What do you think of Scooby? (The bodybuilding guru)

What do you think of Scooby? He gives pretty much free advice, unless you’re paying for his online personal training.

He was detectived in 2013 and it was revealed that he was gay, so he shut down his forum known as AskScooby.

Since then, he has come out as gay and makes videos in Youtube where he gives no nonsense advice. He believes you can achieve fitness without paying a lot of money.

Honestly to me he's not bad. Was kinda surprised when he came out on that ****gytime lol

I used to watch his videos when i first started. Like all the cooking/recipes that he would make, his beginner workout routines, etc.

Still watch his videos here and there tho

I don't see what his sexual preference has anything to do with it but he has alot of good vids and gives alot of solid advice. There's definitely worse fitness YouTubers out there

I like how he does a lot of at home minimal equipment threads, back when I was broke they were invaluable.

I haven't watched a vid of his in 10+ years probably though.

I agree that his sexual preference doesn't matter to me either, I think he's a good fitness coach

Dude gave off a gay vibe and he didn't have a woman or any sign of it so it didn't surprise me. Really sucks he was basically canceled because he is gay. Not into this lgbt crap but I'm glad that is behind us, however its moved over to the other side. His channel and forum and all was about fitness and that is all that should have mattered. Good to hear he's still at it, bodybuilding wise anyways.

I've watched a bit of him in the past year or two. He's a cool guy, and his fitness advice is solid enough. Could be more specific/hardcore about things, but it seems he mostly goes for a "best universal fit," which is fine.

His non-fitness videos about finance/life are pretty interesting. Can't believe he built a fuking plane.

Scoob is coo, used to see some of his vids every now and then. After that jeff seid beef i didn't hear much from him, but haven't gotten around to see some of his stuff knowing he came back.

And him being gay has nothing to do with his advice. heard nothing bad about him.

And i agree, Meanwhile you have tons of straight people in the fitness community on youtube being on some bullchit

didn't know he went missing because he was gay, i mean it was pretty obvious but who cares

i've heard from a lot of people that he was a good influence on them starting lifting so i think that's rad, don't really have much of a personal opinion on him otherwise

I think he's a cool guy. My work friend and I always argue if he is natty or not (I think he is). Btw, he wasn't cancelled or didn't leave before he was gay - well not entirely. He left because he was doxxed.

He doesn't look natural to me and that's the deal with like 99.9% of fitness "trainers".

They lie to string you along because you will never look like them.

People have been doing that since the 1920s, before gear was invented. They would publish one useless workout for you to buy while doing another routine that actually worked behind the scenes.

If you want to do well, read about basic, high volume, routines for each body part, and then obtain gear, of two varieties both starting with T.

Spend your money on that while reading up on what gear you are getting and how to manage it.
If you want to ask me a question:

A digital marketing agency provides you the ability to utilize one agency to manage all of the different internet marketing tasks required for internet marketing. If you have experience in a couple of disciplines, they may very well handle that for you and simply have the digital marketing agency to handle the remainder. However, if you feel like you have a better grasp on each of these disciplines, it is certainly possible to hire them each separately and build your own brand presence. This works great for those who are just starting out and don't have the resources to maintain multiple departments at once.
There are several digital marketing agencies that specialize in certain segments of the market place. For example, there are agencies that focus strictly on MLM, while others focus on the larger, more popular sectors. These are not, however, the only ones available. There are many agencies that offer diverse services to the consumer, and the possibilities are nearly endless. Just be sure and do some research to ensure that the service you receive suits your needs.
The strength of a digital marketing agency lies in the fact that it is able to leverage all of its resources to create the best strategy for a business. This is why many of them offer a wide range of analytics to help determine the success of any online campaign. These include things such as website design and analytics, social media marketing and SEO strategies, data-driven content, pay per click, and much more. They have all of the tools necessary to come up with the most successful strategy possible, allowing the business owner to concentrate on developing the business and growing it instead of worrying about the day to day strategy and planning.
The strength of a digital marketing agency also lies in the fact that it is able to coordinate the efforts of all the agencies involved to produce a cohesive content strategy. This is the backbone of any SEO campaign and this is why so many companies rely on professional agencies for this effort. The agencies take the time to collaborate and understand how each other's websites are doing, what the competition is doing, and what consumers are looking for when searching for businesses like theirs. Together they build an effective content strategy, which includes everything from web design to analytics to SEO and social media marketing. Once this strategy has been assembled, the agencies review it and discuss any changes that may be necessary. Agencies that work together often find that the collective strength of the various parts can produce some amazing results.
For most companies like Capital Solutions, the biggest question is usually what exactly their digital marketing agency will charge. Many of the bigger and more established agencies work without a proposal, and this is the case for many smaller firms as well. Before you hire an agency, make sure and get a written proposal because you want to get a clear idea of what the proposed cost would look like. Make sure that the proposed cost is in line with what you have already budgeted for, or else you may find yourself surprised at the final bill.
When you hire a digital marketing agency, you want to ensure that you are working with a team of experts who know how to market your company effectively. A good agency will help to create brand awareness that will give you a significant competitive advantage over your competition. When you hire an agency, you want to make sure that your marketing efforts are in place before you even launch your website. In fact, the more time you invest in your marketing efforts before launching your site, the better your chances will be of success later on. If you are struggling with an aspect of your business, it is often a great idea to hire a marketing services firm to help you figure it out.

Gay or not gay, his sexuality is a non issue. Dude was legitimate in his advice and help and genuinely wanted people to better themselves physically.

The dude's living the life anyway, strong physical condition and mental aesthetics, is a retired engineer, drives a porsche and literally built his own airplane that he flies as a hobby.

In all srsness Scooby is the real deal. It’s almost impossible to find a YouTube fitness guru who is sincere and gives sound advice without trying to sell you anything. He occasionally says stupid chit (skateboard squats, the pump is a myth, etc.) but for over 15 years he’s been making videos for no reason other than to help people. If it wasn’t for Scooby I never would’ve had access to such sound information on lifting when I first started and probably would’ve made more mistakes, less progress and possibly injured myself.

It’s a shame the trolls derailed the Scooby train after he was outed. Who gives a fuk if he’s gay? If he’s happy with his husband, so he it. He’s obviously a successful man as well. Good for him. He was even a miscer for a short time (or maybe he was only on the other sub forums, but definitely on BB.com) and genuinely tried to help people.

Scooby is a good guy in my book.

He’s the only bodybuilder who doesn’t try to sell worthless chit. He never sold out and his content was always quality.

Also one of the best natty physiques and he’s open about his trt use as he got older.

Always knew he was gay. Doesn't make a difference. He gives decent advice. Isn't natty, but neither is anybody on youtube.
