Same guy.

And reselling a product isnt bad, but cutting and pasting it as your own is just plagiarism and douchebaggery.

PS - from an "industry guy" perspective, this whole thing is just sort of a tragic comedy. But I can understand how it would piss off the buying public who at the very least expect some honesty.

What I think is more fucked up is that he and the crew prop him up to be this guru and the next badass in training when really just a 'lucid and sensible' guy who's too lazy to make his own site and rely on hyperbole and the good old boy network to further himself.

Hows this for irony:

“Jimmy Smith is one of those young strength coaches who is doing all the right things to build a great career. He’s worked with a wide range of clients. He’s learned his functional anatomy. He’s building his own philosophy, not just taking that of someone else. So while he may be young, he is already 10 steps ahead of most of the competition. Be on the lookout for Jimmy Smith in the future; guys like him are the ones that don’t just enter an industry, they revolutionize it!”

I actually like Mike and a lot of his stuff, but this friendship testimonial thing is going to make all of them fall further into ridicule.
