Bodybuilder of the Week

**Trick D** · 01-03-2006, 02:09 PM

I want to start something new so that people can learn the history of bodybuilding.

We will start doing bodybuilder of the week... which will showcase one bodybuilder from the past or present. You can use this thread to nominate someone. I will be posting some contest history, facts, and pictures of the person.

I will make this a sticky and people can post their nominations.

I listed Mohamed as a top three in my picks thread but no one seemed to know much about him. For that reason I would like to nominate a two time Mr Olympia runner up as a future bodybuilder on the week.

Awesome... I am going to copy this and put this in the bodybuilder of the week thread, so that people will start doing nominations there to keep this forum a bit more clean. He will definitely be a bodybuilder of the week very soon!

I'd love to learn more about this...when I first got into this, someone mentioned Ronnie and I was like "who?"...I'd love to learn more about the history of this, and see where we've come from.

Great idea IMHO.

Sorry I can't contribute more in this area though...

**Trick D** · 01-09-2006, 06:31 PM

No problem. We will contribute for you, and if you like what we are doing, give us positive feedback. We love it... if you feel we aren't doing a good job, tell us too... we always strive to become better!

Does anyone have a bodybuilder to nominate this week for bodybuilder of the week? If I don't get anyone in the next day or so, I will come up with my own.

**antihero** · 01-19-2006, 04:03 PM

I nominate someone who I feel does not get the recognition that he deserves:

MELVIN ANTHONY

**Trick D** · 01-19-2006, 08:12 PM

Aight, I will post something on Melvin tonight... Great shape...

**schroeder** · 01-20-2006, 01:52 AM

lee priest should be the bodybuilder of the week every week

AYung · 01-20-2006, 03:16 AM

Melvin is a choice. I'd like to nominate Serge Nubret. Outstanding conditioning.

**Trick D** · 01-20-2006, 04:57 PM

Aight, now this is what I am talking about. Melvin will be posted today, next week we will do another one. I promise that Lee and Serge will be on there soon!

Awesome... I would be honored to do a female bodybuilder... I don't know hardly anything about any of the greats. I did meet Linda Murray this past year. Very elegant woman.

**Trick D** · 01-30-2006, 06:40 PM

How about next week? We need a few nominations!

Mike Francois great physique and great record that was cut short by illness. one of the thickest backs in bodybuilding! shit he was thick all over and he's an ohio native..LOL one of my top three fav. bodybuilders.

**Trick D** · 01-30-2006, 08:16 PM

I thought about him as well for next week. I will probably do one on him.

Lift · 01-30-2006, 09:09 PM

I've always been a fan of mike mentzer

Id love to see him as bb of the week. Even though theres lots of controversy over whether HIT is effective his training philosophy gives you a lot to think about especially if you are new to lifting.

**Trick D** · 01-31-2006, 04:26 AM

He will defintely be a bodybuilder of the week... I guarantee!
