This guy impressed me as a kid. Was always featured in bob Hoffmanns md. Anyone got the scoop on this guy? Was he blacklisted from the ifbb? He coulda done some damage. I'm on phone n don't know how to imbed pix with it.

Vic was a monster for a short guy.

check out joe meeko's threads he talks how joe weider was trying to make himself and jeff king go thru many hoops to jump from aau, nabba to the ifbb. hr more or less wanted them to start from scratch to compete on an ifbb stage.
-
Yeah. Wen I posted the other guy that came to mind was joe meeko but there's a lil more history about him. Crazy mofo then became born again.
Wasn't Joe from PA? Lehigh area?
-
Joe 'never waste a barrel' Meeko, I read he always filed his syringes full, if he had a 5ml barrel he filed it, 2ml barrel filled it.
I dont suppose he took much notice of weekly dosages.

VIC TERRA WON MANY NABBA TITLES,AAU,FREAK GREAT SHAPE/OVERALL LOOK,AND LIKE MOST OF THOSE GUYS GREAT LEGS AAU AND OF COURSE GRUSKIN TYPE ;)...TO ME HE WAS A BIGGER LABRARA AND COULD HAVE BEEN GOOD IFBB BUT WHO KNOWS..

Victor Terra had a great Labrada-like physique. A shame he never got the recognition he deserved.

old hokie catty area like 15 miles from where i live. actually saw him train when he was going for mr eastern america on the way to mr america aau. always seemed like a nice guy. there were a lot of crazies in the area back than. meeko had amazing metabolism. he looked smooth and in one week he could be cut to the bone. call it what you will... drugs direutics but one week..... i still have a pair of the power grips i bought off him oh so many years ago.... he trained at a lot of places , fitness america thats where i bumped into him. the body factory, olympic fitness center, gold's gym.... lehigh vallety was a hotbed for strength and "health"???? back then

;D he was actually married to lori millen cousin of matt millen of nfl football fame. his wife actually competed to... the drugs affected her adversely along with a mental illness and she attacked joe on numerous occasions. the last time with a frying pan, you can see the results. in pic 4 below.
-
he later contracted Lyme disease and had a lot of problems after that. some guys who knew him better than me said he was real;ly suffering he went to a picnic and played volleyball they said he just did a little jump and his leg literally fell apart. soon after he committed suicide. he actually was going to come up one day and train with the gold but it snowed that day and he never made it off his mountain where he lived.

ALL the horrors you hear about past bbers breakdowns/mental illness or ongoing physical illness are all the same ,small guy goes local to national level quickly ,gets bigger and bigger ,becomes pro and notoriety ,known on a physical sense as a 'god',impossible to go backwards and normal physically and mentally without some issues..

Wasn't Victor nailed for importing steroids from England? Served time ?

I remember that..90's or early 2000's?

Don't remember him being busted. On that not. Wut was the name of the gym I'm guessing around 81-83 that got busted for drugs in Connecticut. Was it called Zak's? Was an up n coming member their who was profiled in m n f as the next big thing. Also didn't diamond gym n johnny morrant get busted back in the day?

I have said many times that had Jeff King been allowed to compete in the IFBB, I don't believe Haney would have 8 Sandows.
Serious philosophical ponderings of the all important subject of men in thongs.
Like Soren Kierkegaard, only different.
-
weider picked and chose which nabba guys he allowed into the ifbb. brian Buchanan, bertil, kawak, and several others got to jump over. jeff king, mike Quinn, and several others were told their titles were not recognized, so they had to qualify. Quinn is the only one I can think of, who as a two time mr. universe, went to the mr. usa and won the overall to qualify.
maybe it was just the American guys he made jump thru hoops, and the Europeans were allowed to jump ship???
