This is great but it's not a first. Mits has been doing this for years (although I personally think the production quality of his videos is horrendous)

No...Mit's puts out the "Battle for the Olympia"....AFTER the show has come and gone.

Were doing this as close to LIVE as we can...shooting/ editing/ and loading it 72 hours after we shoot it...

Just like you watch a football game every week up to the Superbowl...you get to watch 2-3 Olympians training/ prepping every week up to the Superbowl of BB...the Olympia.

Mits has nothing to worry about.  The bbing.com shows are going to be aimed at a wider variety of fans...not the hardcore kind who buy Mit's vids and watch a short chubby Japanese man wearing kneepads follow around and shakily film his monstrous counterparts.

Those who bought TBFTO before will continue to do so.  This is a great idea for the rest of us.

Only 2 women (only fitness and figure qualify for females) and a dozen of men posing and flexing? Are most of the viewers gay, or am I the only one in need for more sexy women in this?? Watching the dudes train is cool and all, but I need top 5 of the women in each category atleast for me to buy it.

Just to clarify, my sarcastic comment was meant to point out the unfairness to Mits and recognizing that he was the pioneer of this thing. But I guess something got lost in the translation. I have known Mits for 10 years. I love that guy!

Whats going on is getting it loaded up to the FTP server...were using brand new equipment and on the road as were doing it, so we encountered some trouble because of the file size...this isn't some small video...it's more like  a movie in size, special effects, and quality as were shooting it in HD as well....

The boys will get it locked down by tomorrow...

Funny, Victor is here with me, Gustavo and Adela for the Copa 2007 here in San Juan Puerto Rico.
Victor arrived yesterday. I talked to him at dinner last night he said, Blechman didn't want his guys involved (Wolf, Dexter, Melvin, Etc) because he had his own Web site for them to appear on.
HHHHmmmmmmmmm, Victor emphatically stated, he has no problems shooting it but he listens to the guy who signs his checks, meaning he wont be appearing in the Series. :-\

Yeah... god for bid an athletes likeness appeared on a non-profit website or promoted the "sport" of bodybuilding in any way.  Oh wait, Bodybuilding.com plans to pull in thousands of users to their site with this footage to garner more income from their supplement sales and yet the bodybuilders will recieve nothing.  :-\

I wish it were just that...it's a 45 minute movie, and were on the road as were filming it, editing, etc...using new, state of the art equipment, it's a compatability issue...

I've been working on a few ideas to compensate the athletes...keep in mind..this is for the Olympia, and our part in it wasn't exactly "free"...we paid for the right to do what were doing, so before eveeryone starts crying about the athletes getting "screwed"..let's remember that we have spent well in excess of 250K.

Ohhh.. you made it seem as if this video was mainly being created to promote the Olympia not Bodybuilding.com.  I have no problem with that.  So you pay out 250k+ and any athlete who is competing in the Olympia "has" to appear in this video but doesn't see a dime from the 250k.  Yeah they ain't getting screwed.  But Hey it's not your fault Bob

What your missing is this if for the benefit of you "The Fans" as well as the Athletes for promotion of themselves and the sport.
When some athletes careers are over, they may only have this footage of what they looked like, what they were thinking, how they felt, etc to document thei time spent in this arena.
Ask some of the old timers who didn;t capture their time in this business on film what they'd give in exchange for what these athletes are getting free of charge!

Not every knucklehead will understand that but trust me, the Bodybuilders do!

Thanks, bro...

Much like the webcasts...for some reason, there are still a few fools out there who think it costs us nothing to produce these.

To the gallery:

As for compensation...no one ever said the athletes would not be paid. That payment comes in the form of prize monies from participating in the Olympia, which we have increased, and will continue to increase....promoting the Olympia should be a job not just for the promoter, but for all athletes that are in it...the more exposure, the more money gets to the athletes pockets, it's that simple.

Right now, any participating athlete will get $4K for showing up and taking part in a video...better that the previos amount of $0...and also better than receiving 50 videos for you to sell on your own as compensation...4 months AFTER the Olympia..!

Well Bob I understand what it takes to get video to the internet and all but you did in ticker tape parade bost this thing as if you guys had it all in place and ready for July 9th. well july 9th has come and gone and those who look for failure will bring out your flaws....did you guys not run video test uploading issues with these state of the art equipment...I mean this is in some fashion brought on by yourself in promoting with out having all your T's crossed and I's dotted. But im sure when the bugs are worked out it will be primo. Just next time you get new equipment test it a bit before marketing starts running wild. Peace Big man,

I think the picture quality was acceptable.
The content was great. the overdubs worked out well.
Though it sounded as though you were asked 2 questions during his set, as he didn't really respond?
Some posing would be nice (with overdubs), the lighting could be a bit better for more visual of the muscles being worked.

Overall I think you'll have made a great start.

Hey guys...looking for a little help here.

Go to the "Olympia Series main page", where you can see the short version and long version of the Marcus Haley segment...

I'm looking for some feedback as to whether or not you guys like the longer version with the interviews and pop ups put in, and most of their training....

I didn't like the pop ups.  I couldn't read the first one or two and they make the film look cheap.  The video quality was OK for the internet, but I had a problem understanding the dialogue.  I could understand Bob alright but others were much quieter and difficult to understand with the background noise.  I only watched about ten minutes because I don't know who Marcus Haley is and I couldn't get into watching him train.

If you have better audio and bodybuilders I have heard of then I would definately watch it all the way through.

Post by: beatmaster on July 11, 2007, 07:45:57 PM

watched the short version (maybe because i'm not one of his fan), so don't know if he spoked about his diet, if not, that would be a nice thing...

Like I mentioned earlier I was able to get most of the way through it before being kicked off. However the pop ups werent working for me. As in  I didnt really care for them.
As for audio, maybe a guy w/a boom mic or having the guys w/a microphone on them would help. It always sounded like Marcus was whispering when talking between sets.
Title: Re: "OLYMPIA: THE SERIES"
Post by: Chick on July 11, 2007, 08:37:37 PM
We've already fixed the audio problem...and the grainy quality was due to the problems in loading it/ size it was compressed to.

I appreciate all the comments....

I'm more interested in knowing if you guys like the longer, more in-depth version, or the short choppy one....

I watched them both

Was it interesting?

I liked the shorter version but if i was looking to sit down and learn more about the bodybuilder id probably go for the longer version. Overall i'd say theyre both good depending on whether  you want more or less.

What would you like to see that wasn't in the segment?

I think this covered what's good.

Very much!

What would you like to see that wasn't in the segment?
Maybe some more about his training philosophy: high volume, low volume; heavy weight or a "squeeze" approach; does he have some special techniques?

Maybe some numbers about his diet: grams of protein, carbs, fat (bulk and cut); foods that he likes for cutting/drying him out...

Who was his rolemodel, does he have a favourite bodybuilder like Arnold or Haney or Bob Cicherello...


Overall feedback?
When I tried to watch using internet explorer my internet explorer crashed after watching a couple of minutes so I had to use Mozilla Firefox to see the whole episode. On the boards here in belgium and the netherlands there are a lot of people with this problem. Maybe that's the reason why you think that people want a short version video because there computer crashes after a couple of minutes watching and it seems they quit watching.

Watched most of the long version of Marcus Hayley. Just saw that there is a new one of a female BB'er (can't remember name).Would watch the whole thing if it were a bodybuilder i was more familiar with, but still cool. Quality was ok. Sound needs work though, very hard to hear Marcus talking. Content was good. Pop ups were, imo, a bit lame. What other pros are going to be in this series? Overall i think you are doing a great job Bob of giving us BB'ing fans as much coverage of the pros as possible. Keep up the good work.

Question:

If I remember correctly, Bob, you said that this series was unique because videos would be posted literally within a few days of being shot so that the show is pretty much live, the whole concept of the series. Now, on the radio show you listed half a dozen athletes already filmed, so does that mean they will all be posted this week to keep the unique live timeline, or will some athletes shot be posted weeks later? I understand it takes time to edit, etc. But if the turnaround time will no longer be a few days for each athlete, how long of a time are we looking at?

Thanks! Keep up the great work.. very cool idea.

i agree...but training shouldnt be special. its the consistancy that gives the results combined with sustained hard enough effort. not going to the gym to scream and do endless forced reps, just to quit after 2 years.

the more glass can normalize and make silvios training boring..the better results silvio will get

@Bob/Chick

Are all olympia series will be made in the US, or a you planing to come to visit our german Prof.-Bodybuilders here in germany ?? (Markus Rühls Fitness-Center it´s only 5 minutes away from Frankfurt-Airport). Dennis Wolf trains and live around 130 miles away from Rühl (Dortmund/Germany). But Ronny Rockel trains in the former eastern-part of germany (about 4 hours with a car away from Frankfurt).

The toney freeman episode is by far the best to date bob!

Good job with this one. If the future episodes follow this format everything will be just ok.

I think we all understand that you guys were workin out some kinks with the first few features, but this one is really good.

plus toney is just so damn confident it makes for a great segment.

the more broads the better 8)

seriously, now that I got a new comp, I can watch this stuff flawlessly.  My only request is that you make this like the webcasts of the contests so you can watch it full screen instead of in a 4x4 inch window.

great job so far regardless Bob.  Nice to see them prepare as it's happening vs. waiting 6 months for Mits to get his shit together.

No doubt the Darrem segment was the best.  He's become my fav bber.  Honest, yet soft-spoken and humble, and willing to share his lifestyle with everyone.

I had no idea his wife competed too.  I believe she's over 40, and I know she's beautiful.  Any comp pics?

Anastasia looked good too, but that voice... well....  ;D

My only gripes were the camera work.  It was too dark when indoors.
And of course it looked as though the interview was cut short by
running out of tape as Chick was about to get into some more meaty questions.  I would think it would be a no-brainer to carry more film or disk space.

Chick, Will there be a part 2 to the interview, to be aired before the Dayana Cadeau shoot?

The film thing is kind of rediculous.  You spend thousands of dollars on charter planes,
hotel expenses, and hi-end cameras.  The cheapest thing, yet one of the most important
things is the film.  From what I understand, the Freeman segment was cut short too.

Add a key grip or best boy to the budget to ensure film is available.

I will come to the states some day after getting my MBA in february and have a feel and at least watch a show.

QT isn't making any friends lately. Bashes Toney. Toney has gained the respect of fans and fellow competitors. Quincy saying his conditioning is 6x better than Toney Freeman. HAHAHA. No way QT. Step away from the buffet line and try to focus, Freeman has left you in the dust.

Calls Gustavo an arrogant jerk and a block of cheese again. Saying Gustavo needs to check himself. QT is the one who needs to check himself.

Says he doesn't know who Kai Greene is. HAHAHA.

Isn't it a little presumptious to film QT for the Olympia series when he has yet to qualify? 4th place this weekend at the Europa doesn't land you on the Olympia stage.  ;D

 I see QT more block of cheese than Gustavo. Because Gustavo has more V shape than QT.
But, telling the truth, I love trouble maker like QT,Kamali,Milos,Shawn....etc. They make BBing very exciting war.

So i watched the olympia series with quincy, x-men, and silvio. Im very surprised with silvio's personality, he actually has something to tell.  Quincy is is a funny guy, but he and x-men, dont come across as themselves, they re pretending to be somebody, if you listen to Silvio, he's telling it like it is, intelligent, and true to himself.

hope this helps.

Ronnie is most definitely a champion. He is gracefully giving way to the next generation and talks with A GOOD SENSE OF MATURITY, knowing very well that anything can just happen. He gain my ultimate respect with his answer to the question about the Olympia. But expect Ronnie in his all time best, wins it and retire. Whatever happens he is forever the BIG NASTY KING COLEMAN

I shoot as many qualified athletes a the schedule (and budget) allows....filming QT or JOJ, Cormier, etc makes for great content as they all could very well qualify....there is no down side that I can see.

As for Dennis Wolf, marcus Ruh, Ronnie Rockel, Gustavo....If they are in the states prior to the Olympia, perhaps we could get them as well.....I've traveled enough this year.

Bob Chickerello -- 4 weeks out.

When we last left our hero (Bob) he had just finished an interview with Darrem Charles and stopped to sign an autograph for a 10 year old kid in front of the gym.  "Thanks!," said the kid on the skateboard, "good luck against the Redskins!"  Huh! The young mand thought Bob played for the Dolphins.  "No, I'm a bodybuilder.  Bob Chicerello.  You've probably hear of me."  The kid shaked his head no.

Ohhhkay.  Back into the van and on to the airport to fly to the next location for OLYMPIA: THE SERIES.

who knows.

in all serousness though; if youve never tried doing deads on the smith you should really try them out next back day. i love doing them. you can go really heavy, and it gives you an awesome deep burn in the lats when you do 'em right.  i like to do them first, so my lats are pumped when i do my pull downs, thus making it easier to isolate my back from my bi's in that movement.

Just wanna say that you guys have done a great job with this series.....especially since it's the first time with it. 8)  Chic, I've busted your balls on a lot of stuff, and you've fired right back.  For that you deserve kudos for doing a great job on this.  You're starting to get really good at this my friend.  Keep up the good work!  I don't know if it was my suggestion that got you to do it, but I'm glad to see that you ended up making these be viewable in full screen mode after the first few.

I really hope that you guys shoot the O in normal mode.  When I hooked up one of the webcasts of one of the shows to my bigscreen, it seemed like everyones physique was really distorted bcuz it was shot with a wide screen angle cam.  Even Gustavo's atrophied legs are going to look like Platz's if you do that for the O.   :P  I'd definitely prefer to pay 30 bucks to see it done right, but it is what it is, and I just wanna say thanks to bb.com for providing this series, the smaller shows, listening to our suggestions, and soon the Mr. O for free in lieu of the PPV!

Mad props to you guys.    8)
