Title: Blast from the past
Post by: Coach is Back! on October 08, 2014, 08:00:42 PM
I was there when this picture was taken as with the other famous Golds picture similar to this one. I am about 90% sure the kid standing on the inside looking out between Bill Grant and Kent Keune (sp) is me. I was 15 then..

Coach keeps it very real. He's a top tier poster here.

Why's it a shame? He was younger then. He didn't know the "sport" yet.

He's moved onto an actual SPORT. As in, functional training, which I do as well. I don't agree with the bodybuilding lifestyle at all or using more than 250 mg of hormones weekly even

I don't think you quite understand. 1. It's not a sport. I've never referred to it as a "sport". 2. Those guys you see in that picture are real bodybuilders. They trained and trained hard. Usually twice a day. Most who you see now would get buried in a training session from back then. There was no training "one body part per week" bullshit back then.

Functional training is considered a sport too eh?

I find it odd that the OP cannot definitively recognize a picture of his 15 year-old self.

yep, especially given that the photo has been around for years

Only 90% sure???  I would think that being in part of such a photo would either be a YES or a NO.   How could you not be 100% sure of being in such a photo with such a large group of bodybuilders?

I would guess that there was hundreds of pics taken that day.   coach has stated for years that he was there that day.  so he is probably just throwing in a disclaimer in case it turns out it was not him in that particular pic.

either way, he is a lucky bastard to have been able to train there during that era.

I was about 15 as well. Remember seeing that shot in the magazines. Didn't get to Gold's until about 10 years later.

I was there and up until I saw this last night I thought the only picture that existed was the first one. I also knew I was I the picture. That was around 37 years ago. The black kid in the middle was a teen bodybuilder named Lorenzo Belzer. He was like a mini version of Robby.

I think there is another photo that must have been taken on the same day because I'm pretty sure Peter and David Paul were in one of those photos and Ray Menzter too.    Mike Mentzer looks crazy in that picture
