Mike, it's true that other films of competitors explore their lives outside of the gym & deal with lifestyle issues.  But none of them were made by the guy's brother.  I feel like you've developed that "stay hungry" feeling that drew you into the metaphysics of training & competition in a way that hadn't happened before on film.  You had perfect subjects in Dave & Jenn & your parents, the 2004 NPC Delaware & Eastern shows, & the east coast BB demimonde.  But much of what was excellent in the film was simply what you yourself captured.  That's what I was trying to get at in my review.

Well, I will say not as well as you did.  8)There ya go. 
Hey, Dave, you and Jenn still together? You still training with Victor. Oh wait, do we have to wait untill the sequel for these and other burning questions? 

ha! gonna have to wait, vic!

You review was very insightful and made me realize things about my doc that I didn't even know were there! I was very lucky with my subject matter and with the dramatic events as they unfolded, but there was also a certain amount of naivete on my part as I went into this. Combine that with my perspective as Dave's brother and maybe that's what gave RTB its unique flair. Whatever it was, I hope I can recapture some of that for RTB2.

Dave,  Looking shredded as usual.  I can't believe your eatting 4000 cal.  4000 cals... I eat that in the off season.  This is why, you will last longer in sport than I will.  Dude, i rewrote my diet yesterday, 7/9/06 to try to pull the remaining pounds off guess what my caloirie count was.  Lets,  put this way you probally eat more in two meals than I eat all day.  I have a metabolism like a bitch.... no doubt.  Train hard, TG

hey, mike. i really couldnt tell you, but i do know that one of the people that guy trains is fighting this weekend and hes most likely tied up with that. ive been waiting for him to return an email of mine for about a week now. lol!! i would say to email him at his site www.fitnetusa.com and see what he responds. i dont know what a normal turnaround time is for him sending out the dvd's.

Yo, Mike. I've ordered a DVD from Guy's site before a while back. I wanna say it took roughly a week to get to my home so I'm thinking by tomorrow you should get it.
