Too tall for bodybuilding.

Should have stuck with Palumbo. If he is not in the Top 5 here and not in th e Top 3 at the Arnold I'd say yes.

Far from done...

He has more than enough size and better shape than guys 50 pounds lighter  ;)

peaking for the arnold maybe?  Or is that just wishful thinking?  Even soft still has that everyman muscle look that guys would love to look like and girls wouldn't say gross to.  Its all about the X-frame. . . you can have all the muscle in the world and you wont look bad to females if you have this shape.

Watch the 2006 BFTO.  Gunter looked awesome leading up to the Mr. Olympia and Toney was flat.  By contest day, things got reversed and Toney beat Gunter.  It's amazing how very slight adjustments can make a world of difference in bodybuilding contests.

To ask if he's done is to imply he made it, which he did not. One Pro Ironman does not make a champion.

He is on the way out.... Too old. The body does not respond
like it does for athletes in their mid to late 30's.

fremen? where you thinking about SEMEN perhaps when you wrote that?

Wow. Well, at least we know that Toney is up in Heaven doing some monster drop sets with Lee Priest and Ronnie Coleman!

Toney RIP! The world will miss you!

He looked pretty darn bad at the show. His pec tear is really obvious when he's not in condition.

He still has incredible potential if he gets it together.

I'll tell you what though, I'm really tired of seeing bodybuilder's come out posing to 50 cent, etc. thinking they're gangsta' thuggs. What a joke!

It's also is horrible for the sport.

I don't care if they're black, chinese or a really dumb white guy. They need to choose, bodybuilder or gangsta' ;)

Exactly, bodybuilders should pose to death/thrash metal.

Ok..here's what I don't get (I admit that my knowledge of modern bodybuilding is limited) but didn't Dave Palumbo look like shit .... like the most disgusting mutant, hideous parody of a bodybuilder ever seen..and didn't he also get convicted of selling fake drugs. So, why is he welcomed back into the fold and given a  show to host and status as a 'prep guru' ? Surely this charlatan should be shunned and disowned by the industry?

Did you see VPX dropping big $$$ into the fit expo??? Did they even have a booth? No...how did Toney place. This entire sport revolves around money!!!

I agree, just saw the IM tape and feel he can still do damage in the ASC lineup if he comes in ripped.

Awesome "semi pro" bodybuilder Dave "Jumbo" Palumbo is an innocent man! He has the right to sell all the fake GH in the world, ruin his body, become a parody of the human race and be an all around failure if he wants!

Judge not lest ye' be judged!

I dont have any personal beefs with him. But when you see him how can you think about anything else other than he is a piece of shit for selling fake shit???

just wasn't sharp enough compared to the rest of the competition.

Post by: cht868 on February 18, 2008, 04:33:33 AM
didn't look bad, just had a bit of fat and water, if he can knock it off he'll do well at the arnold, he won't win but could place as high as 4-5

Well he is not an athlete, so he shouldnt have to worry.

I agree, Billy Guns is is proof enough to the "majic" Palumbo can work! :D

He was way better than at the Olympia, but not in real top shape. When you compete in a Field with more than 30 Prof. Bodybuilders, it will cost you many places.
If he came 5 lbs. lighter he will be in Top-Condition, or close to, and he have "the old X-man" back.

Toney was FAT! That's why he didn't place. It had nothing to do with money!

Why are you guys writing him off? He was just a tad bit FLAT not fat. He's a great competitor & great competitors bounce back hard. Watch in 2 weeks your gonna be praising him again!!
