Seems on the up-and-up :-X I wonder how " Cowboy George " did with his career?

Amazing Hebrew genetics on display!
Honestly, even though he took the shortcut, it seems to me that he had a pro-caliber physique there.

He looks like he's guest posing. Edgar Fletcher must have flipped the fuck out when he saw this lol
-
He never got a pro card. That's why he didn't compete. The IFBB never accepted his win at the Nigerian Championships as a pro qualifier
-
i remember i want to say around 93 and 94, weider was promoting him alot in the magazines.
but he would never compete the guy was huge no doubt.
-
That guy he's shaking hands with looks soooo gay...

I believe that was his backdoor to a Pro card back then.

He could still win a pro card at a weak North American's lineup looking like that. Plus, didn't John Meadows just win the overall at the Team Universe in the Masters division? What's the difference?

Always loved your Hebrew Insider Reports. It prompted me to sign up for the board and wait a month for my account to be approved.

Thanks, I always heard the story, but never saw pictures to go along with it. I have to admit, it's not as bad as the rumors had it out to be, and I actually think he looks decent, especially if we are grading on the current standard 20+ years later.
-
Where is he these days? I wonder if he became more humble.

He's 51 now. Some photos of him were posted here in 2004 at the age of 40, but not much since. He was still huge at that time.

It's possible. Was he considered arrogant before? I always felt that he looked very good.
Here are two newer photos of Victor (but not exactly new). While I do not know the dates of the two photos, I can tell you that the first photo features Victor in front of a display featuring the July 2006 issue of FLEX magazine, leading me to believe that it was current at the time, making Victor 42 there.

"Seriously? What exactly are we celebrating? Another instance of political correctness? The flag never shot, lynched or bombed churches. It is the people behind the flag. If we want to deal with racism, we should make racism a crime and a threat to national security. We should make it a felony and treason for any government official, politician and law enforcement personnel that uses the tax payers money to perpetuate Aryan nation and KKK agenda to terrorize in order to terrorize fellow Americans. We should send those racist, corrupt public servants to Guantanamo bay and put them in the same cell as the Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorists. Until we realize that terrorism against one American is terrorism against all Americans, racism will continue to be the cancer that embeds itself deep in the bones of American society."
"I don't know why people are outraged when they see incidents like this. The Ferguson incident, Mark Brown, Trayvon Martin, and police executing unarmed black men and youth. We have not made strides away from racism, it's just more covert. Can a house be separated from its foundation? In order to build a new house, you have to build a new foundation. You can't use an old system to run new software. The men who wrote the constitution did not believe that blacks were humans, rather just property. It is unrealistic and delusional to assume that black people can be protected under the same constitution that was written by men who saw them as less than animals and as property. If we really want to do away with racism, nullify the constitution that protects some, but not all.

"400 years of continuous genocide, rape, exploitation, and dehumanization. It's not a hate crime. It is massive act of terrorism and high crime against humanity. And those who are responsible are either in denial or do not want to take responsibility. A spade is a spade. I don't call it the way I see it; I call it the way it is. All this account cannot be disputed unless by those who are delusional or mentally deranged."
"Those that created the race card should not accuse others of playing their invention."
Thoughts on the Weiders (in regards to a news story on charity) -
"This is an act of a good-hearted, selfless man. I wonder how much Joseph and Ben Weider left for the athletes that lost their livers, kidneys; and the widows those athletes left behind, despite making billions from them. Our legacy and footprint is not how much of worldly things we gain, but living selflessly and leaving the world a better place."

He can actually write and express himself much much better than expected!

There was an interview a few yrs ago, and he put down Ronnie Coleman's genetics. He also apparently is a Mormon. The dude has an ego but has good info. It's like he subscribes to the "positive thinking-spiritual" mantra, but with his brand of egoism.
Here is a thread on him with the interviews.

Victor Richards is jealous of Ronnie Coleman. Ronnie worked is way from the bottom of the pro ranks; to the top. Victor was too afraid to try. He was full of excuses.

Yup. Fear of losing kept Victor away from competing.
" WHY VICTOR NEVER COMPETED
My own thought is that as big as he was Victor would have to diet and get cut up to do well in pro contests. And he just didn’t want to lose his mythical size or face the prospect of losing. I personally think dieted down his trouble spot would be his back, where his high lat insertions would have torpedoed his lat spread. I feel that the longer he stayed away from taking that first pro step the greater his apprehension grew. I think deep down he couldn’t face the prospect – shame to him – of losing. That’s why he never entered an NPC qualifier and instead took the path of entering the Nigerian Championships where he knew absolutely, totally, unquestionably, that he couldn’t lose. To be a winner you have to be prepared to lose, and Victor could never handle the risk of losing."

Of course it did , he has an ego a huge one at that exhibit A
Nevertheless Victor continued posing and afterward spoke of having overpowered Yates. Such was his conviction that he had overshadowed the Shadow he apologized to Yates for making him look bad. Victor was just about the only one who held that view and a bemused Yates just replied, “Oh, alright mate. Funny old world innit?”
Talk about delusion lol he would be left for dead trying to earn a pro card in the US in the early 90s it was a murders row of great competition. In the end he was just another big gym rat.

In fear of top American amateurs: Victor uses pro level drug stack, travels to Nigeria, beats a bunch of drug-free amateurs. Turns pro.
Delay. Delay. Delay.
Rationalizing his competitive fear: "I'm too good now. I will dominate everyone. I don't want to dominate the pro ranks. I will compete in 6 or 7 years when everyone has had time to catch up to me. I'm such a nice guy." (If he was too nice to dominate other competitors; why the fuck did he go to Nigeria in order to turn pro?)
Delay. Delay. Delay.
Never competes again.
20 years later; bodybuilding boards marvel at his cowardice.

I promised myself I wouldn't post anything that could be perceived as anti-Hebrew unless I could articulate myself well.
First off, the "Mark Brown" case (he is referring to Michael Brown) was one where the police officer (Officer Darren Wilson) was justified in shooting Michael Brown. Brown's friend Dorian (bodybuilding-related) Johnson claimed that Michael Brown had his hands up. That was proven absolutely untrue once the forensics reports came back. It was also found that Michael Brown had strong-armed a store clerk literally a foot shorter than him and half his body weight (Michael Brown was 6'4 and 293). What kind of a person does that? And he stole cigarillos at that store and was extremely high on marijuana. It really explains why Brown was so paranoid and is consistent with the notion of attacking the officer as Officer Wilson claimed.
Either way, that is a horrible case for Victor Richards to get behind as far as racial justice matters are concerned. Furthermore, do Hebrews have better lives in Hebrew-ran cities such as Detroit? Do they get better results anywhere in Africa when they were in charge? Did they not enslave themselves prior to Caucasians and every other race doing it?
I just wish the USA paid each Hebrew $1 million to head back to Africa. Then seal off the borders so no more non-white people can come here to be "oppressed". Be done with it once and for all. It would cost a couple of trillion dollars but it would be worth it.

He tried to pimp out his own supplement line in the late 90's - early 2000's.
Say what you want about his competition record or lack thereof, he had one-in-a-billion genes for bodybuilding. One of the few guys who could be truly massive and still able to walk up a few flights of stairs. No gut, great calves too..

So, that championship and his pro card was the same as Vince's and his Mr Canada win? Neither of these gentlemen will receiving blue stars.

He also said he had a genetic deficiency: he has two Y chromosome, and hence why he's a natty. ::)

YY males are very aggressive and tend to committ violent crimes, ending up in prison
Victor is a life long roid user.
YY + steroids = recipe for disaster

That would explain the long torso and high lats, classic Y shape there.

what did vic do for a living ? does anyone know
His parents, or one of parents was a doctor. So, go from there.
Seems like Vic was truly ahead of his time, he was a Nigerian scam artist before it became envogue to be one. He scammed the bodybuilding world with his trickery. Maneuvered his way in getting a Pro card, and also getting magazine covers and a Weider contract without competing. And still getting talked about to this day.
I do believe that he loved training, but not competing and that his ego couldn't take getting cut. Just as the article stated, he had high lats, and his back detail wasn't as developed. Based on his recent interviews, I think that he held his African genetics above those of Ronnie and other black Americans (his arrogance would shine through), so it would be a tough pill to swallow if he dieted down and was beaten by people that he deemed "inferior"...he already threw a temper tantrum when he was beaten as a amateur.

Exactly. It's also a dumb case to get behind as far as this Hebrew Civil Rights Redux stuff goes. There are far better examples. The best one I've seen so far would be the shooting death of Walter Scott by Officer Michael Slager in North Charleston, South Carolina. There was really next to no legal grounds justifying that shooting.
The death of Freddie Gray was a tragic case that started out with some potential to make dumb whites feel guilty but fell apart once it was discovered two of the officers involved were Hebrew including the one allegedly using the police van to murder Gray (Caesar R. Goodson Jr.). I also laughed when it was said Baltimore wasn't getting enough funding for education but sources circulated online showing some of the highest per-capita student spending in the USA.
I have no problem supporting Hebrew Rights (Wiggs and Vince Goodrum CSM MD for instance), but some of this stuff is simply getting out of hand. My tolerance has limits.
I am a long-time reader of your posts as well, Royalty. You post some great stuff on here.

yes this was @ the Pacific Beach worlds gym
Victor had relocated to SD to try to get close to Nasser to learn the "secret".
VIctor joined up @ Worlds gym where Nasser trained in the mid 90's and started following Nasser around during his workout and badgering Nasser with questions whilst Nasser was trying to work out.
AT the time Mike Matarazzo was also @ worlds.
Nasser, as he like to call Victor, "crocodile head", basically told Victor to fuck off as Nasser was focussing on training for the Olympia.

I recall reading that Victor ate 30,000 calories per day, but it turned out that happened only on rare days, due to Nigerian foods being rich in calories. But it was not a daily amount. I also read that Victor's maximum off-season weight was 370. Was there any truth to that? I can't see him being over 330, given that he was around 5'10. And that would be a pretty soft 330. Greg Kovacs was 416 at his heaviest, but Greg was 6'2.

The secret...hahaha. Vic was trained by the Barbarian Brothers. He possibly knew more about training than Nasser did. It was the dieting that he couldn't do.

I think that Victor was probably asking Nasser drug questions. Nasser went from 7th place at the 1994 Olympia to 3rd place at the 1995 Olympia. Nasser put on about 15lb of pure muscle that off-season; and was being called-out with Yates and Levrone. I think that Nasser did something that was new to Victor; and Victor was trying to find out what he did.

The secret is to diet down and compete, and then see where you stand.

Richards probably just didn't want to do what it took to compete..he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and didn't need money due to his parents being well off and one of them being a doctior..probably where he got his drugs from as well......
when you think about it though, was he smart to do that?......one of the things I think that takes years off of a bodybuilder's life in addition to the drugs is the constant up and down nature of dieting where you are gaining and losing large sums of weight in a short time span....must put a hell of a lot of stress on the heart, cardiovascular system, and other organs........Doctors do say that you are prone to heart attack if you drop weight too fast...and we know that putting on weight fast sends blood pressure through the roof and puts stress on kidneys and liver.....
not to mention the constant overeating.....I really don't think its healthy to constantly have your body in a digestive mode.......sort of like running a car engine without ever turning it off.....this has got to be stressful to the body as well.....
Maybe it was better for him to live the bodybuilding lifestyle in the way HE chose to instead of the way the Weiders wanted ;)

All bullshits, just like his measurements... He was 5'8-5'9 max, narrow with high lats, never ever close to 330lbs, maybe around 300lbs at his absolute heaviest with tons of water and fat, like at the 1994 FIBO... Was always in "off-season" shape, he wanted to keep his myth of being bigger than everyone, looked huge alone in pics, but compared to top pros he wasn't that impressive anymore... Dieted down he would lose a lot of mass, he was maybe around 250lbs contest ready, nothing more, that's why he never competed...

-
He said teh 30,000 cals was pounds of rice and chicken
No one can eat 30,000 cals of rice.
Even when you blend it, you can hardly reach 8-9k
-
cause he was so huge
imagine how pissed his wife would have been always having to wipe his ass for him
-
guys i remember reading an interview with him, either in flex or muscle and fitness cira 93 or 94
he said he would not compete untill the year 2000 when a majority of the competeitors were all over 300 lbs and ripped he basically was saying he was to big
for the competitors then, thats how arrogant and delusional he was
He reportedly smashed his trophy and whined like a baby when a much-smaller-but-more-ripped a Rich Gaspari beat him in a state-level show.

VIctor is basically a douche bag with a high pitched effeminate lispy voice
to think he had the audacity to photoshop his head onto Ronnie Colemans body for his website pics ::)

100 cups of cooked rice is 20,000 calories. 100 cups. Like a wheelbarrow full of rice.

Craig Golias of peace.

yes this was @ the Pacific Beach worlds gym
Victor had relocated to SD to try to get close to Nasser to learn the "secret".
VIctor joined up @ Worlds gym where Nasser trained in the mid 90's and started following Nasser around during his workout and badgering Nasser with questions whilst Nasser was trying to work out.
AT the time Mike Matarazzo was also @ worlds.
Nasser, as he like to call Victor, "crocodile head", basically told Victor to fuck off as Nasser was focussing on training for the Olympia.
Vic soon after left SD
Nasser called Vic Richards "Crocodile Head". So childish. So ridiculous. Yet so brilliant.
Reading some of these old threads... This was back when bodybuilding add some entertainment value.

The presenter looks as though he stole Joan Collins' wardrobe from Dynasty.
Also heard if you won at the Nigerian Championships you got 2 gallons of clean water and a live chicken?
STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Exceptional genetics, but didn't want or like to diet.
-
All eight pounds (pre-cooked weight) of rice daily.
-
He never got a pro card. That's why he didn't compete. The IFBB never accepted his win at the Nigerian Championships as a pro qualifier
I remember reading that the IFBB pushed Vic through to the pro ranks via his national qualifier. Vic was training for the Night of Champions and quit with 6 weeks left? The legs were huge but the upper body started dissapearing as he got closer to the show. Vic as another Paul Dillet / Gary Strydom. The back dissapeared as he started cutting up.

Which means he didn't have a lot of actual muscle on his back. His back probably looked big during the offseason due to bodyfat and fluid retention

He said he loved rice. Could it be because that rice was carbs and kept him full, so when he had to cut, bye-bye fullness?

If you've seen the video from the front from that FIBO Dorian smokes him, ok maybe similar size but Dorian is 10 times harder and a bit bigger. Dieting is a bitch you lose a lot of size (in a shirt anyway, look bigger underneath).

Here a guy breaks it down, with still shots of Dorian v. Victor.
Also as an aside, in one vid, Vic says that bodybuilders should not be cutting each other down, but lifting each other up. Yet, he has put Ronnie Coleman down.
-
To say someone is an uncrowned Mr. O. if you have never stepped on a pro stage, let alone an Olympia stage is absurd. Victor Martinez is an uncrowned Mr. O. not Victor Richards.
-
Amazing Hebrew genetics on display!
Honestly, even though he took the shortcut, it seems to me that he had a pro-caliber physique there.
He's not in contest shape. Not even close. Never was.
-
I remember when he "confronted" Dorian at that FIBO guest posing thing. Kept hitting most musculars and his arms kept getting tangled with Doz. It was pretty cringy looking back at it.
-
He does look like a crocodile. Anyway ...
I met the guy when he guest posed and did a seminar in Toronto in the very late ‘80s. Huge.
