wtf was he living in australia
what happened
Died of a heart attack due to morbid obsesity. Much like Derek Anthony, me and many others like Adonis tried to get him to seek medical help but he didn't. Keith gambled away his disability checks in Vegas, ate at the buffets all the time, and lived with 4 other guys to pay the bills. What really sucks is that he was banned prior to passing away when he ridiculed Joe Weider as a walking corpse ironically.
But at least he was a worthy opponent second to Squadfather. Now we have a bunch of fags like NaturalWonder and Qwert running around.
now we have a bunch of fags like you spamming our boards with false info and product spamming

Keith lived with Stuntmovie so he knows what happened to Keith.Remember that story well ;D Onlyme was one of the reasons I got hooked on Getbig. RIP.
Have a read of the funniest story ever posted on Getbig.

nothing personal against anyone, but I dont understand why we remember someone who died many years ago. They are dead. End of story. But I have different perspectives than people on a lot of stuff
what happenedmevin spit on him, causing a massive infection.

Because a lot of us enjoyed his input for many years and still raise a smile at some of his posts.
Keith was a great guy and lived a very interesting life and was actually a big powerful dude in real life who walked the walk and did something with his too short life.
He also met and worked with a lot of the greats of strength athletics and the world of movies. All in all he was a more interesting character than 99% of the wee wankers like you who have joined getbig in the past few years.
I'm not surprised a wee nobody like you lacks the empathy to see that.

you realize I dont have the ability to feel empathy? Its been noted on here 188 times, hence why I said nothing personal, its just a case of me not understanding. Also, Ive been on getbig since 2005, thats no secret to anyone on here
Ok, sorry for my outburst. I actually met Keith back in the 80's at Golds in Hampton drive , Venice when I was on secondment to the US Navy. He didn't know who I was on Getbig at first but via PM's he finally remembered the shaven headed Scottish RAF man who had sometimes done a chest workout with him back in the day.
I consider myself a strong presser but Keith was a genuine freak and made me feel weak.
Fast forward 20 years and I'm talking to him again on here. But I use an assumed name so he doesn't know that I know him. I did a psychological assessment of him which he related to ( the fact that he was adopted and his parents paid his older brother special attention) and I followed up by PM and I was stoked that he remembered me.
I was absolutely stunned when he died. He had sent me a PM like a day before he died saying he felt "funny" for the past few days. I just wish he could have lost the weight and got himself back into shape because believe me he was a very decent human.
Sorry again Potatank but I have a great deal of affection and respect for Keith (no Homo ;))
pfffft no need to apologize. Im sure he was a great guy, Im just missing a few bolts and screws for some emotions :D
Well in that case I envy you because life would be a lot easier without these bolts and screws.
I sometimes envy the simple animals and birds who live their life enjoying the heat of the sun before dropping dead.
We humans are cursed with empathy.

I talked to Keith on the phone just a week before he died. People here were advising Keith about how to lose weight. Some even suggested taking some dangerous drugs. He did try several times but every time he was committed he ended up sick or in the hospital so he never persisted because of severe health problems. He posted that one of his legs measured 31 inches around the calves. That is fluid retention. I honestly don't think the doctors knew how to treat him. When he gained even more weight he ended up getting skin infections that impacted on him in a serious way. Cellulitis can be serious and did damage his health. Many have speculated on Keith's demise but only Stuntmovie and his family know what really happened. I worried that Keith might have been desperate to lose weight so might have tried some of those dangerous things. However, that is just speculation and I don't know the particulars of what happened to Keith.
There is a long thread about Keith on the History board: http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=362253.0
Vince it was sad seeing his decline. He posted pictures of himself at an event which might have been an Olympia around the mid 2000's with Pete Grymlokowski (not sure) and he looked terrible at 500lbs or so.
I'm thinking he was only early 50's when he died which is way too early.
He did try several times but every time he was committed he ended up sick or in the hospital so he never persisted because of severe health problems.
When he died, I remember asking stunt if he felt that was entirely true and he agreed that it was not. Stunt is a real person who knew him, as opposed to you - who had an internet association with him late on and still saw fit to call his daughter when he died ::))
Keith could have lost the weight. It wasn't the case that if Keith exercised, he immediately got problems with his leg. He might have had setbacks, sure - but it is totally inaccurate to suggest he couldn't have recovered. I knew that people like you would spout that urban myth, later down the track when enough people had forgotten so I made sure I got the truth to remind you of it.
I don't even remember Keith himself claiming that it was impossible for him to exercise either.
The truth is that Keith was fat when he was somebody and exercising.
He was like many people on this board, probably a decent person in real life, but he was a nasty fucker at times on this board. A fact you studiously chose to ignore, despite your constant flux with others whom you troll.
I rarely give you shit Vince, but you creep me the fuck out when it comes to onlyme. He only got a pass from you because he was nasty to Goodrum, which fit your agenda.
Not to derail the thread of course, but Basile lays it on a bit thick when it comes to Keith.

Keith was relentless on me and was planning to crash all of my websites prior to his death. However....I believe I crushed him finally with this thread where I outed all of his scams and ripping off people. Afterwards, he hardly messed with me again.
http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=322932.0
You two were quite nasty to each other. Well beyond civil much of the time. Of course, I could always count on Keith to call you out if you exaggerated, etc.
When I saw him at the 2007 Mr. Olympia expo with Gareth, onlyme appeared to be over 600-lb. He was working at the Muscle Mafia booth with Pete Grymkowski.
Funny dude...

You pride yourself on precision but are full of crap here. I told Keith a few times he was over the top re bagging Goodrum racially. I wanted no part of that. At one time Keith wouldn't answer my calls because he was upset I didn't support him on Getbig. We also talked about losing weight. I happened to know a bit about obesity and how hard it is for fat people to lose weight. He did try several times but like I said he got derailed by health issues like his calf swelling up and other worries. Those of us who haven't experienced obesity and the health problems associated with it have little idea what they go through. He even told me he didn't eat that much. So it appears that what he did eat ended up making him fatter. The mechanism to control weight in severely fat people is askew and when they try to lose weight the body assumes it is starving so they don't have much energy. When they eat normally again the body stores more energy as fat in case it is starved again. So dieting can lead to more fat being stored over time. Go read Dimensions Magazine online to find out what the fat people are saying.
If you examine the photos below you will see his leg is swollen with fluid retention or edema. Obesity plus edema is a deadly combination. Various infections can attack the legs and cause swelling, redness and soreness. That condition often persists and sufferers retain the red, swollen body part afterwards. Imagine trying to exercise with a 31 inch calf. Heck you would hardly be able to walk. Cellulitis is a horrible disease and is painful and hard to cure.
Most guys who attend gyms or do bodybuilding figure it is easy to control body composition. Yes, for them it is because it is difficult for them to gain weight and size. When they stop gorging themselves the body tends to get rid of the extra weight and lo and behold they look like they never trained before.
I had no agenda re Goodrum. I just called him out for his bullshit. At one stage I invited him to come to Australia so I could train him and show the lads on Getbig. That never happened. When we discovered he was gay that pretty much put an end to any help I could give him. I called him in Vegas and offered to send him some money because he said he was using coupons to get meals, etc. He said he didn't need any help and was with someone. That was Vissy, I guess.
I always try to help the underdog and have done that since I was a kid. Goodrum is his own worst enemy and all his threads end up with his getting bagged whether I post in them or not.
what character
Come on Vince, you spoke with Travis on the phone. Keith was a scam artist who took a lot of peoples money from Travis to Thomas......he even got Dave Palumbo, getting him to fly down to Hawaii to promote his gym and cancelling the check he gave him while he was on the flight back to New York. Also got Shawn Ray with the same scam. In addition, he took hundreds of thousand of dollars for a gym in Vegas that was never going to open or even built at the 2007 Olympia (part of the shelved files but I hinted to it back in 2010 with that thread on the fax machine) If Keith was alive today, he would be doing time in prison for about 15 years.
.
He was training for a shot at the Olympics,

He was the ONLY TRULY worthy opponent on Getbig that I had. We went back and forth hard for 5 years straight every single day. I didn't walk away unscathed neither I'll have to admit. I'm more than sure that he's the reason I now take meds for high blood pressure....but he was a fucking scumbag and con-man hands down for whatever reason.
That's exactly where he solicted money for that gym scam.

Melvin Goodrum has high blood pressure and figures maybe the feud with Only me caused it? I rather doubt it. Keith wasn't the only one to bag Vince G CSN MFT. Lots of guys got on the tar and feather bandwagon. Goodrum has been taking a thrashing here on Getbig for a decade at least. He figures he is an internet legend but only in reverse if you know what I mean.
Being overweight, not exercising enough, living on one's own, struggling to pay bills, dealing with a relationship ending, etc., etc., can all impact on one's health.
Keith would be smiling if he could read that confession!
Why do you respond to him like a movie voiceover, narrating events to the whole board? You're such a smug blowhard, old man.
The lies they'll tell at your funeral, man. Both of them, neither wanting to be rude. But they'll share a knowing 'Not really' look and mutherfuck you later at the pub.
I don't want a funeral. Way too hypocritical for me. Might donate my body to a university for a laugh. At least no one will say, "Hey, he was 'The Ugly' on Getbig!"
Wouldn't it be something if Lee Priest's kid showed up? Not sure if that's irony, or perfect irony, but it'd certainly be a hoot.
Not the kid showing up so much, but you being in a box and all. There's your hoot.

He could be your best friend as well as your worse enemy.
I love getting flamed. It gets me hot. Anyway, I am in the gym training 4 to 5 days a week. I am starting to do some cardio. I have a virus right now in fact gotta go to doctor to get some drugs. Weight is slowly coming off. I have something to do ion June so I am trying to lose as much as possible by then. I have something else to do in July. As long as I stay healthy I am in the gym. My strength is coming back really good. I feel it is at least a little better being fat and strong than being fat and weak. This way I can weight train a couple days a week and do only cardio on the other days. Dieting is so-so. Cut back on a lot of crap but can't go cold turkey. I am really hoping to be be back about 80% by the Olympia this year so I can go and not worry about the photos of me. We will see.
He was not , he never competed in a sanctioned event .
Ok, I admit I am fuzzy on that part, I do remember him posting paper work that he was sort of in that amateur/working his way up stage.
He never competed , not even once . its like SF1900 going to work out at the gym and saying he is getting ready for the 2018 Mr Olympia.

The Brown recluse spider doesn't exist in California...It's found East of the Mississippi.
Brown Recluse spiders have been found almost anywhere in the world. They get into packing materials and are shipped anywhere. Keith always had his hands in something so it could be that the spider was shipped to him...Maybe Voodoo Vince G went back in time and shipped Onlyme a brown recluse along with the magic stick... :D
The ugly truth is, unless someone is a real life friend or family, they don't give a crap about you on a forum.
I don't take that personal , because it's the basic nature of internet BB forums.
That's the basic nature of life, and even then some family members wont give a fuck about you.
As for some getbiggers lacking empathy, let me add my 2 cents:
I rarely post any more and replied here out of memory for big Keith.
I've had some fun posting on BB forums, but too much of it would lead to frustration and being annoyed.

Lost here. What does your two cents on empathy have to do with Keith?
Howards two dimes have everything to do with Keith, as well as all of us.

Is this the same thing that happened with that moosegay character? That had the rotting forearm?
I'm still looking for an explanation as to why Onlyme got to 606-lb.
Is this the same thing that happened with that moosegay character? That had the rotting forearm?
Watched Over the Top recently and looked for Keith. Didn't see him anywhere, or in the credits. Has anyone actually seen him in the movie?
Saw pictures of Keith on-set of Over the Top but he got replaced as main opponent.
He is still credited as "Arm Wrestler" on IMDB.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0428531/
He isn't in it I don't think, he was supposed to play the lead arm wrestler, the one Stallone goes against in the final match, but apparently Stallone got jealous that his wife at the time Bridgette Nielson liked Keith so Stallone had him axed.I'm fairly sure that's what he said anyway.
Doesn't sound like he did much to win favor with Stallone, from Keiths own mouth
"Short story about me and Bruce and the film. They actually shot the final scene (competition) during the actual IAC World Championships. As the picture below shows. We me and Bruce had to go up againzt each other. So now all the cameras came over to our table to film us. As we lock up I feel someting on my shoulders and its Stallone hanging on my right shoulder lokking over to see our match. The cameras were on Bruce and my camera right. Well I got a little pissed and let go of the grip and turned around and looked at Sly and said excuse me. He said sorry and back away. We lock up again and they say go and about 2 seconds into the match I feel Sly touched my shoulder durng an actual match. I eneded up beating Bruce on about 20 second or so can't remember. But, I turned around and looked down at Sly and said f**k you and pushed him down. He fell on his ass and about 10 guys come running up on stage to pick him up. I leave the stage to sit with my friends and they all high fived me. Nothing happened and he left the stage.
The production made the competition last 19 hours. They wouldn't people leave the audience who worked as extras. They actually locked the doors. they fed everyone and most people got pics. I remember sitting with two girls and they were talking to me and taking pics and one of them asked me where Sly was. He came walking in with 10 or so bodyguards and I pointed at him and said there he is. They both look at him and at the same time said "Man is he skinny". He weighed about 175 for the movie. They put sandbags on the scale to increase his weight to 190 or so."
Some incredible people out there. Can eat only 200 calories and can store 400. The top companies are studying these people, in the hope that they can solve the world's energy problems.
