My favourite physique ever... always wondered what "could have been" if not for the cancer scare, and if he was able to pull off his '90s comeback ala Matt Mendenhall in '91, because those later pics with the long hair he looked ludicrous!

Not a midget either.

Jason Blaha has as much muscle mass as Serge, mathematically.

Serge was no slouch either at 6 ft and he's making him look short

Tall, jacked, handsome with a full head of hair. I also heard he was strong as fuck too.

Definitely, one of those guys that look more God than human.

Would have made a great Hercules.

I wonder if he's managed to keep that handsome head of hair? Because every other f*#cker I used to look up to in the 80s/90s is now BALD!!! (Or so it seems, am I wrong?)

the year was 1977. orange country classic bodybuilding contest held at Anaheim high school,in a big assembly room. i was 19, just started to lift weights, starting to really get into lifting.
went to the contest to check it out. got there kind of late, took a seat. back then, there were not that many competitors that there are now. watched for a while, trying to figure it out.
then mike glass, who was the MC, said and now for out guest poser, RORY LEIDELMEYER. he walked by me on the way to the stage, and at 300 pounds, i almost shit myself.

first of all, i didn't know that someone could get that big. he was huge. i was freaked out on how big he was. he went up on stage and did his thing. i was hooked.

a few years later, i heard he was at a gym in Whittier working out. don't know why i didn't go down there to lift with him,(and probably would have got hooked up with some good drugs) but i never went.

still remember that night in Anaheim. still lifting at a get 59

I used to train in the same gym for about 9 months or so in the early 90s, Block's Gym in Plasencia. Rory and Serge Nubret trained together. Seeing them used to be a routine/normal thing. Never spoke to either one due to being too scared to approach. I kick myself now.

Serge has stated he was 5'11". Serge was also barefoot and Rory in heeled boots under those pant legs.

I have a Muscle and Fitness magazine from the early 80's where they say Rory was 5'11". I also have read he was as tall as 6'2", so not sure.
