I used to chop it up with melvin quite a bit before he moved from my area a few months ago I guess he's just getting his life together after going through so personal things. If he is done then maybe his brother will try and fill his spot. His bro is a strong dude and a somewhat taller version of melvin but I don't know how far he wants to take BB outside of the few shows he's done.

Melvin Goodrum has not retired as of yet, but I do know that his earnings from sales by way of his website (Caliber Fitness) were enough to allow him early retirement.

You mean the divorcing of his Peruvian wife and getting with that restauranteer?
Melvin had the goods to be a world beater, taking out Dex, Vic, Wolf, and even Phil, Kai and Jay. But he didn't want to do what was necessary to come in condition. He had a better shape than all those mentioned, as he was a Flex Wheeler clone...

Sad, he'll be just another footnote, like Brian Buchanan, who had the same physique.

His BDB was insane due to his taper...
I broke it down like this: he needs a bigger chest, delts, more conditioning in lower back, glutes and hams (the same problem areas for Flex), his quads looked good, but many times lacked quad sweep, and he needed to work calves.

yeah Yvette, she was cool I still see her around here now and then. what u say is funny cause if u seen how he trained you be like wtf!?!? it was kinda half assed but yet he would look great then I see his bro busting his ass lifting the whole gym and he got size but no where near the quality mel has. top it off u won't believe how many times I've seen donuts and pastries in his mouth. just goes to show the wonders of gear.

I had Melvin's first video, which chronicled his quest for a Pro Carx at the 99 USA's, he looked good, and worked hard...he looked his best.

I had criticized him on here, and he came on here and responded. I asked how his kidney's were he said fine, he said that he had everything on lock...At 5'8 he is the same height as Jay, yet het cannot get as big as Jay without sacrificing cuts and his shape...

What you just said about his training and the sweets, others have stated---sadly, his time has probably passed, and he relied on his genetics, while he has better shape than Phil, he will never beat him.
I was a Melvin fan, and thought he could replace Flex---take off where Flex left off, but didn't have that fire from the getgo.

He also supposedly fuked Jenny Jones(the talk show host from years ago) Rumor was that Jenny always liked to have muscle men/women around. Rumor was she actually had a "do not disturb" sign for her back stage dressing room. Melvin was on the show more than once ;)

She liked him being jacked but once he (or any man) told her that he does nails then it was basically over.... unless you own a saloon or two, no woman is going to be on national TV and give a manicurist a shot hahhaha

So is he back with the Peruvian chick, or did he marry the restaurant owner? If the former, good for him, if the latter, he is probably living off of her...

I remember this clip years ago. I'm almost positive that in the real clip, the personal trainer creeped up to his door when she thought the camera's were gone. It showed a door open and she went in. Pretty sure Melvin sells his ass though :-\

This.. I remember when he got married the first time and Ron put pics up Mel and his wife, Melvin looked literally like a little boy..Like he never lifted at all ever..Hard to believe this guy was 278? at his heaviest working with Chad and saw him weigh in at 243 a week out of the olympia on a BFTO.. Steroids..it's a helluva drug..

Saw him a lot as he trained in same gym I did many years ago. Im not a bodybuilding expert but honestly in a sweater you wouldn't even know the guy worked out. I remember pointing him out to a friend and my friend was like "huh, that's a top 10 bodybuilder?!" Maybe he was off season or cycling off...I don't know...but he looked like an average guy in clothes.

Post by: littleguns on October 14, 2011, 02:32:59 AM
I listened an episode of the Melvin and DJ show, he was making himself sound very broke, pleading for a sponsor and he was going for his EMT certificate/license or whatever it is.

Would be nice if Pro's actually made an announcement like DJ did at the O that they are hanging it up...

That's Mel's own fault. He could easily be a top 5 finisher in the Mr. O or a AC winner...for someone who had SR, John Brown, and VT in his corner he's made a lot of mistakes in his profession and personal life. A sponsor is not gonna pick up a bber who pop locks, but comes out of shape..they want a winner. And he is in his late 30s, he's had his run.
So, he's done the pedicure thing, went to seminary school, now is possibly EMT certified, and is broke? Well, maybe he can live off that restauranteur, if he is still with her.
