No offense nova but how is it possible that the weight of the DB was right, but yours is wrong (I mean 20 pounds)? Weren’t you asked to use a DB to prove the scales measurement?
Maybe the new scale is wrong? :X
Just curious, greetings stefan
I was thinking the same exact thing, because if your old scale verified that it was right by putting the plate or DB on, then this one must be way off. Also, how about getting a new food scale? That one seems way off too.
Go back a page or two and read my post…I used to calibrate things like this and it is normal for these things to be inaccurate in the bottom and top 10% of range. The fact that the scale checked out with a 5# dumbbell does not mean the scale was right…it means he didn’t use enough weight to get into its real working range; so you still can’t tell whether or not it was accurate.[/quote]
This is very true. I used to have a crappy scale like novagreg’s in high school that I used for wrestling. If you tried to calibrate it with a ten pound weight, it was off in the range where I’d weigh in at. When I adjusted it so that it was most accurate at my weight range, you’d put the 10 pound weight on it and it would say it was 6 pounds.
Novagreg - sometimes people achieve the most in life when everyone around them doubts what they can do. Use all of this as motivation.
No offense, but why does nova blot out his face in all the pictures, to me it says he is ashamed of something and or trying to hide it.
Honestly, this PC only became interesting AFTER everyone started speculating on how you haven’t lost a single pound (cause your pics sure don’t look like you have).

Well in reality, we have only seen Gus and Bartls faces. Crews pics start below his chin, and I think trojan had a face pic once. I don’t see the big deal with that one.
While I understand the frustration that people are feeling about Greg still being a participant in the clinic, I don’t understand why people are saying that this one individual is going to ruin the reputation of T-Nation, Biotest Supplements, and those of the coaches.
If you consider that out of the five males (including Bizarre who dropped out), three of them have made outstanding progress and all four females have made outstanding progress too, it just doesn’t make sense to base the success/failure on one person.
I think CT and CS are doing the right thing by trying the last-ditch effort of the V-Diet. If anything, it will put everything out in the open. Not only is the V-Diet a strict as hell program, but it also has shown measurable results. Only at the end of it will we know if Greg has truly been putting in the work and dedication that is needed for being in the clinic.
Greg. You can do it man. Make everyone shut the hell up.
Honestly, before sending 400 bucks+ of supps, he should go to the doctor cause if he REALLY is following the diet and exercise program and not losing (or gaining weight) then he really does need to see a physician.
I know youre angry right now. As you should be, trust me that anger will fuel your V-Diet phase. So embrace it! Take everything people are saying and prove them wrong.
I seriously would get to the doctor, regardless of the fact that people want answers. Do it for you, no one else, to cover your bases just in case something isnt right.
The V-Diet is an ass kicker at first, but it gets easy. Im sure you’ll do just fine.

I’ve heard that there are some assholes out there with decent Photoshop skills who will cut out your face or your body and paste it into a “compromising” scene or position. They’ll then email it to your boss or family or post it on a Web page. Perhaps Greg is being a bit overcautious, but after reading some of these vicious posts, I don’t blame him.
I consider privacy rights a big deal and if Greg chooses not to reveal himself on a forum I really don’t have a problem with that. It’s like people have nothing better to do than go through Greg’s thread and find every little thing that’s wrong.
Learn from this and don’t let opportunities pass you by.
Be sure to communicate constantly with your coaches. Maybe if you are typing out your thoughts and emotions you can figure out what is stalling you. Bartl is asking Shugs for psych evals, why don’t you give it a try?
This thread has less replies than the other 3 guys’. That is because your log is boring. Notice how the last 3 pages have happened in a few days simply because of the controversy?
Make your log more interesting and more people will support you. The other guys have thoughts/feelings/pictures etc and it makes people want to go back and check their threads.
On the other hand when I used to check on the physique clinics I would check yours last because I knew I probably wouln’t see much difference.
Like I sai before, use this to motivate yourself and I’m sure that ALL of the sceptics would LOVE you to succeed and to prove us wrong.
Greg print out all of the douchbag comments, all the bullshit blogs, all the dumbass wild ebay accustions and wallpapper your house with them. Read that shit EVERY morning FIRST thing when you get up and keep that fire burning for the entire time you are on this diet. In the end you will be able to tell everyone to kiss your ass…

Maybe this time Greg will show us something, stranger things have happened. How about this? But this time, instead of telling us about how you’re “not gonna let us down” and how you’re “fucking pissed now”, and doing nothing; for once, actually man-up and follow through on what you say you’ll do. Nothing you’ve done so far suggests you can do so.

Colin may have a point here…Not to dwell on the negatives; but this one bitch friend of my wife’s, said to my wife a couple times something to the effect “why does he spend so much time weight lifting?..he needs to get on a treadmill and lose some weight. What, does he think he’s a bodybuilder?” To which my wife responded something to the effect that although overweight, I was solid as a brick and very strong. I guess her friend just rolled her eyes and said “He’s not solid.”
I think of that bitch every time I’m on the treadmill doing my fasted cardio. I’ve lost 35 pounds since I’ve seen that bitch and have uncovered a lot of muscle; but I hope I don’t see her again for another 30 pounds so her jaw just drops when she sees me next…fucking bitch.
