Doom is amused.
Me too. The only thing funnier than Armageddon posting his question in this (heterosexual?) venue is that someone actually knew the answer and posted it.
As I see it, the trouble with musclegallery is that they dumb down the quality of their product by allowing models with less than first tier physiques. Should Paco B. and Johnny Jackson be on the same site with a physique like Michael Lee?
http://musclegallery.com/michael_lee/index.htmNo. What they need to do is create a first tier site for pro and high level amateur physiques and another site for second tier and maybe another site for wannabes.
If the first tier site were limited to pro level physiques exclusively they would have more pros willing to pose for them. The reality is it’s less scandalous and stigmatizing if “everyone’s doing it.” There are a lot of first tier pro competitors who are never going to win, place, or show in a contest and MG is a venue for them to make some cash and more would do it if the were modeling with their peer group.
Of course there will be some who will never pose and some who will pose and regret/deny it (Dugdale, Gustavo) but Brad Hollibaugh said it best, “Body building is about posing for the public. That’s what we get paid to do. I pose in front of large crowds all the time; I have no problem posing for an individual.”
MG needs to revise its business model/marketing strategy.
