Shame Bertil Fox was a murdering psycho...dude was fucking insanely built
-
.
-
Charles Clairmonte and Johhny Fuller
-
.
I like it that Sean said "fuck that! I ain't shaving shit!"
-
Bertil Fox & Brian Buchanan the best of the whole bunch.
-
James llewellyn best physique to aspire to look like. Ripped and thick set.
-
daz ball is a fucking monster freak
-
Isn't Stephan Havlik living in GB now? And how about James Lewis' huge work out partner who is now a pro wrestler (I think)?
-
Daz is a mountain of a man :)
-

Andy Watts,lhw champ in 88 when doz won the hw.
-
Vince Brown
-
Who is the guy in the thong next to Flex Lewis? ???
-
Brian Buchanan at age 20
-
Pete Chapman
-
My old training partner Linkie Wilson
-
Roger Bartley at age 21
-
Billy Payne,Dorians old training partner and the man with the best potential i`ve ever seen.
-
Vince Brown
Remember the YouTube vid I posted up of him a few yrs back? Dude had a INSANE chest!
And Eddie Abbew has been in bigger movies than Levrone! Underworld, bitches...
-
Parker,heres a video of Billy Payne.
-
Parker,Vince Brown and Pete Chapman used to train together and Pete had massive pecs as well,just look at his side chest shot in this routine.
-
I like it that Sean said "fuck that! I ain't shaving shit!"
But he did:

Crownshep, that dude Billy Payne was no joke.
Why did he stop competing?
It is interesting to note that some of the very best rarely step foot on stage. I can think of: Jeff King (could have given Haney a run for his money had he been NPC), Ray Mentzer (I know someone who saw him at 290 in the days that nobody was 290) and this guy.
How did he train?

Those pics are from 1990 and he had just qualified for the British Champs by beating Mick Theo,then a couple of weeks before the brits he pulled out of the show,i did read he broke his wrist,don`t know how true that was.Billys problem was getting shredded,he got in good shape,but not quite the condition that was needed back then.Mick theo won the heavyweights that year at the brits.Billy used to come to the nightclub i worked at,and at one point he was 270lbs in decent shape at 5"8`and all of a sudden dissappeared off the scene.He is back training and talking about a comeback next year,but he`s now in his late 40s so i don`t know if he intends on competing in a over 40s class or the heavies. Heres his facebook page.

Crownshep any stories about Clairmonte or Johnny Fuller?
-
Parker,heres a video of Billy Payne.
:o
wow, that was intense!
-
Never heard of Billy Payne Shep,but godamned awesome build.
-
Im pretty sure Yates and Payne were training partners back in 1991
-
He either should have pushed the necessary evelope back then, or just stayed "retired" from competition.
Why put yourself through those kind of rigors and supplement usage in your late 40's???
Dude was awesome, but I think doing what is required to get to that level at 45+ is foolish.
-
But he did:
so shawn connery was competitive bodybuilder??
-
i have trouble taking james llewelyn seriously since his claims on a board over here that i frequent had him claiming he's never gone above 500mg of test e a week ::)
-

Thats right,Dorian has said he is the strongest guy he ever trained with and both Doz and Peter McGough have said he had the best potential of anyone.Heres a few recent pics of him training from his facebook page.

The truth is he probably meant 500mg per day ::) typical bodybuilder always low dosing their gear doses

Is that UK-M?
That board is far too biased.
-
Peter Reid,who had a massive side chest pose.
-
Rob Wall
-
Charles Clairmonte at his best
-
Charles looks like he`s carved out of stone there,i`d take how he looks from 20 year ago compared to the olympia contestants of today.

X2, Charles looked far better in NABBA than in the IFBB, the lighting at the 1990 NABBA Universe was very good

Jasons a good friend of mine,he moved up to Nottingham a few years ago and used to come to the club i worked at,one of the most friendly guys you could meet.He just won the over 40 Universe title at the weekend.
First time i saw Terry Fisher i was 18,back in 1981 and entering my first show as a junior and Terry was guest posing,he was 19 at the time,he was backstage pumping up and i couldn`t believe his legs,they were Tom Platz like already at that young age.Saw him when he won the british middleweights in 1984.
Heres a couple of pics of Terry when he was 17,he`s 3rd from the right in the junior Britain,and in the middle of the second pic beating a 16 year old Brian Buchanan.

Terry Fisher winning the british middleweight in 1984
-
what is terry fisher doing these days?
does he still compete?
-
If I lived in the UK i'd be so angry that i'd probably take my aggression out on the weights too.
What a shitty country and culture.

Oh God that Sean Connery picture slugged pre-bond is from a movie called "Zardoz". It was made after he was largely finished with the Bond roles (1974). It is a movie I hate, but some are fanatical about it.
This movie has ruined Beethoven's 7th symphony for me, I think of this dismal movie everytime I hear it.

Shaun Davis
Met him years ago when he did a shop-promo and, later, a contest trophy thingy. Let's just say that Mr. Davis found, and made full use of, the pubs in our town. ;D

Aye, I seen a pic of him looking very small afterwards.

Used to go to Shauns house most weeks to see him and one time took a friend of mine with me,he was looking at all Shauns trophies like the Mr Universe and Mr Europe on the mantlepiece,when he spots a box on a table.He sits down on the chair and opens the box thinking there must be a medal of some sort in it,but inside was the perfect replica shedded skin of his wifes tarantula.He shot back of the chair and ended up on the floor. ;D
