who was it who came up with this term palumboism that is now in the webster dictionary-jk. was it somebody on this board? I know it has been used since I joined getbig back in 2005.
-
Id like to think it was a getbig term, I joined around then, the last days of the squad... The old clips with aliens bursting out his stomach were funny as fuck..
I wonder if he feels like woody harilson in kingpin....

Ok now it's coming back I remeber that thread. I think marble was a steroid moderator like myself. That was really the first thread? so it was marble from getbig who coined this famous phrase?

I worked as a production assistant on the movie Kingpin. Brings back good memories. I actually thought Vanessa Angel wanted to sleep with me but I was too intimidated to make a move on her, sadly. Regrets.....I've had a few.

Doesn't sound like you did it any way at all, stud. ;D

Actually I got laid a lot on that film. I just didn't make a move on her b/c she was a "star" at the time. Had that show Weird Science. She was smoking hot, too. If you want to get laid, work in the entertainment industry. Please don't call me stud, it's creepy. :D

No, the first thread was a lot funnier and it was deleted so Marble put up a cleaner version of it. Yes, he was a mod over steroids.....I think he may have went to prison for something. Not sure

Kingpin is one of the few comedies that actually rivals Dumb and Dumber.

I am still waiting for someone to bring it up to Pulombo himself on air or during an interview.

damn me too. I never have heard anybody ask dave how he feels about it. Knowing dave he dosn;t take it oo seriously. I know dave a little and he is a really nice, down to earth guy.

I asked him about it a long time ago and he told me that he's doesn't really care about it. Even all the IFBB pros are aware of it. Notice that Lee doesn't ask what it is but goes right into the answer

Yeah I saw this video and that's what actually made me post this question ,the way lee just jumps into the answer-lol. Lee used to post here as I recall.

and he mentioned twice it was in 1996, didnt slip up so i think he's truthful liars always slip up

Good question WW
-
I think Getbigers.
Telling the truth, Who?
-
First saw that word in this forum.
-
i found it mention on steroid.com forum as early as 2004.
"No Kovacs really looks like that. He has been diagnosed with a rare disease called Palumboism (Palumbism)."
-
It started here. 100% certain. I was in on the original thread but I believe it's been deleted.
-
The old thread
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=26737.0
-
I think Getbigers.
Telling the truth, Who?
I believe it was here. Back when Palumbo was competing, or shortly thereafter, I think.
-
kamali cited as a subject with newly aquired palumboism in the original thread. Haha
-
I'd so hate to be Palumbo and have my last name associated with everything that is gross to others in regards to the perfect build.
-
I did. It was me. I created it. I invented it.
-
I still think Getbig was the originator, even though it shows up on Steroid.com in late 2004 (scroll to #27) -
http://forums.steroid.com/pictures-pro-bodybuilders/112303-375lb-beef-monster.html .
They mention it, but they also link to a censored thread with six letters in the name. I agree with Wiggs, it was probably in a deleted thread back then, I do remember it showed up a few times before the classic thread by Marble.
-
LOL was just thinking about this the other day. "Schmoe" originated here, too, and you see that word used all over the place.
-
Yep. Me again.
-
Really!? :o :o
Well, Getbig is very important site for that reason.
-
I did. It was me. I created it. I invented it.
You must be Getbigga Rich from the royalties alone. :D

Hope this Helps and ...of Peace as well.

Marble created the expression. He was a truth teller in the old days (when EQ was the shit and not tren)
-
kyomu mind asking paco his thoughts about palumboism? He has been accused of it quite a bit in the past.
-
"In advanced Palumboism the outer dermis takes on a crackly brittle look, almost as if the patient has been glazed or varnished like a ceramic souvenier."
-
Lacquered. Shellacked.

I have seen it several other places on the internet but remember hearing about it here first. I was just on a thread on a boxing forum talking about Andre Berto, and someone mentioned palumboism.
http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=546977
-
Yes.

Here's the picture of Berto they were referring to:

Yes, it's from here.

Dave Palumbo has a flawless and untarnished legacy.
-
if you look in the new funk and wagnalls dictionary under palumboism the second pic of dave comes up...

here is another guy who suffered from this dreaded disease... :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

But does palumbo know that his name inspired this derogatory term?

Of course he knows, he just never addresses it.

There's no such thing as 'Palumboism'! It's people failing to control their transverse ABS!!! ;) ;) [repost x 3]

sadly, yup.

this has been recently discussed and there were no proof of this originating from getbig

I guess it's somewhat impressive that he was able to pack that much legit weight on his tiny frame. Dude was never meant to be big, by ANY measure really, see how tiny his pecs and legs are even at that weight. Arms were oiled up... same with inner pecs and I'm sure more areas I'm forgetting.

I was attending a small, local show in 97. He was the guest poser. What a monster he was. When he stepped down in the audience, the sistas were hanging all over him.... drooling.
-
Why does his face look so "lean"? Looks like stone.
-
The epitome of all drugs and terrible genetics. Sorry, Dave.

Terrible aesthetics, but he was a legit mass freak at one time.

And he had one of the most unaesthetic physiques. But, you know what, Flex Wheeler had said that Dave deserved a Pro card, maybe that was his inner "Sista" speaking.

Prob cos he was gunning for pro card when there were 2 awarded each year. Look at 91 and 92 nationals and compare to nowadays when mr south eastern 5 states featherweight winner gets a pro card.

Yeah. Flex had said this when he was newly retired, and so think was writing for MD. I think he said something about Dave's muscle quality. But Dave looked like an bad American example of Paco Bautista, his physique just hurts your eyes...you just think "that...that ain't right."

are the hair plugs part of the syndrome?

Wide waist and poofed out rib cage are what held him back. When he was at his prime, he had good size everywhere and great conditioning. Then his body clearly started rejecting the drugs and it was a shit show at that point. He did the best thing he could and threw in the towel and down sized big time. I'd say he definitely hit his potential for what he has.

I disagree that he had "good size" everywhere. He seemed to be one who lived/died by the scale, constantly boasting about how he was 300+ lbs, but nearly all of that weight was in his torso and massive ripped glutes of peace. He had average arms, tiny delts and smaller legs. Brought great conditioning sure, but that torso was a liability much likes Kovacs' was even when he was just starting out. It just isn't aesthetic at all.
Look at how tiny he was and this was probably late 80s or maybe even early 90s. Dude just wasn't meant to hold that mass!

Every photo is :-X

Really? Anabolic steroids add muscle mass to mammals. It's an unavoidable fact. If you take steroids, you will become bigger.

Well Dave, That was exactly my point. With enough drugs, food, and training anyone can become a bloofy, bloated, assembly of huge muscle bellies.
Genetics mean everything in bodybuilding. Receptors and injuries are an entirely different discussion (See Branch)

Drugs (and the individual's response) are a massive part of it, but I am positive that most people could not hold pro level mass (regardless of shape) no matter how many drugs they took or how well they trained and ate.
It is just such a world apart. The difference in size is insane.

Bullshit. Its what they want you to believe. Genetics are the point. It's what you look like when you are gassed.
Everyone can get "big" on the right stack. 85% genetics and 15% prep is the key (for the genetically elite)
For the rest?..............Gym rats and Youtube svengali's

No, but I bet Palumbo took a pharmacy to get there. And he had shit structure. Was he "freaky"? Sure. Was he a mass monster? Sure.
Did he get a pro card? No.

My point except that being able to carry that much muscle (which is ridiculous) is not attainable to most people even if they took pro cycles. Regardless of structure. Say he had legit 21 inch arms, that is 0.00001 percentile, excluding fatsos and the Kardashians.

That is precisely my point. Anyone taking a "pro cycle" who eats well, and trains regularly, will be a big bitch.
Lustral, it's chemicals, human biology, and genetics.

What are you implying? I'm sure Bostin was not taking the dosages of Palumbo.
Again, it is simple biology. Sure, there are certain genetic limitations, but every human being can grow huge on a pro bodybuilder cycle.
You want proof? Look at women's bodybuilding.

so palumbo was taking more than 13 grams a week? löl
the only thing thats big on bostin is his biceps (all synthol)

In that shot he looks like an average jnr bodybuilder with big (fake) arms... I was similar size and condition on a fraction at same age, as were most I competed with...its nothing special at all
Shizzo has no place talking about gear and size, I know guys who have blasted and barely look like they train let alone juice, they eat well and train very hard but just dont have the genes to use what they are taking, all that extra food and gear is wasted
-
Leffler looks bad there and is definitely showing signs of Palumboism, but in the last few years guys like Kamali and Lenny have taken things to a new low... a category beyond even Palumbo.

Exactly.
I was just this minute talking about a guy I know who has been competing nationally for the last 6 years, uber disciplined to the point that it has screwed his life up, "wins" qualifiers ( 2 qualifiers, 2 first places beating a total of 1 other competitor across both shows) and will have just done today's British.
He carries the size of a decent intermediate, has been training 20 years, gear for ten, and in the last 6 years put on about 5kg of muscle despite gear, GH, and working directly with Milos and his insulin protocols for 5 years. He just does not have the genetics / drug response to get big and it kills the poor addicted son of a bitch.

Hey guys I mostly lurk herer and only posted once or twice recently after actually signing up, so no doubt that puts me under suspicion of being some gimmick. So be it.
I've read various theories on 'what' palumboism actually is (cushing syndrome for example?) and so forth. I have insufficient medical knowledge (and for that matter am not in any danger of actually getting it) to know the ins and outs of that, though the symptoms do seem to line up somewhat (and for a few others). I'm also going to lump in the 'bubble gut' with palumboism, because (with no scientific evidence to back it up) I think it is likely the first stage of it, and at that stage likely able to be prevented from going to the full palumbo.
So rather than go there, I'm more interested in what (not as in what biochemical changes over time in the body, but rather what actions by the lifter) lead to it. So at best I'm going off of observation and wild speculation, but I'd appreciate some input.
Obviously guys in the 60s and 70s and somewhat beyond there didn't get it. Arguably they ran lower doses altogether and actually came off everything for breaks away from the competitions. According to people here, GH was being used back then so I tend to rule that one out, or at least in moderate (whatever that is) doses.
My hunch is it is a combination of the increased doses (but then again a lot of strength athletes surely run some massive amounts of gear and possibly gh too to help prevent injury and they don't tend to get it that I have seen) but then the addition of insulin. And at a guess, it would seem it takes a few years of insulin use (combined with all the rest) for it to manifest.
Reason I'm even asking this is that on another forum the topic of tim bellknap was mentioned, and that he was an insulin dependant diabetic (from childhood iirc) and that he was one of the people early on who figured out how to use insulin advantageously for bodybuilding. Anyway there was also a pic of him. He looked strong, but also had a blocky physique, and whilst nothing even in the ballpark of a 'big lenny' or palumbo himself, he did have a rather wide midsection and not the worlds biggest arms. So it got me thinking, there's a guy who used insulin (had to of course, but then used it over and above medical needs) and had a slight look reminiscent of this whole deal.
Does anyone know of other bodybuilders who were diabetics from childhood and whether they coincidentally had relatively thick midsections? Any other comments?

Hey guys I mostly lurk herer and only posted once or twice recently after actually signing up, so no doubt that puts me under suspicion of being some gimmick. So be it.
I've read various theories on 'what' palumboism actually is (cushing syndrome for example?) and so forth. I have insufficient medical knowledge (and for that matter am not in any danger of actually getting it) to know the ins and outs of that, though the symptoms do seem to line up somewhat (and for a few others). I'm also going to lump in the 'bubble gut' with palumboism, because (with no scientific evidence to back it up) I think it is likely the first stage of it, and at that stage likely able to be prevented from going to the full palumbo.
So rather than go there, I'm more interested in what (not as in what biochemical changes over time in the body, but rather what actions by the lifter) lead to it. So at best I'm going off of observation and wild speculation, but I'd appreciate some input.
Obviously guys in the 60s and 70s and somewhat beyond there didn't get it. Arguably they ran lower doses altogether and actually came off everything for breaks away from the competitions. According to people here, GH was being used back then so I tend to rule that one out, or at least in moderate (whatever that is) doses.
My hunch is it is a combination of the increased doses (but then again a lot of strength athletes surely run some massive amounts of gear and possibly gh too to help prevent injury and they don't tend to get it that I have seen) but then the addition of insulin. And at a guess, it would seem it takes a few years of insulin use (combined with all the rest) for it to manifest.
Reason I'm even asking this is that on another forum the topic of tim bellknap was mentioned, and that he was an insulin dependant diabetic (from childhood iirc) and that he was one of the people early on who figured out how to use insulin advantageously for bodybuilding. Anyway there was also a pic of him. He looked strong, but also had a blocky physique, and whilst nothing even in the ballpark of a 'big lenny' or palumbo himself, he did have a rather wide midsection and not the worlds biggest arms. So it got me thinking, there's a guy who used insulin (had to of course, but then used it over and above medical needs) and had a slight look reminiscent of this whole deal.
Does anyone know of other bodybuilders who were diabetics from childhood and whether they coincidentally had relatively thick midsections? Any other comments?
Lifting gold colored weights can prevent this.

It's that gross look from too much gH. It doesn't just grow your muscles, it grows everything, including your intestines, which start to press against your abs and can eventually break through them. :P

I'm sure our "Johnny on the Spot" mods will be all over this gimmick.....any year now.

well that went pretty well.

Hey guys , we should keep open the palumboism topic.... That condition is too terrible and everyone should keep aware of that . I am soo scared of palumboism and you should be afraid too.
-
Not that many standout cases lately, to be honest.
-
its quite possible that there is a forum on the internet where the female version of kwon, thinks palumboism is sexy and post picture after picture of it.

should we change the name of this phenomenon to "lennyism"?
