Has anyone seen Mark Dugdale's DVD "Driven"? I heard it was good entertainment as far as bodybuilding DVD's go.
-
I like his DVD. Good all around content. Not just all training but gets into his life out side of the gym. His girls are dolls!

It's one thing to look up to pros for their physique, but for me to actually say I look up to Mark for his brain puts him in a rare class amongst his peers - at least in my book. I don't want to just see a blob of muscle when I see a pro, I want to see one who is intelligent, articulate, handsome, generous, as well as having the physique attributes. And even in terms of physique development, some pros take it too far to the point where I would never aspire to look like that.
This will probably turn into a religious debate like all the Dugdale threads do.
I don' t think there can be any questioning that Dugdale isn't a stand up guy

no doubt! I agree!
-
One of the best total build's in the pro's,just enough of everything.
-
Very good physique.
Nice guy, it seems.
One of the few pros who have mangaed to balance bbing with other things, such as career and family.

I think Mark gets flak because Christina is/was a bit over-the-top as a mod on mayhem. But that is what mayhem brings out in everyone. Even Ron Harris said he believed Gregg Valentino when Gregg told him his biceps were from site injections. There is a psychological phenomenon that goes on on musclemayhem called "groupthink". It is quite interesting to observe. I could probably write a 100 page thesis on the subject in reference to that website alone. I haven't been there for ages, so things might have changed. As membership increases it really does become difficult to ban everyone. Maybe if I pursue a Master's degree I will see if I can do that thesis. Mark gets more flak than your average pro because people hold him in higher regards because he is a businessman and family man and is also a bit more openly religious than some pros (most pros ARE religious, but you don't hear Dexter or Melvin getting flak for it).
The video is great and offers a lot more than your average pro DVD does. Mark also handles 405 on the incline with ease.
you have a psych degree, right? the dichotomy between mark's apparent good guy, stand up christian lifestyle and his being part of the "muscle hunks" group. discuss.

He's pretty short though!

What the matter with being short >:(??

A bit?
That's the understatement of the year. ::)
Christina is just sooooo Christian... she's the ultimate role model of the "perfect" wife & mother. If you don't believe it, just ask her... she'll tell you, ad naseum! ::) ::)
That's why Dugdale gets flak, for sure.
-

Ask Matt C!
-
Amen :P

I think Mark just has a lot on his plate. Not to say that he isn't handling it well, but sometimes a person can make mistakes if they have a lot of work to take care of at any given time. I don't think he really knew that the website was predominantly targeted to a gay audience.
And yes, Mark's physique would be perfect if he was around 5'10 or so. My understanding is that he is around 5'6.
c'mon, bro'. one look at the website tells you the orientation. i'm not downing the website's "bent," by any means. but if you've got this job of running a multi million vegetable operation, well, why?
-
Mrak is a very nice guy, very friendly, and the DVD is entertaining.
His christian beliefs are shown there, but he doesn't give you the impression that you have to be christian to be worth to watch it. ;D
-
Mark is a cool dude !
awesome physique too :o
Best side chest in the sport.
-
That's what works in his defense. There is no way Mark needed the money for this "gig". He probably literally didn't even bother checking into anything at all then learned after the fact that maybe he should have, lol.
How tall is ND? ???
5'11" taller than you ;)
-
in the sport.
::)......not a sport!

::)......not a sport!
Are you trying to say bodybuilding is a sport?? >:(
-
Bodybuilding isn't "a" sport, it's THE greatest sport.
-
Bodybuilding isn't "a" sport, it's THE greatest sport.
Bodybuilding is not a sport.
Hope this helps.

Aaaaahnt, wrong! Markus takes that title.
-
Mark is one of the nicest guys around and has a physique to match. Don't knock someone because of his beliefs. The DVD is excellent too, i definately recommend it.

Here we go..... Mark does not get knocked for his beliefs. He gets "knocked" for his wife shoving her beliefs down peoples throats, thinking people who are not Christian are lost and also making dumb assed statements like " Impotence/not being able to have kids in BB's is not from steroids/bb drugs. It is from watching to much pornography" ::) She posted that in one of my threads last year. People tend to get annoyed with his wife spouting on and on with the Christian stuff/ While Mark is pounding illegal drugs to compete. Script or not he don't need steroids for shit. Hard for people to listen to a person criticizing their life due to sin, while the accuser is sinning themselves. I am sure the Christains will find some technical loophole to justify shit. Doesent surprise me. This whole country is filled with "selective" Christians. I knew a ton of girls like that in college! Sex with me/random college dudes out of wedlock was fine!!! As long as they went to Church once every few months they get to go to heaven!!!
I feel bad typing that. Mark is also a very nice guy who posts on here time to time. But I think he gets flak due to what his wife says. Also her blatant abuse of mod powers in the past pissed some people off.
People do not like people who are overly nice. Is that a word? Just human nature.

body88 - don't feel guilty for anything you have said. They are all valid points. Now I would suspect Christina is a lot like a lot of good looking women I know - she has been used to having her ass kissed since birth and has come to expect it. My older sister is under the impression that treating men like shit is grounds to be treated like a princess in return because that's what she's been used to her entire life. It makes me sick. Moreso the lapdog men who actually promote this behaviour from bratty women.
She may be making a point in that the abuse of pornography is a bad thing, but to suggest that pornography in moderation causes impotence is ludicrous and also a medically bankrupt statement. Although I've noticed it is a typical conservative attitude to not "get" the fact that some people are actually able to moderate bad things so that they are a plus in their life, and not a minus. Abuse of anything is bad of course. Hence the name "abuse".
What left me most unimpressed with Christina on mayhem was how she deleted Tim Fogarty's posts on how SprayFlex is a scam despite the fact he defended himself with scientific evidence. There is no excuse for that. I know Mark loves his wife and will want to defend her through thick and thin, but I don't see anything wrong with him admitting that what she did in the case described above was out of line.
Also, it is wrong for her to push her beliefs on other people or condemn other people to hell. Even if I was a Christian, it would not be my job to judge somebody like that. It is the job of the Christian deity.
Lastly - I'm an eminently reasonable person. If I'm not impressed with somebody's behaviour you can damn well guarantee I have grounds to feel that way.
The last Christian girl I was with ended up pinning the whole thing on me and in her mind actually believed I pressured her into doing stuff with her, even though she is the one who organized the alone time with me to begin with and asked for a massage. Of course she wanted it, but thanks to her brainwashing feels the need to feel guilt over having basic natural urges. ::)
All this "sex before marriage" nonsense was created by the church as a means of birth control. Then in the sixties actual birth control was invented! So now we don't need to follow this man-made nonsense to prevent unwanted births anymore. Hopefully the churches catch on to this at some point.
Agree 100 percent. Great post as always matt.

i got bored cause of the bible talk
overall it is an OK DVD

Damn, is she that big of a bitch?
-
She is not a bitch at all. Seems to be a nice person. Just totally delusional.
-
She and Mark seem to have this "rock star" attitude where they're convinced that everyone is jealous or envious of them. After I was banned, she even went so far as to send me a PM implying that God would punish me for standing up to her on the Mayhem boards. Strange--I just got a nice new car, and a promotion at work to go along with it. Maybe she should pray louder.

hahahahaha, she didn't really do that did she?
-
hopefully you people aren't implying that mark's the one who wears the skirt in the relationship.
why can't he be a good christian and uppercut her a few times?
-
They do tend to think that. Some people assume anyone who criticizes them is envious of them.They might encounter some of that. But they are not Bratt Pitt and Angelina lol. She is a pretty woman. but to be perfectly honest she is not incredable like the schmoes tend to believe.She is a beautiful woman. She is your run off the mill pretty mom you see walking with there kids in affluent areas. I wish her the best but she needs to chill out. Or needed to chill out. Have not heard from her since. Things could be different now.
I have no problem with Mark of Christina as people. I am happy they are successful. I wish mark the best of luck. The religious stuff gets to me tho. No problem with people who are religious. But I cannot stand bible thumpers.
-
hahahahaha, she didn't really do that did she?
Yes sir, she did.
-
Yes sir, she did.
hahahaha, i'd love to find out about her coming home one day and fiding Mark in bed with another woman and then losing all faith in her "creator" and having her spirit crushed.
