I have no idea why my thread on my phone convesation was merged with one of the interview responses thread. My thread was separate from the bb.com interview, it was a separate phone call, and therefore should not be merged with it. Meanwhile there are Nasser threads created by pumpkinheads that bash Nasser and those are not merged. From what I understand Ron is okay with there being multiple Nasser threads as long as they each have actual interesting and distinct topics. So since it was wrongly merged, I'm reposting it here. By the way if this is merged I will simply keep reposting itI was lucky enough to have a detailed discussion with NASSER himself tonight, here are some of the highlights:
He trained twice today, in the morning doing back and abs and at night shoulders and calves. He sometimes still trains twice a day, depending on how he feels. He walked Miss. Sato between his workouts and hung out with some friends.
We had a laugh over much of the Part 4 interview content, especially over DCM and his former wife being known to sleep with so many men in the industry including Nasser.
On Greg Kovacs he said he does feel sorry for Greg, but of course not for DCM.
He has almost an unlimited amount of interesting stories and insights about the sport and other pros that he may choose to discuss for future interviews. I wont share them here but he is definitely a fountain of knowledge!
He denied being GH15. He said he simply does not have the time to be posting as much on here as gh15 does. Nasser only started following the board more closely a few months ago after Team Nasser was formed, and reviews it occasionally and sends posts through David or myself but is not nearly as involved in this site as GH15. However, he did acknolwedge that he beleives GH15 is really an ifbb pro.
He also reaffirmed that he is NOT doing these interviews for any type of attention, and that he has already gotten much more attention that any forum or interviews can produce. He is also not doing it out of any kind of spite or bitterness. He just wants to let interested readers know TRUTH about varoius aspects in bodybuilding that are rarely talked about, and at the same time to add some humour into it. He reconfirmed that hist stories are 100% true and he has no reason to lie about them. Nasser was in a laughing mood for a lot of the conversation when discussing interview topics -- if he really were bitter he would not be using a cheerful tone the way he was.
We also had a chuckle over everyone's assumption that he is "broke" and that he sells his used clothing because he needs the money, lol. He spoke to me a bit about his commercial real estate ventures, and his holdings are in the seven figures and are yielding relatively high returns. One of his former personal-training clients from the San Diego area provided him with an investment proposal a while back which has since been working out very well for him.
