I trained at golds venice for a while, and i think i saw him there a few times wearing bright green, striped spandex.  funny, cuz it was 2001...

if it wasn't him, it was his twin

obviously not a hardcore one.  this was in the aftermath of the titus/anthony fight.  People were talking about that one for a while.  That place was weird.

I never noticed his right bi being like that before. Is that a tear or just the insertion (about 3min mark)?

How much better were the earlier Battle for the Olympias. Seriously who can be bothered watching 15 hours of footage like the most recent ones. 5-10 minutes per bodybuilder is plenty.

That's about how long each segment was for BFTO '96.

Haha agreed. And Jay Cutlers training and life is only useful for putting you to sleep.

The footage from Pumping Iron, that made you want to train!

i dont get why peeps are posting him being under rated...

he got places he deserved when he competed. he didnt enter many shows though.

he had flaws like everyone else. a few videos of him training arent a fair gauge.

he was good, but others at the time were better...simple as that.

he did place too low at the 98 olympia

i don't think anybody believes he should've been a top 3 bodybuilder but there is no way he deserved to be out of the top 10 in any show

I disagree

I think he was a top notch bodybuilder
