T M : Competitors

Let me put this in a way you'll find more prevalent.

If more people are tested for covid, there will be more positive results. Right?

So if less people are on tm, there will be less competitors. Right?
 
Where did I say that in my post?

BBing is becoming more popular again due to the creation of classic. People don't want to be 260lbs on stage with the health implications.

Forums are dying. Hence less competitors on here. Join Facebook groups or instagroups and its totally different.

I stated it above in the thread from evidence.

I also stated that BB is becoming more popular due to physique etc.

Keep up mate.

The forum angle is an interesting one though, Simon would have figures I reckon.

As stated above, I'll ask Simon for data........
 
Welshy, Bailey, Tom, myself were all competing in 2017 along with Dig, LL, Robbie. There may be more. Will be interesting to see the numbers..........
 
So you think that competing has lost its allure then?

@noel @pooley1810 what are the numbers like at the BB comps these days?
@RS86 what are the numbers like at the PL comps these days?

I'd be interested in whether competing was losing its popularity. I'll try to gauge numbers but from what I recall, the competition numbers are increasing, certainly in BB with physique etc.

@GhostOf2Can you are exempt from this thread anyhow as you have stated that you are going to smash a DL comp and maybe even a WR soon. Look forward to it :thumb::thumb:


In Asia all time high. A novice bikini and men’s physique show in China can pull 400-600 competitors. Just those two classes. Yes things have changed but I think it’s popularity is up when including the newer classes and I think will continue to grow , more and more shows happening here , more pro shows planned this year (we were due to have 3x as many as the year before ). I see that first hand just with our own training business too.... definitely growing. Even with Covid about. Classic physique also taking off in popularity which makes sense as BB is a long game and many Asians just aren’t big enough so will do classic and then aim for 212 or just do 212 if they are the bigger ones.... I would say that shows here are a step ahead. Money spent on the venue and stage. Korea pro was going to be very popular as they treat people well, out on amazing stage and effects., in China you’ll get celebs going too , it’s marketed very differently. No working mans club in a former coal mining town it’s high end hotel or casinos or proper nightclubs or theatre. Different product ...honestly it’s far more respectful to the athlete and why people wanna travel from the us or Europe to compete here

I was referring to Ken boxing mate

Scared of being beaten and exposed as being all mouth would be my guess in his regard.

Much better to challenge people to drive out of their way to fight u online, that way you can have as much bravado as u like and never have to back it up as the only person sad enough to be involved in such phaggotry is Ken himself. Dat master plan

It’s interesting though that he’s forgotten that and instead chooses to call out younger lifters for not lifting in a low level meet or standing onstage at the local town hall
 
But most of the regulars on here have competed in iron sports at some point

I compete in PL’ing when younger (and offered Ken a direct competition last month which he quickly declined)
GG did strongman
Noel BB’ing
Pooley BB’ing
Golf Delta BB’ing
Sunny did a gym comp and is thinking of physique
RS strongman and PL

I’m sure there’s others I’m forgetting. So out of the people who still use the forum I’m wondering who he is calling out?

Proteinbrah and Phani Tikkla?
