Title: MD Shakeup - Palumbo and Romano gone!!!
Post by: Billy Guns on February 02, 2009, 08:56:57 AM
Looking at MD the Radio show has been shutdown and Dave's Avatar is demoted to a user now? Steve has had a MELTDOWN it seems since he lost all the diet debates!!!! And now he takes away all the hard work dave and john have done since 2006.....

Why do you think Steve had a meltdown based off the diet debates?  I'm sure there's a bit more to it than that...

I like what Dave brings to the table from a knowledge standpoint, but John seemed pretty worthless.  Maybe with the recent economic meltdown, Steve is getting rid of some "dead wood."

How far up Steve's ass are the two of those guys right about now?  They are probably inspecting his colon..

Those guys will get whatever they deserve.

Billy, you aren't painting a very clear picture of what is going on over there - you are just stirring the pot amongst a group of people who don't really give a shit. 

It sound to me like you don't even really know what is going on...so bugger off.

he is one of the most brutal attention whores to hit the "sport".  everyone feeds his addiction by responding to his horrible threads, which are a form of masturbation for him... you can see how important it is to him as he almost always eventually brags about how many views/replies one of his shitty creations has.

Exactly; he knows how to get the WRONG kind of attention.  He also doesn't even know what's going on over at MD right now...hes just speculating and not really explaining anything.

Why do you think you seek attention like this Billy?  Have you really sat down and thought it through?  Are you trying to fill some sort of emptiness maybe?

These guys seem hostile but they WILL accept you if you level with them about what's really driving you.  Imagine that Billy.  Acceptance.  Being accepted for who you are.

It's been a tough road for you Billy Gunns.  All that hurt is gonna eat you up if you don't let it out.  Just speak from the heart man.

Your loyalty to your friends is admirable Billy, but no one is buying this brave facade that you put up.  You're hurting Billy.  We can all see it.

You should tell us about the source of your anger.  How you felt betrayed.  Do you find it more difficult to trust people after your experiences at MD?  I want you to be brave and find the courage to face these issues.

Perhaps from Shawn Ray but not Flex Wheeler.  While Shawn has proven experience from working with ESPN on actual TV, can Flex actually commit to doing a weekly show and do it well????


Like I said a while back.  It would not be too long before Blechman got rid of that Muscle Mob bullshit.  It made advertising the show as a gimmick and couldn't be taken seriously which is why it got crushed by PBW every time.  In addition, Romano is what I call a corporate shoe licker who did whatever he had to do to keep his job from baking cookies (early to mid 90's MD) to being a hardcore ex-felon who went out and "wacked" people for messing with the MD Mob (current)


Blechman isn't no John Gotti...he's a magazine editor and he's cleaning up that P.O.S forum and putting things back the way they should be and getting rid of that stupid Mob shit.

I'm sure Romano and Palumbo still have their jobs so they actually should be glad they can go back to getting serious.  However, Romano needs to get fired.  He's just a waste of space in MD and there are a lot of writers out there more talented than he is.  Get Layne Norton or Will Brink to take his place because Romano has never done anything in his life except being Blechman's personal lackey

Actually, I unfortunately have an update.  Dave told me that Steve fired both him and Romano.  While I have no love loss for Romano for the shit he's pulled for years, it is screwed up that Dave was fired as well as he actually contributed great content to the magazine.

I had assumed that they both would still have jobs but I was wrong.  Blechman is cleaning house apparantly and has wacked the entire Muscle Mob.

Post by: robins on February 02, 2009, 11:25:48 AM
I liked Dave a lot. You can say what you want about the guy (felon etc bla bla bla). But the guy had a great THEORETICAL and PRACTICAL (with great stats backing it up) knowledge about bodybuilding, bodybuilders, history,contestpromotors, shows, nutrition, drugs etc.

I liked the guy by just listening to the radioshow's. When you've listened you would acknowledge his experience and knowledge around bodybuilding and the work he put into it.

It's a shame i know.

When you think about it further. The last show (maybe also the fore last show) he made it very clear that promoting his supplement line (Species) wasn't "ok" anymore. So maybe Bleckman has put a stop to this reference.

Maybe Dave/Species/Dave's opinion/contest prep has become to big for MD. So Steve "had to pull the plug".

We don't know.

I think we DO know is that Steve is become very personal with his discussion's/disagree mans about o.a.  nutrition (low v.s. high carb) and so on....You just have to take a look at the MD forum and the high/lowcarb topics. The lowest of the lowest was the topic (opened by Bleckman) that stated that lowcarb dieets would kill people. I Mean come-on man!!!

What do you think about Bleckman than? The correlation about Dave and Species? The diversity of stance about the low/high carb issue? Species and so on?

These are very hard times economically and landing a job right now is not easy, especially with criminal backgrounds. We should help these two felons find employment, it's the right thing to do. Does anyone know anything they are qualified to do? They failed at running a magazine, so that's out. Do either of them have an education? That's going to be important to know, even though it doesn't really matter because they can't deal with money because of their records. Does anyone have any idea for these two?

Let's not act like they died or something.  They tried to shit all over getbig and the IFBB/AMI (that you love so much) every chance they got.  Especially that loserwank Romano.  Reality has a way of coming back and biting people in the ass once their delusions wear off.

Romano however......he's problably screwed a bit as he hasn't worked for anyone else other than MD for about 20 years.  However, he'll fair well as a personal trainer in NYC or writing for another magazine. 

P.S.  I still don't like that guy.

Thats pretty messed up, I don't like the MD forums at all, other then Palumbo's Q&A thread, but I have to admit I liked NoBull radio, I thought it was a pretty funny show, that guy Jimmy "the angry bull" was a funny dude. They'll probably start something on their own, it seems like they have a loyal following..

Flex seems capable of nothing more then making a post using that annoying head banging smiley. Seriously, maybe he does post actual decent posts and I have missed them, but he strikes me as quite inarticulate and not a good replacement for either Romano or Dave.

Flex is a truely terrible spokesperson for MD
His radio appearances are awful. He loves to try and sound intelligent when he isn't.
Boring as hell, Terrible message board posts.

Shawn is pretty cool in that he understands the need to tow the company line/bullshit, but is still witty and intelligent.

Likely,
Shawn is a shrewd business man.

Tbh, i can see why Steve has made this Decision.

Md has gradually increased in popularity, and are way ahead of Flex in the online Department. Steve wants to push alot more online content/videos of the pros, up to date research papers etc. If he does this, then MD could easily surpass Flex in Sales figures.
Romano and palumbo carry alot of baggage. Very Pro-Steroid, checkered pasts (Jail time). Steve is simply cleaning up the MD image and marching forward.

I see your point, especially with them bringing on Layne and Eric Broser.

However, yes showing my age here, I recall last time they went "All Natural" - was a disaster, and I assume was by sales figures as they switched back.

I think now, the "natural" and people dumb enough to not realize the pros are pumped full of buckets of drugs are all over at bb.com, they seem to have captured that online market, not sure if trying to lean that way online is too viable, their hardcore edge seemed to work well.

Layne got a big break by appearing a while back on their show, and because Dave's support ended up now with his own column.

Eric Broser (does the natural column) got his start by kissing Romano's ass.

I would love to see the FLEX vs MD mag sales.
Obviously MD kills Flex Online (the forums are a ghost town)

Dave was definately plugging his Species supplement line ALOT, both on the boards, and on NBR.
John Made a post a little while ago explaining he had "been advised by the boss (Steve) to let the MD forum members know that he was sponsered by Species, and paid to promote the supplement line"

Seems like Steve was a little annoyed at Dave using MD as a platform for his own business.

Flex is sold in many countries around the world... MD is North America only the last time I checked.

Title: Re: Palumbo and Romano gone from MD?
Post by: WillGrant on February 02, 2009, 04:55:45 PM

Perhaps from Shawn Ray but not Flex Wheeler.  While Shawn has proven experience from working with ESPN on actual TV, can Flex actually commit to doing a weekly show and do it well????


Like I said a while back.  It would not be too long before Blechman got rid of that Muscle Mob bullshit.  It made advertising the show as a gimmick and couldn't be taken seriously which is why it got crushed by PBW every time.  In addition, Romano is what I call a corporate shoe licker who did whatever he had to do to keep his job from baking cookies (early to mid 90's MD) to being a hardcore ex-felon who went out and "wacked" people for messing with the MD Mob (current)


Blechman isn't no John Gotti...he's a magazine editor and he's cleaning up that P.O.S forum and putting things back the way they should be and getting rid of that stupid Mob shit.

I'm sure Romano and Palumbo still have their jobs so they actually should be glad they can go back to getting serious.  However, Romano needs to get fired.  He's just a waste of space in MD and there are a lot of writers out there more talented than he is.  Get Layne Norton or Will Brink to take his place because Romano has never done anything in his life except being Blechman's personal lackey
blah blah blah no one is interested in your opinion Vince , go chuck one up vissy the sissy  ::)

Very true about Dave. He built the MD site from nothing to the best contest coverage and bb info/training site there is.  I can't see Shawn and Flex holding down a radio show and constantly being the boards. Steve has lost his f*ckin mind. If you're going to cut your costs don't cut the 2 most most important people you have. This is all about money and I predict more cuts in the near future especially from the bodybuilders. I think Dave and John put in over 20 years with MD between the two of them and they got f*cked in the ass and a pink slip in the end.

 If you derelicts ever believed anything I have ever said to be true listen to this one...

 Steve Blechman used to tell people at MD that his nikname was 'CroMagnon', in college because he had a 16'' neck.

 
 He wants the magazine more like FLEX now. Less roid talk, no luv for female bodybuilding and more fanboy stuff.

 Dave and Romano saw it differently.

 Dave and Romano will do just fine. SPECIES Nutrition is actually blowing up unlike your cell-phones at 2am on a Saturday night from some slut-whore figure bitch. Like mine does.

LET ME THROUGH SOME FUEL ON THE FIRE



To all members....

thanks for your kind words and support...i will post a couple of threads here regarding the Arnold and Species' booth and activities if you guys approve and support there will be more...I would also guest on  radio at any time on any topic....

to Ann....u r still invited I will email you shortly....one thing neither dave nor I have ever done is go back on a promise...

there is no MD booth at the Arnold...Steve pulled his sponsorship well after the deadline and cancelled all his booths...That started a major scramble...

Species will represent with three booths and all are welcome to visit. There will be heavy, heavy IFBB female representation.

I hear the ladies' outfits are smoking...lol



I will be at the Species Booth :)  Not in a smoking outfit though, they want to cover my off-season booty.  Block don't forget you can always order through me and I can hook it up...

If you derelicts ever believed anything I have ever said to be true listen to this one...

 Steve Blechman used to tell people at MD that his nikname was 'CroMagnon', in college because he had a 16'' neck.

 
 He wants the magazine more like FLEX now. Less roid talk, no luv for female bodybuilding and more fanboy stuff.

 Dave and Romano saw it differently.

 Dave and Romano will do just fine. SPECIES Nutrition is actually blowing up unlike your cell-phones at 2am on a Saturday night from some slut-whore figure bitch. Like mine does.



 TBH.

Species Nutrition - while I wish Dave/John/Colette the best is in the unique position to grow a fan base AND teh attaention of teh FTC and FDA - so, i hope that their products are GMP compliant and all in-line - because once FTC, FDA or any AG decides they have an interest in a company...there is a big obstacle to growth.

Right now Species has no real distribution, but energetic people behind it, so one never knows...

No I left Pride Nutrition this year.  It was a hard decision as I really like the owners or Pride and their products are great but I felt that being with Species held better opportunities (plus their products were in line with Pride's quality) for me so I spoke with Dave and now I do some outside sales for them.

However, yes showing my age here, I recall last time they went "All Natural" - was a disaster, and I assume was by sales figures as they switched back.

Hell, even I'm getting the timeline all jumbled up now myself. 

Was Steve B a part of the last 'all natural' upheaval at MD?  I do remember what an epic fail that was.  Doing a complete 180 and going (back to) hardcore is what saved the magazine.

Funny that you mention supplement companies and FDA...here is another thought could the ALR mess have been the last straw?

I'm wondering if the ALR mess could have been the last straw. I mean ALR is John's buddy and he hasn't ever minced words about that. The mag pretty much gave ALR free ad space in the interview and then the "banned" substance issue in the supps popped up. At some point a business owner needs to look at what they are representing and maybe Steve felt he need to break away to get things cleaned up a little.

I'm not saying ALR was right or wrong. I'm not saying Steve is right or wrong. But when I read the Feb. 2009 issue and saw the huge amount of space ALR was given. It set off some warning signals in my mind.

I'm not surprised they were let go.  The show became a real trainwreck after they added the 2nd hour.  They were ripping gay Steve pretty bad in the last few months.

The show definitely had some interesting moments but that whole bodybuilding jeopardy, the producer retard, the retarded neighborhood clowns, that Mr. G idiot, selling their own product line of garbage, Romano's seemingly drug-induced appearances, the whole Romano dating adventures, one could go on & on about how this went south and took those two guys with it.

 In light of recent circumstances, I feel it is my responsibility to clear the air and explain one of the many reasons why both Dave Palumbo and John Romano were terminated.

Dave was hired two years ago to be Editor-in-Chief of the Muscular Development website. During the first year, he was instrumental in helping to grow it. During this past year, Dave’s interests were focused increasingly on his side businesses of training athletes and launching his supplement line. John was hired by Dave as a paid employee to endorse and promote this supplement line. Because of this, John’s position as Senior Editor was compromised. Together they were using MD and the website as a vehicle to further their own interests, and as a result, less time was being spent on increasing the website’s potential and taking it to the next level. During their employment, Dave and John’s contributions were very much appreciated, and they were well compensated.

Editor-in-Chief and Senior Editor are full-time positions and we require those who hold these titles to be willing to give their total focus. This was not the case. Dave and John have not worked onsite in the MD offices for over one year, which made working as a team extremely difficult. No one person is bigger than the team as a whole, and anyone who thinks Dave or John built MD is sadly mistaken. We have always had the best team of writers, athletes and employees and will continue on that path. When one door closes, another one opens and usually for the better.

I love bodybuilding and have always given MD 100 percent and have only had the best interest of the readers at heart. I ask anyone to dispute the fact that I have always been extremely loyal and generous to anyone who has worked for MD.

We are very excited about having Robbie Durand as the new Editor-in-Chief. He brings passion and incredible scientific knowledge to the site and will do whatever is necessary to meet the same high standards of excellence as Muscular Development magazine. Robbie wants very much to work with everyone in making this a team success. I hope you will welcome him aboard.

In closing, I want to reassure each of you that we will never compromise our mission and will always look to enlighten and inspire as well as search for new ways to continue to make MD the best bodybuilding magazine and website on the planet!

hahaha, that's great


Dave Palumbo (born David Christopher Palumbo February 17, 1968 in Manhattan, U.S.) is an American bodybuilder. He lived in Queens until he was 4 years old at which time his family moved to East Meadow, New York. He grew up in the suburban town of East Meadow in Nassau County. He competed in his first Bodybuilding competition in 1990, an NPC natural competition in New York City where he placed 6th place weighing in at 168lbs. He continues to compete with his highest placing being that of 2nd place in 2003 in the 'Super Heavyweight' class at the NPC USA competition in Las Vegas, Nevada. He weighed 262lbs.

Dave is currently the editor-in-chief of MuscularDevelopment.com and owner of SPECIES NUTRITION

Dave is no longer competing and is now focused living a healthy lifestyle, helping his clients and working for Muscular Development.

Dave is the creator of the Palumbo diet, which emphasizes High fats,low carbohydrates, high protein.

It is well known that Dave Palumbo and fellow bodybuilder Bob Cicherillo have an ongoing rivalry, and have had several heated confrontations in the past. Some say the reason for this is Bob Cicherillo being known as the public face of bodybuilding because of his congenial demeanor and Dave Palumbo disputes this title given to Bob, as he feels he himself is bodybuilding's public faced.

Dave was recently fired by a 120-lb "guy" with a high-pitched lispy voice.

It is well known that Dave Palumbo and fellow bodybuilder Bob Cicherillo have an ongoing rivalry, and have had several heated confrontations in the past. Some say the reason for this is Bob Cicherillo being known as the public face of bodybuilding because of his congenial demeanor and Dave Palumbo disputes this title given to Bob, as he feels he himself is bodybuilding's public faced.

Dave was recently fired by a 120-lb "guy" with a high-pitched lispy voice.

I'm trying not to laugh but that is hella funny ;D.

Did you see this part "Dave spent some time in prison for selling fake drugs to his friends and numerous others. Known as the ugliest bodybuilder in the world, Dave loves the fact that his body looks like shit. Dave also is seeing a She-Male named Gary Collette Nelson. They are known as "The Ugliest Couple in Bodybuilding"."

Someboby added that later.  The "fired by a 120 lb 'guy' wth a high-pitched lispy voice"  was mine.   Both have been deleted by the WikiNazis now.  >:(
