- 2008 USBF PLATTSBURGH NATURAL PRO-AM / MsUSBF FIGURE PRO / MEN PRO / WOMEN PRO -- Keith, 06:00:15 12/29/07 Sat [18]
Here is something a bit different. Anyone interested in being a judge at the show please drop me an email. I am very interested in getting a qualified panel of judges for the figure divisions, especially since I have added a pro division. I believe i have a few openings for bodybuilding currently. Sully is tenatively the head judge again.
All last years judges please email me if you are interested in judging again. Show date is May 31st.
Room and transportation to and from show on me. Possibly saturdays breakfast at Perkins will be included.
Looking forward to the 2008 season!
Sincerely,
Keith

- Sorry But Can't stop this -- Grizz Hater, 08:42:22 01/02/08 Wed [3]
Ok I said that I was not going ride Grizz's ass anymore cause I was seeing a completely differant person and really was making efforts to respect him then New Years Ever I see him training Legs and cryin his f'n eyes out while talking to Heather P. What kinda of no spine pansie comes to the gym and cries while talking to someone. Granted had I not walked by him I would never have known because he was facing the mirrors but come one. I mean get a f'n grip dude. I feel like I try to give this guy the benefit of the doubt but he just seems to be a no spine pansie ass lil bitch. So because this happened before 2008 I am going lay off for a while (maybe). I think anyone who seriously consideres this kid a competitor needs to throw him out and forget about him as he is a wash up and a one hit wonder.

- Steve P. & Grizz Training together????? -- Grizz Hater, 06:51:52 12/21/07 Fri [14]
Well its been a while but I caught something taking place that I never imagined.... Steve P training with Grizz. If Grizz is no longer training he sure as hell does not look like it!! He is the thickest I have ever seen him and his back is getting ridiculous. Steve was helping him do shoulders and Holy crap the two of them were talking it up quite a bit..... I am starting to see a differant Grizz so maybe its time to not be a hater and give this kid a chance...... So here is my new years resolution..... Becuase of what I have seen that Grizz is a true bodybuilder regardless of his competition schedule and he truly lives the life all year round I have to say that 2008 means I am off his ass and watching and hoping he comes back because he is looking F'n ridiculous right now. Steve might want to train with him and maybe he could actually win. Well enought out of me but remember I still have a few days before 2008 gets here. Happy Holidays everyone!!

- Figure walk has got to go Part 2 -- halzman, 16:10:46 12/13/07 Thu [19]
One of the main reasons I posted this topic is because of the one phrase everyone has stated. QUALIFIED JUDGING!
What makes a qualified judge for figure?
I put the figure national (qualified )women on my panel. Is that a joke?
Now lets turn to the other side. When I recently competed this year at a USBf show.I was judged by figure judges that obviously didnt know squat about bodybuiing.When I asked to see the score it was relevent. Bodybuidng judges scores 2,2,2,2. Figure judges 3,3,5
I think the right way to go is for two panels. To many times judges are getting bodybuilding & figure mixed up. As far as what they look for. That is why I use pro qualified figure women.
I dont want to get rid of anything that brings intrest to a show(walk) . You guys know me well enough.We have to fix these problems going into 2008.Wether we have to create a figure chairmen or whatever you want to call it.
All right hit me with your feed back.

Reading the new USBF rule book -- halzman, 05:24:59 12/11/07 Tue [9]
Did anyone notice that "conditioning" is not part of the judging criteria?I must have read over it.
I dont like the symmetry pose of hands over the head abdominal either. I think the best symmetry pose would be front lats. It shows what a bodybuider should present. I call it the "X" FRAME. Do you guys agree or no.I think i will have my sis post the rule book on the site.

- USBF Scoring Modification -- Doug, 06:08:40 11/21/07 Wed [3]
As hinted in a previous post, there are some 2008 changes:
The USBF rulebook is being updated to include an optional (I say "recommended") score sheet and method.
The improved sheet has separate scoring for symmetry, muscularity and conditioning, each scored independently of each other. The scores are added and places determined by low cumulative. Ties would be broken by predominance of ones.
Brian is drafting the score sheets and all promoters will get to review the sheets and rulebook changes.
Keep positive opinions and recommendations coming!

- Cissus quadrangularis -- Berg (curious), 15:06:23 11/30/07 Fri [2]
Hey everyone,
Been having a lot of tendon problems in my elbow again recently and it's getting to be a real pain in the rear. I was wondering if any of you have heard of "Cissus quadrangularis" and it's potential for helping with tendon issues. My exact issue is a previously torn tendon attaching the extensor carpi radialis brevis to the lateral epicondyle in my right arm. This issue was repaired a couple years back through surgery but lingers all too often anymore. If anyone has had any experience with this "Cissus quadrangularis" stuff and knows the deal with it could you please let me know. Thanks everyone.
-Berg

- same ol' same ol' -- We should all post like Mike, 02:19:24 11/15/07 Thu [7]
I don’t come to this board much anymore and this is the reason... It’s a lot of bitch slapping, back stabbing, and classless crap.. Very few people post anything worthwhile... Most of it’s O-ME, I got screwed again or some other pitiful excuse... Personally it’s tiring and boring to read the same crap over and over and over and over... People who have been around the sport long enough no what’s up... to me it’s about lifting and defining who your are in the sport... Being respectful of others... Bringing inspiration to the younger class moving up and who will some day take your place to keep the Natural movement going... Or the person that has set a goal for themselves to get in the best possible shape they can and does a show just to see how they have done NATURALLY.... How can you get or give respect to the sport if all we read is whinny baby bull crap... We are all representatives of the sport... I could go on with this but I think some will get the point...
What you do today will help shape the movement of tomorrow...
THINK ABOUT IT...

Just finalized today. On 4/26/2008, Quality Physique and Fitness and Pure Focus Sports Club will be promoting the first annual USBF New Jersey Natural Classic. The show will have all the regular divisions, as well as, a woman's pro bodybuilding and pro figure classes. You guys made the Jersey Shore Natural a huge success so I am hoping the same for this show. I will be looking for all the previous bodybuilding and figure winners to showcase their talents for cash. Wow, its gonna be great. Don't forget guys, a USBF pro card will also be on the line(Iwill pay entry to next pro show) and the winner of the masters class will get free entry towards the promasters in August.
More info to come.

In following Kents lead I have decided to add Womens Pro Bodybuilding and Figure to my show, in the hopes of making it more attractive for qualified women to decide to turn pro. Our 2 shows are 5 weeks apart, making it a perfect spring series to compete in.
Kent and I both are working hard, behind the scene, to make this work. I will be pestering companies to sponsor either both events or at least mine, trying to get the payout as large as possible.
But, in the end, the success or dropping of the divisions ultimately will rest on participation.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
