    Rather hard to locate from the MD website and they only have three products as mentioned above and low search rankings compared to Prime Nutrition one of their lead mag advertisers for instance on Alexa.
    Makes a person go hmmmm....

    Makes me chuckle a bit. "Carlo Rizzi" is the Brand X Store Boy and it was his baby. Again, putting people in positions that they are not qualified to be in.

    I like the dig actually as it brings up the product quality, marketability points relative to not only Species products, but that of AdvancedMolecularLabs at a time when sponsored athletes like Evan are on the auctioning block it would seem for what value they bring to a brand and how to quantify and qualify that value. If amateur and pro athletes are relegated to promoting their special product codes to prove their worth in revenue generation I'd say the same measure should apply to the folks speaking with some authority over how others should be paid. Singerman per the Alexa numbers could teach Team MD a thing or two about marketing a supplement store. No doubt Dave Palumbo could too!

    What David Baye and other critics of Dave Palumbo's RxMuscle & Species have to realize even if they don't admit it is that the return on investment is potentially quite high here considering the Alexa numbers of the websites for Species & Rx combined, which shatters the rankings of the Advanced Molecular Labs site. And after all both of these sites plus his internet television platform essentially serve the interests of Species Nutrition sales. No one ever said Palumbo had to cover x-number of shows or even sell advertising to another company ever. That's a pretty good position to be in as a supplement company CEO who generates his own brands successful marketing and doesn't have to buy it from someone else. How long do they think Prime will buy advertising really?

    It doesn't matter if the price was $100 or $1, but rather that Brand X's supposed "main man" is concerned enough to take the attention away from his own and his company's shortcomings by digging deep to find something out on RX's side of the street that he feels is unjust.

    David Baye - as far as I know - has only "worked" (and I use that word with great pain) in the bodybuilding industry for Brand X. He has no beef with Dave and RX other than the guy who signs his paychecks doesn't like them.

    It's pudding.

    There's a thread about some no-name bozo's opinion on pudding price?

    If he can't afford it or doesn't see it as value for his apparently thin wallet then he doesn't have to make a purchase, right?

    And, MPJ, are you bashing vBulletin? If so, do you have a specific alternative that you prefer?

    So true. I would rather spend 50 to 60 dollars on Species protein pudding than 60 bucks for MD intra workout from Prime (Fast absorbing carb + some aminos from recuperated hair + salt) Thank you I can make it for 20 dollars myself.

    Internet television and social media.
    Most people aren't on vbulletin forums anymore as they have short attention spans. I like this one and MD, but don't buy products from advertisers as a result. I want to see my favorite athletes giving me their special buyers code for a discount on social media instead.

    That one seems earth shattering compared to one of the other threads with a poll, "Do You Wear Your Heart Backwards at the Gym?"

    I actually feel sorry for Dan Solomon, Peter McGough & Ron Harris. I consider all three of them friends and enjoy their work, as they are talented writers/hosts. But they have to defend Brand X when it is blatantly obvious that it is a shell of its former self with a money printing press machine keeping it afloat.

    If making a high protein (30g per serving), low carb (under 2 net carbs), low fat (under 1.5g) great tasting protein pudding (that's 90% whey isolate; 10% micellar casein) was so easy, I wouldn't be the only one selling one (with tremendous success).

    HINT: People are willing to pay a little more for a quality product! Otherwise, Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, and Audi would be out of business.

    David Baye is just spewing the Blechman rhetoric that he's paid to vomit out on their board. I don't blame him; I actually like the guy. He's probably one of the hardest working guys over there.

    Funny thermo heat "sells" for $60 bucks. I have formulated and priced ingredients labels blah blah. Guarantee oops sorry GUARANTEE the markup on thermo heat or "caffeine heat" is radically higher then protein pudding . Still markups even higher on the intraworkout products.

    In terms of changing your body which one of these will give u better or any results for 60 bucks

    A) using a protein pudding
    B) using an intraworkout drink
    C) using caffeine heat

    If u picked B. Or C you are delusional, a pencil neck, or work for the Marcus Welby site .
