No problem at all Bob.
Keep on going.
Oh...forgot to tell. Pop up is annoying.

Watched most of the long version of Marcus Hayley. Just saw that there is a new one of a female BB'er (can't remember name).Would watch the whole thing if it were a bodybuilder i was more familiar with, but still cool. Quality was ok. Sound needs work though, very hard to hear Marcus talking. Content was good. Pop ups were, imo, a bit lame. What other pros are going to be in this series? Overall i think you are doing a great job Bob of giving us BB'ing fans as much coverage of the pros as possible. Keep up the good work.

The newest one is very much improved, in my opinion, better sound quality and higher video quality. I personally like the shorter version as I am more inclined to watch them online. The longer versions I'd download to my ipod of iphone to watch while traveling.

Good job Bob.

Question:

If I remember correctly, Bob, you said that this series was unique because videos would be posted literally within a few days of being shot so that the show is pretty much live, the whole concept of the series. Now, on the radio show you listed half a dozen athletes already filmed, so does that mean they will all be posted this week to keep the unique live timeline, or will some athletes shot be posted weeks later? I understand it takes time to edit, etc. But if the turnaround time will no longer be a few days for each athlete, how long of a time are we looking at?

Thanks! Keep up the great work.. very cool idea.

Were a little backed up....but will catch up his week. Unfortunately, I'm at the mercy of the editors back at the home office.

We're doing two per week now. The Silvio Samuel episode will go up tomorrow. Video editing does take a lot of time and effort, so please bear with us. Tyler and Craig (our editors) put a lot of time and work into them to make them as great as possible - it's an art, not a science!

Bob, keep up the good work..but drop the lame pop ups...also no female bodybuilders, only fitness sluts.

Doesnt anyone have a popup blocker $:-\$ they're free...

flexingtonsteele · « **Reply #135 on:** July 19, 2007, 11:26:31 PM »

the marcus haley episode was pretty good, but this last one with the female bb, seemed a bit rushed and didnt have enough "meat and potatoes" in it. It was just an appetizer.

Needs more "meaty" content.

i agree...but training shouldnt be special. its the consistancy that gives the results combined with sustained hard enough effort. not going to the gym to scream and do endless forced reps, just to quit after 2 years.

the more glass can normalize and make silvios training boring..the better results silvio will get

Adding an interview and predictions at the end was a brilliant touch

Chick, when's the next episode coming?

Charlys69 · « **Reply #146 on:** July 24, 2007, 12:06:00 PM »

@Bob/Chick

Are all olympia series will be made in the US, or a you planing to come to visit our german Prof.-Bodybuilders here in germany ?? (Markus Rühls Fitness-Center it´s only 5 minutes away from Frankfurt-Airport). Dennis Wolf trains and live around 130 miles away from Rühl (Dortmund/Germany). But Ronny Rockel trains in the former eastern-part of germany (about 4 hours with a car away from Frankfurt).

Chick · « **Reply #147 on:** July 24, 2007, 04:41:21 PM »

Unfortunately, we wont be filming abroad (well...a few broads maybe..

Cost is a factor, of course...if any of them make it out to the states before the competition...then I would love to get them on film.

Episode #4 is now up:

http://webcast.bodybuilding.com/fitshow/2007olympia/oseries/2007oseries4.htm

Which is comprised of 3 parts (short intro, long training, and long interview). Let us know what you think of Toney FREEMAN!!!

flexingtonsteele · « **Reply #149 on:** July 24, 2007, 08:18:12 PM »

The toney freeman episode is by far the best to date bob!

Good job with this one. If the future episodes follow this format everything will be just ok.

I think we all understand that you guys were workin out some kinks with the first few features, but this one is really good.

plus toney is just so damn confident it makes for a great segment.
