LIFT Studios Launches Muscle Phone
Bodybuilding news, gossip and NPC & IFBB contest results delivered directly to your phone, within seconds of them happening.
DENVER, Colorado, February 11, 2008 – LIFT Studios (www.liftstudios.com) announced today that it has launched Muscle Phone (www.musclephone.com), a new text messaging service for bodybuilding fans. Muscle Phone alerts subscribers of the latest industry news, gossip and NPC & IFBB contest results.
“Muscle Phone breaks new ground for bodybuilding fans and I’m excited to launch with the start of the 2008 NPC & IFBB contest season. Those who sign up for the service will receive the 2008 IFBB IRONMAN PRO results via text message immediately after they are announced,” said Isaac Hinds, Owner of LIFT Studios and Creator of Muscle Phone. “Bodybuilding fans no longer have to be glued to their computers or rely on friends for the latest NPC & IFBB contest results or industry news and gossip. Muscle Phone allows fans to be connected to the industry at all times. Strategic partnerships are being formed to connect fans to the latest industry news and gossip as part of The Muscle Phone Network,” Hinds goes on to say.
“Bodybuilding fans deserve faster and more creative ways to keep up with the latest news. Muscle Phone is a great innovation and a terrific way to ensure that you don’t miss out on any of the big stories and contest results,” said Dan Solomon creator of the popular online radio network, Pro Bodybuilding Weekly. Similarly, Ron Avidan, owner of getbig.com, the most popular bodybuilding website states, “Muscle Phone is a great way to get all of the latest news right away. Getbig.com is proud to be part of The Muscle Phone Network.” One of bodybuilding’s most respected writers and radio show host, Larry Pepe states, “The modernization of the bodybuilding, fitness and figure industry continues with Muscle Phone, the latest example of utilizing new technologies for the benefits of the fans. Being able to keep up with all the latest info by simply checking your phone is just awesome. A great idea whose time has come.”
Fans can access Muscle Phone, by texting the word MUSCLE to 64274 or visit www.musclephone.com, standard text messaging rates may apply. Currently the subscription is not available outside of the United States but plans are being made to expand globally.

He's building up a userbase. When that community is built up, he'll start offering premium services.
(I have a friend doing it very successfully, a free sms site, built up loads of users, now they have a lot of stupid shit that you think people wouldn't pay for but sure as sugar, they do).

Another Lift Studios Muscle PhoneTM testimonial:
I saw the whole thing on my Lift Studios Muscle PhoneTM! When those results were texted to me, my woman's box got moist over the technology at my command!
THANKS LIFT STUDIOS! :D
-
And another:
Where are you guys "seeing" this stuff happen? Is this thing broadcasted or something?
I watched it on my Lift Studios Muscle PhoneTM, of course.
Thanks, Isaac! :D
-
I was a down-and-out loser living on the streets, begging for food, and getting no play. Then I got Lift Studios Muscle PhoneTM. Soon I was offered a Muscletech contract, my own TV show, and da bitches just throw themselves at me!
THANKS ISAAC! :D

Fire, Electricity, The Wheel and Muscle Phone. The greatest inventions of our time.

My phone was turned off until just now. Knowing what I know about Lift Studios Muscle Phone I was afraid of pressing the power button.
Summoning all the strength and willpower left in my masturbation ravaged body I placed my finger upon the button, closed my eyes and applied the necessary pressure to initiate the starting sequence.
As the phone made contact with the network provider a seemingly endless stream of POWERPACKED messages began attacking, BLAM BLAM BOOOOOOOMM BEEP, each message incrementally adding to the volume of the tone until finally, my phone had reached infinite loudness. A feat only possible with the Lift Studios Muscle Phone membership.
At this point I had severely compromised hearing, but I did know that Dexter Jackson had won teh Arnold Classic!
Thanks LIFT STUDIOS!
-
I lost 300 pounds with my MusclePhone ;D
-
I was out drinking and fillin' some hoes holes when I checked my musclephone... Dex won. How would I have been able to climax not knowing such info? Thanks Issac :-*

No matter what methods I try, I cannot help but beat up Isaac over this.
-
More praise for Lift Studios Muscle PhoneTM:
I base my life on two periods: before the muscle phone and after the muscle phone.

Glad you like it Howie. The only complaint I've received is fans wanting texts more often.
See ya in Charleston at the JR USA.

I've heard that it is garbage really gay.
fixed.

I mean, is there enough important news for this to even be entertaining? Most people give a shit about 3-4 shows tops. I have a feeling this will be constant spamming of worthless drivel such as "Silvio Samuel spotted eating at Arby's" or "teen-age neanderthal face bodybuilder takes 2nd place at local Ronkonkoma NY Finals"

I'm expecting future spam informing us of the many gay fine Lift StudiosTM products and services available to us. ::)

I don't have posts deleted. I don't believe in censorship. You're confusing me with the IFBB butt-boys with blue stars.

As posted by VVV :
I was wondering why Issac started this "free" service for and I knew good and well that it wasn't out of the goodness of his heart.
Well folks, I decided to examine it and apparantly Issac is actually going to make a lot of money from this and hears why. Below is the Terms and Conditions of using the Musclephone service and I have highlighted the area of concern:
By texting in, you are subscribing to a text alert subscription. Standard text messaging fees and other charges may apply. You may stop this service at any time by sending a text message with the word STOP, END, or QUIT to 64274. Your phone must have text messaging capabilities. You must be the owner of this device and either be at least sixteen years old or have the permission of your parent or guardian. The service is currently only available in the United States. We value your privacy and will not share your information outside the Muscle Phone Network.
Now this highlighted may not mean much until you read about "The Muscle Phone Network.
THE MUSCLE PHONE NETWORK: We're currently building the Muscle Phone Network to include the industry's best media outlets and businesses. If you're interested in becoming part of the Muscle Phone Network and how you can benefit email us for more information.
Essentially Issac now has a list of the numbers of people interested in health and fitness and is in a great position to sell targeting advertising to health and fitness companies who agree to sign on to the "Muscle Phone Network".
Eventually, you'll receive the gossip and news..... But you'll also be receiving advertisements from those on the Muscle Phone Network
One more thing, Sprayflex is a member of the Muscle Phone Network........hope you enjoy those ads
Great job Issac, I didn't think you could sink so low. Selling text message advertising to companies. How pathetic......

I just got my cell phone bill for this month and realized that my cell phone company charges 9.99 for "data and third party charges," all data blocked now. Not so free after all!
Thanks musclephone I thought we were friends.
