I only have 1 person on payroll which is a data entry clerk from india and I pay her 10,000 rupees a month. I own tons of stock photo so I don't need to hire any bodybuilders.

I stand corrected....party on!

He was on the road for at least 25 weeks a year. I believe it.

If he generates a nice return then he gets paid that.

My wife earns 400k + as a doctor but generates many millions for the company she works for.

There's lots of gullible natties out there throwing $$$ at fart-powder, apparently.

Hey Guys,
MuscleMeds is owned by MHP which is a highly profitable company.
Yes, I know my Training Partner Craig Richardson is one of their spokespersons, so you think I am going to promote their products.
WRONG!!!!
I've never taken their products so I have no right to comment on them particularly.
As far as Kai leaving, I did report that to you guys on August 6th before the news broke.
Why Kai would want to leave is up for speculation but he was no big fan of traveling, had serious issues in South America in terms of
people even wanting him back and NEVER shows up on time even when he forces the company to pick him up and drive him to and from.
Those are not characteristics of someone who enjoys being a "company man."
My understanding is that Kai had a tough upbringing, financially speaking, so perhaps the fact that he has been earning very decent money
for several years now has both satiated him and infused him with the strength and confidence to negotiate what he feels, are more pleasurable
terms for himself.

Mr Harley, please start your own Q & A thread to share anything about bodybuilding you would like to share with us on getbig

Dear Schmoff,
  I recently came back to writing on GetBig when I saw someone started a thread about one of my client (I am a criminal defense lawyer) and there
was a courtroom picture of me with the client. Somebody facetiously asked, "Who is that GetBigger with the Defendant?" so I responded it was me.
Well, that led to a great deal of skepticism that I was a "gimmick" (just learned that term here) so I continued to write stuff.
  That thread is entitled "New Jersey Man Pleads Guilty to Hitting Friend with 25 pound dumbbell". It's recent.
  I also created a thread offering a free Craig Richardson Training Session, Seminar and Lunch. That is recent too.
  I have posted here in the past (to much dislike I might add) but would be happy to discuss things if someone would just start a thread so I can keep on track
and be focused for each topic. If each topic had a thread, I could respond more quickly and easily.
  I am always happy to share what I have experienced in my 17 years as Craig's Training Partner and friend. I have seen a great deal "behind the yellow tape"
and I owe nothing to any companies, judges or political jerks so I am free to speak my mind.
Harley

Accurate. Phil was getting about the same, half a mil a year. Left for a cool mil with this new thing. kai's the #2 BBer in the world, and way less hated than Phil.

Dear Schmoff,
I don't know how or where to "start my own Q&A thread" but if you are really interested, I would do it once someone
makes it idiot simple in terms of directions.
I would like it to stay in Gossip & Opinions as that is where I follow and I think the most people reside. Is that possible?

Guys,
Remember, the money also lies in the company's ability to control for whom the bodybuilder does photo shoots.
Some companies have relations with particular magazines and some preclude you from doing shoots for other magazines.
Some companies will only keep you if you can keep your writing gig or photo contract with another magazine.

Good for Kai. I am pleased a street guy has taken the bull by the horns and turned his life around and is now raking in the dough. I wonder if he's gonna use that money to start his own thing now like major rival Philip?

Ps Harley my good buddy what sort of money do you reckon Rich Piana is pulling in?

HarleyBreite · « **Reply #37 on:** August 18, 2015, 07:55:07 PM »

Dear Rascal full,
I have to plead ignorance as to knowing who Richard Piana is.
I see he has a thread on GetBig but the pictures don't paint a very flattering portrait of guy with much going for himself.
Again, I could be wrong, but I just glanced to see if he was someone whose physique I would admire or if the thread had hot
chicks with implants.

Are you on a typewriter or something? Your posting style is strange.

HarleyBreite · « **Reply #39 on:** August 18, 2015, 08:01:59 PM »

I am not on a typewriter, but rather, a computer just like most others.
Perhaps my "style is strange" because I am a bit obsessed with keeping proper grammar and writing style which
is not necessary on sites but it's just the way I write. I do quite a bit of writing for a living so it spills over.
Additionally, I can't criticize the current American culture for its lack of proper grammar, diction and vocabulary if
I myself, abandon it too.

Amazingly this guy is not as dumb as he looks. Quite articulate in his own way and got his own supplement company which sells worldwide.

HarleyBreite · « **Reply #41 on:** August 18, 2015, 08:06:12 PM »

Also, I have some inside news on a very big supplement company.
One of the biggest names out there has failed to pay one of its athletes, a very famous UFC star from New Jersey.
I haven't seen that written anywhere on GetBig yet so, again, remember that I wrote it first when it hits big.

Kai Greene was the reason people ever paid attention to Muscle Meds. He literally built the foundation from being the #2 bodybuilder in the world.....it definitely wasn't Craig Richardson that was doing it. In fact, I wasn't aware he was employed by the company. In addition, I would have to seriously doubt your accusation that he wasn't a company man because he was with MuscleMeds for many years. If he wasn't a team player, they would have gotten rid of him a long time ago.

Voodoo you need to up your game to keep up with Harley. He is bringing pure knowledge my brother!

HarleyBreite · « **Reply #45 on:** August 18, 2015, 08:20:22 PM »

Dear Vince,
I could not agree with you more in that, without Kai, no one would know of MuscleMeds.
I never once claimed Craig Richardson did anything to elevate the status of MuscleMeds.
The fact that you didn't know Craig was employed by MHP is ok too. It's not critical to world peace.
Being with a new company for a few years does not necessarily make you a "company man,' your actions do.
Kai is a very individualistic person and tying him down to deadlines, schedules and appointments is probably a bit
uncomfortable for him. That is in no way meant to be an insult.
And in closing, I have met Kai many times and he has been nothing short of polite and friendly to me each time.

Chuckle......MuscleMeds did 40M last year. They can afford it

MuscleMeds is part of MHP, so saying that MuscleMeds did 40M last year is a little off. they combine all of their companies into one group now, which includes Musclemeds, MHP, and Sera-Pharma, among others. They are based in New Jersey.

Kai didn't build MuscleMeds at all. They were the first to have Carnivore, which is a beef protein, which became very popular. Nothing to do with Kai. Now that others have brought out beef protein, sales have not increased like in the past.

uncomfortable for him.

There comes a time when a company and a contracted individual cannot agreed on a new contract. Kai wanted more money, less traveling, less appearances. They couldn't agree. Simple business agreement ends.

Your 480,000 a year is perhaps what he wanted to get, but not what he received.

And people say phil is a douche bag. Haha at least Phil chats with his fans and actually enjoys meeting them and showing up as opposed to Kai who sounds like a fraud, playing the nice guy, tough upbringing blah blah blah hahaha
