I email him from time to time asking opinions or advice and today he totally blew me off by saying something like, "Do you ever pay for information or you just pick people's brains for information for free". What a complete ***hole. If he is gonna act like this, he needs to take his email address and his cell number off his website. Sorry for venting, im just trying to learn this sport in and out, but apparently he doesn't want to share anything.

Well, I don't know if you were taking advantage of him or not, but I'd send him an email along these lines...
Apologise for being asking questions of someone who placed his contact details in the public realm for that purpose and explain that you hadn't realised how much more important his time is than yours. Now you understand how god-like he is and how worthless you are, you won't bother him further. Then thank him for the five minutes or so he spent previously answering questions and tell him you will frame his emails in your house as a living monument to his generosity of spirit."A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand."

I've met Joe at a couple of meets and he isn't a very friendly guy. A lot of the bigger PLers are like that. They develop their little circles and think everyone else is below them. As far as asking and answering questions online, I don't know the real situation...maybe you came of kind of like a pest and don't realise it, but he still could've put it in a more polite way. Ah, **** him anyway...I'm sure I can tell you his biggest secret to benching big...TEST. lol.

I think Sgt. Rock may have a personal insight into Joe and have something to say if he comes around.

There's more to the story than he's telling. Maybe he's a stalker, sending questionable e-mails.....

Sorry I dont come here alot guys, lots of cool peeps, but alas a few trolls as well. As for Joe, he is a personal friend of mine, and he gets even more emails than I do. I try and answer them all, and usually do. Joe is a human being, a father, son, christian, and friend. I don't know what happened with him via email with the other gentleman, all I can say is I work with him every year at the Arnold Classic and he is a coold guy to hang out with, and a true legend of Powerlifting. See him at FIBO in Europe really soon.

It’s never too late to set the record straight
I was made aware of this just now. A decade later. I’ve never half assed anything in my life. That said. I’m glad you finally shut your soup cooler. Don’t judge. You did. And posted it. Keyboard warrior first civ div. You. Lad? Warrior. I reside in Vegas if anyone wants to train.

I see where you are coming from, but it's surprising how much a professional can help you. He may catch one or two little things that you are doing wrong and don't even realize you're doing wrong, and that could mean tons more progress over a period of months and years.
Also, it doesn't sound like OP has much empathy, or like he's considering what it could be like for a successful weightlifter who's put his contact information up. If he answered everything for free, he'd lose how much money a week, a month, a year, over 10 years, over a lifetime?Last edited by North5evil; 01-22-2021 at 03:10 PM.
