Title: Casey Viator as a teen
Post by: hazbin on April 26, 2008, 10:57:18 AM
Moosejay is bringing up a lot of memories of 70's and 80's bodybuilding . i have a lot of mags from that era and may post some old pics as well. i wasn't there with the pros like Moose (i envy him for that, lucky bugger!!) but the pics are still cool and there are surely a few guys on here that want to see them.

Casey  is the only teen ever to win the overall Mr. America.  but i'm sure it will be pointed out by the most astute getbiggers that all the drugs he must have done 40 years ago are going to kill him right away!!!

Wasn't he part of the Colorado experiment, where he gained like a hundred pounds of muscle in a month or something crazy like that???

Yeah more like 40 lbs of previously lost muscle from injury. Comes back crazy fast compared to new muscle plus I understand that Arthur Jones' workouts were very brutal.

That second pic looks like Arnold's body with Casey's head slapped on it.

Casey gained 48 lbs. in 28 days. they said he also lost 17 lbs. of fat for a net muscle gain of 63+ lbs. lean mass gain. although looking at the before and afters, his bf% appears the same, which means he probably gained a couple pounds of fat.

nonetheless, an amazing re-growth of lost muscle!!

He severed a finger in an industrial accident when he was working at a bowling ball factory… then he got an infection.

Anyone read the MMI interview where he said he would start to get a boner when posing on stage, because it made him horny I guess. Weird dude.

So I'm assuming he picked up the split.

Again....the way he started his career...this is not the 'awesome' result he achieved in the end.

No different than any other washed up third tier Pro.

As a Teen....he was amazaing.  As an adult...he was good in the Pro's....but not someone would dubbed anymore the next Arnold.

Not many were as good as Arnold was anyway.

Casey was out of the sport for a while and lost some time,but I do see your point,although he got robbed a few times on stage.

How tall was he??? I read 5'10", but that just feels way too tall for him. He looked more like 5'8" or maybe 5'9". He was one big 240 pound mofo though and strong as hell. Him and Bertil Fox were benching over 500 pounds for reps in the early 80's.

He severed a finger while working on a trawler in the North Atlantic.

Bowling ball factory?  Viator was too manly to work in a bowling ball factory.
