providing samples for the goodie bags and their northeast rep (Steve P)will be in attendance.
-I have judges coming from 5 different locations, all very experienced and professional.
-Overall winner will have their entry fee paid for the NYS Natural/IFPA Pro Bowl on April 10th, 2010 and will receive a supplement package compliments of Scivation.

The Metroland -- Shitty Tri's, 19:24:46 02/06/10 Sat [1]
What's up with this Albany show?? I understand that its not a sanctioned organization. Does anyone think its worth doing? Any big local names competing? Will it be a decent show? Thoughts?
hardcore fitness -- scott, 05:01:50 02/03/10 Wed [16]
To craig, to stand and lie right to your so called friends and then take their money and close the gym. Shame on you. There is no lower life form than that. Id trust a snake crawling on the ground in front of my feet before i every trust or do business with a snake like you

I personally don't give a hoot if some gym closed up north.Let's keep the focus on the big three shows that will be happening in the NYS.

This show is a classic for amateurs looking to get the scoop on what some of the IFPA Pros do for training,diets,etc.
The "Forum" is hands down the best bodybuilding venue in the NYS.
The DJ/MC are a comedic and professional.
Judges from all over the east coast
Big cash for the pro division

Any questions please call me 315-415-6801
Doug Miller VS Jim Cordova -- Allen, 09:01:31 01/24/10 Sun [20]
Doug Miller VS Jim Cordova I Know this would never happen but who would win. Also why does WNBF not let their pros compete anywhere they want too.
Wake up and Smell the Roses -- Anator BOGO, 12:49:34 01/27/10 Wed [4]
I understand being a pro in another natty org, and still technically an amateur in the inbf.....and i understand the logic behind competing to say that you "won your WNBF pro card", but it only truly makes sense if you want to use that status.
Especially if you already are promoting and going to compete as a pro in another natty org a few weeks later...is worth the 500$ you would spend on gas/entry/poly/inbf card/ hotel, etc?
Re: Richie Daggs contact info. -- Raymond Miller (bodybuilding), 14:18:34 01/27/10 Wed [3]
Hey rich,rather curious.why is the contestant entry fee so xpensive?I have never seen a ameature show so xpensive.Jay Cutler is having a show in may in boston as well&its not as high priced.a couple other people asked me same question.Till i looked the site up again&saw the price,i wondered as well.thx Ray
Check out this video... pretty motivating and very true -- Berg, 10:17:42 01/23/10 Sat [5] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sahSEi7diAc&NR=1 (2009 versus trailer) listen to the words he says... "...Passion has funny way of trumping logic..."
Cardio is a waste of time..... -- johnny, 18:26:25 01/19/10 Tue [19]
Cardio isn't even necessary..it's way overblown...it's catabolic, energy wasting and time consuming....b/b's are aiming to KEEP muscle...and cardio simply wastes it... don't understand why cardio is so praised. If a person counts calories and stays below maintenance 4-5 days out of the week (depending on how much fat there is to lose and how much time someone has until show) and trains heavy and with high intensity efforts and avoids overtraining, he/she will lose the fat and keep the muscle! I think peeps don't want to do the work of weighing/measuring and logging evreything they eat into a notebook. We are NATURAL bodybuilders....we need the all out anaerobic high intensity weight training and the subsequent rest to recover and grow.....let the training build/keep muscle (and rev up metabolism) and let the diet strip away the fat!!! I am so tired of this cardio madness.....it doesn't build muscle (burns it), it doesn't really burn that many calroies for crying out oud..one catabolic 45 minute cardio session burns approx. 250-300 calories..whoopie...nothing a meal of chicken and brown rice can't re-fill. Eat frequently, smallish meals with proteins and carbs between 30-40% each...and fats 20-30%...and be below maintenance caloric levels by the time you go to bed and the fat will melt off........re-feed or eat maintenance caloric levels 1-3 times per week to keep it staggered.
good luck to everyone -- Youngblood, 19:39:23 01/23/10 Sat [1]
HI everyone i just wanted to wish everyone well for this years contest season. Back in the northeast. looking forward to watching some shows this spring. Hope all is well

Starting the year off right... -- Damien DeDonatis, 06:00:47 01/21/10 Thu [4]
*Hello everyone! It seems like the year is kicking off again into the correct direction with competitors taking the level of fitness goals to an ultimate level of excellence.
*I just wanted to clear the water with a few things. I have reflected upon my realistic 3 years off from competition. I know I have competed in the past years but honestly by reflecting back on all the pictures compared to 2006, I must have been lost in a dream!
*I basically was humbled this past year, when I took a good look at how hard you all diet for your contest prep. It disappoints me to say I was very unreasonable and unprofessional by simply gloating how it takes me only a month to get in shape.
*I can understand how this may turn off a lot of people. For this I extend my hand in apology. I want you all to know, I am taking this year very seriously and have a scheduled diet performance of three months.
*I have a new outlook on this sport and appreciate it much more. Thank you all for getting into my correct frame of mind.
*I also want to clear the “Natural” comments made in the past up. Please understand, I do not condone supplements. I choose and my beliefs are to eat strictly food. This drives many people to not understand me. Please know I don’t feel it is necessary for me to buy all the extra supplements for my body at my early age of 27 to use.
*I utilize my local farm and seriously go through an incredible amount of food. I consume at least 9-12 pounds of fish/chicken a week, 15 dozen extra large eggs/whites every two weeks and a massive amount of organic flaxseeds, organic steel oats/olive oils vegetables beets, spinach, asparagus etc.
*However, I understand some of the supplements out there I could reap the benefits from, but I do not choose to at my early age of development. Perhaps, in the future, when I get into my older years, I could implement some. Do you have any suggestions? I am always open for a good conversation on this topic.
*In closing, I want to wish you all a safe and great competitive year. Again, I cannot speak for the past. I can only speak to the future. I assure you taking the time to reflect has made me more connected with my mind and spirit. I had to get this of my chest because it has been bothering me but most importantly I have disrespected many of you in the past and may have hurt your feelings.

Meal plans -- JOE, 05:29:15 01/19/10 Tue [5]
I've done some BB shows in the past both on a 5 meal plan and a 6 meal plan. Right now im Doing 5 meals a day. 8am..11am..2pm..5pm and 8 pm.
Should i add 2 more meals?? maybe 5am and 11pm??
Do you think this would increase metabolism and help retain some muscle???? Any thoughts are appreciated.

March 27th 2010 OCB "The UPRISING" update -- Ron Parmeter, 07:37:55 12/17/09 Thu [9]
Just a quick update. There has been a few changes with the show. We have changed our venue to Beekmantown High School. It is located approximately ten minutes north of Plattsburgh.
I have also found a host hotel that is very affordable and will accomodate early registration and polygraphs sessions the Friday before the event. At a normal rate of $90.00 a night I was very shocked when they gave me a rate of ($57.00) a night.. The hotel is right off the interstate and has Price Chopper, and the mall surrounding it. It's also walking distance to several restaurants. www.daysinnplattsburgh.com
Our website has been updated. The show logo is just sick! Entry forms are also available on the site. www.ocbtheuprising.com
Our poster has been completed and copies will be printed next week. Anyone interested in posters please e-mail me your address. admin@ocbtheuprising.com
Happy Holidays to everyone and best of luck with your preps. I hope to see some familiar faces attend "The Uprising"..

Bodybuilding and Hunting -- Grizz, 04:08:50 11/29/09 Sun [14]
Hey everyone I haven't been on here in awhile but was wondering what those of you who compete regularly and hunt do about your meals while out in the woods. I also thought this could be a differant sort of discussion for a little change in topic. I know that sitting in a tree stand with all my hunting gear on top of all my food and supps and water is a pain in the ass so would like to see what others out there do? Hope you all had a great holiday and an even better upcoming hunting and holiday season as well.
