You think you train hard? (Dennis james)

[triple_pickle]

very unimpressive back on dj

[1stkeepitreal]

freaking dumbass... dj not known for screaming?,...he had an operation on his vocal cords just because of his screaming in the gym. stupid.

prove it........!

[Zach Trowbridge]

prove it........!

"I'm obviously still training as heavy as I can, in order to have done what I did to my vocal cords: I strained them by grunting and groaning so much that they swelled, and a polyp developed. The doctor told me I now have to avoid straining my throat when I breathe, but when I'm benching 500, I'm not thinking about breathing. I don't care where it comes from--just give me some air."

I hope 1stkeepitreal learned his lesson and will just delete his account right away next time as I advised him to do rather then continue to argue and look like a complete douche in front of thousands of people.

tell you what Milos posts here all the time....start a thread and ask Milos if DJ screams and yell in the gym as a matter of routine....if he says yes truthfully (not cuz he hates me to) RON should close my account.

Hows that???

[Stu]

He owned bodybuildingdungeon.com before he sold he.  He contributed greatly to the 90% decline in DVD sales in the industry.

When did he sell it?

Do you know how much he got for it?

I would have assumed that the direct quote I posted from Dennis admitting to having surgery as a result of grunting would have been proof enough, but hey, what do I know?

and how about his quote along the lines of yelling, shouting and screaming during training sessions is a waste of energy and a complete mental distraction....Sorry i do not the time nor inclination to find the quote.

Like I said ask Milos.......this shite is funny as hell and shows just how gullible  many of the peopple are here. believe eveything you read and hear.

To believe or not to believe me is fine......but i do keep the facts real

[gatomjp]

so he's a no-good bootlegger who cost you a lot of money?

When there are no more good BB videos being produced you can thank him and people like him for destroying the incentive to produce good work.

[240 is Back]

LOL @ anyone who needs throat surgery because they yell too much.

[sgt. d]

Yes - at least $10,000 a year.  I went from making a comfortable income on my website from 2004-2006 to making under $30,000 this year according to projections that I've calculated.  Now my website is a ghost town.  I would rather collect whatever I make off it than actually work on it and feel that I'm getting less than I deserve.  The way I see it, if I spend one hour a week on it and make 25K, my work will be worth close to $500 an hour.

Once he told me 30K and another time he told me he got two years' revenue for it with monthly revenue at mid $XXX per month (roughly 12K).  So he got between 12K-30K.  Either figure seems realistic to me.  I wouldn't sell my website for under two years revenue, so no less than around 50K or so.

That sucks.

So you plan getting a 9-5?

[gordiano]

That sucks.

There's always gay-4-pay......

Thats true but MattC is very picky with men. They have to meet his height standards.

[natural al]

I talked to DJ at the arnold and I asked him about that guy all he did was laugh and say how crazy that guy was.  I think that shit was staged.

I can definitely understand your frustration as a result of the bootlegging. 

[gatomjp]

Yes, it's extremely frustrating.  But the light at the end of the tunnel for me was just giving up and moving on to other things in the meantime.  For example, I've done more individual website projects this summer, one for a grocery store which basically covered my food bill this summer as payment.    I'm the kind of person who will always find work I'm suited for no matter what the circumstance.

Does this mean I'm not getting my review of RTB2??   

[gatomjp]

I said I would do it and I will follow through with that and if I don't, I will pay you for the DVD.

Do you find sales of RTB2 are lower than those of RTB1?

Hard to say. It's too soon to tell. It took a while for RTB1 to take off.

Don't sweat the review or the DVD! I was just personally looking forward to hearing what you thought of it. You don't need to do some big elaborate thing if you are busy right now. If you want to just write a few lines and post them here or send me a PM, that would be cool. I can use them as a blurb in my advertising.

"Matt Canning of bodybuildingpro.com says...'It's better than all the Die Hards and the Lord of the Rings put together!!!"   

[sgt. d]

Poor MattC

[Livewire]

It sucks.  But I am an adaptive type of person so in the end I'll end up better off for it, but 2007 has sucked so far.  Looked at another way, at least I had the intelligence to buy a car and pay off almost all my house debt when things were really rolling.  I think in a year I'll be grateful for this experience.

matt c,

would you punch robert cockrill in the face if you ever met him?

[Pete Dimano]

matt c,

would you punch robert cockrill in the face if you ever met him?

LOL~  Bump for "Would Matt C punch Robert Cockring in the face?"

[Livewire]

No...I'm more of a diplomat.  And the truth is, if he hadn't done what he did, somebody else would have.  He just rode the trend at the time.  That's like blaming guns for deaths when murders would happen with other weapons if guns didn't exist.  I am upset at the whole situation though, but I'll bounce back and be even stronger than before.

LOL!!!!!!

I dunno dude... if cockring took my livelihood, I'd be taking a rowboat to england and donkeypunching him.  that's just me though.
