My fitness inspiration, seeing Rocky 4 inspired me to get into the gym as a kid, guy is still an inspiration to this day, he might be a walking chemical experiment, but the guy is defying time!

i remember arnold once said he never met anyone with the willpower of sylvester stallone.

coming from arnold thats quite a compliment.

ive always been amazed at the condition he has kept at his age, ,drugs or not. stallone will always be my favorite actor.

no one will ever take his place either.

He got shredded for Grudge Match which was very recent I think he was 68 when they filmed it.

Sly also had the balls to manipulate his weight upwards to play the Sheriff in Copland (another good film by him).

One of my favorite actors..

Stallone has been a staple for a long time. I can still remember seeing Rocky in the movie theaters for the first time back in the mid-70's with my old man.

Didn't think Sly had more money than Arnold. The more you know!

I'm sure that Arnie had more than Sly at one point though, during the the Terminator 2-era.

Stallone can act.
Looking back it's kinda comical that both were thrown into the same niche.

Agree a much better Actor than Arnold.

LOL - I hardly think me classing a film as 'good' defines me as just a Stallone nut hugger....

I was also hugging the nuts of De Niro, Keitel, Liotta, and let's not forget Frank "fetch your shinebox" Vincent among maaaaaany others...

amazing that when he was starving and broke the production company wanted to buy his Rocky script and put Redford in the lead roll. he stuck to his guns when he could have really used the couple hundred grand they were offering. had he have sold, it is unlikely that any of us would have ever heard of him.
talk about a pivotal moment in his lifetime. kinda like uncle ricco from napoleon dynamite!!

v 'if coach woulda put me in we woulda won state and we'd be living in an mansion'!!

No it didn't. Copland was an underrated movie.

It's a slideshow not a video, but if you're a Sly fan there are some nice shots in there

Father Time man... sheesh... $:-\$

Some of the pics seem mismatched from the timeframe. Still, looks like he got on some sort of HRT program in his late thirties/early fourties. Thonking about follow his example.

Stallone's a mega-man (no homo).

Voice of Doom · « **Reply #48 on:** May 23, 2016, 03:51:52 PM »

look...I like Stallone too but some folks here are getting a little carried away on the Arnold comparisons..

Let's bring this back to reality.

If Stallone wrote a book about his training and life it would be worth buying. Guy has had a quality of life and physique in the long term above anyone.
