Bob Chick some questions on BSN?

[leadhead]

Lol @ r&d rivaling top rx companies!

[~UN_$ung~]

one thing you cannot take away from bob,...........he gets on here and mixes it up

all the other pros and industry people jumped ship a long time ago because their skin is thin and they dont like getting anything but ass-kissed on the boards

but bob c. comes on here and takes all comers

If Im at a show, I'm usually working in some capacity...so I really never get a chance to actually watch one....as for competitors, Ive been impressed as equally as Ive been amused...

No, I dont have the time to train people...I offer my help more in the business sense and occasionally in the posing/ presentation dept...

I was lucky enough to have Bob chick sit beside me during some of the prejudging at the 2004 GNC pro contest. He gave and insightful and entertaining play by play of the various pros on stage as they compared. The man really does know the sport and has a real passion for it.

For sure and as much shit as I give Bob I bet he'd be a pretty fun guy to shoot the shit with over a beer.

Bob is a good guy....we all know this.

But I think he is proof that Supplement Companies don't only go after the Current competitive guys but overall "Ambassador's" to the sport.

Did you approach BSN, vice-versa or what exactly? Perhaps this is info you can share with the Troy Alves and Melvin Anthony's of the world.

Is it safe to assume that the R&D going on at BSN rivals that of a company like Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline?  

Glaxo spend over $7billion a year and employ 16,000 people in R&D. No supplement company in the world generates the revenue that would allow that kind of spending.
BSN do have their own R&D department as seen in the video - its not stock footage - whereas lot of companies "R&D" is nothing more than supplying a list of ingredients to a contract manufacturer.

[Army of One]

How much does BSN spend on R&D per year?  
Does that black fella in the video have a PhD in Biochemistry?  
In the video what stage of the research process are we watching?
Is it safe to assume that the R&D going on at BSN rivals that of a company like Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline?  
Where are the major R&D facilities located?  

That video is crying out to be edited with A "Mirage" theme

Bob really is a cool guy. Next time you are at a major contest expo , head over to the BSN booth and talk with ol' Bob. He is open and candid about most stuff related to bodybuilding.

Bob, wouldn't you consider co-owning or owning a Gym in the future giving your expertise in the BB business?

I am sure Bob might agree that a company is in business to make money.
If  my 80 yr old MOM 's endorsement/pics would  sell pro powder,( better then Mr O) they would pay HER to promote it!

Always open to business proposals/ prospects...

[Howard]

Always open to business proposals/ prospects...

Yeah, but right NOW, you have a much better situation than having to deal with the day to day "slog " of owning a gym.
I don't think people realize that you really ENJOY being around bodybuilding , contests , expos, etc   TRUE?
