Still wont beat roelly though

How many BBers with horrible weak points EVER brought them up to a level where they are no longer classified as a weakness?

Name them.

This is bodybuilding -- one's genetically derived structure plays a crucial role in the outcome of competition. Whether or not one can overcome their physical shortcomings is how bodybuilders define success. Your solution overrides this fundamental mentality, as using synthol means one is no longer bodybuilding.

His biceps are REALLY REALLY small

This that's REALLY REALLY too bad for him. Thus is life. Elite levels athletes in any sport get where they are from a combination of genetics and hard work. Neither one of these can be bypassed in the pursuit of success, let alone both as your post suggests.

not even if somehow he did manage to bring them up, it would take a year and a half minimum to get to an acceptable level... they are just that small compared to the rest of his arm.

Then it'd probably behoove him to spend the next year and a half trying to bring up his bis, no? Synthol isn't always noticeable, but if someone like Fankhouser's arms grow significantly in a very short time, odds are it'll be pretty damn apparent and, subsequently, not too pretty to look at. The crux of bodybuilding is resolve, which you seem to either be: A) ignorant of, or B) indifferent to. Frankly, I don't know which is worse.

Go and ask flex, dex, Ruhl and Martinez (just to name a few) why they ended up using it.

Yes, because when people perform certain behaviors it's clear that said behaviors suddenly become acceptable. What kind of backwards ass, one-dimensional logic are you positing here? Also, Dex? Not saying he didn't use the stuff - he very well may have - but where's this information coming from?

First I have an objection to the autheticity of this claim... especially in Dexters case... theres not an inch (at leats the visible one ) that hints synthol use... his calves are his only weak body part and yet theres no hint of synth there... I seriousely doubt if he used it else where!

Second even if they DID use synthol... suggesting to someone else to do the same ... doesnt sound right... sounds bad actually... very bad!

IMO He can if he is ripped.

synthol leaves a (for lack of better word) Puffy look to your muscle... when Dexter was young he had calves and those were regular calves on a regular Bber... unfortunately while he grow into a Mr Olympia his calves stayed where they were........ neither today nor earlier Dexter had puffy calves

And yet you refrain from posting a pic yourself. Not that it matters, as individual usage is hardly the problem here, but this post wreaks of idiocy as well.

I posted that because i knew someone was going to post the pictures. I didnt really care about proving chewie wrong or not. Plus, i couldnt remember what contest it the pics were from so it wouldve taken me a while to hunt it down for something i dont care about... sooo, why does it wreak of idiocy?

Hide, from 2 weeks out to 10 days out

[mvsf1]

^^ Another unbelievable conditioninng by Hide.

 

[tim290280]

^^ And yet he still looks crap.

 

[dilatedmuscle]

His belly button is getting larger lol He's been holding his conditioning for a while now.

Does hide have a mouthguard in? Was he doing military presses and chipped a tooth or something?

I remember seeing a vid where he explains that..

I don't know if he feels more hardcore, or if the mouthguard has some nutrients in it to be absorbed by the gums..

everything you said means shit for someone who needs/wants to win.


Dex > pictures..
dilated couldnt have hit the nail on the head anymore accurately

yep tkd..

As you said.. its life, he can either except his shitty biceps and inturn lower placings and be pushed out of the top whatever by the likes of Martinez or he can do something about it and i think he was the first one who realised his biceps are beyond shite before anyone else and i`m pretty sure hes done a lot to try and remedy the problem but clearly it hasnt changed.
I`m not saying to synthol to the point of milos (check 99 O) but just a bit to reduce (not cure) the ultra obvious weakness.
Its not that such thigns have become acceptable.. its the fact that others are doing it to help their weak bodyparts. You become a victim of your own honourable conscience, going into a competition and taking all the stress and dangers of Pro BB knowing full well there are others "using" it and so you have potential for a lower placing

In that picture of Ronnie, Dex and flex.
Dex > we can clearly see his use
Flex> One of the other TOP pros had stated he has implants in his calfs
Ronne > His calves are no different to dex from that angle... I`m not sayign he has used but werent his calves ALSO a horrible weakness?

I disagree. He looks great for being a short guy. Yeah, Lee Priest looks better, I know, but that doesn't mean Hide looks bad, does it?
