I don’t think Dave will pull a video because Kroc got a check. He didn’t name names, so it’s really pretty harmless.

Bigger, Faster, Stronger* fired Christian Boeving for saying that their fat burner wasn’t all he was taking, and word on the street is they got REAL pissed at Jay Cutler as well.

If Matt asks Dave to pull a video, I doubt Dave would be a dick about it.

What’s is of?? I’m at work.

Matt giving his opinion of supplements - how the majority of garbage, the companies are just after money, food should be your main concern, and he only takes a post-workout shake which may not be necessary.

It’s funny how he talks about people coming up to him and asking what supplements he takes. I have had that happen increasingly at the booty-n’-mirrors gym I go to. I usually just say I drink a gallon of whole fat milk per day- which is true.

I’m not sure what to make of these questions though. Is this a round about way of asking me if I know where to score drugs. Or are these guys still under the impression that glutamine and NOxplode are actually going to make a difference.[/quote]

I honestly think it’s the latter

He says it about 10 seconds into the video.

If you ever go to a FAME fitness model contest, I doubt you’ll have any trouble finding homosexuals. Same goes for bodybuilding shows. I’m really not surprised.

You do know Boeving posed for Playgirl, right?

lol so why was this thread put way back on page 4 with threads that hadn’t been posted in since the 12th?

Matt’s photoshoot is today!

I think its people looking for the magic pill or magic combination. You know. The easiest way.

I didnt know that, actually. I’m not surprised that theres a gay audience for this stuff, I guess I’m just surprised because it usually isnt this blatant.

Is that what happened? I got home today and wanted to watchthe boeving video (couldnt at work) and had to search for it through threads I’d posted in because i couldnt find it

Someone post up the pictures from his shoot when they are available, I’m curious to see where they go with this.

There will be more of them, theyll all be ages 15-17, and wearing lifting gloves.[/quote]

Still, having beginners squatting, benching, and deadlifting can’t be all bad.

Bodybuilders do all that.

If Ronnie Coleman’s sponsorship doesn’t have N.O. Xplode drinkers squatting then I doubt Kroc, someone they’ve never heard of, will convince them otherwise.

thats the whole point of supplement marketing, they want you to believe that with their product you’ve found a shortcut or an edge so you can continue your dopey workouts but now you can make progress because youre taking their magic product now.

supplements are horseshit. i think theres some that do the trick, the basics; creatine, protein, multi-vits, even fish oil. but those concoction things with all those 4 syllable word, yeah im not buying it…literally.

when i first got into lifting like many i didnt know anything. i was doing b.s. workouts but wanted more, so i figured if i took like stuff like BSN’s vaso-dialater and all their other balogna i would look jacked, i never took their garbage but came pretty close. i mean when you their ads every other page in a muscle mag, even a men’s fitness, it starts getting into your head and want to give it a shot (marketers know this thats why they do it).

i dont think it says anything bad about Kroc though. the guy needs money, we all do and i doubt anyone who wouldnt have taken those supplements before are going to take them now just because he’s on it. its just going to be the same people. hes taking a slice of cake from one that was already made, he isnt whisking the eggs or adding the sugar.

I’m pretty sure most of the guys doing a machine circuit every day in the gym would tell you differently. Bodybuilding as it is and bodybuilding as beginners think it is are two different things. Powerlifting, on the other hand, is pretty hard to separate from the big three.

But I take your point. Matt is going to do sweet fuck-all to change want you see going on in your gym every day.

Someone tells Matt he “sold out”

I never understood that whole “selling out” thing. Aren’t you supposed to want to make money?

I think Matt handled it well. Seemed like a calm answer at least.

The guy is trying to make a living, has a great opportunity … meh, there are always haters on either side. I’m happy for him.
