I suspect the photos of Bob Paris are a little out of date. For one thing, he has gray hair now according to photos posted in 2013 on his Facebook page. He is 54 and he still looks good. There is much positive to be said for bodybuilders leaning out as they age.

Can some dickweeds stop saying "just the finishing touch" every time they see a guy who is smaller than he used to be.

This comment would only be relevant if they still trained and ate the same way.  Anyone of us who competed and then moved on in life knows that only one in a hundred of us does that, the rest slow down and other priorities take over.

Being really big should be a stage in life and at some point you need to back off a bit.

I agree. Some of us take longer to realize this than others. I've fought an internal battle with this for years. I'd decide lean out when I would take steps to lose weight and hopefully regain what my natural bodyweight would be. At some point, often about where I am now at 185 lbs. where I'd check myself out in the mirror and freak out, seeing myself as the skinny kid I once was and so desperately wanted to change, which is why I started working out in the first place. So, I would start lifting in earnest and eating more to regain the size I'd just lost. It was a unhealthy cycle in which I seemed hopelessly caught.

As I said, at the bottom of the cycle, I've usually gotten down to what I currently weigh. Right now, I am happy with how I feel and look at 185 lbs. I don't care that I don't look like a bodybuilder. Hopefully, I just look like a old guy who is reasonably fit. I feel great. I suspect my cholesterol has gone down some. I bought new clothes that aren't swimming on me and for once, gave away the old clothes. Along with this new way of thinking, I have no plans to workout as intensely as I have in the past. I'll still hit the gym on a regular basis, but I am now going to concentrate on just being fit and not building muscle. If I can retain most of what I've gained in muscle over the last 50 years, I'll be doing great and I will be happy with myself.

This. It's just not a priority any more. I'd much rather be lean and look healthy than be 'big'. As I said before,  if 'big' was a priority,  I'd pick the needle up like 100% of the 'big' guys here and keep at it. Funny to think and remember how important it used to be. Having abs = still very important. Having shape = very important. Being rich and happy, THE most important.

Someone gave me copies of the 84 and 85 Olympia back in 87 and he was the only one that I saw and thought, If I could get anywhere near that physique I would be happy.

This photo always makes me stop for a minute. (full on homo)

The only Olympia where the competitors were weighed was 88 and Paris was one of the bigger guys competing at 229 lbs

Without the massive bloat, gigantic gut and excess organ growth, most of the modern guys wouldn't weigh much more, truthfully.

Of course without that drug use no one would have heard of him or want to buy the book he wrote.

The candor in his retirement of a truly great bodybuilder like Dorian Yates is refreshing when compared to someone like this.

You can end up doing lots of things you don't like. I don't like doing dishes or waking up early, but the end result is what people are after. And for Bob, after years of enduring the drug use and homophobic IFBB officials he realized that it really wasn't worth it to him anymore. I applaud him for saying "fuck it" and truly getting out of the game.

I can begin to imagine all the different sorts of struggles he had to endure. Look at his fucking perfect physique and then look at the fact that he really left bodybuilding for good. Put it all behind him entirely. He looked absolutely stunning. Very few physiques surpassed his, and he left it all behind. So many bodybuilders blow out a kidney and still can't stop injecting because they feel small. Look at Kris Dim for example - paralyzed, heart attacks, aortic valve explosion or some sort of catastrophic cardiac event... dude flexes his arms like there's no tomorrow despite having 12" upper thighs whenever a camera is around. Total mind fuck.

At least Bob's toil and torment was only mental. He's the type who looks at adversity like that and allows it to build character, then moves on. He's healthy, shifted to another art form to express himself and enjoy life and put bodybuilding behind him. When I came off all the juice I read his book another couple of times and it helped me to deal with being skinny fat. I wish he'd write some more. The book can be read in an evening or two and I think he knew a lot of stupid bodybuilders would be reading it.

Bob Paris:  6 ft
Berry de Mey: just over 6 ft

Most builders simply are too short, and gutted, and too much fake tan, and out of proportion etc etc

One cannot control how tall they are. What they can control is how proportionate and symmetrical their muscular development is within the limits of their body type, be it endomorph, ectomorph, mesomorph or some combination therein. Obviously how tanned they wish to appear is up to them. Unfortunately, the darker one is the better their definition appears, which gives darker skinned folks the advantage under lights.

I agree. Some of us take longer to realize this than others. I've fought an internal battle with this for years. I'd decide lean out when I would take steps to lose weight and hopefully regain what my natural bodyweight would be. At some point, often about where I am now at 185 lbs. where I'd check myself out in the mirror and freak out, seeing myself as the skinny kid I once was and so desperately wanted to change, which is why I started working out in the first place. So, I would start lifting in earnest and eating more to regain the size I'd just lost. It was a unhealthy cycle in which I seemed hopelessly caught.

As I said, at the bottom of the cycle, I've usually gotten down to what I currently weigh. Right now, I am happy with how I feel and look at 185 lbs. I don't care that I don't look like a bodybuilder. Hopefully, I just look like a old guy who is reasonably fit. I feel great. I suspect my cholesterol has gone down some. I bought new clothes that aren't swimming on me and for once, gave away the old clothes. Along with this new way of thinking, I have no plans to workout as intensely as I have in the past. I'll still hit the gym on a regular basis, but I am now going to concentrate on just being fit and not building muscle. If I can retain most of what I've gained in muscle over the last 50 years, I'll be doing great and I will be happy with myself.

One year he lost to Belknap and competed as a light heavyweight. The year he lost to Paris was his best 83 Nationals. Still should have been a pro. He was supposed to compete at the 85 Nationals in Miami but never did really wanted to see him on stage in condition.

Saw Rory train 60-70 times starting way back in 1983' yes 1983.  Last time I watched him train was Golds Venice 1996. He was extremely strong. Smith Machine inclines with 405.  Very smooth controlled movements. Close grip bench presses with 365 for smooth clean reps. Lat pull downs with the stack- again, always smooth clean reps.
