Justin, you ever gonna invite Peter for a nice back workout with you and Steve??
Steve is in Texas now, so I don't get to train with him much at all anymore.
I'd love to get a lift in with Peter. Jessica and I worked together for Optimum Nutrition, so I got to speak with Peter at quite a few shows while I was at the ON booth, and he was at the MetRx booth.
They're both good people. I think Peter expects a lot of what he gets on the boards. He knows that you can only expect things like that when you're in the limelight.
Whether or not he likes the negative talk doesn't matter. If it had any reason for what appears to be great improvements in his back and conditioning in only a few short months, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. He's kind of laughed at himself on a few threads, so I'm sure he understands it is part of the game.
I've said that if people talk negatively about your physique, it is up to you to look at what they're saying and self-evaluate. If there are changes that need to be made, it is up to you to make them. Peter looks better than I've ever seen him look, so he did his job.
