M.A.D.MikE is right; that’s pretty standard for competitions. The stage lights help to balance it out, but the idea is that by being both shiny and unnecessarily tan, the details of their physique will show better on stage. Because as we all know, ladies love a vascular man.
In BB tournaments it’s actually obligatory to shave your whole body and cover it with this crap, so…”
That really isnt the case. They shave and a lot of them get blacked up as it shows muscle definition better….sadly it also mostly makes you look more of a tool also.
WIN!! you made me lol FTW! But I’ve thought of a similiar thing: in the 19th century a mad scientist copper-plated a dead body… creepy… thats why i hate Galvani…
Whats so fail about this????
I am BodyBuilder, and its perfectly normal. We all tan and shave on contest for better muscle definition. Its perfectly normal. What so fail about this?? Absolutely normal looking guy. (Actualy he is looking good). You all people are fail who don’t know from what are you laughing. Some dude posted here as a fail, and everyone agrees, because some one said it is.
ROFL! In LA it is expected for every man to have at least a small gut. The majority of woman actually prefer the guy with a gut than the physically fit.
It’s normal if you are taking ‘roids you mean. NO way is that a natural contest. I like body building too, but there comes a time where you just have to stand back and say mother nature has done all she can so stop now.
Sorry, you CAN get that way naturally, it just takes a lot of hard work and dedication. That ain’t happenin overnight. You’re looking at about 5 years of working out (at the very least) about 3-6 hours a day, every day, a specific diet. Getting a body like that can be done, but it’s pretty much a full time job.
I will bet if this guy does the crab in the spotlights on stage you are going to see a big ol’ bald or thinning patch on his head. He looks like he gets the shots to me. I have been around plenty of serious body builders since the 80′s and I can spot a drug using one fairly accurately. If someone can do this 100% naturally, good for them. But I think it would be one in a 10,000 chance. This guy just looks too big and too ripped. JMHO
I am AnorexiaPerson, and its perfectly normal. We all starve and waste away on quest for better looking body. Its perfectly normal. What so fail about this?? We are absolutely normal looking. (Actualy we are looking good). You all people are fail who don’t know from what are you laughing.
As far as physique, he’s looking quite good and mostly proportional, in terms of BB potential… personally I’d say he should increase calves and cut his thighs a little more, but I haven’t seen the overall picture.
I’d be surprised if he didn’t place top 3 in his weight class.
In terms of the bronzer he’s using, though, it’s clear he didn’t apply it evenly and the oil he applied too liberally to his body (and apparently not his face) is reflecting the light something bad… which makes it look like he was dipped in paint.
Us white guys have to be careful when we try to ‘fakey tan’. It can look good if well done, or it can make you look like you swam in it.
The bronzer is fairly evenly distributed on his torso for what it looks like on a white guy in the first place (natural tan FTW! fake tan for all others) except where it ends at the level of his chin. The obvious difference between the amount applied below his chin and the amount applied above is… well… obvious.
And let’s not get into the gobs of oil he’s got slathered on…
No stage lights I’ve ever been under make you shine like an Oscar… but those stage lights will make you sweat something fierce… which means this guy will be literally OOZING oil (and bronzer) all over the stage.
So yeah… sorry… this one’s a fail.
It’s fail because he’s a colour no human skin would ever naturally be, and his mis-toned head looks like it was grafted clumsily onto the top of his strange and utterly unappealing body. If this is what bodybuilders consider good looking…
WG goes off to find a nice soft, cuddly, pasty geek boy…
I must keep in mind his goal is not to look good, but to pack on as much muscle as his frame can hold. Really, I think bodybuilding is a waste of time. Just get some practical muscle, and you can stop there.
He was trying to highlight cuts/striations for the contest he was about to enter, judging by his conditions. he just went a tad overboard on it, but it’s not really a fail…at least he’s been successful with his physique. and before you all shout “steroids”, there’s still a lot of hard work gone in, and the fake tan isn’t pernament…
Bodybuilding is a very peculiar pastime which has gone too far into the wacko zone. The idea of body building originally was to build a pleasing physique and not a huge hunk of muscel so large that the man or woman is hard to distinguish as a human being. Steve Reeve, Lex Barker, Reg Park, John Grimek and many of the early body builders had the right idea. Well proportioned musculature that was functional and looked good. It has become an absurd contest to see which contestant can be the biggest without regard to proportion. Steroid etc. have contributed to this insanity.
What did he do to his leg? The right one that’s in the back? It looks like someone split his leg open, took a bit of meat, then put gold paint on to cover the deformity. And his face is a different odd color than his body. And from what I understand from the above comments, he did this to himself ON PURPOSE? eeeew. If that’s considered nice looking, then I don’ wanna see what’s considered bad. Just…Yuk!
This is what all bodybuilders do. It is called “protan” or “dreamtan” and you need it to compete.
Take this from someone whos mother is a BIG name in bodybuilding.
Yes, they need to grin, to get the judges attention.
This must musculature on a guy is just….gross, to be honest. I mean jumpin’ Christ, look at his legs!! What the hell is going on there?? And what is with that crap all over him…and for crying out loud, couldn’t he at least FINISH the job? It looks like he went uber-tanning while wearing a beanie and sandals. >_<'
I hate these pics. Body builders bronze themselves as part of the competition! Its part of the deal, so stop thinking that they do this every day like its normal.
I would love to see someone like this as a villain in my superhero photocomic “Union of Heroes”! I already have a story in mind and it would be oh so great!
In BB tournaments it’s actually obligatory to shave your whole body and cover it with this crap, so…
But do the have to grin so hard?
uhm … actually they do? :/
So, you’re asking or answering?
maybe he’s askering?
Well let me answer that by asking you this…
He’s a politician, then?
Who: me, he or that?
yes.
I wanted to ask this
For what reasons?
Because Discovery Channel said so
Discovery Channel, Schmischmoschmoschmy schmaschell(sch)
what a lovely pair of coconutsHave you ever been to be so much that you had for such as this?
Qwaz is obviously a Brian Regan fan
I think you’re a bot *is suspicious*
Maybe it’s the last of some rare species. . .
Let’s kill it!
Good idea! Then can we cook it?
Absolutely! Do you know a good taxidermist?
I do! I’ll call him when this blizzard abates.
Good! We can store whatever we can’t finish off in a snow drift.
wait, I are have the proof I am human. I talk is like human…
Hello fellow young parsons, I too am so hip and on the go that I drink my yogurt from a tube.
Aww. Humans are cutest in their larval stage.
Got a good laugh.
Uh, sorry, I won’t be taking questions today.
So, what’s YOUR perfect Sunday?
Moi perfect sunday…
ledgendary
Not a bronze god…. more like a bronze omg.

It’s a Golden Ratio.
Gooooooddddddd mornin’ Vietnam!!!!!!!
hehe
That guy is training to be an “Oscar” or what?
I think he’s training to be a Nascar
It’s an audition for a remake of Goldfinger.
do not know why but the look on that guys face creeps me out
because the look is creepy?
The whole everything on that guy creeps me out.
If you listen close you can hear him saying “Oil” through those clenched teeth.
“My oil. You will taste it”
♫ Grease is the word, is the word ♫
If he only had a heart in there, it would probably explode from the growth hormone.
I doubt I would have the courage to give him CPR.
You’d have to go through the soles of his feet. His brain certainly isn’t getting oxygen through the rest of him.
I saw Wizard of Oz, too!
He’ll what?
first?
Fail?
Sadly it’s only the third best fail, so bronze medal is awarded
I’d hate to see who “won” first and second!
FIFTH AND SIXTH!
It’s Brundle-fly!
He looks fried, alright
*sneeks into thread*
*kicks “r” and puts a “L” in fried*
*fleeswithaquickness*
(sorry about copiright..hehe)
It’s OK, I don’t think anyone’s copyrighted Sneeking yet.
You’d have to consult our local lawyers Dumas&McPhail (and Leila) on that, though.
Isn’t it all so quiet here on weekends??? hehehe
We should ask Leila to “judge” this guy…
or just to defende him for being acused of “being flashy”
Get used to it. As the European Contingent, mornings, especially weekends, are a no man’s land.
I “blame” Family! Hehehe
I’m going out with my baby boy now! Weekends FTW!!!
So if it’s a no man’s land, then there should be a lot of ladies around.
One would think that true, but anyone who has attended ladies night at the local pub knows it’s just a sausage festival.
In BB tournaments it’s actually obligatory to shave your whole body and cover it with this crap, so…”
That really isnt the case. They shave and a lot of them get blacked up as it shows muscle definition better….sadly it also mostly makes you look more of a tool also.
BB tournaments sound dangerous.
You’ll shoot your eye out.
So I should lick this flagpole instead?
I triple dog dare ya.
Did you say fudge?
Football. . .
“Shopping!”
its a major award!
sorry i couldnt resist
Not a finger!!
You used up all the glue… ON PURPOSE!!!
creepy shit.
Sh!t doesn’t creep, it crumbles.
…or steams in a heaping pile.
…or drops with *plop*
goooooldfingeer
WIN!! you made me lol FTW! But I’ve thought of a similiar thing: in the 19th century a mad scientist copper-plated a dead body… creepy… thats why i hate Galvani…
Stuff like this gives me nightmares.
This is giving me ‘nam flashbacks for some reason. Which is odd, because I was born in 1983…
You mean nom flashbacks, and it’s cos of the big blue lunchbox in back.
Why is the lunchbox sad?
Possibly because it’s for a bunch of health nuts. And, therefore, tastes no good, and was made fun of by the other bagged lunches.
Notice the one “bulge” he’s not willing to show us…
Steroids – Fuxing with genders since 1985.
He should come up to Canada… it’s cold enough here to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.
They should be gilded, getting bronzed is asking for third. Saves on medals.
Gelding would be a good idea.
That’s not funny, quit horsing around.
Neighs to the left.
Heard he’ll be in Iron Man II ..
Copper Man?
Someone better phone Black Sabbath about a theme song…
Bronzed Man… brought to you by coppertone and steriods.
Did he dye?
It’s a re-enactment of life in the bronze age.
Beats the age of Aquarius.
Far too much hair.
*Shags*
(Sorry Arthur)
(Sorry Moomin)
I REALLY want to watch this.
Sorry Dilly, the Clippers game is on.
But I’m buzzed NOW!
Fine, I think Skinner is shaving points anyway.
He should be on his guard, then.
He might find himself at the center of a controversy and get cut.
Travelling without mowing.
Baa! He’s courting shear madness!
(I read that as “Travelling without mooing”.)
…Which is funny any way you slice it. *squeezes*
Is it even possible to travel without Moomin?
*Squeeze*
Hee! That should be a finable offense.
Don’t let yourself be cowed!
No squeeze afterwards?
*squeeze*
I’m sure there’ll be a very happy body builder coming in third and taking this gentleman home to put on his mantle piece.
This is not a muscle man.. it’s the trophy the winner takes home!
Achilles? Is that you?
What a dip.Maybe Midas’ poorer brother touched him.
Or Talos had a kid after all.
Is that a NJ douche with a muscle suit on ?
I thought that “NJ douche” was a euphemism for when your toilet unexpectedly overflowed while you were sitting on it.
Ever notice it’s really really hard to clean puke off a keyboard?
no.
Whats so fail about this????
I am BodyBuilder, and its perfectly normal. We all tan and shave on contest for better muscle definition. Its perfectly normal. What so fail about this?? Absolutely normal looking guy.

ROFL! In LA it is expected for every man to have at least a small gut. The majority of woman actually prefer the guy with a gut than the physically fit.
Gee…i wonder what an abnormal man would look like then….
*shivers*
Does this ring a bell Maki?
I am not an animal!
It’s normal if you are taking ‘roids you mean. NO way is that a natural contest. I like body building too, but there comes a time where you just have to stand back and say mother nature has done all she can so stop now.

No?
*waves arms*
He’s Doomed!
It’s fail because he’s a colour no human skin would ever naturally be, and his mis-toned head looks like it was grafted clumsily onto the top of his strange and utterly unappealing body. If this is what bodybuilders consider good looking…
WG goes off to find a nice soft, cuddly, pasty geek boy…
If a soft, cuddly, pastry boy would do, I hear Master Pilsbury is available?
Hmm…affectionate *nibble*s might be a wee bit problematic, though…
He always rises to the occasion though.
*squeeze*
And really…who kneads anything more than that?
*squeezity-squeeze*
I doughn’t know, awkward people.
Well, the proof is in the pudding!
Don’t pin him down…that’s not how he rolls.
I pita the person who thinks this is normal.
I love your rye humo(u)r, Fluffy.
Batter them than us.
Yeah as someone who doesnt think Bodybuilding is something creepy and for idiots I have to say …awesome color there! Looks great.
About as normal as your grammar?
Pull the plug out of his ankle and watch the ichor drain away….
Quite! (clickie)
LCB! Lookie, a shiny!!!!
:ick:
This one may not even appeal to her.
I don’t see how she could carry him, he looks like he weighs more than Bender.
Dad, why’s that one Muppet made of leather?
Call Cash4Gold! We could get A Lot Of money for this “Gold” Man!
I lol’ed
You can almost tell that under layers of spray tan is the color of an actual human.
Holy shit.. really? He looks like a Rolo candy wrapper.
OMG what creature is that?
bronze finger
He’s puffy galore.
The picture may be a fail, but today’s comments are full of win.
He seems to have gone a little overboard with the self bronzer.
Don’t worry, it’ll buff out.
Another victum of Gold’s Gym.
I carumba!
*Bukkits
lol its looks sooo weird but ur supposed 2 dot this at body building comps :S freaks!
It’s just a guy standing behind a headless bronze statue.
Arthur, you’ve managed to make something creepy even creepier.
*Shutters at the thought of that head belonging to a normal body*
Oh, do you wish you were blind?
I see what you’re trying to get me to do.
You’re not the boss of me now!
Matthew 18:9
He looks like the Shamwow guy
Is this what prolonged exposure to the Shamwow does to you?
what is this i don’t even
I want to check his liver function. That bronze skin looks hemochromatosis’d.
It’s tanner, not his actual skin color.
LOL!!! *clap clap clap*
Horrible
Umm… Racist?
Not really. It’s used to show muscle definition, not make him seem African-American.
No I’m pretty sure this is racist. He’s wearing Blackbody and his cracker eyes are screaming “Ha Ha Black People!”. it’s shameful.
why did i have to see this
it’s actually a picture of han after he gets released from the carbonite.
Seriously, that’s not a fai. They have to be like that.
It may not be a fai, but it’s most definitely a fail.
Absolutely. Seriously, no one “has” to be like that.
:ick:
Um, yes! I totally agree, haha! People!
*wipes off bronzer with a quickness*
Get rid of those gross muscles while you’re at it.
:ick: :ick: :ick:!
I was trying to be pretty for YOU! I think I just threw my quads out *cries*
*pat pat…*
Um…can you even feel that through those bulges??
Oh, now I’m fat?? I haven’t eaten anything but whey and hormones in years!
hahaha best comment ever: “I want to check his liver function. That bronze skin looks hemochromatosis’d”
what good are you… honestly?
Well, she can probably figure out the “Reply” button.
I must keep in mind his goal is not to look good, but to pack on as much muscle as his frame can hold. Really, I think bodybuilding is a waste of time. Just get some practical muscle, and you can stop there.
My brain recognises the individual elements of this picture, but refuses to process them all together. Seriously, what the hell is on his skin?
A wild GUIDO appears!
i robot, now in bronze
OK, so now I’ve looked and cringed, can someone explain exactly what this guy has done to his skin, and what he was trying to achieve?
He was trying to highlight cuts/striations for the contest he was about to enter, judging by his conditions. he just went a tad overboard on it, but it’s not really a fail…at least he’s been successful with his physique. and before you all shout “steroids”, there’s still a lot of hard work gone in, and the fake tan isn’t pernament…
Bioshock fans out there: anyone getting a flashback of the last level? Frank Fontaine FTW!
The look in his face reminds me of “Johnny the homicidal maniac” for some reason… :S
Bodybuilding is a very peculiar pastime which has gone too far into the wacko zone. The idea of body building originally was to build a pleasing physique and not a huge hunk of muscel so large that the man or woman is hard to distinguish as a human being. Steve Reeve, Lex Barker, Reg Park, John Grimek and many of the early body builders had the right idea. Well proportioned musculature that was functional and looked good. It has become an absurd contest to see which contestant can be the biggest without regard to proportion. Steroid etc. have contributed to this insanity.
mommy, that statue is scaring me!
dont get too close…
if i was that color, i’d be genuinely scared..
I would call this a face fail.
WTF? It looks like he rolled in a mixture of gold paint and shit…
:twitches:
:dies:
What did he do to his leg? The right one that’s in the back? It looks like someone split his leg open, took a bit of meat, then put gold paint on to cover the deformity. And his face is a different odd color than his body. And from what I understand from the above comments, he did this to himself ON PURPOSE? eeeew. If that’s considered nice looking, then I don’ wanna see what’s considered bad. Just…Yuk!
I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.
This is why Ompa Lumpas should not be body builders…
The return of Doc Savage: Man of Bronze.
Reminds me of the last boss in bioshock.
yeah, that eve tends to bronze you like a thanksgiving turkey
this could be a good rick roll
Why do the muscle men always have to be such butter faces. :/
Dum-bums
This is what all bodybuilders do. It is called “protan” or “dreamtan” and you need it to compete.
Take this from someone whos mother is a BIG name in bodybuilding.
Yes, they need to grin, to get the judges attention.
Duhhh
Haha
I dunno, i think he’s looking pretty sexy to me. Despite the asshat grin.
that looks kinda photoshopped
the head looks kinda photoshopped,
Its not photoshopped douches!
Is that a man over on the right?
So this is what they modelled the Oscar man after…
Yuck. -_-
This must musculature on a guy is just….gross, to be honest. I mean jumpin’ Christ, look at his legs!! What the hell is going on there?? And what is with that crap all over him…and for crying out loud, couldn’t he at least FINISH the job? It looks like he went uber-tanning while wearing a beanie and sandals. >_<'
“Sir, we don’t know what species he is, but what we do know is; he’s definently not human.”
Aaaaauuuuuugh! D:
spray tan fail
This fail is so epic, it’s not worthy of 5 thumbs down.
Take four instead.
I hate these pics. Body builders bronze themselves as part of the competition! Its part of the deal, so stop thinking that they do this every day like its normal.
Also, stop thinking its bad fake tans.
retards
Iiiiiii aaaammm IRON MAN! Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!
Someone got into the vegemite Me thinks.
I would love to see someone like this as a villain in my superhero photocomic “Union of Heroes”! I already have a story in mind and it would be oh so great!
It sure looks like he has left his…
…Golden years behind.
YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAA
He looks guido-ish.
