Shark Tank: Fight Club Body

Lean Muscle Fitness Testimonials

“I’ve been following his advice for half a year now. Last week, I went to the park to feed the pigeons. I’m so skinny, the pigeons fed ME instead. Thanks to Rusty, no more inflated food bills.” - Michael

“The past years, I’d been slacking in the gym. Taking the easy way out. Squatting, deadlifting, rowing, building muscle. Eating large amounts of food, supplementing, sleeping 8 to 10 hours a day. Thanks to Rusty, I finally had the balls to accept the ultimate challenge. Getting toned. It may only be for the dangerously hardcore, but once you’ve completed half an hour on the stationary bike, you’ll never look back. CAN YOU HANDLE IT?” - Meat

“Leave Rusty ALOOOOOOOONE!” - Chris

“I always thought, like, the current Hollywood sex symbols are so attractive to the chicks because they are, like, confident, rich and, like, famous. Thanks to Rusty, I know it’s because they are, like, skinny and stuff.” - Bob

“Thanks to Rusty, I stopped wasting my time with Olympic lifting. 4 weeks on the James Bond workout changed my life. The whores don’t charge me anymore because they love my toned body and six pack abs. The Moroccans wouldn’t dare mess with someone who looks like Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. Most important of all, always eating less calories than I burn off gives me a lot o’ powa.” - Kliplemet

“Yeah, buddy! Thanks to Rusty, I finally fit into stylish clothes and those designer Fanny Packs that always had been to small for me. YOU can develop a lean and toned body that appeals to the opposite sex too. Ain’t nothing but a peanut.” - Ronnie

HAHAHAHA. The Ronnie one was the best.

I like how he turns pussybitch everytime someone who’s a football player or meathead tells him so and that he fails. I guess he doesn’t want to get his ass kicked.

A-Dizz said:
My biggest pet peeve with you is that you make it out to seem that anyone with appreciable muscle mass is a meathead, and that it’s oh so easy for people to achieve the “meathead” physique.

You say that it’s easier to gain LBM than it is to lose fat. That’s true in the sense that you don’t have to be as strict with your diet when gaining, and that you have to do little to no cardio. That in and of itself is misleading though, because it actually takes much more time to build any level of quality lean mass than it is to lose fat. Anyone can lose ~20 lbs of fat in 3 months or so, but to gain 20 lbs of muscle takes much longer and requires just as much, if not more dedication.

Who do you think puts in more hard work, and subsequently gets more girls, the 145lb lean guy, or the 195 lb lean guy?

That’s the end of my rant for now. Feel free to open this up for debate.

Magnate good job telling that clown how it is.

He is anti-bodybuilding, but isnt trying to get a hollywood body still fucking bodybuilding? What a cluster fuck and I he can suck my bosu balls.

He is the assclown you see in the gym inventing new exercises because the good ole lifts are too hard.

It cracks me up to read all the posters at his site defending him, they all forget that their hollywood idols are 5’4 and 125lbs but on a movie theater screen they look jacked.

Where can I buy some MC Hammer pants to lift in just to piss these tools off?[/quote]

He’s actually a nice guy off of his site, he’s emailed me a few times since I posted on that site. He’s just pandering to an audience that strives to be stunningly average, as does he. When he is off his site he’s a bit more respectful towards bodybuilding from what I’ve seen.

Still a prick.

What I find laughable is that he only rains to looks like that for women. I’m sorry, but if your sole means of lifting is for the approval of the opposite sex, then you really are a superficial loser. The fact that he qualifies his stance everytime with “because the ladies like it” shows he’s an insecure little boy.

Agreed. Make a reply to one of his “articles” about that, he might make it into it’s own post lol. This was a reply to his “dear bodybuilding dork” article where he thanked bodybuilders for grunting and other equally pointless jabs at those who work hard.

From MAGNATE

Ok, you want a serious reply?

I’ll do my best to articulate why I label myself as a bodybuilder and feel this site is a joke. Hope this is okay with you, if not take it down again.

I go in the gym 4-5 days a week usually, I lift heavy some weeks, lighter other weeks (i cycle these phases to allow for CNS recuperation). I do this not to get a body that women find “attractive”, that is merely a side affect. My goal is to be a size that, I admit, most women probably will not find that pleasing, I don’t care. My motivation has never been getting checked out, although once again - it is a nice side affect. I do this for myself, not to please anyone else but myself. I started at 119lbs 5’8" tall, skinny, barely eating, by all accounts a twig. I am now 183lbs 5’8.5" tall (roughly), and still around 8% BF.

I feel better, I am stronger, I know I look better, I am happier and healthier for this. Your blog however, perpetuates an idea that all bodybuilders are “meatheads” to borrow your own term, in there to impress other people. We are not all there for that, but some undeniably are. Those people are not unique to bodybuilders however, you are indeed one of those people there to impress people (as evident by your many articles here), you just have a different idea of what is impressive. Please do not exempt yourself from this category of meatheads just in the gym to look better for the girls, you are clearly a part of that crowd, just smaller.

On to another point you like to repeat here. Girl’s find excess muscle to be a turnoff. I’ve yet to reach a size that makes this so, I have no doubt if I am walking around like Marcus Ruhl in contest shape, however that it will become true. You have many articles about how certain exercises build an ugly physique. Deadlifts help build a nice thick back, Bench press build strong shoulders and arms, squats nice legs and ass. Where is the ugly physique in there? If I was only doing those 3 exercises, than yes I would quickly become disproportionate, but why do you assume that is the case? The bench press overdevelops the lower chest? No, it hits the lower chest more than the upper of course, but the only way to cause an imbalance between the two is if I were to neglect incline chest work, which I don’t.

You seem to operate off the assumption that everyone here is ignorant and has no experience. Half your articles make outrageous claims with no substantiation behind them. On any site where people had real time under the bar, you’d be shouted down every time you wrote something like this article. Intensity breeds progress, and judging by your self proclaimed 19 years of training, you need more intensity.

I have passed your development in a mere 2 years? Why is that so? If you are happy with where you are, great. I certainly don’t expect everyone to share my goals, but I do expect you to keep your opinions regarding my goals to yourself unless I (or anyone else) asks you specifically about those goals. If I came on your site asking if I should still bulk at 190lbs, then comment away. As that is not the case, shut your mouth and keep your training dogma to yourself, it’s offensive to those of us that, heaven forbid, do grunt in sets sometimes. We don’t do it because we are trying to impress (to reiterate), or trying to get attention.

If I’m grunting in the gym, it is because there is a heavy object that needs moving, and yes, grunting can help. Get under a 400lb bar and try to do a full Squat without grunting. Pick up 500lbs off the floor without a grunt. I don’t purposely censor myself at risk of offending someone in the gym, if I am disturbing you with my grunts, approach me and tell me so, I will do my best to not disturb you anymore , but do not make any assumption as to why I am grunting.

Truth be told, when I am in the gym, I don’t want your attention, I don’t want you or anyone else’s eyes on me in the gym, except a spotter if need be. Your attention is meaningless to me, I don’t go around flexing to get people to stare, I know of nobody who takes up multiple machines unless they are running a superset, and maybe I like my damn 80s clothes (kidding, I lift in jeans and a t shirt usually).

Keep to yourself.

This one pisses me off the most of all articles on his site probably.

That’s a great list of inaccuracies and stereotypes. It’s all to push his point of view and agenda.

After reading that I just think this guy has incredibly high levels of estrogen in his body.

I mean how can training in a gym that has the atmosphere of a prison yard NOT be cool?

Goddamnit. They take one of the greatest movies of all time and boil it down to “WANT TO LOOK LIKE BRAD PITT???”

Forget the philosophy. It’s all about the abs.

Assholes.

Dude, you should have seen it coming. I mean, it’s Brad Pitt. Women were ga-ga for him even before this.

To keep the philosophy of the movie intact, an unknown actor would have to play the part. That would take the Pitt bias out of the picture completely.

I know… but he did such a fucking awesome job playing Tyler Durden. I know few that could have pulled it off like he did… plus, being an alter ego and what not, they kind of had to have the best looking dude play him, or else it kind of fucks up the theory of the split personality being what he wants to be.

Ahh fuck it.

The ending ruined that movie.

I’m gonna shoot myself in the head and live, just to kill some soap making alter ego that lives in my basement. Tee-hee-hee.

Well you can boil any movie down to a goofy one line sentence that makes it sound shitty.

He put a brand new hole in his head…and looked as if nothing more happened than getting punched in the face.

The ending would have been great…if he didn’t live.

He did an awesome job, no doubt. It’s just that being Pitt with a long list of fawning women fans, it was only time that the movie was forgotten, but his appearance remembered.

Lets invite him to T-Nation.

My favorite part is where he says to not focus on strength, but I think I linked the wrong article. Oh well.
