I actually think there is a big problem with people doing a few tours and then stopping. Despite what has been said so far, this still gives a considerable advantage. I don't want to say that I have my doubts, but given that the winner of the British Classic powerlifting 83kg class used to be a bodybuilder, I have more doubts than I otherwise would have.

/probablyjealous

You've been powerlifting long enough, you should have an idea what is/isn't suspicious, so I'd say it's normal.

p.s. I used to 'bodybuild'

Berating him is the first stage of beating him though, right?

He was on stage and won though. Vince Mwayi, for those interested.

In all seriousness, I'm not even really accusing him of using when he was on stage. He just has the appropriate "look". Seems like a nice guy though, he was coaching a guy in the juniors so I met him briefly when I was helping Dom.

None of that will matter when you beat him next year, right?

Why do you want to do it? To compete/for your modelling or purely for vanity? If it's the latter, I think you need to really ask yourself if it's worth it.

Steedie said:
If you're going to do it, do it properly. But again, if it's because of being jealous and mostly for vanity, I'd argue that you should steer clear

MoNkeE said:
Yes I do this for vanity, but my own vanity. I don't care what others think about me, I just want to feel good about myself

this confuses me.....

He's to shy to compete! If he stopped all the takeaways he could probably drop a weight class as well

LiE · 11 Sep 2012 at 16:34

Stop takeaways? madness!

Ice I'm up for competing next year, you'll need to hold my hand though

I think i have missed some stuff from this thread,

from what i can gain from quick recap?

MonKee is competing with Steedie next year, while both are flat out on the monkey juice (no pun intended) that right in a nutshell?

Only the odd fist or two :cool:

No, MoNkeE isn't competing

I intend to move to the UKBFF in a couple of years time once I feel ready

What does?

Fireskull · 11 Sep 2012 at 17:48

Damn I was only on page 453 this morning and just refreshed...

Where do we stick what...?

your advice to Kai was that if he was considering a tour for vanity reasons he should not do it, Monkee is saying he wants to do it purely for vanity, surely you would be the first to advocate that he shouldn't.

Steedie · 11 Sep 2012 at 18:08

I've spoken to MoNkeE for months about this, I've told him what it's about, told him the risks, told him the pros, and told him why he should/shouldn't do it

Ultimately, that's all I can do, he made his decision and as it's an informed decision and something he's thought about for a long time, I'll support it.

I told kai he shouldn't do it for vanity, doesn't mean if he chooses to do it anyway I wouldn't support him. End of the day it's about being happy, if that will make you happy, why not?

Syla5 · 11 Sep 2012 at 18:15

Aye fair enough, personally I hope it goes well for you both. Would be interested in the before and after pics, and the strength gains of some proper commitment put in to it rather then seek the usual meat heads down the gym.

Skillmister · 11 Sep 2012 at 18:52

jesus i go to work for a day and miss all hell breaking loose. Now i remember why i sit at home all day on the forums

Hope you don't turn into raging roiders bros x
