I've come very late to this whole 'Palumboism' thing so I'm not even sure of the proposed cause(s).  But I saw this picture of him recently and there's just something a bit "off" about the way his arm looks to me - is it just the angle, Photoshop, odema, synthol...?

Yes, in the earlier picture, he never really captured that truly conditioned look. He had the size and shape, but never really nailed his conditioning.

Should have been like dexter and relied on diet with less iu gh rather than abuse of gh year round and develop big big organs which i can gaurentee are big....He also hasn't gotten the competitors google pics and selfies with their shirts off with the likes of people who i will not name have gotten over the years to help himself back out....If you look around at some of them you will see where they got their surgery on their stomach in the pics...Dexter has longevity because he doesn't run GH as high for long periods of time...When victor had just come out of jail he ABUSED and ABUSED it with amounts you would never believe and this didn't help him one bit...There is a time where it becomes counter productive...This is why many say wolf will not be good anymore until he gets the surgery...Guys like Justin Compton that try to come up too fast have experienced this too...It's right in your face...The roelly winklaars of the world...NO car accident balonie

Take the guy out of the background. His skin tone is about the same as Vic's so it makes his arm look "odd".

It's a bad pic. Comparing Vic to Palumbo is ridiculous. At his best, Palumbo was not 1/10th of what Vic was in his prime. In the case of those of you bashing Vic, at your best you were never 1/100th of what Vic was. And that includes the couple of you who have posted here who have done a few shows.

Readiness condition   Exercise term   Description   Readiness             Color

DEFCON 1---COCKED PISTOL---Nuclear war is imminent---Maximum readiness---White

DEFCON 2---FAST PACE---Next step to nuclear war---Armed Forces ready to deploy and engage in less than 6 hours        Red

DEFCON 3   ROUND HOUSE---Increase in force readiness above that required for normal readiness---Air Force ready to mobilize in 15 minutes        Yellow

DEFCON 4   DOUBLE TAKE---Increased intelligence watch and strengthened security measures---Above normal readiness        Green

DEFCON 5   FADE OUT   Lowest state of readiness---Normal readiness        Blue


The stages of Palumboism are not unlike the Defcon system of the military. By that picture of Vic, I'd say Victor is DEFCON 4 and not far away from DEFCON3(stage 3 Palumboism). If you look at the color of Vic's skin in the photo we're talking about, it's taken on a greenish color but starting to look yellowish. Which is DEFCON 4 moving to DEFCON 3. DEFCON 3 Yellow, is liver failure...And need to get an car/heli/airplane ready to take him to the hospital pronto

There is no such procedure.

Maybe not widespread, but it looks like it's happened a few times at least..?  And once people get wind of something, money talks...

Slicing and Dicing
The removal of visceral fat is not a cosmetic procedure like liposuction to help you look better in a bathing suit. Instead, the new surgery – done laparoscopically – removes visceral fat ...

He describes the surgery this way:
First, four small holes – about one-third of an inch – are made in the abdomen. The abdomen cavity is then inflated, giving Dr. Mun room in which to maneuver an internal, miniaturized camera and cutting tools, which are inserted through those holes. He detaches the yellow, visceral fat from adjacent organs – the stomach and the colon – then cuts it into small strips, which can be pulled up through the holes.

Said to me directly once many years ago, goes on for 16 weeks or so to compete, then comes off for 8. He said he was in it for the long haul, too many guys abused themselves and fucked themselves up too quick. Clearly is not abusing himself stupidly like many others.
