Found an old flash drive with a draft copy of an article I wrote on Getbig2. Enjoy
Day In The Life Of A Supplement Company Owner
0600 Hours - Wake up and tip toe out of your bedroom so you don't wake up your wife as you're still aching from the last double underhook facebuster she gave you last month. Walk into the bathroom and dump enough hair gel to paint an entire fence. Kiss the mirror and tell yourself that its good to be me
0630 Hours - Hop On your treadmill For an hour while texting, facebooking, twittering, instagraming, snapchatting, myspacing, and youtubing how great your company is and how rich you're getting. Add dollar sign emoticons to every post to let viewers know you're serious.
0730 - Turn on to your 486 SX computer while eating your breakfast of fried spam and ramen noodles. Curse at the 30 minute time it takes to load your pirated copy of Windows 95. Put a reminder in your phone to drop by the Goodwill next week to see if you can get a better one that also doesn't smell like stale urine. Put up your web browser and go immediately to Getbig2 Throw your glass onto the ground at the comments they are making about you. Wife wakes up and says what's all the fucking noise??? Respond quietly that one of the reptiles got loose and knocked it over. Wife yells back that you need to get to work and make some money as we're 3 months behind on the mortgage. Beg for mercy and promise that "The Deal" should go through today and we'll be fine. Rush out out of the house quickly and speed over to your facility/warehouse/auto repair shop.
0800 - Pull up to your parking spot with the customized sign. Tell the homeless person once again to quit sleeping there and shoo him away. Wonder to yourself how nice it would be to do nothing all day stress-free instead of doing nothing all day running a giant ponzi scheme. Facebook and Snapchat yourself standing next your your customized parking sign after you finish picking up all the garbage around it.
0830 - Walk into the office and greet your secretary. Ignore her pleas about not getting paid in 3 weeks and simply tell her that you have to "pay your dues" if you want to be successful in the bodybuilding and fitness industry.
0835 - 1100 : Spend the next 2 1/2 hours performing your social media tricks from spamming forums and blogs until your personal barber come in to give you a weekly haircut. Accept your barber's generous offer of getting a free moustache trim along with your haircut. Barber then produces a straight-edge blade and holds it under your neck and whispers in your ear that the next time you give me a bad check that it will be the closest shave you'll ever get in your life. Hastefully put out a wad of hundred dollar bills and tell him that it will never happen again while he moves that blade back and forth across your face. Breathe a sigh of relief when he leaves and run into the bathroom to change shorts as you've had a protein powder accident during the encounter.
1200-1400 : Perform your usual book cooking, moving money from one account to another to avoid overdrafts, filling out applications for new loans and credit cards, and pleading with various banks to refinance your mortgage for the 5th time.
1500 : Get your daily visit from your cousin Billy who is not exactly right in the head. Yell at him once again that he needs to sell supplements instead of giving them away even though they are nothing more wheat filler and xanthan gum. Order him into the broom closet against his wishes as he doesn't like playing the game of doctor. Tell yourself that your cousin benefits from getting regular prostate examinations.
1530: Zip your pants up and hastefully push your cousin out the door while your secretary nods her head in disgust at you "practicing medicine without a license" once again. Question your secretary for a report on how many orders came in today?? Secretary ask you're wanting the "supplement orders" or the "Minute Maid" order. Respond sarcastically with the god damn supplement orders you stupid bitch. Beads of sweat fall from your head when you hear the number 8. Demand the secretary order more Minute Maid so we can catch up on the bills. Ignore her pleas once again regarding her pay and tell her that I worked for the No.1 bodybuilding magazine in the world without pay for 7 years without pay and look where I ended up. Point to your 3rd and 6th place NPC National trophies to justify your success.
1700: Storm into the gym wearing your hood carrying your giant gym bag with your 2% Jug. Scan your card and attempt to enter however the desk clerk tells you that your gym membership was cancelled due to non-payment. Demand to speak to the manager. Wait 15 minutes on the couch until a police officer comes to the front door and waves you over. Drive away very slowly and carefully after being raped in the ear by the police officer about paying bills, trespassing, and banned from property.
1800: Pull out your Bowflex from the garage. Weep slowly while pulling the cords across your chest and back.
1900: Wife asks how was your day?? Tell her that "The Deal" didn't go though but it would tommorrow. Spit blood from your mouth as your wife punches you in face and scream like that Hooter's girl in Blockhead's story "Day In The Life Of A Bikini Computer" while your wife executes that finishing move "the double underhook facebuster" on you. Black out from the pain that dream about being on a sunny beach in.......oh never mind what's the fucking point anyway???
2100: Wake up from your temporary coma in the garage. Notice that the car is gone and assume wife has gone out. Painfully drag yourself into the kitchen to fix your evening meal of sardines and crackers. Think about turning on your almost ancient computer but then you simply decide to call it a day. Drag yourself painfully into the bathroom and apply bandages to every cut and bruise. Leave the restroom after glaring in the mirror at your now "Unprettier" facee.
2130: Crawl into bed and stare at the ceiling with the world on your shoulders. Crawl back out from your bed as your coma has made you forget to put your PJ's on. You definitely hate catching colds after all in Rhode Island right ;). Drift off to sleep hoping for a better tommorrow and being relieved that the federal government is too fucked up to have you prosecuted.

Simply turning a profit is not how ANY real business is considered a success. For example - a drop ship business that has $1000,000 gross sales and cost of goods/expenses of $85,000 - is not a success. Sure - it turned a profit but that’s horrible unless maybe it’s just an initial year and has exponential growth. Business MUST grow every year or it’s failing. After 19 years you should be earning very high 6 figure gross PROFIT (not just gross sales). If nobodies wanting to buy or invest in your 2 decade old business - it’s not been built properly.

Melvin Goodrum comes up with another business. This time an international one! Goodrum is one persistent bullshitter.
He implies he has warehouses all over the USA. Plus he implies he has been selling medical products since 2001. All lies, exaggerations and bullshit.

The whole key to success in the sup industry is having a decent amount of seed money for the massive hype and marketing campaign. Make millions and get out fast, either by selling the business to someone bigger or claim BK.

He makes a living in telemarketing or at least he did. All the businesses are side hustles that make little if any money.

There's nothing really mysterious about my business....its just evolved with time. So here's a brief history.
When I started the business in 2001, I was just doing in-home training and selling Vitamin Power supplements at the White Horse Flea Market. Originally at that time, the only equipment I sold was elastic bands and a home gym machine called the BodyRail. It was a very innovative and it gave a very brutal working which was its demise but you could mount it on the wall and it folding up taking a very nicely. At that time, ecommerce software was very expensive so I decided to get a product off Ebay called Online Store Creator for 29 bucks...it was a Malaysian product and quite glitchy....you couldn't use a period, comma, or semi colon or it would just crash but I liked it because it didn't require an SSL certificate which was also expensive.....instead it used a secure email script. Orders came in looking fucked up but enough to where I could process their credit card. Later on I opened an account with Olympia Sports and its currently the only company that I still sell products for.
In 2003, with Tom Princes help, I got an account with Europa Sports and started selling general supplements and then opened an account with Genesis Nutrition. Its also the time I started doing network marketing with Pre-Paid Legal.
2005: Started selling Kynoselen and other "Vet Products" along with gray market products.
2007: Stopped selling illegal products because my ex-husband didn't want me to. Same year and the following years was most profitable as I landed an agreement to sell the Turbobell 560 and 320 Adjustable Dumbells right at the time where adjustable dumbbells were the rage in addition to setting up an distribution agreement with YCY Health Centre in Canada...had to buy an initial 1200 dollars in goods but it was well worth it. It was the first year my sales exceeded 100k. Stopped training clients as I had moved to Sylva.
2008: Terminated from Pre-Paid Legal and moved to Advocare. Started building other ecommerce websites to sell other products...Caliber Grocery, Caliber Pool and Supply, GX Security, Conan Labs, because Google Merchant allowed listing products at no cost so I built a shitload of dropshipping sites at the time
2012: Started a newseltter site called Muscle World Order and eventually changed the name to Anabolic Mayhem. Also started creating niche sites with my start into the Affiliate Marketing business. The sites where auto-created and they were pretty shitty looking with crappy information. It worked this way: I took 200 dollars and bought 200 domain names from Godaddy because the ".info" domains were just 99 cents apiece at the time. So I had the sites like ....ForexBeast.info, SewingSoldier.info, BakingCookies.info, etc. I stuffed all of the websites into subdomains. I then loaded them with unblockable pop-up advertisements and added additional ads on the articles that paid a nickel or a dime for every click. I then loaded all of the domains onto a piece of software called Scrapebox which I ran on a server in Romania to ....well hit every Wordpress blog out there with comments in addition to creating thousands of backlinks. I may get a click or two on a website but when you have 200 websites ....well ;D The websites made money without me doing jack shit except to build it. Didn't last but about a year as Google changed the algorithm but I intend to do something similiar very soon.
2016. Shut down almost all of my websites due to Amazon which basically took out almost all of my distributors. Only ones I kept running was Budget Medical Supply, Caliber Gym Supply and Well Of Mimir which is where things are today.
2020: Rebuilding Well Of Mimir and restarting Caliber Fitness Solutions under the Woocommerce platform. The newer sites will combine affiliate marketing as a front page news site with adds along with selling products. Will be done by August. Started with Karatbars. Will also be building back some of the old websites like Caliber Grocery Supply since Amazon lost their advantage with shipping and are no longer under-cutting people. Leased an office in downtown Greenville to handle the new workload along with meeting clients....
And that's where we are at in life

LOL. What a mental case you are Melvin. A guy with nothing trying to make it big but totally failing yet never giving up. Whatever keeps you doing what you do? Why on earth keep doing the same old if nothing works for you? Getbig's Walter Mitty. Where is your studio, clinic, gym, store, etc., etc. etc. All hype and bullshit.

Really? Says the guy who's wife left him and took his gym and equipment and forced him to live in a warehouse while he clings to hopes of patenting some shitty, overcomplicated curl machine.

The Bicep Supination Machine (BSM) is stored at the Vatican Museums.
The BSM is housed behind 5 feet of bullet proof glass and censors to detect when someone gets within 6 feet of the BSM. During the day time, there are two armed guards with AK-47's. At night, the BSM gets transferred through a special portal in the floor, where it is housed within 10 feet of concrete and a 3 ton vault door. Only 2 people have the code to open the vault.

You no longer have a gym and you live alone in a warehouse of your stupid homemade exercise machines which are worthless. Your 1970 Mr Canada title is a fraud because you created the show and picked the judge. You couldn't pick the judges at the Mr Australia where you finished dead last
I'd rather be a certified asshole then to ever by you. So how do you feel being raped by a gay black dude for 15 years continuously?? Let me know after you get some Listermint

Sorry SF1900, I already gave it a name.
The "triceps extendernator" was a marvel of it's own. While not having near the number of moving parts as the biceps supinator, it is indeed the counterpart to the biceps supinator. The two machines are lost without each other. Much like pork and beans, when there is only one, it is average at best. However, put them together, and the results are astounding.
Another huge advantage of the triceps extendernator is the compact size. It only requires 200 sq/ft of space, when fully setup.

The real Melvin Goodrum is exposing himself yet again. I ask him to tell us about all those warehouses his company has across America. Don't exist.
Well, he is simply the middleman and the suppliers have warehouses. Does Melvin honestly think, after 20 years in business, that people believe and
trust him? He has no degrees of value and has yet to win a bodybuilding title. That makes him a hapless wannabe, not a champion or anyone of note in bodybuilding.
There is no reason for anyone to trust and respect him. None of his businesses have been successful. His forums failed. His radio show is no more. His YouTube show is going nowhere.
He used to boast that he is related to a champion professional bodybuilder. However, that pro forbids Melvin to mention his name and besides, the pro will deny being related.

You dont speak for me and anyone else. You have never met me, have access to my account records, receipts, or inventory of my business. You talk out of your ass
I also know I'm not a champion bodubuilder..
.the problem is that neither are you. You lost shows that you didnt pick the judges for
I also know where you and your wife lives....you live in a fucking warehouse...I confirmed it years ago...SAD
You talk about Keith and he means nothing to me because he"s dead. His body was stuffed into a Crematory and was roasted to gray ash and dumped out into the Pacific Ocean. I'll have the same arrangements as well and wont care less what anyone thinks about how I lived because I wont be around. You'll be meat for the worms eventually or powdered ash. Doesnt matter. Keith has been dead for a long time so stop talking as though you're still speaking to him on the phone or go to the pharmacy to get a script for your dementia
Vince Basile...you have nothing I want and the fact is that I'm the only person you have in your life. Your ex wife spreads her legs for another man and all you have is your shitty ass contraptions. Instead of building more tricep machines, why dont you get some wood and build a casket because that's where you're headed at this point whether you get there before me or not

Goodrum, you once claimed you had a high IQ. Somewhere around 130. I can't see any evidence of superior intelligence. What I see is an ordinary guy fumbling along repeating himself over and
over. I haven't been dateless in over 55 years. What about you? By the way, I don't mention your ex in my posts so it is disgusting that you are doing that to me. You really are a lowlife.

Vince GIRONDA invented V-bench for triceps development ;)
Gironda was a clever guy...nasty but smart. Gym was primitive but effective. Larry Scott was his most successful member. Larry gave a seminar at our gym in 1979. It was the best seminar a champion has given at our gym and that includes, Arnold, Franco, Sergio, Ray Mentzer and Lance Dreher.
Larry used the lying triceps extension that was very popular in the seventies. They had a primitive version of a machine at Nailon's Gym at Randwick. We all liked that machine but were limited by the amount of weight that could be used. When I started making gym equipment at a factory I had a go at building a lying triceps machine. I modified it and eventually got things right. You could adjust the height of the bench, the length of the user, and the width of space between the pads. I installed pads to prevent the elbows from going sideways during the movement. Also, on one machine you could change the height of the pulley. Larry figured the pulley should be about 5 feet off the floor. That is where I started. I think the ideal spot is a bit higher. Well, what happens is that there isn't much resistance when you complete the extension. So having the pulley a bit higher made it harder to finish the movement which helps make it more effective.
One of the problems with the lying triceps extension is that your palms are pronated and this eventually puts too much stress on some of the forearm muscles that end up sore. The solution is to do the movement with hands facing each other. You can do that on the modified Nautilus Triceps Machine. You do the movement like a Karate chop and remove the pronated position. I use this machine all the
time for triceps. Just this one machine and my triceps have never been bigger.

To Melvin Goodrum.
Two decades ago you were making comments on Getbig and elsewhere and eventually people wanted to know what this 'expert' looked like.
When you posted your photo people laughed. You lost respect then and I doubt you ever regained it. You desperately tried so many things
to both make a living and impress other people. You boasted about how well your businesses were doing. Eventually everyone knew it was
all hype and very little profit. You kept posting about how you were going to open a studio, clinic or fitness center. You never came close to
opening anything. We remember the time you found a location in Sylva that was cheap to rent but needed cleaning up. Why on earth would
you post that story when you had no intention or money to open any studio? Well, therein lies the answer. You loved the attention and felt
that some people would be impressed with your ambition and motivation. Truth is there is no substance. You have been struggling to pay
bills and have some good things in life. Finally you had a home and a car. A flat screen TV even! And a job.
We remember how you said you would be getting some $200,000 in cash and goods when you turned 40. We wonder if that even happened.
Some people believed you but guys like me and Keith were sceptical. So we called you out on your bullshit. What did you do? You and Keith
had an online nasty feud that went on until he died. He was over the top nasty to you and your partner at the time. Since I sided with Keith
you had to pay me back for all the calling out over the years which was substantial. Your idea of getting even is to defame me. So you
implied I was gay and into young lads. All lies but that didn't bother you. You accused me of attacking your partner. Nope, that was Keith.
You never came close to winning an open bodybuilding contest. That never stopped you from diminishing the titles that I won. You criticised
my patented arm machine because at the time it was purple. I mean, have you ever invented anything let alone some new gym equipment?
We know the answer to that. You never achieved things I did so I guess you have a bad case of sour grapes. You have no shame, either,
as evidenced by your posting here how you got a PhD degree in some obscure subject. Turns out you donated to a church and got the "degree"
that way.
I think it is about time you accepted that you are a limited dude who is battling to make ends meet and buy the occasional luxury item. That
is fine. No need for you to keep coming up with schemes to make a fortune when in reality they are all pipe dreams.
The photo below is the first photo Melvin posted on Getbig to show that he knew what he was talking about.

The real Melvin Goodrum is exposing himself yet again. I ask him to tell us about all those warehouses his company has across America. Don't exist.
Well, he is simply the middleman and the suppliers have warehouses. Does Melvin honestly think, after 20 years in business, that people believe and
trust him? He has no degrees of value and has yet to win a bodybuilding title. That makes him a hapless wannabe, not a champion or anyone of note in bodybuilding.
There is no reason for anyone to trust and respect him. None of his businesses have been successful. His forums failed. His radio show is no more. His YouTube show is going nowhere.
He used to boast that he is related to a champion professional bodybuilder. However, that pro forbids Melvin to mention his name and besides, the pro will deny being related.
You got your PHD at the time when going to college and buying a pastrami sandwich cost the same you moron. There's also a thing called "changing your plans" but I honestly dont have no reason to care or answer to you. The advice you gave should have been to Keith/Jabba The Hut. Your friend is dead. I'm not an inventor but if I was then I would waste my time building something that is not needed
You're a loser, you're old, and you have nothing

Ah, Melvin, nothing has changed in all these years. Your ignorance is actually increasing as you get older.

Larry Scott had some awesome training techniques and had a training newsletter for years teaching them. He probably got most of the ideas from Gironda.
