I stick up for the athetes as a whole, I've helped out and made more money for more athletes than you would ever know...I Make changes for the betterment of the IFBB pro's, both men and women. My job entails being the voice of the pro's, COLLECTIVELY...If Lee had come to me for help, I would have certainly helped in any way I could within the proper channels, and using the proper format.
Come on Keith...get your facts straight, brother:Lee has made THOUSANDS more from his association with the IFBB over the last 10+ years...it's not even close.IS what he has chosen better for him?So far he got suspended from the IFBB, which has had (and will have) a direct effect on his ability to make money competing, and making guest posing appearances....lost his Twinlab contract, lost out on an opportunity to sign with a different major company because he didn't want to compete as an IFBB pro, and lost his contract with MD....You have a much different view of "better for him" than I do...Lee did want back in, or he wouldn't have has Steve B "see what he can do..." if Lee didn't want any part of it, he simply could have said "no thanks, Steve..." and that would've been the end of it...don't be so niave.Manion had nothing to do with the MD/ Olympia gig...that was all Flex magazine and David Pecker.Of course MD will be at the Olympia next year...they wer there this year, last year, and every year as far back as I can remember...why would this year be any different?Blechman fired Lee because of LEE..no one else.
to each his own path im sure lee can still look at himself in the mirror
Only if he stands on tippy toes
Bob chic is owned by BB.com slash ryan deluca. deluca owns higher power nutrition. higher nutrition scammed people out of thousands possibly millions selling bunk CEE and M1T too pay chics salary. consumers were jacked for that man.proof ask patrick arnold the man who tested the products and found out about the quality of their stuff.

Bob amazingly got his Master's title......Outstanding how that worked out for him isn't it? The years to come will only show what else Bob is given for his efforts in the IFBB.....LoL
Sadly he chose a different course in your words. But in reality what he did was better for him. The IFBB does not support their members thats a fact even you can't sidestep. SO far in less than 6 months Lee has made more from competitng in the PDI than he made in the IFBB. Same thing with St. Cloud. SO far all the things the IFBB has said about the PDI not making it and no money and no sposnors supporting have been wrong. I think the problem is that you and Manion think that Lee wanted back into the IFBB and can't fathom the thought that he really didn't.The MD issue is an exact point where the IFBB threatens sponsors and supporters till they cave in. Manion doesn't allot MD to cover the Olympia cause of their support of the PDI and Lee was under contract. Then all of a sudden Manion is sitting next to Bleckman at the North American and sits him up front shaking hands and crap. Now Bleckman lets Lee go after many years of working together and I will make a side bet with you of $1,000 that MD will be at the Olympia next year. Simple fact; Manion tells Bleckman to get rid of Lee and he can come back to the Olympia. Case closed. Those are the facts. And its a smart thing to do cause after M&F and Flex sell for near nothing the IFBB will be paying for advertisments and having MD in their corner will help. Great partnership, they are meant for each other.
Lee talking about Dave Palumbo...This is gold !!!! From where it all started, and unfortunattely ended up with Lee's demise from MD. Real pitty........One thing we have to admit, though.....the little guy is funny as hell when pissed
Respect goes many ways. You can disagree with someone, and still have respect for them.
I would have certainly helped in any way I could within the proper channels, and using the proper format.
Ah....Chicky is the IFBB Masters Champ.
granted... you have initially the better overview of the IFBB and what happens behind closed doors.I do have to run along, I will have a look later on I would love to continue this conversation... please rest assure that I do not have anything personally against you or do not want to lecture you, I just air my 5cent in human recourses as a Manager and Managing a rather rather large pool of staff.Thanks again.
Let me get this straight, does everyone here believe that Chick takes it up the ass from the IFBB? All of your comments to him have been downright disrespectful. F.U.C.K them all Chick, you can be my company man anytime.1
YEAH I DO SEE A TREND DO YOU?
