Like someone posted on my thread.. he is major prick. And Fucking full of shit as well.
There were about 20 people there and I was the biggest in the crowd and he would NOT answer a question of mine for anything. Everytime he said "Next question" I would hold my hand up and he would avoid making eye contact. All I was going to ask was what his ideas were on who would be the biggest surprise at the Olympia this year. Even at the end, when he asked "are there anymore questions?", no one but me held up a hand and about 5 people turned to look at me and he just said.. "well in that case.. I guess I will be going."
MAJOR FUCKUP #1 - He kept refering to himself as "one of the few Elite bodybuilders good enough to turn pro." Then he goes.. "see that big man over there (pointing at the cash register) he is bigger than myself, and he would do good on a state level, but you have to be elite to turn pro." The "guy over there" was none other than IFBB Pro Paul Baker who trains at my gym. Dwarfing him by 11 inches and 100 pounds. (Long was about 5'2")
MAJOR FUCKUP #2 - Made the statement that milk protein was better and faster absorbed than whey isolate. That whey isolate was "economy bargain basement" protein.
MAJOR FUCKUP #3 - Picked this one kid out of the audience who was 16 and asked him what his goals were.. and the kid (bless his heart) told him that "I want to be big." This kid weighed about 165 pounds at the height of 6'1". Mr. Elite Bodybuilder Long then told this kid.. "in that case, eat 200 grams of protein per day and do not go over 200 grams of carbs per day." (WTF??) The kid then said.. "I thought I should eat more, it says so in Lee Haney's Totalee Awesome training book". Dumbass Long then said "well Lee Haney is outdated, so take my advice and MAYBE one day you will be competing in the Olympia." The kid just looked at him and said "well MAYBE one day you will be competing in the Olympia too." Talk about a cutting comeback.
Overall, he was a complete prick who tried his best to be charming to the ladies and intimidating to the guys. Fucking dumbass would not even look at me.
