Nice for Shawn Ray - just talked to him yesterday on some various topics.
===================================
Digital Muscle Names Shawn Ray Editor-In-Chief
Bodybuilding legend turned media standout Shawn Ray has been named Editor-In-Chief of Digital Muscle. Fresh off its exclusive webcast of the 2019 Olympia, DigitalMuscle.com has grown in recent years into a destination for those who follow the world of fitness, bodybuilding, nutrition, training, supplementation and an array of fit minded categories.
“Since I retired from competition, I’ve stayed close to the fitness scene by working with many of the top media outlets” Ray explains. “This new role with Digital Muscle is an opportunity to work with an amazing team and help lead a vision for a new media powerhouse.”
In the fall of 2018, Wings of Strength acquired Digital Muscle from founder Dan Solomon who launched the site in 2015. Under its new ownership, Digital Muscle has been laying the groundwork on a plan to provide new opportunities and more visibility for athletes and followers of the fit lifestyle. With some of the most respected content contributors in the industry, Digital Muscle is well positioned to continue building momentum.
Wings of Strength CEO and Digital Muscle Publisher Jake Wood adds, “Shawn Ray is a great addition to our team. He provides leadership and many valuable components that will contribute to our short and long term goals for Digital Muscle.”

that's because they have no real skills except for picking up weights and putting them down

Shawn is smart and can articulate what is going on well. What other bodybuilder would be better?
-
Great choice.
-
Vince goodrum would have been the far superior choice

Absolutely, "the great one" was passed over on this, what a bummer.

True, forgot about him. Goodrum and Basile together in a broadcast! That would be entertaining.
-
Good move by Jake. Shawn knows his shit, doesn't jerk people off and is excellent on camera.
-
Jake doing lots (w/ his money) to help bodybuilding, Mrs. Olympia, Wings of Strength, now this.
Good for him, more to come from him I'm sure... Good for Shawn.

Had lunch with some good people between prejudging and finals of the IFBB Titans, including Shawn Ray. We talked about quite a few present and upcoming stories and events.

Digital Muscle, eh? I confess I had hoped Shawn would land a gig someplace that didn't get its name out of a time machine just arrived from 1992 but it'll have to do.
Ron, you're looking svelter. Good on ya. You were kinda pushing maximum density there for awhile.

Yes, was 268 pounds. Now down to 248 pounds. So still not great, but 20 pounds is 20 pounds. Trying for more, but those damn restaurants and their good foods during the Holidays

I always liked his commentary at contests.
Nope I don’t his bias towards certain competitors comes out so blatantly
His commentary of this years 212 Mr Olympia was ridiculous he did his
Utmost to Talk up Calrida & Lunsford- When a Blind man could see there
Was only ever One Man Going To Win - And Shawn hardly mentioned him. ::)

Ha - Well you’re Honest about it.

Mr. Gibraltar never did anything in this game, yet he is dissing 'Sugar' Shawn Ray, a Top 3 Olympia contender multiple times...
Shawn might be a has been, but Old girl is a Never will be' anything on this BB game..
Sad, sad human being..

Shawn probably is more honest about who is in shape and conditioned on that stage than others. Shawn has not issue talking about someone coming in out of shape.
Ha - Well you’re Honest about it.
I am a fan, a photographer, lazy to work out, and work 14-15 hours a days sometimes. I respect people who are in shape, it isnt easy day in and out.

Opinion Vary.
Watching & listening to you
And Thankfully You weren’t a judge if you’re judging is anything like your commentary was.
Kamal was I Clear Winner from the Moment he step out on stage.
Now I’ll give you that Clarida should’ve been 2nd
IIRC you’d got him as 1st / 2nd.
Carry On.

Being 4 foot nothing Clarida should be an automatic out of the top 10

20 pounds is a lot. Keep it going, Chief! I'm sure the restaurants are tempting but supermarkets have ready to eat stuff too, and it'll save you money. When I'm away from home I stock up on tinned fish and chicken to keep on hand. More convenient than having to go out for food too. You could even set up a 12v fridge and microwave for the car.
A few bodyweight squats and pushups and you're good to go. No need for some gut busting daily regimen in a gym. I imagine you do lots of walking already at the shows.

I stated that Digital Muscle gets about 800 unique visitors daily and that Shawn's compensation is 2x 1-lb tubs of whey protein powder from the company [1x Choc flavour, 1x Choc Crunch flavour].
Why did my post get deleted?
A man's gotta eat! Yes, Digital Muscle is a small-time bodybuilding blog that only gets 800 visitors daily, and yes, Shawn is only getting compensated by way of protein powder supplements that retail for $38 in total [$19 per tub on sale at Wal-Mart, with a total production cost of $9 per tub, making Shawn's compensation costing Digital Muscle only $18 USD per month], but why was my post deleted?
I am not disparaging Shawn here. The man is one of the best bodybuilders of all time, and is still making more money than 99% of the bodybuilding industry. It's simply a fact that there is not a lot of money in bodybuilding.
I'm not bashing Shawn here...merely stating that bodybuilding is not a rich sport, and bodybuilders do not get paid much money.
I, for one, am proud that Shawn is earning 2-lb of protein powder monthly for his new position as Editor-In-Chief at Digital Muscle.
YouTube basically stopped paying completely for a while there! It's starting to pay again though. :)

Did you compliment Ron for losing 20lbs? Well then.

What's sad is your constant trolling of him. Very bizarre. Takes up much space in your fat-Shizzo head I guess, nothing else in there but empty space.
You should stop being so hateful/trollful and move along, join a gym, get in shape, may help your outlook on life. (Sucking cocks and faking your death got you nowhere).
