I can't believe people are falling for this garbage.... Recently posted on Rx...
"
ARMS got up to 23 1/2.......... QUads almost 34....... my waist (where you wear your pants) never required that I wear anything bigger than a 36 inch wast pair of pants.....calves were 21.........
SQUAT was 750
BENCH was 500
DEAD was 600 (750 with straps)
BEHIND THE NECK SHOULDER PRESS was 315 for 6
I believe i was able to grow that big because everything I ate turned to muscle.........I never got fat (bloated yes, but not fat)......so it was just a matter of how much food I could consume daily. To get to 319, I was eating ridiculous amounts of food. "

I don't know about the numbers but I've seen him in his prime....He was fucking huge and I've seen everyone there is to see.

Palumbo was seriously jacked back in the day. Never really had the structure and shape to do well though.

Exactly.
Despite what he turned into in the end and despide what you think about the man, he was a monster.
-
Respect.
He was huge. hes still huge by gym standards....220 and lean i think.
-
36 inch waist...right, right...
-
319? That's what Coleman and Ruhl had Off-Season ::)

He actually was the size...that's not being disputed...or the fact that his structure was shit.

He used to look impressive.

Do straps really help that much? Will they be selling powerlifting gear at the Olympia expo?

In fact, Dave is more or less what I would expect retired bodybuilders to look like who still train and attempt to follow basic bodybuilding principles perhaps in addition to some HRT. He is still around 220 and lean as said at a height of 5'10-5'11 which is by no means small. Yes, he would be small for a competitive bodybuilder but he is not currently one and that's the relevant point here. Other pros have shrunk down to my size after retiring but Dave still has some size and condition. Like I said, that is where I would expect a pro with good genetics for bodybuilding to end up even after retiring. I have no idea how much he is still using these days, if any.

and keep in mind he cant even lift his arms above his shoulders.
He is still on yes. But lowered it alot in the last months due to health reasons ive been told.

If you have girly grip.

Dave is around the same height as Jason Huh, who is around 5'6-5'7

I saw Dave Palumbo, guest pose in 1996 at the Emerald Cup.He was huge but he had the biggest GH gut I remember.He walked on stage and he was big, but his stomach was so distended he looked akward.He looked like a gorilla he was so big.At the time, I didnt even didnt know what A GH gut was .

That dude who played the brother was funny, especially when dude was wearing women's panties, and he was iconic in Aliens "15 meters, game over, Game OVER!"
-
Dave was a gym bodybuilder but a big guy.
-
36 inch waist...right, right...
He said "36 inch pants" not waist. Learn to read.

I call bullshit.

calling BS on the arm and leg size, those are Ronnie like sizes or bigger. I believe the 36 inch pant since most bodybuilders with huge guts can get the pant to sit under the large part of the gut, 36 -probably = 40 inch waist
-
He used to look ok. :)
-
What size was his forehead? 4 x 4?

Nothing gay about bodybuilding.
-
A 34 - 36 inch relaxed waist can fit in a size 32 jeans. He had no quad sweep also. Awful front double biceps, his triceps disappeared. Obvious synthol in arms
-
LOL, he must have had a lawyer help him with that waistline comment. He never actually came out and declared the measurement, but rather what size of elastic stretch Crazy Wear pants he favored.
-
Oh.. AND...I don't dispute Dave's lifts at all. He was a big wop spending 3 grand a month of gear and GH with no real responsibilities. Lots of people in that situation could find time to get plenty strong. Love the guy.
-
Dayum, his ass is his biggest bodypart-- besides his head.
-
Schmoe alert!!

You should hook up with Mike A.

Dave was still pretty big when I met him and I'm not sure if he was saying 23 inches pumped but he had some big arms. Romano on the other hand wasn't as big as I expected and had a bad habit of pulling his shirt up to people to show his wrinkled abs.
The one person that was huge was Colette. She has some guns on her.
