Title: Free Craig Richardson Training Session, Seminar & Lunch
Post by: HarleyBreite on August 16, 2015, 08:59:02 AM
Dear GetBiggers,
   My name is Harley Breite and I have had the privilege to be not only a friend, but the Training Partner of IFBB Professional Bodybuilder
Craig Richardson for the past continuous 17 years.
   In an effort to show both Craig's and my appreciate for all your support, I would like to invite any and all GetBiggers to a free
Training Session, Seminar and Lunch with Craig himself. 
   If there is any positive response and people really will attend, I will set the whole thing up at a gym in New Jersey.
   Craig will actually train and you guys will too. 
Craig will then, afterwards, hold a seminar and honestly answer all of your questions (yes,
that includes your questions about gear)

Dear GetBiggers,
   I apologize for accidentally sending the previous post out before it was completed.  I am still learning how to pilot around this place.
   Furthermore, after the seminar, Craig will join everyone for lunch.
   I am offering all this for free.   No gimmicks.  We aren't selling anything, not even a t-shirt.  Anyone who wants a signed photo can
have as many as you want for free.
   Again, this is just something I thought Craig could do to show his appreciation for all your support.  Just come with a positive attitude and I
promise you will have a good time and perhaps even pick up something you didn't know or at least, get an honest response to your questions.
   If you truly wish to take part, let me know and I will set the whole thing up.
Sincerely,
Harley

Hey SGT BARNES,
   Sorry this offer is of no interest or value to you.
   We all aren't as lucky to have your knowledge and physique.

Dear AJ,
   If the response was large enough, I was thinking about GetFit in Fairfield, New Jersey.  Craig and I mostly train there.
   It is clean, has plenty of lockers and has a big room for a seminar afterwards.
   If there is small response, then I would go a bit more hardcore and do it at perhaps Diamond Gym.
   And there are no "gimmicks."  We aren't selling any Craig Richardson products and we aren't even going to mention any particular
supplement companies, unless asked.
   And as far as "Who's Craig Richardson?", he's just a guy who lifts weights and diets a bit better than most of us and is willing to share
what he knows with those who might be interested.  That's all.  He's not the Messiah, just a bodybuilder which is what this site is, or in theory,
is all about.
  Hope this takes off.  And it's all for free, even the lunch is on me.
Harley

The menu where we eat lunch is either steak, grilled chicken or fish.  Your choice

Now, is anyone interested in an afternoon of training and talking bodybuilding in person or do we just do it behind computer screens?

very kind + gracious gesture by Harley + craig

Craig and Harley are a wealth of knowledge- just watch some of the BFO videos from 2004 onwards

A very generous and friendly offer.

Unfortunately, I'm, like, not anywhere close. Or even in the same country, for that matter.

Title: Re: Free Craig Richardson Training Session, Seminar & Lunch
Post by: HarleyBreite on August 17, 2015, 05:29:28 AM
Dear Schmoff,
   Before I can make the exact plans, I need to see if anyone is really interested in attending.
   I was thinking some time in mid-October here in New Jersey.
   Let's see what type of response we get and that will dictate the details.
   If it ends up being 1, 10 or 100 persons, I still intend to keep the offer open and make it happen.
   It was just an idea I had.  I know if the guys I read about when I was a kid offered such an event, I
would've begged my parents to take me.  It always motivated me along the way when I would meet a
pro bodybuilder and he took a moment to encourage me.  Some of the guys were really very nice (Jim Quinn,
Mike Quinn, Vince Taylor, etc.).  Others weren't so nice.  I never had the privilege to meet Paul Jean Guillaume and he is one of my
favorites.

We spoke several times at Diamond Gym...Love the one BFO video with you and Craig...when you spoke about Craig being a great father-family man, taking time to eat breakfast with his daughter the week-day of his contest...Did you guys do a lot of volume trainign for arms? Or was Craig genetically blessed with big arms?

Dear Big Ant,
  Did you mean that you and I "spoke several times at Diamond Gym" or you spoke to Craig?
  That is my favorite all time Craig story as he cared more about making his daughter breakfast than getting ready to leave that morning to compete
in The Night of Champions.
  Craig has relatively small triceps.  They have improved over time.
  We keep the sets the same.  12 sets for biceps and 12 sets for triceps.  If you are going to failure on each and every set, how many sets
can one honestly do?
  Hope to see you at the seminar.
