Title: Rory Leidelmeyer
Post by: WillGrant on August 15, 2010, 03:54:12 AM
I know BeefyHW is a friend and huge fan of Rory , I am to a "fan"..Those B/W pics I first saw in the early 90s in MMI as a teen starting out lifting , I was dammm now thats the build I want to pull the bitches  ;D

Dont know why he never sort of made bigger ripples in the pond with a well balanced and awesome shape , was it he just couldnt carry the mass that the judges wanted to see with the start of the Dorian era? maybe health ? though he has been back into it the last couple of years though now bald.

What makes you think he's bald. He looked like he had a decent head of hair in that recent movie clip posted here.

Probably one of the greatest bodybuilders never to turn pro.

Post by: Parker on August 15, 2010, 04:16:13 AM
Looked great, as was said the one of the few of the greatest to never win a pro card, right up there with Matt M., and Edgar Fletcher...

And by this pic, Rory was the only white man who could get away with wearing a du-rag

A classic great physique, strong as hell as well from what I've read. Not the bloated ass shit we see today.
Title: Re: Rory Leidelmeyer
Post by: wes on August 15, 2010, 05:33:01 AM
Rory was great,but never brought it (conditioning) on contest day and always had a lot of tough competitors in his class.

Tall, full head of hair, no gut, small waist, proportionate, no bloat.

Had he gone pro though would he have fucked up his physique trying to get massive?
Charles Clairmonte when he won the Nabba Worlds had physique same as Rory's but after a few years in the pro ranks he was much bigger but not as impressive

Rory had a hard time bringing in his conditioning due to his substance usage coming up to a show, not diet.

I remember when Rory was training the big fat failure Tony Mandarich.  Mandarich, the only person on earth to lose weight but gain fat at the same time-fail.

No, one of the best shots I've ever seen of Rory but Bob won on that day. A lesson of the student beating the teacher.

Yes.

so what substances are you talking about and why did it only effect Rory and not the rest of the gang ?
Title: Re: Rory Leidelmeyer
Post by: Immortal_Technique on August 15, 2010, 09:53:04 AM
From the front Rory's thicker and similar level of aesthetics I think. Don't know about the back, probably a different story.

Usually amphetamines and coke. Bob wouldn't touch coke (from what I can remember) and neither would Jon (Aranita). It's no secret that back then a lot of guys would use to get ready for shows.

Post by: Coach is Back! on August 15, 2010, 10:22:35 AM

Yes. But Bob would take very little in the way of anything. He was afraid of taking any drug.

Totally agree, Clairmonte looked amazing when he was in NABBA but lost the detail when he tried to up the size in the IFBB, great boybuider though

Jon had the opportunity to jump into this gym and kept him busy, and then got married to Gloria some 20 + years ago probably realizing bodybuilding was no way to support a family. Bob and Jon were the smart one's, Rory and I were the "late bloomers".

i remember this guy they did an article about him in sports illustarted entitled the incredible bulk. he was all hype , when he got to the pros reggie white threw him around like a rag doll, coiurse reggie pretty much did that to everyone. i remember  seeing a college game where a little 240 guy owned this 320 pound mass of gooo.

I think so to , Bob has more width and flair to his pecs giving him a look of being wider when in reality They are proberly the same but rory deff outmuscles him , it could also be how they are standing/semi flexing

Problem was that Rory looked the same relaxed or flexed - he just never got completely "dry" at contest time.

Look at the pics from Bob Paris at his Universe win and the guy looked computer generated.

If I remember, it seemed that were several of Rory's disciple's that also seemed to copy his hairstyles and whatever mustache style he was sporting. What was that about, Coach? Was he some kind of Guru that made his students imitate him?
