That Whole Louis Dorman Thing

Off Topic
1

Did any of you guys hear about this?

Apparently this guy was quite obese and dropped a load of weight through weight training and proper diet. Anyway the whole thing started with his post on bodybuilding.com which included before and after pictures.

It grew into a gigantic thread and the guy has quite a few fans. It appears he was hired by bb.com (or some supplement company) to endorse some products and after all of this it turns out that his after pic was photoshopped - he added abs and about 20 pounds of overall mass to himself. I mean, the guy definitely got lean and has a bit of muscle to boot, but he has no six-pack and looks considerably less impressive in the undoctored photo.

Seems a lot of people are pretty upset that the guy duped them. Even though he did drop the weight and get into decent shape, the misrepresentation of his actual physique is really rubbing people the wrong way - particularly when the guy puts himself up there as some sort of fat-loss guru (he runs his own site now)endorsing products and writing articles about how he achieved…well, basically shit he didn’t actually achieve. And he’s presenting photoshopped pics? - Pretty underhanded I think.

On page 41 of the thread about 6 posts down someone did a flash comparison of the before and after photo untouched and shopped - unreal that someone would do that, but when you see it it’s ridiculous how much he changed his physique.

Anyway it’s called “Before and After…250+ and now 160.” on page 3 of their forums about halfway down if anyone wants to see this for themselves.

What do you guys think about the whole thing? And has anyone else seen the thread & pics?

I had always wondered why his after photo looked so damn odd/weird, I guess it makes sense now. I am not sure of the huge gravitation he received I never understood the amazement of it all.

You had to work (well in some sort of way) to become an obese fat fuck, therefore you do work and lose what you had gained. It’s not exactly beating cancer here it’s simply common sense almost, but the bandwagons are always waiting to carry some other pseudo-“hero”. Perhaps people should stop trying to look at others in an attempt to motivate themselves, not everyone is as honest and clean as you can imagine.

Here you go.

I remember that guy. I used to browse the bb.com forums back when I first started lifting. He had a huge thread from pictures of his weightloss results (never knew they were “enhanced” until now) to advice on approaching women. Photoshopped or not, his results are still impressive and, apparently, life changing. Although, I wish he hadn’t doctored his photos. That looks especially bad now that he’s endorsing products.

Isn’t every single person of celebrity status altered visually and any other way now? It seems when they want to build you up everyone is editing you completely (no one talks of the Playboy Playmates who have more photoshoping than a anime movie). I am not saying this is right or good but just noticing how it is spread completely.

I think it’s all illogical and faulty human behavior. No one helps people for the sheer love of helping, not Oprah, not you or me, there is always intrinsic or obvious facets to gain in the process (even if it makes *you feel good *you). I think he is a bit off mentally insecure yet over compensates by trying to look superior and like the red blooded girls banging quarterback.

I still feel the people who nuthug and become followers aren’t much better. I mean honestly and this applies to Jared or any other mascot, they are rewarded for DOING WHAT THEY SHOULD DO. Wow he lost weight and has a girlfriend now, that’s what a hero is? A person who maintains a normal bodyweight is a hero? Give me a break, it’s necessary vanity and nothing more.

PS. BB.com is a troll paradise and dumb-ass haven, I forgot how bad it is. You have neo-nazi posts, adolescent moron shit et cetera.

Here is a quote from Louis Dorman which I think sums him up a bit more. Try not to laugh.

[quote][b]Dude, I just don’t really care to spend much time answering questions from people like you. I have about 150 e-mails to respond to and a personal website with over 600 members that have created their own lifestyle journal that I give positive comments on. I am a weight loss spokesman for bb.com I was in 1 page, 2 page and 3 page ads that featured my “Rules”…my before/after photos were in the ads. - Mags such as Menshealth, MensJournal, Flex,FHM,Maxim, Muscle&Fitness,Muscle Development,IronMan and a few others.

Oh yea, it’s insane. But I surf it occasionally for amusement, and there are a few good posters over there. Mostly it’s a shitstorm of idiocy though.

Yea. Playboy playmates, celebs - it’s common practice now. But adding 20 pounds of mass, leaning yourself out and adding abs and serratus muscles is pretty over the top tampering.

Just odd that someone who did accomplish something good would tarnish it with a stunt like this. Another year of solid training may have given him that look for real.

As it is now he comes off as a weasel.

I hear you bro’ the difference is he told everyone that was exactly him, while others getting photoshopped make no claim.

It was definitely weasel-like and his ego is very alarming, it’s bigger than the circumference of Professor X’s arms.

He got what he deserved.

His I-Life is ova’!

11

Not a bad job on the photoshopping though.

12

The sad thing is that it didn’t have to be done. What he accomplished was amazing in itself, and the photoshopping didn’t add much.

It’s also been argued that he had nothing to do with the photoshopping that occurred; it was “The Company” that featured him?

Oh well…I admit knowing only bits and pieces of the story…

By the way…

This episode gained the guy a large group of VERY aggressive “haters” who are relentless and don’t let up for a second.

The guys at “T-Nation” can tell you what a burr-in-the-saddle that can be…

Man - the amount of free crap etc. he got for that!

If you’ll all excuse me I have to go plan how best to whore out my before/after pics…

15

Sorry about “bumping” this…

But does ANYONE know what happened to Louis…and what is he doing now?

He really accomplished a lot…and that “Photoshop” fiasco (which I understand was done by others) was regrettable…
