Who the hell is this BIG guy on the right?

Swedee posted it originally but he had no idea either.

Apparently some of the others are MMA participants.

THE SCOTT, You could be correct. I met Grimik once during a lfiting and bodybuilding contest at the Embassy Auditorium in Downtown Los Angeles and he was apparently mad at one of the officials because he sure was grouchy.

But later on a friend of his said that that was his usual demeanor.

And I don't think that the York guys appreciated the LA area too very much.

And that was even before Weider arrived.

Yes, I recall hearing the same thing many years ago. I am pretty certain that is John C. Grimek as he, like all his contemporaries (and unlike the bloated whales of today) had a distinct, easily recognized physique.

1st shot ... Name them?

I don't know the guy in the white shirt. I assume he is the business partner of Chris Bell, who is in the black UnderArmour jacket. I think the movie in their hands is the documentary he made: Bigger Stronger Faster.

I can be wrong, but he looks a bit like Peter van der Veen, the Dutch bodyguard of Lady Gaga

FUNK, This is hte first time I've heard about Paul Wynter, Never even saw his photo. Was he from the east coast?

I'm gonna take a break and post some old and some newer photos, some of which I have taken and some of which I have not.

Some of you GetBiggers may recognize some of the people in these upcoming shots and you might even find yourself in one or two.

In most of the cases I'll not ID anyone and let you take a guess as to who/whom they may be.

Some of the individuals I don't know myself but I think their photos are appropriate for this board.

And in some spots I'll insert an "intermission' consisting of photos that are not bodybuilding related, but which you may find interesting nonetheless.

Gotta take this break because typing without a properly working cursor is one hell of a task.

All GetBiggers should be able to name two of the three individuals in this picture.

paul w was an english bodybuilder mostly competed in the nabba actually won there mr universe 2 times 60 and 66 when it mattered.

:)for someone who knows how to imbed videoes there's a great clip on youtube of clint walker showing his home gym .

For those who want to embed videos, you can copy the URL from the "share" box, but only post the last piece of it here using the YouTube embed button. So for the Clint video, the full URL is:

So you then copy only the last piece of it, after the "/" which is right after the "youtu.be"...

So I would only paste this into the youtube share brackets: 1IknyHOdKAQ

GREGZ, You are correct. I took that picture a couple of years ago at some Venice Beach function.

POWER, Thanks for that video embedding info. I'll give it a try later.

Jack LALANNE pulling a boat across San Francisco Bay.

There were people in that boat on many occasions. This was usually performed on his birthday.

JIM HAISLOP .... Great bodybuilder from Florida I believe.

Often mistaken for Wally Cleaver (Leave it to Beaver!)

Gene MOZEE (Photo above) is a living, walking, talking encyclopedia of all things bodybuilding - especially when it comes to bodybuilding on the West Coast.

Hidetada? I've never seen him looking like a 'men's physique competitor'.
Amazing what a broken wrist can cause in such a short time.
