He wants everyone to "know" that he's a part-time tranny, so he's gonna "test run" it by saying he was bouncng that night. He's addicted to the feeling of nylon on his spindly legs.

-
Michael ,sure i know about his heart attack but if i know it right Matarazzo had heart attack only some years ago.
my question was - why he had this serious size only in the begining of his carier(91,92) and lost a lot of it later ?

Keith, I just surfed upon this topic and that photo 0n the first page of a very young Arnold that I shot in the jungle includes Dave Draper sitting in the tree and Wayne Anderson.
When Wayne got out of the Corps, he moved to Cal and trained with Arnold for a brief period of time and entered many a contest on the West Coast. He is a very good friend of Corney's and is now residing in Las Vegas. You'll be meeting him soon. Hell of a great guy. Has a deaf Mastiff (spelling ?) that can't hear a thing you say so he only obeys hand signals. He constantly watches your hands and Italians really confuse the hell out of him.
I don't recall the year that that picture was taken but it was a very interesting time period in the world of bodybuilding.

Didn't I meet Wayne at the Olympia. I remember meeting a Wayne there you knew from along time ago.
-
Yep! That was Wayne! Got some interesting stories to tell ya when I see ya next. Remind me.
-
Dang Stunt...you took that shot...so you hung with Arnold? Very cool...
-
this is a lotta work (this thread should be a sticky!)

Yea, Moose, i took that one and a lot more but I threw a lot of those old scrapbooks away during various moves. I'll contact Wayne and see if he saved any of those old time jungle pictures as well as many others. He might have copies of some great shots I've taken since the early 60's. Most you'll recognize if you can visualize many of the pros at roughly half their competitive bodywt. I think I posted some of these old time photos on this board a while back.
What's a sticky?

a "sticky" is where the moderators put the thread on the top of the board where it stays

Serious. They cross-hatch abs these days for tv and movies. 300 is a good example. They used the cgi and spray, so all these actors looked ripped. I mean, c'mon, they're actors, not lifters. I even remember someone calling Jack on it and he was a bit sheepish in replying. He also noted his 'doritos' colour. :D

im just playing "devils advocate" here,if Jack was going to have "fake abs" put on etc...why wouldn't he "touch-up/remove" that loose skin from his pecs too?

Well, that's a bit more obvious. Remember the poster where Jack was the only one in a tank?
/and I would assume, there is a good reason he has his hands clasped over his lower abs ;)
//not hatin' just sayin'

Thanks - he somehow reminds me of Cutler in his younger years.
Seemed very prone to a bloated belly - even as early as 1995/96.

It was air brushed on her body for the photo as "Strong Woman" in the Freak Show photo shoot. She really didn't have abs like that.

come on, the hair gave him away, didn't it. they really credit Bannout with the first real christmas tree, but this is 9 years earlier. mind you, Paul did end up competing in the Transplant Games a few years later.

Some credit De Mey with the 1st christmas tree.

YEAH,that when local bbing shows were really good ,most guys in those lineups really had nat level builds,today every show locally is a national qualifier,maybe a guy who needs to requalify comes in and blows every one away and looks leaps and bounds above the other contestants ,cause he or she needs to requalify.its good to push shows and more qualifiers to go to next level,but the quality not quanity needs to be there.
