For the P/RR/S crew...A TASTE OF II!!

**gopro** · 05-10-2004, 07:58 AM

Seriously...I DO BELIEVE that people need to get off their butts and do some research on their own. I unfortunately cannot be here to answer every little question about my program, especially when most have been answered in the "Gopro Workouts" thread. If you have to read that whole thread page by page so be it! Trust me, you will learn alot and have questions answered you may have not even thought to ask. I do the very best I can to be here as much as I can and to provide all the info I can, but unfortunately this is not a paying position so I can only do so much. Moderators are not paid to be here, we are here of our own accordance to simply help people b/c we like to do so and because we believe in Prince's site.

rks1969 · 05-10-2004, 08:14 AM

I'm not really a big poster here,but I keep up with GPs p/rr/s program & have started using the new shedule as well.These workouts have been the very best I've tried.
JUST WANTED TO THANK GOPRO FOR POSTING THESE FOR ALL OF US TO USE.

Randy · 05-10-2004, 11:41 AM

This is my entire point Gopro... If you post links referencing the topic of your exercises in either your signature or the beginning message of your thread you won't have people continually asking you the same questions about your workout . To me that doesn't seem that difficult

If reference is not posted to answer a question that can be found in another thread then that individual should be politely directed to the thread containing the information without sarcasm.

If you or other moderators don't have the time to answer people’s questions, then you shouldn't be here. I thought that is what this board was all about. A forum to help motivate, educate and encourage others to conquer their body building goals. Naturally people here need to research on their own, but come on now. This person just had a simple question. She didn't need to be treated that way. She could have politely been directed to the portion of the thread that contained the information she was looking for rather than be belittled.

Now we all admire you for developing such an awesome program and people respect your knowledge and appreciate your efforts. Reflecting attitude toward individuals with questions however can be very damaging to your reputation and reflect negatively toward your reputation.

Just my viewpoint Gopro... Nothing personal

Oh one more thing...
Don't mean to bring this up again Rissole. You did apologize like a man and that is respectable. Gopro should of left it alone. I am not trying to pick on you Rissole really... Just trying to make a point to gopro.

KillerAbz · 05-10-2004, 12:18 PM

Wow, thank you.

Randy, I was not the one that made the original response...I had nothing to do with it. Mt post about people getting off their butts was a general one...not toward ANT particular member. I'm sorry, but I DO believe that people should use the search function and also do some reading as I KNOW when some people see the length of the Gopro's Workout thread, they choose not to read through but just ask questions again that already have complete answers. When I visit other boards...even one's I mod at...and I'm looking for something particular I will try to find it myself before asking (if its in regards to a very well established topic). If you know me then you DO KNOW that I am more than polite to EVERYONE on this board...never bitch at people's questions (and the tons of PMs that I get on top of it), and that I ALWAYS use the phrases...THANK YOU...I APPRECIATE IT...YOUR WELCOME...THANKS FOR THE KIND WORDS...NO PROBLEM...ETC, ETC.

I understand your concerns but you do not need to be making any kind of "points" to me...I have been here for years already giving out information that I have learned, researched, experienced, etc, for 18 years now.

**gopro** · 05-10-2004, 01:38 PM

So that Randy does not feel as though I am ignoring his "request" I have now posted a sticky with a link to the article about my basic POWER/REP RANGE/SHOCK workout.

And you are quite welcome!

Gopro,

I never implied that you made the original response.
I simply stated my concern clearly and concisely. I feel no need to repeat it.

Randy · 05-10-2004, 04:01 PM

Gopro,

Just to clarify...

My request was made primarily to help reduce the questions that you and your helpers might receive regarding your workout topics as I have already outlined in my message.

As a result this benefits you, not me.

I don't claim to be the expert on this forum by no means, but I am more familiar with locating information than the new users. Being in the computer business and managing a message forum myself at one point, I have learned some of the oranizational tricks helpful in managing information. In your case if your discussing your workout programs and fail to provide links referencing them, how do you expect to keep from receiving questions? New users don't know how to search the archives

Don't you think they would if they could

Again Gopro...this is nothing personal..
1. The incident already took place...
2. An apology was provided
3. You reopen the can of worms

You don't defend your helpers and try to make excuses for something that should not have happened to begin with.

Rissole already admitted he was wrong, and apologized for it.
now you come up with this bullshit speech to try to justify it

I guess Gopro it was just a timing thing. I'm not here to fire up at you, but the message I received from your statement was that you didn't have the time to help people or answer their questions. That left a sour taste in my mouth. If you would have just left it alone...things would have been fine and this whole thing would have gone down peacefully. Now I spoke my peace and will not say anymore about this topic.

Do them both power. Keep the weeks/bodyparts consistent.

Sapphire · 05-19-2004, 08:07 AM

This is the last reference to the minor disagreement concerning GP and questions..... I can assure you that he is an extremely busy man who goes way out of his way on this site to help people. I can tell you from personal experience he sleeps very little and is extremely dedicated to his craft and his clients. Most of the workouts he sends me are in emails written past midnight. He has NEVER neglected me under ANY circumstances and I appreciate his dedication. YES I pay him, but I believe he helps me more out of friendship than anything else. He is a loyal and genuinely good person.

Randy you are a genuinely good person too and I KNOW you meant nothing by your suggestion.

So... let's all get to work and be the best damn P/RR/S groupies we can!!!

GO TEAM GOPRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Randy · 05-19-2004, 11:24 AM

Nice motivational speech Sapphire... It's good to have you back

You're right! I meant nothing, I just like to tease gopro from time to time. It helps keep him on his toes ya know
