I dragged myself out of bed with my epic 11 1/2 inch arms this morning and said to myself, "self, you need a good dose of Haterade."  So, I went straight to the top.  Here I am fellas!  Have at it....

Oh, yeah, 240, you're welcome.  I did put you on the map.   I also sent you two of your recent clients, who overpaid you.  Cha-Ching!!  Keep the change ;D

John when are you going to give one of the guys on Getbig there own column in MD? theres some real comedians on here it would be a great column.some people dont have the internet so theyre missing out on some of the characters from getbig,i think it would be a great comedy column,better than greggs.

you could take some of the funniest quotes,most talked about happenings,most talked about bodybuilder theres literally tons of material you could get,i think that would be awesome, i know youve talked about it before, you should do it, it was a good idea.

I have to tell you that the down homies love MD.  As an ex-con myself, I can tell you, there are some okay guys in prison.  Seeing themselves in MD is a positive thing for them.  And to continue their weight training on the outside is also good.

Would you like to share your order with the rest of the class? :)

Oh, yeah, 240, you're welcome.  I did put you on the map.   I also sent you two of your recent clients, who overpaid you.  Cha-Ching!!  Keep the change ;D

Goog idea!!  I think I'll add it to Romano Factor this month.
I think a GETBIG collum in MD would be genius. GETBIG is a look into the BB industry through the eyes of the kids sitting on the back of the bus. MD ALWAYS states how they are 'no nonsense, no bullshit'. Well, so is GETBIG. On GETBIG...we keep it 100% absolutley REAL and we sugarcoat NOTHING. We let no injustices slip through the cracks and we let NO lies slip past us.

 Everymonth I think Romano should pick a GETBIGGER to give their 2cents to a particular topic. Or maybe even a handdful of us. One topic or question or opinion...and have a group or two or three chine in to give their views.

 More or less...GETBIG endorses MD Magazine. Despite the ragging on Blechmans hairdo and his metrosexual ways and ragging on Hany being a trick snitch btich and Ron describing every single negroe in the magazine as a "sensual and sexual mountain of hot greasy ebony muscle"...we 'give the nod' to the MD camp.

 If one GETBIGGER would have a monthly collumn...I would say give it to 240 or Special Ed. Both are excellent writers.

 MD is supposed to be the cutting edge magazine for the scoop and info DEEP in the industry, right? Well GETBIG.com IS that deep inside scoop. GETBIG.com IS whats going on in this industry. The whole BB/FIT/FIG industry knows what power we have here in strength. They know how many eyes read these forums day in and day out. They know we can MAKE or BREAK an individual athlete, supplement company, magazine and just about everything els.

 Something to think about John...Ron, Steve.

 Your thoughts?

Here is what I'm going to do.  I'm going to leave it up to you guys.  I think there should be a thread called Get Big Says - or something like that - and those who wish to contribute should post their offering in 500 words or less.  You guys vote on it, and decide by the 15th of each month what the entry will be.  I will of course reserve the right to refuse it - but only if it's really stupid or too hurtful to someone or illegal.  If I accept it, I'll print it word for word, baring any mistakes in grammar, in Romano Factor, and on line on the new MD website due to launch the end of the month.  Have at it, fellas, you have a voice.

Thank you!  Yes, I did like the story, but they were very insistant that I give myself a shot on camera.  It was regretable because I was out of shape from taking some time off to heal my shoulder and not really ready to gear up just yet.  It was gratuitous and I thought it was BS.  But, it was the only way I could get heard.  So, I figured, WTF?

 Blechman should look into Special Ed's work. He'd be a great addition to the magazine. He is very tounge-in-cheek, direct and extensive knowledge with just about everything in this industry, he's educated, well written and creative along with humorous.

 There are alot of talent on this particular board. 240 is another one but not as talented as a plain raw WRITER as Special Ed. I like to think I'm pretty good as well...

What is your commitment to Bodybuilding Steve?
When can I expect to buy tickets for an MD Bodybuilding contest?

Since the same fellow said on the radio that MD is the number one magazine I am sure the contest will rival the Olympia for prize money.

I don't know about the rest of you but I can't wait to buy my tickets for this contest.
It is going to awesome, right Steve?

 The point of MD being in the MAGAZINE buisness and NOT in the BB contest promotion buisness is spot on and has already been posted.

  
 I compare AMI BB publications to the supplement giant MuscleTech. it will attract the newbies and the virgins but once their cherries are popped and once more expierence is gained under their belts...they turn away from what they first started with for greener pastures. They go to MD for truth and no nonsense because they now realize that the reason why they don't have 22'' arms "like the pros" after following that 12 week "Armed and Dangerous'' routine to a T is because it takes just a little more than the Weider principles and glutamine and creatine.

 Once they realize that MT supplements did NOT give them 40lbs of 'mind blowing' muscle and they still don't get laid by the blonde on the beach...they realize its a waste of money and money would be better spent on the basic supplements in the most cost efficient way.

 How's that analogy, John? That's why MD is #1...it is because 'the newbs' moved on and got wiser.

You gotta be careful not to use 'monster' too often or incorrectly.

In the case of Spec Ed'd thes. use, you'd want to emphasize not the book, but the use of that book.  For instance, "brutal right-click, synonym usage" or "epic thesaurustic reliance".

The way John juices, he could do it until 90 with no health problems.  He's like me in that he hates the government for babying us, but rarely acknowledges that not everyone is responsible with drugs as he and I.  If everyone was like John and I, drugs probably wouldn't be illegal to begin with (providing the government could make money off them).

I think drugs should be legalized as well.  I do think they should be taken out of sports.

240 would excel with his own advice type column, answering questions and delivering ownings with his well honed sardonic wit.

TheBlockHead on the other hand would serve as a great roving reporter, send him out in the field to contests, and expos to report on the assortment of characters, hucksters and charlatans that frequent these events. He is a man's man, (no metrosexual here,) who can deliver a high testosterone report of events along with his true tales of sexual conquests.

TA makes a lot of excellent points about nutrition and roids.  Not everything I agree with of course.

As I said, pro bodybuilding without gas is like driving a car without gas.  It doesn't matter how well maintained and in place every other factor is, without gas, you don't get anywhere - period.  I know John is as real as they come in magazines but it would not be wise for him to admit that in his publication or else the advertisers selling supplements wouldn't find it to be as attractive.

Any pro here disagree?  Great.  Cease roid use, shrink down to 200 pounds, then contact the undersigned.

My friend has been on 30mg of British Dragon dbol a day since Friday and has gained a pound a day in that time.  Shitty cycle, I know, but he is afraid of needles and wouldn't take my advice to stack it with some test.  Oh well.  No change in his diet to speak of, and he was exactly 170 pounds for the past six months.  Jeez, but roids are a small part of the picture?  Seriously, fuck off.  :)

No hate here, just reality.  Bodybuilding as we know it is roids.  Nobody is denying the work ethic of most pros who do indeed train hard.  TA and I are just saying they would look like normal people who workout without gear.  Is this somehow untrue?  Didn't think so.

the problem i have with that is the "all drugs" comments...what exactly does that mean?...it implies that these guys dont bust their ass 24/7 to get ready for a show....that somehow they just pop these magical pills or injections, lift a little bit of weights,  and they are ready for the contest...lol...if it was all about drugs there would be alot of elite level bodybuilders walking around....i dont care how many drugs they take, it they are not doing everything else the drugs are worthless.

drugs are a big part of bodybuilding, always have been...but genetics, advancements in nutrition, supplements/protein powders, training are also a huge part of the equation...roids alone can only get you so far...if some wrote an article proclaiming that professional bodybuilders are just regular guys who juiced up to the max, it would be misleading because there is so much more to it than that...these haters on the board would like to think so but thats just not reality.

Romanowski,

Bro,
You gotta be careful not to use 'monster' too often or incorrectly.

In the case of Spec Ed'd thes. use, you'd want to emphasize not the book, but the use of that book.  For instance, "brutal right-click, synonym usage" or "epic thesaurustic reliance".

rob

Got it, Thanks!!  It's going to take me a while.  Pleae be patient....

240 would excel with his own advice type column, answering questions and delivering ownings with his well honed sardonic wit.

TheBlockHead on the other hand would serve as a great roving reporter, send him out in the field to contests, and expos to report on the assortment of characters, hucksters and charlatans that frequent these events. He is a man's man, (no metrosexual here,) who can deliver a high testosterone report of events along with his true tales of sexual conquests.
Thanks nycbull,

 That's ultimately exactly the kind of thing I'd like to do. I already do that on a smaller scale for a supplement company based out of Chicagoland for their website.

 Cara? You need a roving reporter to deliver a high testosterone no holds barred reports on shows/expos etc? I can paint the perfect picture as if they were there for your readers who didnt or doesnt attend shows/expos etc...

 I have some street cred.

TA makes a lot of excellent points about nutrition and roids.  Not everything I agree with of course.

As I said, pro bodybuilding without gas is like driving a car without gas.  It doesn't matter how well maintained and in place every other factor is, without gas, you don't get anywhere - period.  I know John is as real as they come in magazines but it would not be wise for him to admit that in his publication or else the advertisers selling supplements wouldn't find it to be as attractive.

Any pro here disagree?  Great.  Cease roid use, shrink down to 200 pounds, then contact the undersigned.

My friend has been on 30mg of British Dragon dbol a day since Friday and has gained a pound a day in that time.  Shitty cycle, I know, but he is afraid of needles and wouldn't take my advice to stack it with some test.  Oh well.  No change in his diet to speak of, and he was exactly 170 pounds for the past six months.  Jeez, but roids are a small part of the picture?  Seriously, fuck off.  :)

No hate here, just reality.  Bodybuilding as we know it is roids.  Nobody is denying the work ethic of most pros who do indeed train hard.  TA and I are just saying they would look like normal people who workout without gear.  Is this somehow untrue?  Didn't think so.

well your friends a fucking lazy idiot then, because i can maintain 240 clean as a whistle and under 12% without any drugs. I dont touch a damn thing unless im competeing anyway, i use light test and an anabolic when im dieting to maintain muscle. Sure i get killed because half the guys are on year round and dosed to the gills but at the end of the day they eat an train just as hard as me. I just choose not to take it to an unhealthier level and compete for fun. It can be done without drugs, just on a different level. Your friend weights 170...you could have just stopped right there as it sums up his level. He has no business taking shit yet. If you cant hit 200 naturally eating cleanly 6-8 times a day and training 4 days a week....take up knitting. Besides the dbol is packing water on him right now...not muscle.

MD sells 30,000 copies each month.  Call it $3.50 an issue for simplicity sake, with ads generating at least that much cash if not more.  So we have a quarter million a month in gross revenue here or three million a year.  Sounds like MD is definitely doing well, even with that very conservative estimate.

30,000 copies - hahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahaha h!!!!!!

No WAY NO HOW, would you be 200 lbs ripped if you stopped juicing for good.

You wouldn`t even come close to the 200 mark.

I can`t believe that you believe your own delusions.

Go clean for at least 2 years and for every pound over 200 you mantain in single digit bodyfat, I will pay you 1000 dollars.

You really need to come to the terms that THERE ARE NO CLEAN people walking around ripped at 200 lbs under 6ft.

I was clean from 2002-2005 before that show...I could have easily came in at 200, now a shredded 200+ roid like look, of course not I have also been clean since may 2005 and im 234 with all my abs right now. i must be mistaken though and it will all disappear right before my eyes according to you. But i thought you would at least be intelligent enough to know this already. How is it a baboon such as yourself is this delusional. There are litterally thousands of drug tested lifetime nattys competing 200-210, look up ernie richards for one.

Hmm, let me see here -
1. Nope, I have both my original kidneys.
2. Never been arrested.
3. Haven't tried to find 'truth' in the dictionary, but it's gotta be somewhere between toilet and voluminous.
4. I used to film Romano for his Muscle Meals segments on ESPN - and eat all the food when we were done shooting.
5. Tried AAS on about 15-20 occasions and still stuck at my birth weight of 9 pounds, 3 ounces - arms are a brutal six inches and I have been runner-up in the Heavyweight division of Mr. My Backyard three times
6.  Love women, would rather take a big dump than hold it in, can type in both upper and lower case letters, have been friendly with several drug dealers
7. Many non-steroid supplements 'work,' but always admit that NOTHING works as good as steroids
8. Imagination is so good that for years I thought I ran with the popular clique in high school, only to realize later that I was home schooled and imagined the entire cast of characters
9. My ratio probably was right up there many times, now it's on the low normal end - probably lower than most women getting ready for the Fitness and Figure Olympia right now
10. I thought it was illegal to give bad references?

"Even this ebony mountain of muscle (that’s for my peeps over at GetBig!) can’t handle that much weight in strict form."

It would be a genius idea and concept. Blechman would benefit from this. Let me illustrate my hypothesis...

 In the movie 'The Devils Advocate' Al Pacino plays the devil. In that movie he told his son, his new apprentice(Keanu Reeves) that the only way he will travel is by the subway train. "Stay in the trenches" is what he shouted out. What better advice for the devil, himself to give himself if he wants to stay on top of mankind and what is REALLY going on with humanity...by staying in the trenches.

 You think FLEX and M&F stays in the trenches? Bitch, pleeeease!

 MD has Palumbo, Romano, Ron and Flex...all who walk the line and believe in their product.

 I already established numerous times here over and over again that the forums here at GETBIG.com is so heavily viewed and read and such high traffic...it is the ultimate place to get the inside scoop and opinions of what keeps this industry alive. The fans.

 I also established what a powerful influence the GETBIG.com forums have on the industry. It is infested with insight that is so direct and spot on it's almost insulting...which it usually the case. Then again the turth is never easy to see, read or hear. Why do we all think Romano isnt thinking about giving the honors to all of the teachers pets at Mayhem? It's because MD is no nonsense, no bullshit...just like these forums here at GETBIG.

...or baseless attacks that will cause a competitor such powerful mental and emotional trauma that he goes off the deep end and ups the dosages and develops a 'get bigger at all cost' attitude even greater than he/she ever had before which causes his arms to shrink, legs to shrink and stomach to grow out of control.

 Hey how is The King of New Jersey doing as of late?

Thanks,

P.S. Everybody - I got my new Accu Measure Myo Tape as a free gift from my last bodybuilding.com purchase, and I'm proud to announce my arms are up to six and a half! (the left one anyway - the right is still six)

In the Ronnie Coleman column I just submitted for the December issue, I used the Ebony Mountain of Muscle phrase again, like so:

"Even this ebony mountain of muscle (that’s for my peeps over at GetBig!) can’t handle that much weight in strict form."

Ronnie may even want to use this as a T-shirt slogan eventually.

Post by: John Romano on September 13, 2006, 08:24:16 PM
It would be a genius idea and concept. Blechman would benefit from this. Let me illustrate my hypothesis...

 In the movie 'The Devils Advocate' Al Pacino plays the devil. In that movie he told his son, his new apprentice(Keanu Reeves) that the only way he will travel is by the subway train. "Stay in the trenches" is what he shouted out. What better advice for the devil, himself to give himself if he wants to stay on top of mankind and what is REALLY going on with humanity...by staying in the trenches.

 You think FLEX and M&F stays in the trenches? Bitch, pleeeease!

 MD has Palumbo, Romano, Ron and Flex...all who walk the line and believe in their product.

 I already established numerous times here over and over again that the forums here at GETBIG.com is so heavily viewed and read and such high traffic...it is the ultimate place to get the inside scoop and opinions of what keeps this industry alive. The fans.

 I also established what a powerful influence the GETBIG.com forums have on the industry. It is infested with insight that is so direct and spot on it's almost insulting...which it usually the case. Then again the turth is never easy to see, read or hear. Why do we all think Romano isnt thinking about giving the honors to all of the teachers pets at Mayhem? It's because MD is no nonsense, no bullshit...just like these forums here at GETBIG.

I couldn't have said it better!!  Remember when I pissed you all off with my editorial dissing the boards?  Well, that is how you guys earned my respect.  My assistant has combed the boards for me - GetBig, Mayhem, and BB.com for a little over two years now.  Out of all the info she has gathered for me on the pulse of this hing we do, GetBig has BY FAR out paced the other boards.  Some say you guys are too brash or rude and crude, but I say, "if you can't stand the stink get the fuck out of the gym."  Bodybuilding - HARDCORE bodybuilding - is made up of bad-ass dudes, some with tattoos, scars, and facial hair, who speak in expletives and aren't afraid to tell someone they suck if that's the truth.  Keep it hardcore and keep it real.  At least back in the day, that's what it was all about.  I trained in Venice CA at Golds and/or World gym from 1979 to 1999 when I left the country.  That was hardcore, that was head strong, that is what it missing in almost every gym in the country today because they all turned into "health clubs."  But not here.  That's why I like this place.  That's why I have chosen to participate here and no other board - except of course when our MD boards go up.  Then I'll straddle.  There will always be exceptions and the odd asshole, but for the mot part, you guys make me feel like I did back in the day.  I think there is some real talent here.  I can't tell you how many times I've laughed my ass off reading threads here, or learned something, or gotten a perspective I hadn't thought of.  Yawn elsewhere.  So, yes, I am serious.  500 words or less, every month in Romano Factor, I will dedicate to the offering you guys contrive and you guys choose.  I would like to see someone representing.  However, it is all up to you.  Perhaps it could be like a contest each month?  Everyone gets a turn? Vote a member to contribute? It is all up to you.  I need it by the 15th of each month - that's the only rule.  Well, almost.  I am going to have to retain the right to refuse anything that will piss off advertisers too much, it can't be too nasty, and no one gets hurt.  And I will be very lenient.  So, have at it.  This being the first month, I'll extend the deadline to the 20th.  Any questions?

That's not a diss John.  That's just the number that had been cited on here before.

I know Matt.  And I know the retard who cited it.  Steve told me today that he is looking into ABC audits by year end.  When those number come out I have a feeling MD is going to be dishing out a large serving of crow, and those guys are going to have to eat it.

Ron Harris.  He is up there with my favourite writers, mostly because he goes over a lot of bodybuilding's history and cool gym stories and gossip in his training columns.  Good detailed writing, but also "easy on the ears/brain" - light reading but still very educational.  Ironically I am a huge fan of Shawn Perrine's writing for the exact opposite reason: his illuminative verbiage always enlightens my cognitive agencies.

Agreed.  Ron and I go way back to like 87? It was before I went to prison so it had to be back there somewhere.  Ron will know for sure.  No one knows the game in the gym like Ron does and he puts it down smooth.  He has written nearly every training article in MD for several years now and is a permanent fixture.  I wish the boss would bring him on exclusively.

I dragged myself out of bed with my epic 11 1/2 inch arms this morning and said to myself, "self, you need a good dose of Haterade."  So, I went straight to the top.  Here I am fellas!  Have at it....

Oh, yeah, 240, you're welcome.  I did put you on the map.   I also sent you two of your recent clients, who overpaid you.  Cha-Ching!!  Keep the change ;D

  John Romano, your magazine is shit and you're a liar. All you publish are articles on sauce, how to inject sauce, how to get sauce and the like. And you also make a habit of insulting pro bodybuilders who won't do photo shoots for your magazine. You also get into little pissing contests with other magazine publishers, like a bunch of school girls,  and bring the whole sport down in the process.

  I find it appalling that you, a guy who never made it big in the sport, reduces everything to drug-taking. This, despite the fact that yu're a self-confessed ergogenic abuser, and yet never had anything to show for it. Even back in the 1999s, you had the kind of pysique that any channel-surfer who works on the stair-master three times a week is able to develop. Oh by the way, how's your Nubain addiction going? Did you rid yourself at least from that?! Your articles on ass fucking are made even more pathetic by te fact that I'm sure that you prefer being in the receiving end - you know too much about the topic of gayness not have given it a shot sometime.

  MD was the best bodybuilding mag back in the 1990s: it combined the scientific precision of IronMen with the high quality photography and layouts of FLEX. Now, after it degenerated into the "all natural" MD and back to MD again, it became a fucking joke. You bring the whole sport down with your unproved invectives about the pros, your training advice is sophomoric and your drug-injecting advice, besides being illegal, i downright dangerous and wrong. Will you be there when some kid gives himself an infection, or worse, when the needle breaks inside his glutes, requiring majr surgery?! It's such a fucking joke: and entire magazine turned into Greg Zulak's former "ask Zulak" column for MuscleMag! Fuck you for being such a dick and making bodybuilding even more a circus geek act for the masses. Fuck you for saying that any ectomorph can become the next Dorian or Ronnie if only he takes the right amount of trenbolone and doses his insulin correctly. I appreciate MD for being honest about the whole drug topic, which FLEX isn't, but you fags have taken it to the point where lies and medical fallacies are written all the time just for sensationalist purposes. I still purchase MD for the comic factor, but the magazine is dead to me whe it comes to real bodybuilding info. John Romano, you're a fucking asshole! >:(

Mr. Romano,

In spite of what others have said about you, you have earned my grudging respect.  I have but one simple wish in my life, and that is to see an article with photo spread of Vince Goodrum training with Ronnie Coleman.  Could you make this happen?  I will find a sick child to endorse the idea if that helps.

Thank you!!  OMG, could you just imagine that spread?  I just spit a mout full of water half way across the room!!  I'll see what I can do.  I'm going up to BSN tomorrow, I'll ask them if they will let Ronnie do it.  Vince is up to you  ;D

Romano is one of the reasons why pro bodybuilding didn't become a complete circus of lies and make-believes for good. His contribution, along the great majority of the MD team is one of the most valuable assests to the industry. And I love bodybuilding with all my heart.

Titus and I did have a beef way back, but we had cleared the air several years ago.  What it came down to was him "cooperating" with the cops when he was rearrested while on probation.  I wouldn't really have cared all that much, except for the fact that one of the guys who ended up doing time was an acquaintance of mine.  In the beginning it seemed Titus had stood up t the cops and I had interviewed him and fell for his act, and I printed it.  After the article came out I started getting letters from prison.  Several letters telling me he was full of shit.  One of them was the guy I knew.  So, I wrote another article citing the side of the guys who he ratted out, complete with his failed drug test results from the court that proved he was using drugs before and after the USA - a supposedly drug tested (in those days) show.  Well, if you know Titus, you know what his reaction would have been.  It eventually all blew over.  As for his situation now?  I defer to my dearly departed friend Dan Duchaine who always said Titus would have a tough time with life.  I feel bad for Kelly.  Craig will do just fine in Prison, Kelly will not.  I also feel bad for Maura James. Her heart will be empty for the rest of her life.  Yes, he is innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. However, we terminated his column in October.  Its popularity had gone down and it was time for new blood.  It had nothing to do with his alleged crime.

John,

How about doing a BIG feature on John Grimek, your magazines founder and some of the old guys for me?

A lot of people will buy that.  In fact, put Grimek on the cover and style it like the magazines of yesteryear just for one issue.

I would really enjoy reading about it.

That is a good idea, and something I have been mulling over since I met Larry Scott last year at the Arnold.  My friend Brian Moss has a really cool retro gym studio that would make the perfect back drop for some great shots of members of the old guard.  The production expense involved with doing it the way I want has so far been prohibitive.  The guys in Grimek's crew deserve much reverence and I want to make sure they get it.  It will come.

Good thread so far.

John, why not do an update on Orville Burke?  Some of these guys are packing on mass in the IFBB, doing damage, and next thing you know they are injured/retired and just swept under the rug.  Seems unfair to me.

Also, how many issues does MD sell?  My uni even carries it which leads me to believe it would seem higher than 30,000.  There are probably at least a few hundred just in my city if not more.

There are a bunch of guys who fell through the cracks.  Or on crack  ;D  One of the reasons i showed up here was to find out what you guys want to learn that is appropriate with a 3 month lead.  The internet is instant, print is slow.  Now that the Internet is so strong, and sites like this determin the direction so fast, it came time to really make our presence on line as powerful as in print.  Once our new site is up this month it is going to leave a void in print as we allocate more timely material to the web.  So, keep suggesting. I'll keep bringing it up in creative meetings and I'm sure some of your topics will get discussed.

It is hard to tell you what our actual circulation numbers are because we are not audited.  Last year our distributors got us a chain wide deal with Wallmart and Wallgreens, next month we have another big deal closing.  Our goal is to be side by side with Flex in every place it is sold by year end and then assign ABC the audit.  First quarter 07 will show more specific numbers.  We have been growing steadily every year.  So far this year we are up double digits.

That's why I like this place.  That's why I have chosen to participate here and no other board - except of course when our MD boards go up.  Then I'll straddle.  There will always be exceptions and the odd asshole, but for the mot part, you guys make me feel like I did back in the day.  I think there is some real talent here.  I can't tell you how many times I've laughed my ass off reading threads here, or learned something, or gotten a perspective I hadn't thought of.  Yawn elsewhere. 

Interesting ;D

Post by: John Romano on September 14, 2006, 06:17:26 AM
I disagree.  If anything, fewer people would be doing drugs after reading MD, and the ones who are doing them are doing them responsibly.

I know you want to pretend that preaching abstinence works, but the facts show that the opposite is true.

Also, who cares about something being illegal?  You make it sound like legalities automatically equate to morality.  The only reason why drugs are illegal to begin with is because the corrupt government can't make any money off them.  Do you know why oxys and percs were invented?  So that the government could compete with coke and heroin dealers and put some of that drug money back in the system.  You know why the government spends far more money fighting pot than meth, despite meth being far, far worse as a public health hazard?  Because pot takes far, far more money out of the system.  "The government" (referring to specific corrupt individuals who have power) wants nothing more than money.  Every commercial you see is "Ask your doctor about [name of drug]."  These commercials are produced by PUSHERS who want us all to be addicted to drugs.  What is morally reprehensible is that these pushers are not obvious either, they are subtle and act under the guise of pretending to help us.  They are manipulative in order to get your money.  You don't need drugs for everything!

Lastly, somebody I know went to jail for dealing cocaine - in the time he went through the prison he saw pedophiles go IN AND OUT.  Why?  Because all they did was rape a little girl - they didn't take hundreds of thousands of dollars out of the system like he did.  It ALL comes down to the mighty dollar in government.  Stop pretending they want to help anybody.  The good politicians do, but their decisions are overshadowed by the corrupt ones who manage to accrue the most power.  The US system of "bail" is absolutely disgusting in my opinion.  People who fraud the government spend far more time in jail than murderers.

If you think the law equates to morality, I think you should revise your moral system.  If killing babies was required by law, would you judge John for speaking out against it?

At this point, we sell the license to MD in other countries.  My Friend Gerry owns the rights to MD in Hungary, I own the rights to MD in Spanish, we also sold the license to Greece, Russia, England, and I think one other.  Those licensees have the right to print whatever they want under the MD name.  Our Spanish edition is 95% a direct translation.  If you guys in other countries are interested in publishing MD where you live, let me know.

I was there and I was also using Billy's system - Intrafitt.  He uses a Skindex Caliper and uses the Pollock 4 site skin fold measurement.  That was the year Shelley Beattie took 3rd in the Ms O.  I was dieting with her for a photo shoot for MD.  I dieted down pretty low and Billy clipped me at a ridiculously low measurement - too low to print here  ;D  I subsequently went to USC and got dunked for a hydrostatic measurement and came up with 3.8% - MUCH higher than Billy's measurement.  Do not fault Flex Wheeler for what Billy told him.  It is merely the system Billy used.  If you go back and look at the measurements he claimed for his charges back then - Aaron Baker, Jimmy Quinn, Chris Dickerson, Shelley Beattie, Flex Wheeler, etc., they were all ridiculously low.

Well hopefully this doesn't change the quality of publication in any way.  See, Wal-Mart controls whole industries, but no industry controls Wal-Mart and so they are constantly putting pressure on distributorships, creating economies of scale, and things like this.  Don't give in - although I'm sure there is a lot of money in it if you do.

Nope.  We got kicked out of Wallmart before and we have to we'll get kicked out again.

thanks John, I agree an open and honest public discourse about all subjects is the only way things change for the better in society including the bodybuilding world. The other boards, I agree... yawn....they will sustain the status quo. This board might be crude and hatefull but it is real and the discourse is real and that is going to make real change for the better for all bodybuilders...and get a few laughs while were doing it.

Looks like I missed a few pages overnight -

Matt C - I used to like the Italian zombie flicks when I was in Jr High and High School "Zombie" and "Demons" were pretty intense. But I like everything from supernatural to slasher. Can't wait for "Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The Beginning" to come out next month!

Miss Karen - The older actor guy you saw was probably Brad Harris. He did some Hercules movies in the 1960's and had a great physique in his time, far ahead in terms of being super-lean. You didn't see an actor that lean again until Stallone in the later Rocky and Rambo movies. Brad also marketed those "Ab Originals" things you put your arms through and do hanging leg raises from.

John - I lived in Venice in the summer of 1988 but went back to Boston to go to Emerson for my last 3 years of school. I think I met you in early 1991 when I came back out to LA to do my last semester and started working for the ESPN American Muscle show. I still remember shooting one of your Muscle Meal segments in Tonya Knight's kitchen, another one in the Poteat brothers' beach house. Those guys had the life!

Shit, I had no idea Shelley was a lesbian when you met her. Curious, how did you manage to get her craving the man-meat?

Best Olympia TV broadcast I was part of was in 95 or 96 (?) when Dennis Newman 'crashed' the posedown, running down the aisles in his posing trunks and hitting poses, while Dorian and the rest of the top 6 was on stage looking pissed off. It was crazy.

Dennis was making a statement about not being allowed to compete as a pro after having survived leukemia. I knew about it days before it happened.

Hey Adonis can I suggest a piece????

Maybe you could do some investigative journalism and look into a certain BF reading that may or may not have been taken at Gold's between 10 and 20 year's ago.  Flex Wheeler was rumored to be involved.  Please though I beg you don't reveal me as a source.  I can't have people knowing that I'm looking into this.  It has to stay on the DL like Rodney St. Cloud.

Dude, did you read this?

I was there and I was also using Billy's system - Intrafitt.  He uses a Skindex Caliper and uses the Pollock 4 site skin fold measurement.  That was the year Shelley Beattie took 3rd in the Ms O.  I was dieting with her for a photo shoot for MD.  I dieted down pretty low and Billy clipped me at a ridiculously low measurement - too low to print here   I subsequently went to USC and got dunked for a hydrostatic measurement and came up with 3.8% - MUCH higher than Billy's measurement.  Do not fault Flex Wheeler for what Billy told him.  It is merely the system Billy used.  If you go back and look at the measurements he claimed for his charges back then - Aaron Baker, Jimmy Quinn, Chris Dickerson, Shelley Beattie, Flex Wheeler, etc., they were all ridiculously low.

hey John tell that story about how Lyle Alzado threw the skinny geek of the leg extension at Gold's Venice, that was a great story.

That was funny!!

I was training with Lyle when he was trying to make a comeback - right before he got sick.  86 or 87 I think. We wanted to do leg extensions and the machine he wanted to use was occupies by this little pencil neck.  He was just sitting there between sets hogging up the machine.  So, Lyle walks up to him and asks how many sets he has left.  The guy says, "I'll be done when I'm done."  With that Lyle said, "you're done now," and grabbed a handful of his shirt and yanked him off the machine.  The guy landed in pile on the floor about three feet from where we were standing.  Turned out the guy was a lawyer!!  He built an assault case against Lyle and sued him.  They settled out of court for $35,000.00!!  Lyle was such a hot head.  A week or two before that he was late for training because some idiot had cut him off and he chased him down, dragged the guy out his car widow and bitch slapped him - at least that's what he told me.

wow where have you guys been all my life.  This is the kind of info I have been starving for.  When I say starving I mean 93 Flex Wheeler starving.  Those intense hunger pangs he felt as he was dieting in the weeks up to the Mr. Olympia contest of 1993.  Probably the way he felt as Billy Smith hopelessly pinched away at Flex in the Venice Golds, unable to squeeze even a nanometer of bodyfat of of Flex's 0.0% BF physique.

Hey John, I was at the 2003 Mr. Olympia and took some pictures with you and Greg Valentino. You asked me how old my kid was and said (I believe) you had a son of your own and that it was great to see the family out. You took like 5 pictures  with us to make sure they came out alright and even asked Victor Martinez to come over and take some. Anyway it was very cool and was a highlight. You also called Steve Blechman over and he gave me a M.D. for free. Very cool   D

Looks like I missed a few pages overnight -

Matt C - I used to like the Italian zombie flicks when I was in Jr High and High School "Zombie" and "Demons" were pretty intense. But I like everything from supernatural to slasher. Can't wait for "Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The Beginning" to come out next month!

Miss Karen - The older actor guy you saw was probably Brad Harris. He did some Hercules movies in the 1960's and had a great physique in his time, far ahead in terms of being super-lean. You didn't see an actor that lean again until Stallone in the later Rocky and Rambo movies. Brad also marketed those "Ab Originals" things you put your arms through and do hanging leg raises from.

John - I lived in Venice in the summer of 1988 but went back to Boston to go to Emerson for my last 3 years of school. I think I met you in early 1991 when I came back out to LA to do my last semester and started working for the ESPN American Muscle show. I still remember shooting one of your Muscle Meal segments in Tonya Knight's kitchen, another one in the Poteat brothers' beach house. Those guys had the life!

Shit, I had no idea Shelley was a lesbian when you met her. Curious, how did you manage to get her craving the man-meat?

The Poteats!!  Remember them?  Did I ever tell you about the two Hefty lawn bags full of gear they each had?  Remeber they got arrested and then hired Charles Glass and Dan Duchaine to testify it was for personal use??  Those were the days!!

Shelley?  Let's just say she was straight curious....  All the problems aside, I really miss that girl :'( :'( :'(

You obviously haven't read any of TA's drivel. Full of holes, and logic errors, biased towards his opinion that eating Ben & Jerries (see his avatar) at each meal will get your ripped -- and with that magical keyboard of his, he can make it look like he is correct by sighting studies that he's either edited or are based on a narrow interpretation.

Get a good writer like TheBlockHead or Special Ed.
Thanks for the compliment, garraeth. I have been telling Romano and Cara from MD how talented of a raw unfiltered writer Special Ed really is. Even thought there are a plethora of honorable mentions here...Special Ed would probably be the ideal candidate representing GETBIG to pen articles or Q&A or just a simple keyhole view into the industry for MD.

 To be compared to his style and talent is a compliment.

I just remember the Poteats had MAD money and they didn't work - weren't they supposed to be heirs to Dow Chemical or something? When we were over there doing your cooking segment, you broke a bottle of GH of theirs by accident but I don't think it was a big deal, because they were straight-up rich. I remember one had a Porsche, the other had an Acura NSX I think? They had that huge house a block away from Hermosa Beach, and they both looked like jacked-up Ken Dolls.

I said to submit somthing.  I can't got ot he boss empty handed.  You have to write an article.  I'll get it into his hands and if he likes it, I'm sure he will call.

This has nothing to do with my offer to print whomever the squad choose to say their piece in Romano Factor.  I hope it would be someone different each time.  I want you guys to decide what you want said, if you want anything said, in 500 words or less and I'll print it.

John, seriously...don't use someone like TA just because he's the loudest voice in the crowd. TheBlockHead and Ed are so elequent, creative, funny, and intelligent -- ask anyone on the board. Click their name(s) and check out all their past posts -- compare to TA (or don't) and I think you'll understand where I'm coming from.

I don`t even bother reading their garbage...Hardly any literary value.  Dumb fat people like you are easily amused.

Now...over the years and through trial/error and through expierence and self observation. I've come to find that when shooting for a 'position' or 'rank' or when trying to 'sell yourself' wether it is to a job for employment or to a girl for a relationship or for anythign els...it is ALWAYS best to NEVER EVER bash or put down the 'competiton'. The reason is...it is because YOUR status will be lowered and cheapened.

 If you are trying to lock down a relationship with a woman and another mans name comes up it is always best to say something positive. If you say somethign negative...your status gets lowered. Even if you do not like the person...then just say nothing at all.

 If at a job and you are shooting for a new position or promotion and the boss interviewing you asks why you would be a better person more fit for the opening than your fellow co-worker...and you bash or put down the co-worker? Guess what...the co-wrokers' odds are increased to be chosen now. Especially when he doesnt bash you.

 In sales it is the same thing. If anyone here works in sales will attest to never ever put down or bash the competition. it cheapens and lowers the status of the company or entitiy you represent.

 That is a great fkn story I'm not going to lie.

 3 yrs ago Gregg V used to tell some pretty good stories like this in his collumn. That was when I enjoyed his feature in MD every month.

 Classic 'war stories' of things we can relate to as bodybuilders grabs and holds a readers attention.
