OT gossip: Aaron Singerman is no longer with RxMuscle

[Loctus]

I hope he has a good position lined up somewhere else. I think he's great in this industry, good character.

[203mh]

Well he's no longer with RX Muscle that's confirmed... his "Goodbye" thread was deleted as well... fishy considering he was just promoted Editor In Chief a couple months ago

Here's what I seen on ********....



Here's the video provided as well

I agree, I did not really like him on the radio, and when I met him in person it solidified how I felt haha

I heard a few stories on how he was a liar and all but... do tell of your experience

Yep, same here....never liked the guy and never really understood what the hell he did that was so important for RX. Just an ignorant jackass all the way around in my opinion

[fretslayer]

Yeah Dave Palumbo mentioned he had left on HMR yesterday, thought that was kind of odd. I thought he was good guy to listen to, had just discovered his Real Bodybuilding interview show and now it's gone. Lame!

[zmcdole]

lol @bangin chicks. Come on, is that really a reason to fire a guy??

[Nikonguy]

Pffft, the guy just want's to focus all his attention on getting Jason Genova his pro card.

Here's the video provided as well

ive only watched like 30 seconds of the video..

isnt Aaron = Chewbacca?

the guy was "banned" from covering shows for ages now.. i remember reading somewhere that if he was linked to rx muscle they wouldnt let they cover the show..

[Canuck77]

Arron comes across as a pretty cool guy imho, just based on his YouTube channel...didn't listen to his radio show. PJ Braun also seems like a cool guy, always liked his videos with Arron as well.

All this drama about "the reality of what happened...how much money he makes personal training et." is just lame imho. Feels like high school or something...but it's typical politics that go on in every industry, office, organization et.

Classic rule applies here - The truth is somewhere in the middle, leave it at that. I don't think people really care about this he said she said crap. Maybe I'm wrong...

Don't get me wrong, it is good information to know he is no longer with RxMuscle, good thread there, but that other guy sounding off in the YouTube video just sounded like whining to me...meh...focus on yourself and your own life, why waste time worrying about someone else's.

[RoroCwalker]

Who cares? He has a money making machine selling underwear on ********.

Jason Genova.

Man this does not add up at all.

I listen to the main RX radio shows and visit the site regularly, these are the things I just dont understand.

1.If Aaron was not liked by promoters etc why was he made editor in the first place?
2.He does not do his job? and they only find this out now, I know for a fact he does some work because you can see the interviews he does and he does several radio shows and sorts out the ask dave questions, plus Dave and Chris aceto has praised him at least once on the heavy muscle radio show for his hard work etc.
When he,dave palumbo and PJ braun went to vegas or something PJ wanted to have a good time with Aaron but was left with only Dave because Aaron had to go back to the hotel and edit stuff.
3.Even if promoters did not like Aaron it does not make sense to just completely cut him off, even if he worked on a part time basis doing radio shows etc

[fretslayer]

I'm not buying the guys dribble in the video. Just seems like silly drama.

Posted by Dave Palumbo:

I’m writing this post because I felt it was important to reveal my thoughts on Aaron Singerman’s departure from Rx Muscle. I hope that our industry knows me well enough by now to realize that I place a high value on reporting the truth on subjects ranging from bodybuilding to politics to the spiritual question of why we’re all here. In that light, let me start off by saying that Aaron is a very talented individual who, when he applies himself, is capable of achieving just about anything he sets his mind out to. It was this drive and determination and passion that impressed me enough to, initially, hire Aaron to work for Rx Muscle; and after a year of dedicated service impressed me enough to promote him to the title of editor-in-chief of the website. No longer would I have to worry about editing articles, attending every show, and filming contest video myself. Or so I thought.



You see, Aaron loves to promote his achievements. In fact, he’s excellent at it. The problem is that he’s not very keen at promoting things he’s not involved in. Aaron also doesn’t like to do jobs that may be considered “behind the scenes”—jobs such as editing other people’s articles, or promoting other writers work. He finds these less than glamorous and, if he can get away with it, he’ll shunt those responsibilities. The editor-in-chief title is an all-encompassing position; meaning you must read, edit, fix, and promote (via social networking) the entire Rx Muscle site’s worth of content (Rx Muscle Main, Rx Girl, Rx Strength, and Mens Physique) every single day. Aaron was warned many times about neglecting these duties and was even given the option of stepping down from the position of editor in chief in favor of merely getting paid for doing what he liked to do—attending shows, radio hosting, and selling advertising. Aaron chose, instead, to give me an ultimatum. Either he keeps his Editor in Chief job (with full pay) or he leaves. To make matters worse, he threatened to convince sponsors to leave Rx Muscle if I chose to release him from his duties. Well, there’s one thing that we do not do over at Rx Muscle; we do not negotiate with terrorists. So I chose the option to release Aaron from his duties.



In case you’re thinking that I'm being kinda hard on Aaron for not doing this one duty, there’s another deal-breaking bad habit that Aaron had exposed just recently—he lied directly to my face. Lying is another pet peeve of mine that I simply won’t tolerate. I realize that, in Aaron’s mind, he’s never lied to me. This is because Aaron believes that it’s acceptable to tell people what they want to hear; that there’s no harm in it as long as the subject matter (in his mind) is not serious. The problem with this thinking process is two-fold. (1) Usually the “white lie” is something way more serious (on a deeper level) than Aaron imagines and (2) when these lies start to involve many different industry people, he starts to forget what the truth really is; and that’s when the real trouble begins. As Mark Twain once said, “If you tell the truth, you never have to remember anything”.



So In closing, I want to reiterate that, despite what went down, I still consider Aaron and his family (his wife Darielle, son Asher, and his parents) to be wonderfully loving people. They all have tremendous hearts and would give you the proverbial shirt off their backs. That’s a unique quality that not many people can lay claim to. However, in the business world, sometimes friendship and business just doesn’t mesh well. So, I wish Aaron and his family all the best. With his passion and drive he’ll always earn a good living for his family and I’m sure, sooner or later, he’ll find his place in society.

I'll take Palumbo's work on this and say that Aaron was in the wrong here.

Though one could say that he did....jew him about of a job.

*You* sound like you're whining. The Youtube guy said he was doing it as a favor, so it's all good. It's all about putting the truth out there and holding people accountable. It makes the world a better place, imo.

Man this does not add up at all.

x2. If he wasn't doing his job, then why was he there for so long? And it's obvious he did interviews and stuff.

Ok, that clears everything up. Thx for posting. Repped.

Reminds me of Frieza and Vegeta.

Bodybuilding is a grimey "industry". If you can even call it that. Bunch of he said she said bitchess. Seems like every other weeks there is people getting fired over there an shiit talking after. Too much drama

[dom1987]

Dave palumbo's post's makes more sence of the situation

but it does ''take two to tango'' So even though Aaron may of had short comings I bet other people at RX did to.

and in the latest Mel chancys radio show 'the final verdict'

found here

http://www.rxmuscle.com/2013-01-11-0...l-verdict.html

I think he talks far to much about the situation and it just seems a bitching and smearing campaign against Aaron and his wife Darielle.

Dave should of not let this radio show happen, his post was enough, the fact this radio show was aired puts rxmuscle.com down a few notches in my book.

I think Dave's style is to just let people do their thing on their shows. The people at Rx don't all agree with each other.

Yeah thats nice of dave but whatever people say on the radio shows reflects on Rxmuscle (one of the so called reasons for Aaron's departure funnily enough)

what did you think of mel chanceys radio show?

I liked it a lot, not to knock Aaron because he was always fun to listen to on HMR, but what's been said on the show is no different than what some people have been saying about him for years. No secret he's twisted up stories and such too.

[masthead716]

I actually thought Aaron and Dave made a good team. I always enjoyed their stuff/coverage. That being said, Dave doesn't seem like the kind of guy to throw Aaron under the bus for no reason as they seemed pretty close. Sounds like his promotion to Editor went to his head and his termination was justified.

What he is doing now

Great video, really like those two guys. But Angle Dust???? lol... Oh boy in before the Feds.
