For contest prep, then I can understand the investment. But what % of your clients are competitive BB'ers, compared to the % of clients who are just trying to get rid of a beer gut?
I checked your website. And unless I'm just not reading between the lines, you are simply selling info, are you not? "Recommendations for supplementation and muscle building agents" and "meal plans" are just pieces of paper, not workout partners or other hands-on services.
I'm not trying to rag on your company, as you do provide valuble services to those who don't have the experience or research depth. But IMO, it's really not that hard to build a solid physique.
Actually the majority of my clients are bodybuilders looking for extreme results. I do have many clients just looking to cut up and put on some solid mass but I deal with all types of clients. Those with diabetes, hyper and hypothyroidsm, competitors, obese, etc....
You don't know anything about the programs I design so you have no basis for your criticisms at all. I don't sell information as I plan out every meal and every caloriues and every rep for my client. I don't send them a piece of paper and tell them "here you go, thanks a lot". I make every change that keeps them getting optimal results. It constantly changes as should all programs. THe results come from constant manipulation, not some piece of paper. Everyone knows how to breakdown triglycerides and oxidizee FFA's but how many people can do that succesffuly for 16 weeks while gaining strenght at the same time? Not many.
So if you don't know what is included in my programs, you don't have any basis for making the criticism that you do.
Believe me, if I was worried about every 25 year USC student ragging on my company, I would have quit by now. For you to come in here and tell others its just information when you have never even seen one of my programs is quite ridiculous to me. Saying that my clients are doing it just for convenience and implying that they are not experienced or smart enough to figure it out for themsevles it quite insulting.
See the problem with your arguement is that the majority of information on the net is 99% bullshit and marketing hype. MAny people fall for it as did I earlier in life. Only experience, education and time will weed out the misinformation and leave you with the truth. So if you want to do it that way, go for it. If not you can turn to someone that has already done it and they can point you in the right direction. As I've said all along one of my goals is for my clients to not need me anymore.
So before you come in and make your judgements on my programs and telling people what is worth their money, maybe you can come in here and judge me by what I know.
My programs aren't about information, they are about APPLYING information and weeding through the amount of bullshit that is posted ans "sold" to you as fact.
