No shit, how is there any shame in being a business owner at a huge expo promoting your product.

This is weird.. the last pics I saw of Dorian from a few months ago, he was all jacked and big.. now in these he's tiny and looks like he stopped training.. wtf ?!!?

Wow - a guy promoting his own brand at an expo (when the brand was called Dorian Yates Approved). Nice - besides Dorian, we have Lee Labrada, Rich Gaspari, Gerard Dente, and countless others actually working at a booth. It is pretty cool to see them doing that. You know, in order to learn your business, you have to be able to do every job out there, from pouring drinks to talking about your products to even carrying a box.

It is the ones that don't like to help and just stand there that makes me wonder.

To see someone working, even if it is a former Mr. Olympia, is nice.

Get with the program, Mindspin, and stop eating these protein bars and ice cream!

I don't think I ever saw Bill Phillips, Scott Connelly or David Jenkins walking around their booths with a tray full of samples

Admit you talked out of your ass this time around, Yemeni. Dorian owns the company. What better marketing stunt to have Mr. O himself , which happens to own the company, advertising personally his product in the biggest fair/expo in the sport?

Besides, you are all too familiar with standing all day long in a supplement expo booth, aren't you? The only difference is that you had to wait 'till the end of the day to get paid by Connelly for a day's job. Dorian pockets 100% of the purchases at the booth, besides putting his product in the market and spreading the word about it.
And he is Mr. Olympia !

When an MD or Owner has not walked the Shop floor as it were you get problems, props to him for getting involved at least he does not think he is to good for this type of thing as some people obviously think they are!

You never saw any of them doing that because it wouldn't mean shit. These weren't bodybuilders, so the average fan could give a rat's ass who are these big shots, and that they are/were big playas in the supp industry. Fans want to see their favorite athletes at the expos, better yet if they own the companies they are doing advertising at hand for the products.

Who could give a shit of difference if he/she was walking around the expo and saw a tall, skinny, big headed moustached guy standing around the booth trying to convince the average joe that his protein is better than the next booth's because it contains metamyosin...... $:-\$

How wrong you are. Even though Scott may have not been walking around with a tray, he was there all day answering questions to a large crowd. Can't say the same for Jenkins or Phillps though...

Not being a tough guy here, far from that! I leave that role for the other geeks in here, since there are a lot of them lurking in here (sandycoosworth comes to mind

).

Just stating the facts, man. Just being real. You seem to be a cool guy and I like your posts, but this time around you dropped the ball. Simple as that.

No hard feelings, I hope.

I love Dorian's products....when I went to the Olympia expo, his crew was serving something like ice cream..I think it was Dessert Protein or something...best tasting stuff I have ever ate as far as protein powders...better than muscle milk

Wish I could afford supplements at the moment cause I would definately buy Dorian's brand...its high quality stuff!

I agree. I love the consistency & flavor of the ProPeptide.

To put it mildly, fuck Connelly!

Are you trying to say that a guy like Connelly drives more credibility to his products than an athlete like Dorian Yates does?

Again, to that average fan who have no interest on spending his time reading the mags or the boards to get in touch with who's who in this bizz or the gossip and papparazzi stuff in bb these days, just a regular guy who likes to lift and attend his fave bb shows/events, if he sees a guy like Connelly and then Dorian , both advertising their products, who do you think this fan will be more attracted to? Dorian not only preach, but he practices. He embodies the effects his product may help to produce. Hard to say the same looking at Connelly. Catch my drift?

And once again, didn't you say yourself you don't remember seeing Connelly around the expos, all day? How come now he "get to answer questions all day"?

Jerryme7 · « **Reply #24 on:** April 20, 2007, 12:58:19 PM »

Pro Peptide is awesome...I love that stuff, Mindspin!!

When I look at the pic of Dorian serving his products, it makes me respect him even more. This shows a sign of humility....the master being a servant...he came not to be served but to serve....

This pic made Dorian earn my respect
