I hate dealing with this, it just makes me feel sad and sick for them, but yes, there have been
false claims to the title. About a dozen now, and these guys were all busted.
You know, I pride myself on taking the high road, but this is not one of those times.
This time, unfortunately, have to expose some frauds.

I have had relentless bombardments from these fake record holder's management and publicists.
They are trying to get interviews from me, hoping, begging, even attempting to threaten me
with lies into acknowledging each of their frauds, as the new record holder.
One of these newer frauds, (as told to me by his publicist), claimed to have walked in off the
street, trained for four weeks, and broke the record.
When anyone knowledgeable in the field of extreme fitness and athletics heard this,
they, like I, nearly laughed up a lung.

Another of these frauds own countrymen have apologized to me, and told me how he cheated.
They call him, ''a national embarrassment'', using my name, for his false fame.
Since his release from prison, he has many claims of the stupidest, and most who cares records.
No one in the field takes him seriously, except his publicist, and he's a joke.
Sad really, he claimed he wanted to compete in WFC 1 and WFC 2, and he was invited to
compete numerous times by me personally. He said he was going to compete, but he never did.
He knows he's way out of his league, and if he did compete against me he would be exposed as
the fraud he is.
Experts in the field, and those that witnessed his events agree, same standards, rules, events,
and equipment, he would have never even finished the competition.
All these frauds have admitted to not using the same standards, rules, events, equipment
testing, proof, or any of the standards I followed.
So what record are you claiming, if you admit it is not mine ?

After my Second WFC and Guinness World Record in 2002, my record was renamed, by Guinness,
The Physical Fitness Challenge. Guinness then asked me to write the rules and standards,
I followed for my WFC, and Guinness World Records.
I did as they asked, and sent it to them, in December, 2002.
These rules, standards and events, became the standard for the WFC World Records,
and Guinness World Records, Physical Fitness Challenge, in 2002.

The WFC World Records and the Original Guinness World Record Rules are, and have been
posted for all to see since 2002, on the Guinness WR Page of the WFC Fitness Site.
www.worldfitnesschampion.net
See them for yourself. Hit. ''Guinness WR'' Page, Green Tab, then hit ''Rules''.

If any of you frauds actually did something, or were the creator, founder, original, or
True World Record Holder, then you could have written the rules, and set the standards for
everyone else to follow. But you didn't, and your not.
So follow the rules and standards I followed, or be exposed as the frauds that you are.

Why would anyone have so little, or no honor, that they would use faulty equipment, that
would measure more miles than actually performed ?
Or use a double pulley weight system, cutting the actual weight in half ?
Or change events, chop up events, short arm lifts, push ups, and other exercises ?
Or substitute 110, 20, 12, and 2 miles with 110, 20, 12, and 2 kilometers ?
It's been reported by credible officials all these things were done by these frauds.
Again, how could anyone do these things, just so they could claim a record ?
I suppose I answered my own question.

So following this logic, the new Guinness club record holder is the one that can find the
faultiest equipment, cheat, and lie the most. How sad for them, and Guinness.
So, what record are you boys bragging about breaking ? It certainly wasn't mine.
If Guinness allowed these far inferior so called records, then why did they lower the standards
for events, rules, equipment testing and proof ? Because they can.

In 2001 and 2002 to get Guinness World Record recognition, I was blackmailed into signing legal documents and agreements that said Guinness could do whatever they wanted with my records
whether I agreed with their agendas or not.
In 2002, Guinness refused to allow me to make the challenge I established, more difficult,
by adding more distance, numbers, reps, miles, weight, ect, to the challenge.
They said it was already too dangerous for anyone to be attempting.

In 2005 and 2008, one must assume for safety and business purposes,
Guinness allowed inferior standards, rules, and event changes to be called a record.
I don't even recognize the events and rules they are using. It's nothing like my records.
Guinness locals were awarded inferior records, and claiming it as my records.
What a joke. Why did they do this ?

As reported many times, acknowledgment of some records, are negotiable.
More record books are sold in the UK, than anywhere else.
Therefore, it is only good business that locals hold as many of these records as possible.
This makes them not world records, but private club records.
This is good business, for a private club selling books.
But it has nothing to do with Truth, or True World Records.

I have heard stories of Guinness WR claims over a number of punches and kicks, to a bag.
Small children have done the same thing in a Martial Arts classes to get to the next level.
And these guys are counting this as Guinness World Records ? WHY ?
Any True Martial Artist, or any man has too much dignity and pride to call that a record.
What a joke, claiming taps to a bag that can't hit back as a record.
Really, don't you have any pride or dignity at all ?
Or are you so starved for attention that you are willing to make Guinness,
a beer, your God, just to get into their book, as many times as you can.

Sure, I needed Guinness and the reporters at first, and they got something in return.
They got a higher World Record standard for fitness, speed, strength, endurance, quickness,
and pure power, that is still unmatched in History, four times, in four consecutive years.
We only purposely involved Guinness, in 2001 and 2002.
In return I, The WFC and The WFC Workout got worldwide notoriety.

I mean, come on, really, on one page of the Guinness book is you, and you are sandwiched
between 2 pages of world's largest pancake on one side, and world's largest booger on the
other. Who wants that?
Those comments in 2001 didn't win me any favor with Guinness.
Then I received a letter from Guinness on April 9, 2002
that my record was accepted by Guinness, but may, or may not be in their book.
I was assured it would be in their ''database'', for record keeping. Whatever that means.
It was further explained to me that my record was ''dangerous''.
They said it was like free climbing to the top of El Capitan, people read it,
they try it, and they die, giving Guinness a ''black eye''.
Makes sense, nothing I could do about it.
It's their club, and I already signed their blackmailing contract
saying they can do what they want with my records.

I already had record recognition, and the notoriety.
No one could take that away from me.
And I already had the Guinness World Record membership number, 10529.
I also had the Guinness World Record claim numbers,
2001 Guinness World Record Claim ID 17538.
2002 Guinness World Record Claim ID 27908.
For whatever they are worth.

At least there was a purpose for my records.
To help people get fit, in an effort to fight heart disease and obesity.
Yes, I have other records, over 150 different records.
Some are as mundane as track and field, road races, (1 mile to half marathons),
triathlons, cycling, and other mixed sports, for whatever that's worth.
It was all just fun to me, but people do count those course, track, and meet records.

I have a few swimming records, and I never thought of myself as a good swimmer.
They are all associated to distance swimming, training for the 4 World Records,
crossing lakes, swims for charity, things like that.
I even swam across a lake 3 miles and back to raise $$$$ for an animal rescue shelter.
Another time, I cycled and ran around a lake, 58.2 miles, twice, to raise $$$$ for an accident
victim, to pay her hospital bills. There are other charity/record athletic events.
I even have several World Records in weight lifting.
They too are all associated with, the 4 World Records. Again, who cares.

Yes, many of these other records are World Records, but as I said on the Guinness WR Page of
the WFC Fitness Site since 2002, they fall far into the ''who cares'' category.
Records like, fastest punches and kicks. I don't make a big deal out of those because how do we
know a Martial Artists centuries ago was not as fast, before the invention of the radar gun and
other electronic equipment.
Some other records are, 1,250 Push Ups, 1,250 Leg Lifts, 1,250 Jumping Jacks, in 57 minutes, 3 seconds. Each performed correctly, the WFC way, not ''short arming'' the Guinness way, as seen
on their old TV show.
Another record 3,250 Sit Ups, and 300,000 Pounds Lifted, (bench press, seated row, lat pulls,
curls, triceps extension, 30,000 pound minimum each discipline), in 58 minutes, 7 seconds.
All performed correctly, perfect crunches, and full lifts the WFC way, not the Guinness way.
Other records include, a combined 2 Mile Swim, in a 25 yard pool, (many turns), 12 mile run, 12
mile hike, rowing records of varying distances 2 miles and up to 20 miles.
Hiking and climbing four states highest peaks in record time. But how do we know some local
First American didn't do it faster 500 years ago, before stopwatches were invented.

We're not even going to talk about all the separate calisthenics, pull ups, dips, upside down
hanging sit ups, push ups (5 different kinds), and sit ups records I have, compared to the claims I
was told about in the Guinness book.
The list goes on, again, like tapping on a bag that can't hit back, and calling it a record,
who cares.
Apparently some people see Guinness as a ''God''. The planet, I and the WFC, see it as a beer.
I do not get my validation from a beer, and never applied for Guinness recognition.
I did it for my training, and to prove to myself that I could do it.
It was all a stepping stone, preparing me for The 4 WFC Records.
As far as I was concerned, no one else would ever know about these lesser records.
I didn't want to be known as a genetic freak of nature.
I understand some people want to be famous, but that's not me.
I want The WFC Workout to be famous, because it works, and it helps people.

Like any company, club, or media, Guinness has it's own agendas, and it has that right.
The US, UK, European and International sources have a right to share concerns on records
claiming to be the best. And we have the right to expose these false claims.
Fortunately, other International World Record organizations and associations have proudly
recognized the WFC, and our World Records and unchanging standards, rules and events in their databases and websites.
They have not, and will not recognize these fake private club record holders.

I was asked why I never had trust in Guinness, and why I formed The WFC.
When I petitioned Guinness in 2001, about my World Record attempt, they gave me false
information 3 times, and never gave the same information twice.
Guinness purposely tried to mislead me from that record. Why ?

I confronted them, and asked them directly about Joe Decker's record.
It was only then they gave me a straight answer, and correct information.
I needed Guinness acceptance of my challenge to the record I was going for, and I finally got it.
That was when I decided to form the WFC. If I was going to risk my life, I was not going to risk it
for an organization that any wind could blow to their own agenda.

When you break a World Record this big, there will always be frauds claiming to have done
something they could only dream about, because they are not man enough to go out and get it
for themselves. If there is $$$$ to be made, big business will always do whatever they have to do
to make that $$$$, which include lowering standards, changing rules, standards and events, and
lying about it to cover it up.

Doing something no one has ever dared to attempt before, risking my life, proving science,
and the critics of the time wrong, is a big deal.
They said in 2001, ''no one can complete these events and survive''.
Being the first, and only one to ever do these events,
and being the founder, creator and pioneer of it all, The WFC has become my legacy.
A legacy to be proud of, and worth defending.
It's a legacy Guinness should have more respect for.
Now, everyone knows what they are calling a record, it isn't a record.
It's a perverse, watered down version of a record, and it's a joke.

WFC 1 and WFC 2 was created for these fake record holders to come out of their hiding places,
and be a man, and to put up, or shut up, and compete, man to man.
They all chose to shut up, and stay in their hiding places, where it was safe, until they felt like I
have been retired long enough to not be a threat to their lies, and false claims.
I am not saying anything they don't already know. They know what they are.

To me, this has always been about helping people to be fit, and fight heart disease and obesity.
To prove I had the knowledge to help people with fitness and conditioning, I had to do
something no one in History has ever done before, or since, and that's why I did it.
The rest, as I said in an interview, is like being, the world's tallest midget, who cares.

All these frauds are in it for the $$$$. I have not come close to breaking even, for all these
records have cost me, financially, professionally and personally.
I am in the US, If it's not football, basketball, baseball, or hockey, there is no $$$$.

I have been ignoring these frauds.
They can say they are the Captain of the Star Ship Enterprise, and it doesn't affect me either.
I never wanted to call them out, but these frauds have publicists, and they are paid to find
reporters looking for stories, so they get some ink.
Many of you asked, and you have a right to know the truth, so there it is.
I do ask God to forgive these frauds and their handlers for purposely deceiving the public.
As we say in Texas, ''that just ain't right''.

Therefore, if any of you fake record holders are man enough to go for a man to man
competition, I am calling you out, and waiting for you.
You hid like cowards from WFC 1 and WFC 2, and I still haven't gone away.
And, like your publicist pointed out, I am only getting older, so tick tock.

''IF YOU WANT TO BE THE MAN, YOU HAVE TO BEAT THE MAN''.
I have nothing left to prove. To get me, I've earned a price.
Your sponsors will pay this price, plus all taxes, fees and expenses.
A bonus will go to the winner of this WFC 3 competition.
So put up, or shut up, get your sponsors, and have them bring CA$H.
I'll be waiting for you until 3/28/2012, then this offer is over and everyone,
and History will know you for the frauds and cowards that you are.

Most of us record types have military ties, and are fighters.
Reading about your fake claim and not being able to do anything about it,
because you are a fraud, your publicist says this will make you want to fight....I accept.

I will make you the same deal I made many others, since my first World Records in 2001.
Force me to defend my friends, family, or myself, and I will kick the crap out of you for free.
After your long hospital stay, what is left of you goes to the law.
If you want me in the cage, call your sponsors because that will cost you too.
You will get hurt, and leave on a stretcher, and I will have to live with that.
So I will be well compensated for this public spectacle, and how badly I will feel for you.

FACE IT....YOUR FAKE CLAIM IS OVER, AND YOU GOT WHAT YOU DESERVED !

**** CHALLENGE MUST BE ACCEPTED ON, OR BEFORE 9/1/2011 ****
For business management, and training time. That's 6 months before race day.

That solves that, and I won't address it again. I avoid unpleasantness, whenever I can.
I just can not tolerate liars, cowards, fakes, frauds, and cheats, they had to be dealt with.

There are only 3 of us. The others say ''Rob is in a class by himself''.
Coming from them, high praise indeed. I say, it don't take long to call roll in our class.
There is Merl Wolf, whom completed the 1st World Fitness Championship, with a few minutes to
spare in this 24 hour competition, and whom I had the privilege of training.
I have since been told Merl had a work accident, and is no longer with us, in May of 2009.

The other is Joe Decker, who holds a different World Record from 2000.
Joe and I have become friends, and we hope to work together on future projects.
Both have outstanding character, and are the real deal.

Since September 2009, when I issued the WFC 3 Challenge to these frauds.
I have been asked by reporters. ''If someone like you, same fights, struggles, sacrifices, training, everything. Your closest friends say he couldn't break your World Records. Why'?"
Because to do what I did, you had to have an immeasurable motivational edge. And I did.
I'll never tell a reporter about it, they couldn't get it right if I did.

I did share my secret with Merl Wolf and Joe Decker. They are the only ones that can
understand the focus and mental edge it gave me, when going through this challenge.
For everyone else it will hopefully be in a book someday.
That's how I knew these claims were false. That and these frauds admitting having no standards
or rules to follow and changing the events.
Maybe not all records are made to be broken. It certainly wasn't broken by these frauds.

In the Fall of 2010, I received a message from one of these frauds handlers, asking me "not to be
so hard on these blokes". He confirmed every word I said was accurate, therefore these
"blokes" will not compete against me. He admitted to inaccurate equipment, and rules,
standards, events and distances were ignored, changed and significantly lessened.
He also confirmed my comments on big business, and sales, were accurate.
He then recommended I remove this article, and fully cooperate with their story.
Why? Because they had all the support necessary from the corporation, as well as their
endorsement, partnership and sponsorship.

I wouldn't take it, but you would think he would have at least offered me a bribe at this point.
What they did not count on is Texans love a good fight.

They have corporate backing, and a right by blackmailed contract to a perverted, watered
down version of a completely changed, fake record.
We have the truth, The WFC Rules and Standards, and recognition from other World Record publications. These publications will never recognize these frauds, because of
their lack of rules, standards and proof. Plus their refusal to compete against me, man to man.

So put that baby to bed, I have. However, I will be ready for competition, just in case.
Even at my age, as a coach and athlete, it's what I do.
I do thank all of you for your support and friendship over the years.
I also hope you continue with the The WFC Workout, as I know you will.
Being fit, fighting heart disease and obesity worldwide is what this was all about.
God bless you and yours,
Rob
