Title: Rich Gaspari is either a liar, delusional or both
Post by: Submissionfytr on May 11, 2013, 03:59:56 PM
Just got around to reading his MD columns from a few months ago, and he's full of shit about what weights he claims to have lifted. He may have been a force in his day, but at a cheeseburger ove 200 lbs there's no way he's putting up numbers he claims. Talks about barbell rows with over 405 on the regular, and even Lee Haney said before Yates and Coleman, nobody was rowing with 4 plus plates a side (Haney admits 275 was heaviest he went). You would think with all Gaspari has accomplished he wouldn't need to lie about shit that doesn't even matter in his "sport."

I rowed 365 at a buck 90 with decent form. Looks believable for a midget.

Haney could have done well over 275, remember his motto, "Stimulate, don't annihilate".

x2, talk about narrow....Gaspari was a neck and then arms..

I think if Haney really wanted to, he could have thrown up some big numbers. But, it might have resulted in injury.

Gaspari drives a Lamborghini. Who cares about what he lifts.. he is not a powerlifter.

Post by: oldtimer1 on May 11, 2013, 05:59:21 PM
Remember prior to Yates no one was doing these almost standing upright bend over rows. Haney and the rest use to bend over parallel to the floor. That really limited the weight used.

he did either 405 or 495 for reps in his training video. Pretty sure it was 495

It was 405. Guy used piddly weights for the most part. (His physique was phenomenal, regardless.) The 405 was for the video, clearly. And he banged out only three or four (hard) reps. His training partner, Rope Man, bested this, if I recall. But, yeah, the weight was 405. I clearly remember.

i have seen many powerlifters hoist and herk and jerk to get a weight up......yes....... they got the weight up



but they didn't stimulate their muscles at all.



powerlifting and bodybuilding are two different animals.


just my 2 cents.

i think that the only reason gaspari placed second ahead of many good guys.....was because of his insane conditioning and fantastic leg development.



there were quite a few bbers more pleasing to the eye.....ie benfatto, labrada, pastel, demey and quinn...to name a few.

Early in his career Rich  was extremely thick and round and I think it was around 1989 he lost that trademark look. After that it was all downhill.

95? What show? One of Rich's mistakes was he tried to streamline his physique for the Olympia one year, big mistake.  Here's 94 lost some thickness especially in chest tore his pec but still not his usual thickness that was his trademark.
