Putnam on MTV's MADE

GoneForever · Nov 30, 2008

Made had an episode where this kid wanted to be a bodybuilder and Putnam was his trainer. I only caught the last 10min of it. I dont know shit about computers, anyone know somewhere I can watch it online? Thanks

why would you step on stage looking like that? does he have any pride?

didnt we have a thread about tools doing competitions without even lifting.

i am not that impressed with his trainers physique either, he is a mass monster with little conditioning

imo there are members on here more suitable for this hollywood type training!!! i bet he making big bucks too

The trainer Is Putnam, a member here. He Just turned pro Last weekend so Id say he know a little bit about conditioning.

yeah seen it last night w the wife and the first thing i did was say hey thats Peter from PM which was cool and the kid he trained was only at it for 8 weeks so lets give him props for getting on stage which is more than i can say and I've been at this for 8 plus years and there is no way i would even think about stepping on stage so I give that kid MAD PROPS!!!! yeah he was soft but how many guys say year after year they are gonna do this show or that show and it never happens??? I fall into it every year !!!!!

the point of the show is to push the kid and give him some self confidence. at least he stuck through the training and had the balls to get on stage. it's not about how he looked....it was about the LIFE LESSONS the kid learned and how it bettered him and really helped his self confidence.

and putnam's physique is amazing....i'd kill to look like him. he knows what he's doing...he only had 8 weeks with the kid

He is known to those of us follow bodybuilding. To not know his "tainer" made me laph. I thought you were being funny or something.
I know you follow the fighting bit more and I know very few of the fighters so I dont make fun of you when I say that. He is Professional as Muscle gets.

I get a giggle out of this thread. The show was pretty funny.
Has it occured to anyone that the lil guy got trained by PP for free. I don't know about the rest of you but I'd pay big dollars to be under PP's care in the gym for that amount of time.:'tar-wars

the kid only had 8 weeks to get ready. considering he hadn't exercised ever, he did alright. I think they said he lost like 30 pounds in 8 weeks. thats not too shabby.

the funniest line is when Peter asked him if he knew anything about bodybuilding and Cody says "yeah, they eat chicken breasts, lift weights, and walk on a treadmill for like 20 minutes a couple times a week."

They couldn't have picked a better ambassador for the sport for their program.;star-wars

I think its great when they expose bodybuilding in a positive fashion thru the media, but the kid doing the contest was a pansy.. He was winy and negative the whole time and slacked off (from what they filmed and presented on the show). Im sure it was a great experience/exposure for pump. But it looked like pump was annoyed at the kid most of the time..

I can't believe the kid. I guess MTV needs to play it up for the ratings.

Peter Putnam looks like a really good dude.

Ive seen a few of the MTV MADE shows and they all wine and cry, bitch and moan...

Like others said, For that kid to get up on stage after working out for ONLY 8 WEEKS out of his entire life is awesome... i couldnt and wouldnt. It takes real guts to know u dont look all that great, but still give it your all... i too give him props!

Meeting P at the MR. O and watching him on this show, I think he put on a bit of an act for the show. P seems a lot nicer than what he showed on the show.

pumpputnam · Dec 2, 2008

No act. There was a lot of footage where I laid into him but it was edited out. I questioned his motives for being "made" into a bodybuilder daily.

Many people seem to think the shows are scripted. There are some scenes that are staged as things have to be cordinated because of people's schedules but what happens in the footage is raw and real. Actually, about 98% of what you see came from my suggestions and the producers rolled with it cause they had no clue about bodybuilding and counted on me to ultimately direct the course of the show. The only thing I didn't have a say in was the amount of time he really needed and the show they picked.
