DON:
What is it you are trying to do different from everyone
else in your field?
PAUL: I don't know about everyone else, but I am strongly
trying to push drug free bodybuilding. There are others
doing the same thing, but of course there are many that
aren't.
DON:
Now that female bodybuilding is all but dead and the
IFBB has come down and told the fitness competitors
to soften up, where is the future?
PAUL: I hope towards a more sane, drug free standard
for bodybuilding.
DON:
Have you heard of any new trends that are on the horizon
many of us aren't aware of yet?
PAUL: I will tell you this, the drug situation in bodybuilding
will come to a head in the next 10 or 20 years. It can't
keep getting worse like it has and not eventually blow
up.
DON:
If you could achieve one huge thing in your field, what
would it be?
PAUL: Bring aesthetics back to bodybuilding. Who cares
if a bodybuilder is close to 300 pounds if his waist
is huge and he just looks like a big block. Let's see
bodies like Bob Paris, Frank Zane and Steve Reeves again.
DON:
If success is measured in means of money earned, what
truly is success, and why do you feel those with more
than that want more and more?
PAUL: Success would be turning out a valuable product
or service that gets people closer to their goals. I
don't know why, greed is a fact of this world I guess.
DON:
What fitness star, bodybuilder, male and female do you
admire and want to work with?
PAUL: Don Lemmon, of course.
DON:
What would you have them do different?
PAUL: Get a haircut and get a real job.
DON:
In the real world, we have what you do. Some go freelance
because the clients demand it. Others do this because
the powers that be are a pain in the ass. Why is that?
PAUL: I wish I knew why people act the way they do.
I guess fear that they will lose out.
DON:
What would be the ideal work environment?
PAUL: Where the whole group shared the same purpose
and worked together in a well organized push towards
those goals.
DON:
What are your latest and most immediate plans?
PAUL: Just to continue to research training, diets and
supplements that give results for drug free trainees.
DON:
One hard selling point so my readers will say "WOW"
and head to your site for more info.
PAUL: I'm not really the hard sell type, but I am there
to help, I answer all my own e-mail and I do my best
to give recommendations on programs and supplements.
DON:
When you were your best, what was your routine?
PAUL: The Truly Huge program, of course.
DON:
When you were in your best shape, what was your diet?
PAUL: The Know How diet, what else?
DON:
What did you think I would ask?
PAUL: Name, rank and serial number?
DON:
What is your favorite breakfast?
PAUL: Steak and Eggs with spinach.
DON:
What web sites do you frequent?
PAUL: I really don't, I am always surfing for new sites
to see.
DON:
Last movie saw, last video rented?
PAUL: Man On The Moon, Entrapment
DON:
What was the funniest thing about my 97 minute demo
video?
PAUL: Tiger saying he's owes his success to Ostrim meat
snacks.
DON:
What was the best part?
PAUL: The belly button rings.
DON:
Ok, I knew you'd have a silly answer, so what was the
most informative part?
PAUL: The workouts were great, intense and result producing.
DON:
Last CD bought, concert saw?
PAUL: Garth Brook's In the Life Of Chris Gains for my
wife, Bruce Springsteen
DON:
If I were to leave you with a set of barbells in a cave
and allowed not one, but two pieces of equipment, Nautilus,
Hammer, or whatever, what would you choose?
PAUL: Nautilus Pullover and Southern Exercise Tru Squat.
DON:
I had a secret desire to be _____ growing up?
PAUL: Spider-Man
DON:
The most alluring of the fitness babes?
PAUL: Jamie Eason.
DON:
The best of the modern bodybuilders?
PAUL: Bill Davey
DON:
Do you know your ABC's backwards (this would be a DUI
question)?
PAUL: zyxwvutsrqponmlkjihgfedcba (hic, Buuuuurrrrrpppppp!!)
DON:
Describe to me your hardest workout. The one where you
had a partner and you didn't give up for fear he would
eat you.
PAUL: Well I was training with this cannibal once, he
was eating a clown, and he passed some to me and asked
"does this taste funny to you?". Really my hardest workout
involved 20 reps squats, when I felt like I was going
to die at 12 reps, but somehow got all 20.
DON:
I saw "Any Given Sunday" the other day and it was a
huge promotional tool for Metrx. That **** BLOWS. Not
out of envy, out of plain disgust for junk being sold
to us as good for you. What product gets under your
skin?
PAUL: Weight Gain Powders, that are so high in sugar
that you gain weight all right - fat weight.
