First time I've read this. Thanks for reposting it. Anyone have Greg's email address?

Thanks FORTRESS and all.

I know Greg is following this thread.  If he wants to forward his email with permission to pass it on privately, I can do that.

As always, I wish him the best.

WOW! I just reread this topic from page #1 and would like to thank Fortress for the information he and others have provided.

I've been involved within he bodybuilding , powerlifting, and olympic lifting games since the days when most of you were not even born and many times I think of myself as an obnoxious know-it-all regarding the lifting of heavy things only to discover that I have a hell of a lot more to learn but not enough time to do so.

I've never paid too much attention to the supplement business and the principal characters involved within it, so thanks for this info once again.

I had the honor of meeting Bob when he came to Hawaii as a guest of Marijo and Hanu and I'm too damn old now to even recall the year that that meeting occurred but it was on a cattamerran off the coast of one of the neighbor islands.

Our conversation was brief but it was a real pleasure meeting him.

A year or two later we had a long distant telephone conversation in an attempt to set up a photo shoot with Tony Breznik, but IronMan was shooting Tony in California that week but if my memory is still in tact, Bob set up a photo session for Tony while was training at Gold's Venice.

Just wanted to thank Fortress and back up all the great comments regarding Bob Kennedy.

PS.... Can anyone even recite just one of the Weider Principles that Cory was unaware of?

I sure as hell can't.

Greg Zulak??  Oh man, he's semi-retired and doing just some consulting work.  He turned 63 a few months ago

By the time I joined the MMI team ('93), Greg had already left and was only a sometime contributor. Him and I never much spoke. I think he thought I had taken his gig. Anyway ...

I grew up reading the guy's articles and think he's a talented guy. However, he had/has some major health issues that I won't detail out of respect for his privacy.

It's been quite some time since I last saw Greg. A friend saw him perhaps two years ago and said he was not doing well. Again, I won't elaborate.

I wish him the best. He never did anything against me.  

Wasn't there some scandal or notoriety involving his brother at some point?

Like I say, I was in Greg's presence many times, but he always seemed to not wanna talk with me. I made attempts. It's my feeling he held it against me that I was there kinda filling his recently-vacated role. However, whatever went down between him and Bob, happened long before I arrived on the scene.

I've always been a fan of Zulak's work and championed his contributions.

The first time he strolled into the offices, I remember being like, Holy crap! It's Zulak!

Marjo and Hanu are fantastic people. She's seriously one of the sweetest and most gracious women to ever be involved in the bodybuilding scene.

As far as the Weider Principles, stuff like super sets, giant sets, quality training, progressive overload, etc. Most of his "principles" were known much before his time, but Joe, ya know?

Who's brother? Paul's? All I know is, he's dead. Was kind of a simple guy who didn't have much going on, as I recall.

FORTRESS! I am in total agreement with you regarding Marjo and Hanu being fantastic people.

I will also say the same regarding Jeff and Cory (Everson) when they were together many-years back.

I've lost contact with Marjo and Hanu  many years ago and would like to email them if you have an email address. I assume that they are still in Hawaii.

The last time I spoke with Jeff (Planet Muscle) he had sold his Topanga Canyon mansion and was planning to settle down half the year in Hawaii and the other half in a place which I have forgotten.

The last time I saw Cory she was mid way through a seminar attended by a few hundred people and I walked in quietly but she saw me and excused  herself from the podium so she could come off that stage and give me a big hug.

I'm no one important but that hug felt damn nice but a bit embarrassing cause everyone in the audience was probably thinking , "Who the hell is that guy!?"

Great to se that you have also been involved in this game for so any years.

As for ZULAK contact ... Thanks for your help,PRINCESS, but I signed up and received his training 'book' but I am really more interested in seeing if we both have similar memories of the history of this 'game'.

It woud be great talking to him as I think we have both seen the growth of bodybuilding from two different perspectives.

If you could send me his personal email address, I'd be glad to contact him.

Thanks, ALL..... stunt
