Thumbs down Enough of Louie Dorman's crap!!!

Sorry for that but I just read the last Flex and stumbled upon an Louie Dorman ad.

nothing wrong with the guy . he lost a lot a fat and gained some muscle. However...

if you check Louie previous articles on www.bodybuilding.com you can see a pic of him (quite lean , arms open ) . He still got some bitch tits and absolutely no abs. Next thing you know he publishes his " Ten rules" articles and what do you see on top? no bitch tits and super etched abs. thanks Photoshop!!

I sent the guy an email asking for some explanation...of course no answer.

And I wont tell you about his macho attitude towards women...How can this guy give advice when he's a proven cheater?

Go get some abs Louie!!

For someone to make that kind of transformation is amazing, very few people would be able to stick at it for such a long time to achieve what he did, at least show him some respect.

As for his attitude, I won't judge because I have never met him. He seems like a nice enough guy on the forums.

Anyway, I'm sure he gets a lot of emails from people asking for help, so he probably doesn't have time to tend with them all.

Mondesi made a huge transformation. I agree that the photoshopped pics and making him the poster boy of bb.com is a little over the top... but it's not his fault. People just want to cash in on him.

Give the guy respect. You don't have to read his articles if you don't want to.

It is over the top but that doesn't mean he shouldn't get recognition. As far as I'm concerned, the more transformation articles are out there, the better. People need to know that it is possible to drop the fat and start anew. Too many people are just giving up and/or blaming their genetics, a faulty and dangerous outlook on their bodies.

Props to Mondesi for the record.

The only thing that irritates me about this guy is that he acts like he is such a stud because he poses with these girls that are only posing with him because the cash-people behind him are telling or paying them to. After all, he's still an ugly turd.

Some of you guys are being a little harsh i think.
I dont know why flex magazine would want to photoshop his photo as the last time i seen one of him he looked great!

You got to understand that pretty much all big magazines photoshop images, they'r not only changing Mr.Dorman's image, they've probably photoshopped all types of stars, who are in great shape, just so that the image is perfect for the magazine.

No need for badmouthing and name calling in my opinion.

Wow .... You guys are Offically morons

Yes mondesi is getting a bit to much credit (but I don't think he minds since hes getting payed for it [I think] and stuff)

And its not like many of the articles on the main site are even useful to you unless your a babyboomer or want super biceps haha.

So why are you all whining?

Oh ya btw

Ummm ... How do I break this to you ......

Oh ya ... Those pictures are like 2 years old, the pictures he uses on the site are HIS pictures, he posted them long before he was getting any props for his weight loss. Hell I remember half those pictures from the first page of his thread. Do you really think that he went out and hired models to take pictures with him since he lost weight. He had no idea he would be getting the recognition for what he did, so why would he bother wasting money to hire models. Some of the newer pictures may be with models, but IIRC the blonde is his girlfriend, has been for a while.

Oh wait, he just wants to impress the people at bodybuilding.com, my bad lets keep flaming

Wow what a little baby. Louis's transformation is truely inspirational, and quite honestly, I would have never made it as far as I have without him. I never ever realized that I could one day look like that, with as much fat as I had on my body. I thougth I was just destined to look like that, and maybe I could drop some pounds, but never have abs. I have now lost over 130 pounds, and feeling the best I have ever felt in my life. Thanks to him.

As for the thing with the women, what he speaks is absolutely true. Tried and tested right here. You have to be confident, and a little cocky wtih females our age. (lower to mid 20s) They do not want another chump who compliments them all the time, what fun is that? You have to be able to disagree wtih a girl, tell her no, just plain and simple making it challenging. If not, then your being a fake pussy, and lieing to yourself.

Stop whining. He deserves the credit he has been receiving. Ohh and as for the pictures, paid chicks? LMAO!!! Im guessing youve not been to a bar or club lately. Its not that hard to talk to females, and take pictures with them.

Exclamation

It seems the point is missed here... Louie's transformation is amazing. He changed his physique from from a huge 350 lbs to a lean 190 lbs but it doesnt not explain why he photoshoped his bitch tits and gave himself fake abs. He should be proud of what he's done and not make ppl believe he's got a friggin six packs like Ahmad Haidar ( moreover the photoshop work aint so great).. Being 350 lbs leaves traves ( i.e bitch tits ) even after slimming down.

and about the girls's hype , man there are just pictures. Go into any bar, wave some cash and offers all girls a drink, they'll all come around for a pic. There's no mystery here.. Louie's acting like a ladies man but as someone said he still look like a turd.

And for the one who will say that I'm a frustated jealous bloke, I've posted some pics of mine in the pro-bod forum some time ago. I really get all the chicks that I want and I dont brag about it.

what irates me is that louie lies about his physique, gives false hope the overweight nerdy guys ( about girls ). It's not how you look that impress girls, it's how you are. Some really ordinary looking bloke with potbelly get stunning women because they have confidence, style, sense of humor , ahem money...

well u guys got the point.

Not necessarily. I was 395lbs. at one point and I had them, I don't deny it. But now I'm 6'4" and 308.5lbs and I am fairly flat-chested. I'm not sure that Louie was ever that heavy, but I do know that he was 280+.

I don't think Louie has lied about his physique. Sure those ads may or may not have been photoshopped but it doesn't change the fact that he made a great transformation. I know how Adobe Photoshop works and I don't think he honestly sat down and took the time to craft layer after layer so that he'd have a better appearance. However, magazines are guilty of doing that all the time, from all bodybuilding mags, glamour mags, and especially porno mags.

Most girls (the hot ones in particular) don't like fat guys, it's sad but true. I've noticed their change in attitude. I had more girls talk to me now since I've slimmed down some and added some muscle, and it kinda pisses me off to an extent because of the superficiality of it all. But on the flipside, it has given me more confidence and I'll just keep getting more as I progress onto getting in even better shape. Yeah, I'm in this game for better overall health, but I'd be a damn liar if I just sat here and said that was all.

i've had the opportunity to PM louis and he's a very helpful person. Its not his fault they overhyped it. I take his story as a true inspiration and if you read his posts he's ALWAYS thankful for the praise he gets and he's ALWAYS willing to help others...now there's really something wrong w/ society when we hate people who try to help..Louis keep up the good work...you are respected!

That's true, he responded to a pm I sent him as well. I'm sure he gets a ton of them, yet he seems to take the time to respond to every single one of them. I don't know many people who will take the time to do that. I think this whole thing has just been blown out of proportion.

Um... they are the same person.

I agree about the photoshopped boobs and abs though, it's the same on bb.com also. What the hell?
