successful in what?   money outside of bodybuilding ?

and Steve Reeves was never a pro bodybuilder, at least in the modern definition.  Grymkowski barely qualifies either.

Being openly gay does not correlate with being the most promiscuous.   
The closeted ones tend to be the bigger sluts.

your profile says you're 22, which means I was 'dating' top pro and amateur (male) bodybuidlers before you were born.

Gaspari

Word!

What exactly is the history behind Gaspari Nutrition anyway?  I would imagine it would take between $100,000 - $1,000,000 before you can even think about starting a supplement company.  He has many employees and appears to be doing well.  Does anyone have any information on that?

At least 2 of his employees post here.  One sent me a Gaspari Nutrition t-shirt which I wear all the time.  one of my favorite shirts.  The sizeon was great too - but that shirt is probably one of the best gifts I've gotten in a while.

I had e-mailed a Gaspari rep about getting supplements in for review.  I asked for an assortment of products and even offered to absorb 100% of the production and shipping costs.  At first he seemed into it, but no reply yet.  I need to go on something soon and want it to be the Gaspari stack.  I will try contacting them again...I can personally assure them it will be worth their while and at 0 risk, there is no way it wouldn't be.

My review of SIZEON which is an INCREDIBLE product:
