    Obviously, I'm not Johnny or Dave, but the show is in Pittsburgh, right? Sid's in NY, Dave and Johnny are in Florida. Dave's also just got out of shoulder surgery, didn't he? And there's the question of sponsors and paying for a trip to PA, accommodations, and permission to film at the venue?

    Sure, it would be awesome to have Rx Muscle cover major national shows, but it's no surprise that they're not.

    The title of your forums says "The Truth in Bodybuilding" yet the forums or RX Muscle cannot cover the largest shows. Those being on the face of the United States being the 4 national shows in Pitt, Chicago, SC, and Florida.

    How it is other online forums can, and RX muscle can not when they use to cover about 4x the amount of shows over the last few years, and then it went on a steady decline? There use to always be play by play's even for non-national level stages and shows. It just seems like there is not a demand or there is less of a presence of actual bodybuilding, or following of it on these boards.

    I may be wrong, but when the best of the best is stacked up on a stage, usually a website that has a presence to go out of its way to follow and post images and updates on those shows (Dave's play by play's) brought some great traffic. Those threads got a ton of responses, and had a nice following to them. Then again maybe not everyone is on here for the "Truth in Bodybuilding" As indicated by the forum title.

    Truth in Bodybuilding doesn't imply ' We provide live bodybuilding show coverage'

    Just go look at the play by play threads, and look how many views they got. Look at the participation from others who did follow along. Do you not think they are valuable to this forum?
    What is more important on a "Bodybuilding" Forum.Following a play by play, or listening to poker face ace troll the forums?

    There needs to be more discussion on the sport if that is your motto. To you it may not be provide live bodybuilding coverage, but its a shame to barley see any coverages on any shows held around the united states. Then again maybe a large portion of the members don't care for competing or shows. That makes me question why this is deemed "The Truth in bodybuilding". A majority of the popular threads are in the misc section, talking about movies, sports talk etc.

    I just hope to see more things related to bodybuilding on these forums in the future. Wrong or not that is just my take.

    PFA is not here trolling the forums, but you're here.

    I did not say, nor do I think a large portion of members don't care for competing or shows.

    It costs a lot of money to cover a show and if there was so much $$$ to be made, I am sure if Dave could be there with the RX crew, he would.

    How you correlate the inability to cover a show as lacking in ' The Truth in Bodybuilding ' eludes me.

    So now I am a troll because I asked about national coverage on one of the most competitive bodybuilding shows on a bodybuilding forum?

    I am just failing to grasp how "The Truth in Bodybuilding" and RX Muscle correlate.
    Besides there are possibly 12 members who post on here, and 75% of the posts have nothing to do with bodybuilding in the first place.

    If you look at other boards whom have play by plays their numbers are much larger and their participation is in higher demand. It seems like it is beneficial from my POV to include coverage if there is access to it.
    Does everyone care about it on here? No, but back a few years ago there was far more people posting, and more people interested in following along in the sport.

    If RX Muscle does not want to pursue play by play's or more information regarding the sport that is totally up to the admin team and mod staff. Someone who does compete that is a major reason why I like checking on these forums, and posting here.

    I didn't call you a troll. I said PFA wasn't here, but you were here. Get a grasp.

    Are you going to keep ranting on this?

    You make a lot of posts that have nothing to do with bodybuilding in this forum.

    I am failing to grasp how you cannot understand what's going on after the decline in show coverage by RX for the last 4 years.

    Not sure. Maybe his Kindle battery went dead again.

    He's probably on one of those other sites that has the high participation of the play-by-play, or should that be pose-by-pose coverage.

    Why is RX Muscle called "The Truth in bodybuilding"?
