Ah, ok. Didn't know that.

Is selling fake gear done?

As it's against the law nowadays, I guess so.
-
some companies always wanted to piss off blechman so now they sponsor them for fun

Is it really? under what pretense? that it's not what it's described as being !?!?
-
Palumbo has a nutrition line that he seems to be doing fine on. He pumped the shit out of it in MD before Bleckman kicked him out.

that little detail never stopped Palumbo, did it?
-

Pimps ;D
-
They are being paid to help the real pros with their "reach-arounds" -- that way, maybe one day they will have the flexibility to wipe.
-
Palumbo is probably still helping people with their diets
Romano is writing for MMI or Ironman now . . .
-
a friend of mine pays Palumbo $500 a year to watch her diet for her. she's not the only one in Calgary that hire's him, so around the world he may have a few dozen people paying him that fee or more

I'd imagine there are quite a few. Despite all the hazing the guy does know his stuff.

i don't get it as well.
If i want to sell plant oil in nice little vials, it cannot be against the law. If some idiot actually injects it, it's not my fault, no?

That's what I'm thinking...as long as what you're selling is not ilegal (ie. sesame oil) what would the actual crime be? unless the original manufacturer got involved but that would just result in a cease and desist letter, and there are far too many compounding labs making legit steroids for anyone to really care.

I remember a few years back someone on getbig made a thread about that he sold Vitamine B tabs in old British Dragon Dianabol packages to some youngsters in his gym.
He bought the Dianabol, used it himself, filled the empty thing up with Vitamine B tabs and sold them even higher. People got spots from the high Vitamine B and came back to buy more. ;D ;D
Something like that.
-
Palumbo is in fairly high demand for contest prep, so that's probably a pretty nice earner for him. I'm not sure of everything he does for an income, but he had a pretty nice S class Merc, so it seems he probably does ok.....
-
rxmuscle website and radio has ads, he is the co owner of species nutrition, guides lots of competitors, palumbo would have made some nice $$$ when he was working with MD
basically he is a bit of hustler... thats the Jewish in him ;D
-
The guy has a massive head and big feet. Growth hormone emperor

did you hear the news?
Alexander the Great has died. ::) ::)
-
Palumbo and Romano work the Mirage Hotel as a team.
-
Palumbo owns Species Nutrition and has people paying him for drug guidance.
Romano writes articles for another magazine.
They both make money from advertisements on their website.
Livin the dream :D

So that Blechman schmoe kicked them out becuase they refused to suck his dick?
-
Dave is doing very well with www.speciesnutrition.com, great products. I suspect he brings in big scratch as a trainer/diet guru. No John is an another story . . . paid to write articles, is a Species rep and must have something going on the side.

I think he prepped 300 athletes last years.. at the LEAST 500$ a pop sometimes more for contest and offseason prep
So that's 150.000$
then all the sponsors to the site etc etc :)
dude probably makes a decent living.

Exactly. Plus the supplement line. The dude is doing pretty good. Train wreck physique but knows his stuff.

True.
SPECIES is doing well, especially in Chicagoland. Privately owned health food stores are now carrying their products and pretty much every competitor I know use at least SOMETHING from the SPECIES line.
Not to mention how many clients does Dave have? Probably over a hundred. He's doing quite well, trust me.
I'm not sure about John. I don't know what kind of hustle he has going on.
It's funny. Blechman is STILL obsessed with Dave. Backstage at the USA's Blechman pointed to some bodybuilder supposedly Dave was working with and goes...
(in a lispy high gay man's voice) ...OMG! You see that guy over there? He's fat and out of shape. That's what happens when you use Dave's diet. "
He was also trying to blackball FLEX and other companies by trying to match and pay MORE for their photoshoot obligations.
" (in a lispy high gay man's voice) You look so amazing do you have any photoshoots lined up? Oh, you do? How much are they paying you? $300? I'll give ou $500 to shoot with us. "
Nice buisness practices. Phag!

You'd be surprised how much those little supplement companies make.
-

Dave's diet clients *do* usually look like shit, but it's not because they're fat and out of shape. Usually it's overdieted, stringy and flat.

Why do these guys need drug/diet gurus, what happend to the 90s where people did their own shit and experimented.

QFT x 100000000. I've been saying that for years.

dave makes six figures a year.
romano on the other hand, i dont know. does he have any talents?

yes bragging on a radio show about beating the shit out of people with a metal bar for removing his wrongly parked vehicle
-
I love it when people say "Six figures"! What the hell does that mean?
$100,000.00 or $999,999.00?
They are both six figures!
-
Romano has taken the biggest hit in terms of money. I would imagine that he is paid by Palumbo.. His monthly cheques for magazine writing can pay off some expenses..but it's nothing great.
Fired for legitimate reasons in the middle of a recession will always be a slap in the face.
He had to move into a much smaller apartment.
Credit crunch.. even more expenses looming as his kid needs braces and college is closer than he thinks.
Romano seems to have hoorrible luck with women who seeme to steamroll his wallet every time.
It will end horribly for him

No way Blechman is gay!!? Could this pillar of the community really be a wile homosexual?

whats wrong with that?
-
It forces the person to flake out with the entity who asked them first. Plus, Blechman should have the ethics to say... "Oh, FLEX has great photographers. Here's my card. Call me if you would like an opp. to shoot with us. Good luck to you."
To him it's more of a game to get the latest "hottest thing" before the competition. He's such a slimy buisnessman but then again I'm the one who clips coupons and waits for sales to buy groceries an he's the one ballin' living like a phat rat so what the fuck do I know?
I just like busting his balls.

Palumbo's contest prep business alone prob makes about 100K a year easy. The supplement line in my opinion is overpriced but its all in the major distributions so he's making very good money off that. Then his RX muscle website has paid advertisers and his affiliate links for the forum is also bringing him some change. Palumbo does fine as far as money goes.
Romano.... ::) well he works for Palumbo so he gets a paycheck I guess however his main source of money is from 7 houses that are on foreclosure. He rents them all out and keeps all the money because he's not paying the bank. He was bragging about that to me a while back.

How do you prep 300 athletes in a year? I don't see how he can do much else than send a generic diet and answer a few email every few weeks with a line or two, "increase cardio", "eat less", "increase the thyroid". I wouldn't call that a trainer. Does he do much more than this for clients? I don't see where he'd get the time to really involve himself.
I know one pro simply got the same generic diet as he's posted on the forums. 200lbs or 300lbs - same diet. He and his other coach felt they had to increase the food considerably.

Some poeple get the normal "generic" diet, and some people buy the contest prep etc that costs alot more..

that's ridiculous
dude weights 280 + lbs and he did the same diet I did ?

Poor guy...
I agree with the logic behind Dave's dieting, but I don't agree with a base diet
-
i dont know much about their personal finances................ but one thing is for sure.........palumbo is one ugly fucking mutant acgromegaly victim..............and those big black bobo high tops dont help much. :) :)
