THIS SITE LATELY ... TOO MUCH POSITIVITY

[FRACASO NEGATIVO]

In light of all of the good feelings and positivity here on pro muscle, I'm considering possibly changing my name to Fracaso Positivo.

Seriously though, I just thought I would chime in and say that I wish you all could get the chance to meet and get to know Phil in person. He is just a really good guy - one of the most honest and sincere people I've ever met. He's really very humble and is genuinely interested in helping people. As much as I have gotten from him with regard to training and supplements, I have gotten just as much with regard to how I look at myself and how I deal with others. I'm proud to consider him a friend.

I have known Phil for almost 3 years now and he's had a lot of ups and downs in that time. Besides the stuff he has shared on here, there have been other tough things he has had to deal with. He got in a big fight in the gym about a month ago with a guy who was upset over the lack of paper towels in the men's room and, just last week, he was openly berated by a local female pilates instructor because she felt his desire to offer a weekly pilates class in the gym was ill advised. But, no matter what, big Phil always bounces back.

Okay, now that I've gotten that out of my system, I promise there will be no more positivity from Fracaso Negativo. By the way, has anyone heard anything more about the Vander V DVD release? I'm really, really, really anxious to have a look at that.

LOL, J you friggin' kill me... I would have paid large amounts of money to see Phil with the paper towel guy. You have to start keeping a video camera in your Car J. We need some of this stuff on tape. How's it been going man, long time since I talked to you last.

You know only postives will repel each other. Maybe we should keep some negatives on this board to keep things from flying apart?

Naw you don't need a counselor.....a .357 works better. I had a female client at my gym that was more intent on telling me how to run my biz rather than train......long story short, I handed her her keys one day and said ......It's been nice baby, but I think you should train at the other gym". I think she'd been to a gym all of about 3 months and of course knew more about training and nutrition than this entire board!! She stormed out in a huff and took her BF, whom we called "puffing Billy" with her!! I was getting some bad ass stares from Puffing Billy as he walked out!! Scared the hell out of me . Phil we need to start a stories from gym owners thread! This would be a killer. BTW, did you get more paper towels yet? People are funny!
