From the mid 1980's through the early 2000's many famous athletes would train at Golds Venice or perhaps simply stop by to check out The Mecca of Bodybuilding. In 1996 we had a memorable day at Golds Venice-
-Ed Connors walked in the gym with a older gentlemen, early 60's, big man, clearly an athlete. Ed calls me over and says, "Hi Tom, this is Jerry Krammer, he's here to see Gold's Gym Venice." "oh my god, it's Jerry Krammer." I thought.
I walked over and gave him a hand shake and said, "Oh my god, you sir are a super hero and it is a honour to meet you." He smiled a big smile and just said "thank you." I asked, "Mr Krammer what was the play call when you threw that block?" He smiled again, paused and said "34 Red Right." I smiled and said, "and the snap count?" He smiled a huge smile and said, " oh I remember, On three, with vigor."
I just stood there smiling. True story.

Guy was a damn animal.

His book was the first real book I ever owned. I can't remember the title. I think I have seen every single super bowl. The Green Bay Packers from back in those days will always be legendary. Back then in the off season the players had to have a real job like selling cars to make ends meet.

Kind of like CFL players have to do here. In 2015!

Gay Thread reported.

Did he elaborate as to why he held his hands up as he fell in the end zone too?

I am something of a pro football ignoramus, but I recall walking into Gold's in the late 80s and within the first week seeing OJ Simpson on the lying hamstring machine in the main room right in front of the water fountain. I distinctly recall thinking, Goddamn that's OJ. Then, Goddamn OJ has a large noggin.
Other highlights from week one, Hulk Hogan worked in on the dip bar, Keanu Reeves wandering around looking like a homeless beach bum, Carl Weathers being Apollo Creed and falling in love with the mirror by the big roll down gate area at the back of that front room.

I saw Harvey from So Solid Crew in Maximums gym in Slough near London this week.

No idea who that is nor do I care.

Ah yes, our counterfeit confederate has chosen to voice his pompous, narcissistic opinion. Delightful.
Apologies for not having any tales of Sir Walter Raleigh or George Washington Carver visiting Gold's Venice.
Perhaps when you finish planting your spring crop of Carolina sweet peas, you could regale us with adventures of pissing in the same pot as Andrew Jackson or perhaps wiping your ass with leaves off a tobacco plant that was transported to America on the Mayflower.

Oh wishbone, I just don`t see the need to fawn over another male human being. Female perhaps, but male, come on. What sort of faggotry is this?

:) Alright my friend. We'll smoke the peace pipe. I present this girl...

Tommy wishbone is one of the best posters ever on Getbig. True Adonis is liberal pussy that played with dolls growing up and was the kid that never played tackle football but opted for badminton and arts/crafts
