Edit:  The mention is in the opening of the show.

Hope the losses weren't too bad.  Losing a business is never fun.   :-\  Something tells me Phil walked away the least scathed, but that's just an assumption.

He did not get distribution from bodybuilding.com so that already was a nail in the coffin bc that's who would buy his stuff. He should've done like Jay and hooked up with an established brand and lent his name, image, and such to the product. He should have also not been cursing out what few fans he has online

I want to know how he afforded that big ass stage at the Olympia if it was a losing venture. I told my friends I don't blame Kai for being pissed off about that!

Manufacturing, product labels and cartons, office staff, shipping, advertising, retail stores profit levels.

It's all the same shit I don't know what goes on but does GNC have their own brand? Doing that cuts a lot of stuff out for the same stuff.

No Netjerking needed.  You simply have to analyze and see who is selling it.  Nobody was selling "Gifted Nutrition" because they simply did not like Phil Heath.  Being Mr Olympia doesn't mean shit if you're an arrogant prick.  Same thing happenned with Dexter Jackson. 

Dynamik Muscle is selling modestly well but Aaron Singerman is now taking the reins on it so its going to really move.  The key is to get product buys outside the United States because people are now wiser as to how things work.

Um distribution doesn't rely on whether people like you or not. It has to do with whether you can move product or not. Now unless you mean his business reelationships because bodybuilding.com not selling it was the nail in the coffin.  That's the audience who knows who me Olympia is and would buy his stuff. Now I do agree that Overseas is where people make money these days because they aren't as up to date as people in the states

Supplements are a terrible idea these days unless you've got a decent product or something new and innovative. Too many supplement companies.

How is his.Gifted clothing line going? Remember those $250 pair of shoes he was peddling? I can't figure out who his business advisors are.

Distribution makes a huge difference as well as cost of the product.  The larger the check you could cut for product, the better.  The big money of course is in legal steroids.  You cut a check to China for 100k and you can get about 50 pounds of the latest prohormones which you can turn into almost a cool million in profits very easily after manufacturing and label cost.  Honestly the companies that make the most money are the ones that have in house production.  Very costly but worth it in the long run if you're serious about making money.

What an absolute joke.

All these pros/wanna-bes "launching" (oh brother  ::) ) their own "line" of supplements. "Signature Series".

They hire a graphic artist to design some sharp and cutting label, take some pics at a lab wearing a lab coat and source out who's selling the raw ingredients cheapest (a.k.a. the company everyone else is using). "Formulate" their own balance of fart powders and ... celebrate with some GH and insulin injections.

The industry is founded on lies, hyperbole and thievery.

The depths to which some will go to make a buck is pathetic.

Fuck Heath. In all ways, the worst Mr. O ever.

I doubt he had a high cost product.  These guys think that this will be quick money.  They slap their names and labels on some cheap ass product that's probably spiked with amino acids and let the fools have at it.  People these days aren't as naive as before to believe the Muscletech type transformations they did back in the day.  95% of people know that Phil didn't get to be Mr Olympia by taking Gifted Nutrition Protein powder and Amino Acids!

The market is too saturated right now and with horrible products to make much money and it doesn't matter if you're  Mr. Olympia or not. I knew the thing would fail when I saw it was not being distributed by bodybuilding.com How are you NOT going to have bodybuilding.com distribute your product when the people on that site actually know who Mr.Olympia is?  That's your target market.

He should have just taken free money from an established line and had a Gifted series.

Chuckle....Phil didn't have to do shit.  All the supplement industry is now is advertising and marketing.  That's it.  You just need to cut a check for product and labels and there's plenty of people you can do that which.  You can even do it from your own home.  That's what I did many years ago.  I'd cap up some prohormones in a cheap Cap M Quick device and sell them on Ebay in nothing more than a sealed bag and a cheap black and white label (Postal Label).  The most money was made at the end of the prohormone law when China was practically giving away that Methyl-D shit.  Really toxic shit but it worked.


Phil simply had too many hands in his pockets and didn't understand that the selling point was himself.

Very true on this.  Pay some Instagram models, get a booth at some expos and hire a good social media staff to troll the internet.  Doesn't matter what you're selling - people will buy.

Quality supps are just not as popular these days.  The most-hyped products are what i see on the shelves.  No different than the food industry.  If you want good, quality stuff, you're going to have to do some research and/or pay a bit more

Chuckle....Phil didn't have to do shit.  All the supplement industry is now is advertising and marketing.  That's it.

50%  of  almost ANY industry is marketing/advertising. That's just as time consuming as any other aspect of business. The difference between a successful supplement company and a failure will have more to do with the quality of the two companies' marketing than the actual products they sell.

Oh Melvin Goodrum, you're lying yet again. I don't use supplements, so asking a fat loser like you for any would be like a vegetarian asking Gandhi for a T-Bone steak.

You don't like the fact that someone calls you on all of your lies & that's why you're too scared to answer me. You run & hide with: More to come. Stay tuned. I've been asked to stand down etc etc etc..

I mean, how can you possibly answer when you've been caught & backed into a corner? Especially when you have the IQ of a piece of govt issued welfare cheese.

None...I'm not competing anymore and I'm not even working in the fitness or supplement industry other than my already established websites.  I've sold less than 5000 bucks in supplements this year.....majority of it being Advocare offline.  Most of my sales are now from selling medical equipment and recreational goods like spas and saunas.  I'm about to turn Anabolic Mayhem into a supplement store/exercise equipment site like BB.com but that's only for traffic purposes.

The supplement industry right now is way too saturated and there's going to be a mass exodus of product lines.  In addition, a lot of people who run these companies are going to get indicted as well for selling prohormones and now DMAA.  Its just madness when you risk prison time just to make a buck.  Fuck that noise

Vincent you should start up a youtube channel with your inside knowledge of the fitness industry. if a bullshitter like blaha carved out a piece of the market for himself, you should have no problem.

getbig will be behind you. edit: no homo


I'm actually working on it right now.  The Youtube market is very hot and being a personality I've been told that I could do as well.

You never competed. You showed up fat & out of shape & stepped onto a BB stage. That's not competing. It's called delusional embarrassment.

When did you ever work in the fitness industry? You are a fat slob & never had a single PT client from your fake PT degree.
Your websites have no income & are just cookie cutter sites with zero net presence.

You failed at EVERYTHING & that's why you work at a Verizon call center for $10.54hr.

Those who can, DO. Those who can't, make excuses & work at a Verizon call center for $10.54hr.

Um distribution doesn't rely on whether people like you or not. It has to do with whether you can move product or not. Now unless you mean his business reelationships because bodybuilding.com not selling it was the nail in the coffin.  That's the audience who knows who me Olympia is and would buy his stuff. Now I do agree that Overseas is where people make money these days because they aren't as up to date as people in the states

Supplements are a terrible idea these days unless you've got a decent product or something new and innovative. Too many supplement companies.

How is his.Gifted clothing line going? Remember those $250 pair of shoes he was peddling? I can't figure out who his business advisors are.

There are way too many known brands on Amazon for him to compete there. His audience is on bodybuilding.com unless he wants to be exclusively overseas. Ronnie and Kai are both on bodybuilding.com

Yeah, he probably should have done the bodybuilding.com route. But, I think he had a connection at Amazon and decided to use that. Maybe, he should have started with bodybuilding.com first, or have done both?

If you've been failing at 100% of everything you do all your life, are morbidly obese, are the laughing stock of the internets, lived in a trailer with a cross eyes gargoyle, live below the poverty level & still brag about how successful you are, you pretty much have no grasp of reality.

What an absolute joke.

All these pros/wanna-bes "launching" (oh brother  ::) ) their own "line" of supplements. "Signature Series".

They hire a graphic artist to design some sharp and cutting label, take some pics at a lab wearing a lab coat and source out who's selling the raw ingredients cheapest (a.k.a. the company everyone else is using). "Formulate" their own balance of fart powders and ... celebrate with some GH and insulin injections.

The industry is founded on lies, hyperbole and thievery.

The depths to which some will go to make a buck is pathetic.

Fuck Heath. In all ways, the worst Mr. O ever.

Heath will likely go down with the most Sandows ever. Not easy being a pro bodybuilder, powerlifter, or  strongman as the general public doesn't care for the look. Health at least makes very good money. Your old friend Gardiner was paying him well for quite a while. Odd how Gardiner was smart enough to make the big bucks while Kennedy's leap into the supplement game was a flop. The industry is founded on lies, hyperbole and thievery. True. Would you be so bitter if you actually succeeded in the industry that paid your bills for so long?

I'm not bitter. I love weight training and the fundamental essence of building the body.

Ragging on tools like Heath is an outlet for my amusement as I am appalled with so much of what is "the industry".

While I was in it, I was successful as, as you say, I was paid well and received quite the insider education. This knowledge, and its chafing against my character, drove me away from it.

I have a wonderful life. Have all the money I need (and more) and I haven't bartered away my integrity and honour to do it.

I suppose to be a Paul Gardiner you can't have these character attributes to begin with. His great wealth is, as far as I'm concerned, stolen money.

In the deplorable history of such individuals, he's a con man. A liar. One of little ethic.

Oh, and don't even hint towards comparing Paul to Bob Kennedy. For all his faults (and we all have them), Robert was one hundred times the man Gardiner will ever be.

MuscleMag International is legend. Kennedy's generosity known far and wide.

MuscleTech is a footnote in the book of what helped ruin bodybuilding.

Good post. 

Greg Kovacs anyone??  Muscletech would not make it today.  Not when you have idiots on youtube giving out steroid advice.  People know those crappy protein powders aren't what make you big..Even the teenagers are hip to it now. a

Until people have been involved in it, then you really don't know how bad it is.  I remember as my one friend used to say:  "All of this and for NO money."  Football players take risks every time they step on the field but even their league minimum is somewhere around $250K or rather it was at one time.

From what I can see, the industry has only sunk lower into the depths because there is more money to be made than ever but none of it is going towards better production for shows or benefits for their professional pageant contestants.
