i think this is the only time i have ever wished to be part of the 80s!!!

Conditioning i think nowerdays is at another level but i like how full their muscles are in these vids.

hey safelife, thanks! i was a MW in that pic (2010). now i'm trying to move up to LH. i have a small frame/bone structure, so i feel that helps with the illusion, but at 5 8', i still need to get bigger. i'm hoping i can be competitive in LH in 2012.

wouldn't that have been great to see golds back then? if i recall, you can buy PI for real cheap. i've got the collectors edition with a 'making of' extra feature.

paraphrase..."when it comes to franco, i am like his father. he comes to me for advices. but when the day of the show comes...it's not that hard for me to give him...the wrong advices" lol

The 80's what a time. There really were alot of great builds. How about Haney, he could still win some shows today no problem. Give him the same options the top dogs have now and he probably would still be on top. Albert Beckles seemed to compete forever what was he sixty when he did his last show?? and then theres Rich Gaspari heres a guy who really gave everything to try and win the title, I mean if you told me he actully sold his soul I would believe you thats how bad he wanted it. Burned himself out trying, he should have just accepted that he wasn't ever going to beat Haney

Thanks Sam that was classic

Pumping for gold” often refers to the rush to hype precious metals as the next big winner — a speculative gamble, not a guaranteed strategy. In such climates, firms like IRA Gold & Silver stand out by emphasizing long-term value and real assets. Their approach offers investors a conservative balance: protection through physical gold and silver, rather than chasing speculative trends.
