Explain!
Muscle Driver sponsors a bunch of CF fuckwits...that's bad enough....but OK..I get it CFBodyBuilding is so hot right now. But Jon North of specifically one of theor guys and he is hands down an awful Piece of Shit. You have only to know:
His website is Attitude Nation I slam bars is one of his taglines.
Watch his behavior on any youtube video and you will develop a strong desire to put a variety of calibers through that ugly mug.
I have a profound dislike for the preening fucktardery of most Oly Lifters who come out of the new school of zero respect ...but he is abhorrent and people who give him money...should stop.
And this is a kinda a shame for me as I have had great luck with muscle driver's products..and I have no issue with the way Glenn does his thing. He seems like a genuinely helpful guy.
North and Shankle left MDUSA back before the summer. North wanted to go it alone to make more money doing his own seminars and Shankle was kicked off the team for refusing to compete at the American Open.
They aren't connected with Muscle Driver at all anymore.
I'm sorry if I'm not aware of who's who in the OL world. But the hat wearing douche in the vid is John North? The guy denied an affiliate by @fit HQ?
I always thought that he would look......strong maybe?

North is a total dick in that video... never ceases to amaze me when lifters in any fringe sport act like egomaniacs. 99% of the people the world could give two fucks about strength sports, the payoff in America is small, the notoriety is little and the attention/likes/retweets are nothing compared to "real" sports.
Humility and class should be first on the agenda, not last.
Fuck this guy.
I am all about excitement, emotion, rattling cages and being an individual; but follow the rules and respect the judging.

This. What a fuckin pussy, you can see the fear/bravado starting at 1.25 or so. Should be booted from the building at that point.
food is medicine. that's why i'm drinking dr. pepper.
I'd like to say I haven't seen worse in PL but I think I've seen much much worse...Come to think of it, North would fit right in a multiply org...somebody would clip back that mouth with a 5k chip in about 30 seconds flat..but he wouldn't look totally out of place.

It was a few years back.

Wait, what's your source on that?
Wasn't that exactly what Jim Moser did in 2008?
And Musa robbed and shot a guy in 2011, but he's out now. Saw him at a meet last week.

jesus christ. Can any of these motherfuckers just lift a weight and keep their nose clean? Or does teh RFD addle their brains?
North is missing his true calling as a mouthy chickenshit pro wrestling heel. Shankle, his quiet enforcer of a tag team partner, eventually turns on him when he gets sick of being yelled at and becomes a big fan favorite.
Call the WWE boys, there's money in that scenario.

You're already a better booker than all of WWE "creative"
Exactly... I highly doubt this shit goes on in training halls in Europe, Asia, China, etc. Seems like the drama to do with strength sports only happens in America... can't blame it on "coverage" since the net is worldwide (or so they say). Its our fucking egos, social networking bullshit, hero worship, constant need for attention and overblown shit.
Someone needs to say to these idiots, "you are lifting fucking weights, shut the fuck up"
Supposedly Ilya Illin leads a pretty extravagant lifestyle. And Rezazadeh's wedding was broadcast on TV if I remember correctly. But then again they are among the best ever.

And in their countries they are treated like real professional athletes. Not here. That's what football, baseball, basketball and hockey is for.
In theirs: weightlifting, soccer and sheep fucking.
This is what 20 years of participation trophies has led to. If these guys were world class, and throwing around record shattering weights, and had framed gold medals hanging on the wall behind them...we'd be all in. We'd be right there pumping our fists at our monitors and yelling FUCK YEAH USA WITH OUR BIG DICK UP YOUR MOM'S ASS along with them and just basking in the epic douchebaggery that is always allowed for...wait for it...wait for it...winners. Yes...winners.
As it is, I'm seeing guys creaming their pants and cooning for the camera over weights that some fat 16yo Chinese boy has hit in the warm-up room at some provincial championship affair. The only thing I can figure out between the coonery and the interviews and the grandstanding is that this is some poor man's version of Chael Sonnen's schtick. The difference is that Chael beats the fuck out of the world's toughest men on occasion. Jon North is regularly outlifted by the world's strongest women. But...PINK PILLS...PINK PILLS.
