Ask a guy that started Bodybuilding.com anything...
Somebody said I should do this. Why not? Ask away. I may not be able to respond to all questions quickly... you know, I still have to be CEO of a $100 million business today.

Okay:
What forum would you say provides your greatest amount of revenue in supplement purchaces, if you were able to track by screen name?
What is required to get sponsored by BB. com for athletic events, and are they only BB events, or would this include PL, OL, and Strongman?

Not nearly as much as I used to, but right now I usually bench 205 for about 10 reps. I'm working on it!

lmao at that last husband-wife exchange. A nice ending to reading 18 pages of posts. People need to stop asking about the damn reps and part four of the story...
He doesn't care enough about reps to cheat the system and hasn't written part four!!!!!!
(inspirational story btw)

1. Not much from "salary" but more than I ever dreamed from selling part of my equity in the business. I recommend everybody start a business that they are passionate about. I grew up in a 1000 sq. ft. house with my single mom who worked as a cashier at a grocery store and with my three siblings. Last year I bought my mom a house and paid in full.
Anybody can do it.
2. Liberty Media (owners of QVC, ProFlowers, BuyCostumes.com, BackCountry.com and tons more). They rock.
