meanwhile in Rx muscle they are using a regular forum member to put out the message that our newest CEO is still addicted to heroin . low even by polumbo standards. Our buddy AVBG concurs though. Here is an extract of a much supported posting
Recent upheavals here and addiction.
Hi everyone, I am Swingslammer on here but in "Real life" I am Cal and I have been clean and sober over 26 years now.
Addicts are pretty much pre-programmed to screw up their lives. Lie cheat steal to get what they want. .....
Addicts don't know how to be successful for long periods of time, they will usually "Self sabotage" because success it too stressful. Is this in EVERY case....No.
I was always worried about the "Former employee" because he still drank a lot and would do other drugs. He looked forward to the Amsterdam trip to do some magic mushrooms. That told me he had not had a great change in mind set. Going through rehab or to 12 step meetings gives you a framework to live the rest of your life on...without that you just quit your drug of choice.
That's low, by anyone's standards....
In this particular industry, where 99% of the competitors and most of the adamant fans are addicted to steroids (because without them, they would not have their bodies which allow them to make a living), no one should be pointing the proverbial finger at potential or actual addicts.
Be it an illicit street drug, a prescribed medication (as can be the case with most hormones, pain killers or even marijuana) or any other vice, an addiction is a serious issue and no one should be airing out someone's past mistakes or shortcomings in order to steal traffic and/or revenue.
I don't know Aaron and have no vested interest in his business or future endeavors, but to resort to such lowbrow tactics is not just unprofessional, but downright disgusting.
This guy (Aaron) worked for Rx muscle, broke bread with Dave and his cohorts and stood firm in doing whatever it is he did for them for the allotted time period before things went bad. To now start to bring up the guy's past and/or his private life issues is disgusting.
That's one thing I admire about this site. We have many members here that have been through hell and back and while many of us (moderators and Ron as well) are privy to some of these things, we would never talk about their personal struggles in life that have been told to us in privacy.
I know
MANY (way too many) New York City IFBB pros and NPC competitors alike (many of which work out at Steel Gym, others from the old Johnny Lats gym and even some from Bev Francis' Powerhouse Gym) that have a shitload of stories regarding Dave and the bullshit he pulled. Some of those guys can't even pretend to act civil if they see the guy, because many of which are still bitter from the bunk HGH or shitty, cookie-cutter dietary plans he was handing out to them for a "premium" price. Yet, even with all their personal issues revolving Dave, none of them go online and start to talk shit about it, instead they realize that sometimes that is the name of the game and keep moving forward. A "you win some, you lose some" mentality is what they have.
To resort to doing this is just cowardly..
