Victor was big but he looks like every other guy on an IFBB stage these days, for his time he was huge but now he'd just be one of the crowd.

I think people have spread the myth of this clown long enough.

He DOES NOT LOOK ANY BIGGER than ANY CURRENT PRO!

In fact, He looks smaller.


There is NO WAY he is bigger than COLEMAN or CUTLER.


The ignorant are responsible for spreading the myth of Vic Richards.

Furthermore,

He has a short-torso and short bones and is from that same tribe of Nigerian "Yahoos" as that boxer Samuel Peter that exhibit these skeletal tendencies. FACT!

Thick bones give an illusion.  They both have the Nigerian Blockhead, thick limbs.

You all have been had.

I have seen Victor (in his prime) many times up close and personal
(a friend of mine who owned a gym in Lynn Mass was good friends with Vic,and Victor would visit him a lot)
now i have seen most other pros as well (Cutler,Ronnie etc)
Victor blew me away (he was that big!)
as far as pure mass freaks ...for his time he reigned supreme

he drew a crowd wherever we brought him
(nite-club,beach,mall etc)

i think like someone said the guys today have caught up with him
he was ahead of his time...............

Thickest bodybuilder ever. Imagine being 15 years old weighting 215 pounds of muscle at 5'9" and being the strongest guy without even training! Then somebody drags him to the local Golds where the barbarian brothers where training. We they saw Rich they pointed at him and yelled at him "You! You have what it takes to train with us. After just a few years he was stronger than both brothers!

yes he is impressive...especially in the gym and magizine pics...but on stage it would be a different story... he would have been no threat to take the olympia title...like i said if he ever stood on stage next to dorian at his best it would not even be close...dorian would have totally dominated vic.

I agree with you....but one problem when it comes to competitive bodybuilding.....Dieting down.  Vic hated it.  Lucky enough for him he made more money just guest posing.

I agree....if he was on the same regime as the rest of the pro's today...he would be bigger...probably even than Ronnie.  He still would not be anywhere near the same conditioning as the rest of the guys.

You are looking, like WHAT, that means my body produces more testosterone than an average male. That translates to faster muscle growth and continual muscle growth.

He didīnt want to answer any questions, but gave the usual "train hard and eat right speach.
He said there that he ate up to 20.000 calories a day from only CLEAN food!! Total bs!

A few years later Dorian was here in offseason shape (similar to vics) and i can promise you that Vic was NOT near Dorians develpment!! I have NEVER seen bigger calves than Dorians in my life, and he said they were around 21-21,5 inches (he didnt know for sure). So the claim of Vic having 24 inch calves is total bullshit!  ::)

People wouldn't be so harsh on Richards, if he wouldn't make such disparaging comments about other bodybuilders, while refusing to compete himself.

Again, I haven't even seen any pics from the contest where he turned pro, the 1992 Nigerian Championships. Of course, the alleged "powers-that-be" were out to get him, so to stick it to him, he took advantage of his dual citizenship to turn pro.

Plus, it's been documented that Richards ain't the greatest of sportsmen, especially when he loses to someone smaller but better-conditioned. Rich Gaspari said that he beat Richards once in a teenage bodybuilding show and Richards threw a tantrum.

Can you imagine if he competed today but got beat by someone like Darrem Charles?

I used to speak to Vic a lot a few years ago and got to know him a little. I never got the impression that he hated to diet. He never said anything bad about any of his peers , to me anyway. He did seem pretty bitter about the fact that Weider was so rich and almost all of the competitors were broke and never got anything back from the sport. He said he never saw the logic in trying to kill yourself over a trophy.

He said the only reason that he turned pro was he used to get a lot of guest posing appearances for NPC shows and a certain someone told the promoters that hiring Vic was taking away from the pros so they were not to hire Vic since he was not a pro.

I once brought up the 30,000 cal story a nd he just laughed. He said it was more like 12,000 and it just got blown out of proportion.

I used to speak to Vic a lot a few years ago and got to know him a little. I never got the impression that he hated to diet. He never said anything bad about any of his peers , to me anyway. He did seem pretty bitter about the fact that Weider was so rich and almost all of the competitors were broke and never got anything back from the sport. He said he never saw the logic in trying to kill yourself over a trophy.

He said the only reason that he turned pro was he used to get a lot of guest posing appearances for NPC shows and a certain someone told the promoters that hiring Vic was taking away from the pros so they were not to hire Vic since he was not a pro.

I friend of mine was an old Room mate of his....so thats where I come up with the fact he really hated the cutting down (dieting) side.

I got to know Vic back in 97, he was a really cool cat and pretty damn strong.....I personally saw him step on the scale at 325 with abs.....and yes Adonis, the man was extremely large, you don't know everything bro, just accept it

Victor looks unbelievably narrow in that shot above, it looks like he's been pushed together from the sides of his body

The problem with your picture comparison is the same problem when we look at Sergio pics.  What someone looks like standing alone can be VASTLY different than when in comparison to someone else.  Victor would have DWARFED Sean Ray had they competed against one another.  Assuming he was in contest shape he would have carried roughly 40-50 lbs more weight at a similar height.

You do have trouble with photos, don't you.  Lol, I am surprised you are not claiming Vic's arms are no more than 19"...

Anyway, the guy has a huge head which makes his shoulders appear less broad.  Put a normal human next to him and you will see he was plenty broad.

not only is he narrow but he has no traps, very small delts compared to his arms and his legs are smooth as silk.

guys...these pics are like from the mid 80's......i trained at golds in toronto where vic often visited (think he had family here) and the guy was a TANK. Remember how much nutrition (we didnt have whey at all) , "SUPPLEMENTS" (GH was like from another planet then....) have come since then....you cant compare, the guy was as absolute mass monster in the day......hell next you'll be comparing Larry Scott to Dorian Yates.....LOL....

I believe that if Victor got himself shredded in the 80s early 90s, he would have won the olympia only if he could have improved his back...With his very high lats, i don't think he would have been able to...He would be a massive verson of strydom...Huge in every pose but the back...However even with all this said, he still may have been able to pull it off just because he would have been about 25 to pounds heavier then haney...He would have had haney beaten in almost every post except back poses...He just may have been to freaky to lose...

well to me its tells me that he didn't use escliene(sp) or anything like that...Imagine if he used that same amount that kevin L. put in his delts...The guy would have been as wide as cutler...

In that era he outweight hany by at least 40-50 pounds. But hany had that perfect shoulder to waist ratio and his chest/back combo would beat Vic alone.
