Very nice seeing Rory again, coming to support Jon Lindsay's 2008 Orange County Muscle Classic last Saturday, April 19th, 2008... after prejudging, we talked with a few people, including Lonnie Teper and Shawn Ray, who said that Rory was the greatest bodybuilder never to turn pro. Lots of interesting stories about Rory...

In Japan, they call him Loly Leidelmeyel.
Just thought I would point that out.

like a playtex tampon, may not be number one, but he is right up there!!
-
Matt Mendenhall FTW.
-
lonny teper.
-
one of the greatest BB shots of all time...both guys are exactly what BB is all about:
-
Mendenhall and Jeff King come to mind....
-
there's alot of guys...Edgar Fletcher, Mendenhall...jeff king but Rory is almost always brought up when this type of thread starts up, he's near the top that's a given.
-
Dave Palumbo comes to mind..... ::)
-
Rory and Bob were traning partners too. Bob complained about Rorys training/diet methods in his book Gorilla Suit where Rory would have him bulk up too get fat on 6000 kcal aday, old school style. When Bob stopped training with him he said he went down to 3000 kcal aday and got better results.
-
Nick Nilson comes to mind

these days we have jay cutler and trey brewster ::)
-
wow, he is UGLY! lol
i agree, Pulumbo is the best who never turned pro...
-
these days we have jay cutler and trey brewster ::)
So BB has digressed is what you are saying ?
-
one of the greatest BB shots of all time...both guys are exactly what BB is all about:
I agree I admire the athletic looking physiques of the 80s and early 90s. And both those guys are over 6' with waists maybe about 30". The IFBB is getting back to that with Dexter, Heath, Wolf, newcomer Evan Centopani and if he doesn't add to much size Kai.
-
I've really gotta have a talk with him about looking like a cholo >:(

Was there something, Joe Dirt?

shawn is still in top shape

Yeah......he looks like a cholo.

Great pic, man! Anyone in his right mind should want and strive for that type of physique. Not the "I'm 5'7, 240 pounds shredded, 280 off season and I sure look like a mutant but haven't been able to lace my own shoes in the past five years".
-
"I'm 5'7, 240 pounds shredded, 280 off season and I sure look like a mutant but haven't been able to lace my own shoes in the past five years".
Don't forget, "my girlfriend has to wipe my ass after I get done shitting with a motel towel, I'm too buff to be able to reach it"
-
I've really gotta have a talk with him about looking like a cholo >:(
LOL. I was thinking Rock of Love, myself.
-
Don't forget, "my girlfriend has to wipe my ass after I get done shitting with a motel towel, I'm too buff to be able to reach it"
Yeah but Kovacs was already innovating. He tried to push the whole thing to another level which was basically "Although I'm a part of the human specie, I want to appeal to that female silver back gorilla at the local zoo". As a result he couldn't wipe his own ass.
-

no man they dont say the "L". Rory Reidermeyer is correct as per the engrish for dummys.
-
shawn is still in top COCK SUCKING shape
Fixed.
-
BTW, I am going to have to go with Mendenhall as the best to never go pro-followed by Rory.......
As to Jeff King, did he not compete in the Pro Nabba UNIVERSE???
-
epic mullett, doo rag, 6 gold chains, 53 year old wearing a shirt designed for a 22 year old, bushy unibrow, vacous tough guy stare, 13 inch neck and overall mexican look.
-
oops almost forgot the sunglasses hooked onto the neck of the shirt.
-

I agree, Al. That was exactly what many of us were shooting for in the 80's.

Excellent physique in his prime.
Looks like a douchebag now.

If you saw me home, post-surgery, as I am right now...lost abnout 15 pounds of muscle and gained 15 pounds of fat (skinny fat)...can't practice regular hygiene because of casts and bandages...and bags under my eyes from not sleeping...and compared me now to one of my comp photos fromn even 5 years ago
I guess
You'd call me a douchebag, too.
Give Rory a break...he's many years removed from his prime.
God willing, you will get old, too.

He looks ok for his age. Probably still works out a bit.
I was referring to the mullet, bandana, silver cross, sunglasses, ...
Good luck with the recovery douchebag!

The Propblem with Rory is that he never came into a show like this because he was an Orca during the off season..... if he ever showed up looking liek this he could be called Mr. America, Champion, greek god.....

Now that is insane.
-
Thing with Rory is that he would either come in TOO light, at 192 pounds. He was a 6 footer, or he would balloon up to 280 pounds in the offseason and by the time of the competition, he was still way too waterlogged at 235-250 pounds to do any serious damage. At his best, he had a crazy physique.

Shawn - Can anyone else just see 8) when they see shawn these days?
-
great bodybuilder but man he look like a little penis puffer nowadays, looks like you could just walk up and bitch slap him and he'd do nothing.

Interesting, so looking at that pic of Rory makes you imagining him sucking cock.

no i'm just saying he looks like a pussy there is all, you're reading too much into it "big guy". :D

Oh, sorry. ;D

Some of you people on here need to lighten the f**k up. Personally I know Rory has gone through some hard times over the years with cancer, separation from his wife and the passing of Joe Valdez and I've been there for alot of that and for all the things he has gone through there are very few who would be able to stay as positive as he has. Bodybuilding is still his life and he still trains people who win because of him to this day. Rory admittedly does have a huge ego but if he didn't have that ego, he might be dead.
In the pics that Ron posted, Rory is about 2 months from having more cancer removed but it looks like they got it all this time, he can't really train right now because they had to shave some bone from his shoulder but he has most of his ROM back and should be able to do something soon. To tell you the truth, I'm pretty sure that this is the first time in years that he has even been to a show. So c'mon, show some freaking respect!!
P.S. I still have to have a talk with him about that get up :-\
-

You're in your prime now and I doubt Rory's too impressed with your 300 lbs, 15 inch arm look. ;)

awsome.

Mendenhall at the 86 Nationals was a tad off, but he dominated in size, structure, symmetry and proportion. He made Strydom and Rory look small.

quick question Moosegay, when the f*ck did we actually gave a f*ck ? Old dude post some pics of Katz and Kal and he thinks we want to know when the last time he took a shit was ....
