To be honest, I don't think the GNC route is all it's cracked up to be.

I concur. I think your real sales are going to come from sites like AM and stores like BB, NP, DA, etc......People that are enthusiasts and are serious about their supplements. GNC caters to the general public.............
 
But on the wholesale side, a sale to GNC or vitamin shop is measured in thousands of units all at once, creates a nice big cash influx

I Walk Beside You

[Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics: John Petrucci]

There's a story in your eyes
I can see the hurt behind your smile
For every sign I recognize
Another one escapes me

Let me know what plagues your mind
Let me be the one to know you best
Be the one to hold you up
When you feel like you're sinking

Tell me once again
What's beneath the pain you're feeling
Don't abandon me
Or think you can't be saved

I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you

Summon up your ghosts for me
Rest your tired thoughts upon my hands
Step inside this sacred place
When all your dreams seem broken

Resonate inside this temple
Let me be the one who understands
Be the one to carry you
When you can walk no further

Tell me once again
What's below the surface bleeding
If you've lost your way,
I will take you there

I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you

Oh, where everything is wrong
Oh, where hopelessness surrounds you
Oh, the sun will rise again
The tide you swim against
Will carry you back home
So don't give up
Don't give in

I walk beside you
Wherever you are
Whatever it takes
No matter how far
Through all that may come
And all that may go
I walk beside you
I walk beside you

There is a video that is being played in the backdrop of the stage. It's a view of a mans feet walking in a field and the view is looking down at his footsteps as if a video camera was at his own eye taking the video.

And...after reading the lyrics of this song and knowing the song and embracing it then seeing it for the first time...

...it was the boy in the picture I posted looking down at the feet as he is held in the arms of that man.

The backdrop video is the exact image of that man's legs and feet in the first picture. That boy is me. I never knew him. It was my father.

At that show I broke down in tears and cried like a baby.

How does someone produce "Images and Words" that are yours?

What do you do with the supps you get that you aren't particularly using that month? I've wondered about the "life of a rep"

Well.....

I use a few AN products religiously, or cycle between them, and my wife uses the Lipo-PM. I've traded a few products, and I've given away quite a few, not just in the contests but to board members and people I think could benefit from them. Doing my part to promote the company and spread the name. It's sometimes time consuming, but fun. (When the wife isn't angry that so much of my time is spent on here... the Lipo-PM I provide her is not enough to keep her at bay..... lol)

Lanbane isn't a half-assed rep like a lot of these companies have............. lol

You like p-slin at all? anything you feel like swapping for a bottle? I'm sort of a hyper-responder apparently, for me the pumps on it are enough to make my workout worse on the upper body days, but if I lower the carbs instead I end up feeling dizzy or nauseous. Anabolic Pump or Yellow Gold i'm fine on. So now i'm down to taking it just on lower body days, so 6-7 a month.
 
I'm almost scared to try it.... yellow gold and anabolic pump gave me scary mean, turn me inside out, power dumps. And belly fat. I am an anti-responder.

I would get nauseous a lot in the morning with yellow gold. I think it had to do with what I was using as a carb source. I was trying to use up these flavored, instant oatmeal packets which have a decent amount of sugar in them. So from 60g of oatmeal I think it was 20-30g sugar and it just didn't feel good. But with all complex stuff now, everything seems fine.
 
With pslin, on upper body days, my bicep + tricep pumps are so heavy by the time I get to them that I have to drop my working weight significantly to make it thru my normal sets/reps. I guess its not a bad thing, but I don't really like it either. Being specific, I normally do bb curls with 55/62.5/67.5/75/50 lbs for 12/10/8/6/12, to make it with p-slin I have to knock at least 10lbs off each of those. I feel like a little girl doing a BB curl of 40 lbs. With YG and complex carbs its just right for me, I get a bit of a pump, but nothing crazy.

This is what I get to work with for my job until it's decommissioned at the end of next month.

You could try decreasing the volume and possibly increasing the frequency of training so that you might be able to use heavier weights.

only if I haven't already chewed off the eraser...


Yeah, I just sorta think that altering my workout to fit a supplement seems kinda silly. I had gotten 3 bottles of pslin, already traded one off, and I can still use the open one on lower body days (the pumps dont seem to bother me on them as badly). So i'm looking to trade off the last unopened one maybe for some IGF-2 ;)

That's right, I remember that stuff being mentioned. I've had to do lots of skimming lately.

But in that case, I wouldn't think you'd be getting too much of pumps with that low calories. Except the pslin is once a day, right? So I guess that would do it if your once a day meal is huge in carbs and your body has to compensate so much from being depleted.

I remember the combination of a large carb meal + yellow gold + depleted state, it felt awesome.

Easy, I can't help ya there, but PM buff, themyth, ugab, or outside backer.... you might be able to sweet talk it out of them ;)
 
And besides, I think I must have hit almost 1600 calories today. Hmm 400 for morning shake, 150 for post, 250 for lunch, another 200 for a shake afternoon, and dinner around 250. Well crap, nope, 1250 so far. well, plus around 100 cal of oils from CLA + fishoil. So 1350, probably another 150 for a shake later. Mind you thats me hitting 175g of protein in that :D

That 100g of oats/WMS/sweet potato is HARD to eat for me. That is more than I've gotten in on an average day carb wise for the last 6 months.

Dude, you haven't seen supercomputing. I've built a grid computing center for a university in my day, that's supercomputing. Think my workstation and 127 other's like it, with 250 TB of storage and a 512GB switching backplane.

He will only reach full-assed status once in the glory of oiling up rep babes for photo shoots on a regular basis.
