Title: Bob Chic, what direction is bodybuilding.com going?
Post by: bebop396 on July 22, 2008, 09:34:14 AM
Seems they are pulling the same thing MD did back in the day when they went the more natural physiqe route...Before all of this I would check in with BB.com all the time to hear the latest...Now i find myself barely checking it all cuz there is nothing that interests me....

What is your place in this new format they put forth?

We are not changing our direction at all.  Our mission is to help our visitors reach their health, fitness and appearance goals through information, motivation, and supplementation.  This might be through a pro bodybuilding contest, how your favorite celebrity got into shape, seeing how your favorite fighter did it or just a normal joe doing a transformation.

A girl walks into a supermarket and buys the following:

1 bar of soap
1 toothbrush
1 tube of toothpaste
1 loaf of bread
1 pint of milk
1 apple
1 banana
1 orange
1 plum
1 peach
1 grapefruit
1 tomato
1 lettuce
1 cabbage
1 baking potato
1 kraft single
1 samosa
1 vegetable pakora
1 muesli bar
1 pie
1 single serving of cereal
1 single frozen dinner
1 single frozen pizza

The checkout guy looks at her, smiles, and says, "Single, huh?"

The girl smiles sheepishly and replies, "How'd you guess?"

He says, "Because you're fuckin' ugly."

It's a natural direction for them (no pun intended)...  naturals are the ones who buy supplements, not AAS users.

Good point...

Well i would be stoked if you brought back Bobs coverage of Venice, his coverage of training of amateurs and pros leading up to the contest and the like...I know MD does this but when both BB.com and Md.com did this it gave different perspectives and more entertaining choices...If the videos were not successful then i see why you did away with it, but i was a fan thats for sure....

We are doing a live webcast of the Europa and the Olympia.

We are also doing a  Road to the Olympia that will go online next Monday with Jay Cutler.

The 'on the road' segements do not even come close in comparison in regards to visitors to a celeb interview, fight preview or even a Layne Norton video show...

Here's a preview of Jay doing some bike work on the road to work on his Olympia conditioning.  His coloring is a little off.  (Nothing a little spraytan can't fix.)
