Beyond Built was an awesome book. It is out on ibooks yet?

I have Gorilla suit for over 7 or 8 years and haven't read it ....
I will i promise .
WooOSSHHHHHHHHHHH

Bob is an intelligent, introspective, and courageous man. And one of the best physiques ever.
Unfortunately, it was his coming out I think that put a roadblock in his career and the level of success he could have achieved. Probably the reason he never reached his ultimate potential, and that's a shame. But it was far more important for him to live his life truthfully and I applaud him for that.

Gorilla Suit, great read... (If you want it to be, of peace)...

You drink too much Starkerade with White knighting on the rocks, Donna

Bob kind of thought his coming out killed his placings but the fact is he was in terrible shape in his 1990 and 1991 shows until Chris Aceto got him back on track and qualified for the Olympia again.

I remember buying that IronMan mag off the store shelf in 1989. Just before me and a friend went in to see a movie. So we're sitting there waiting for the film to begin and I'm skimming through the issue. I start reading the Paris article intro and am like, Holy crap! Bob's gay!
;D
Was a bit of a shock to a reasonably naive 19 year old, but after that initial shock, I didn't much care, and I certainly do not now.
Fact is, Bob, as another says, is an intelligent, thoughtful and measured man who achieved one of bodybuilding's greatest-ever physiques. And he didn't let the industry or drugs ruin him, either. Nor did he stick around and become embarrassing by pushing fart powder and other nonsense.
There's no question the powers-that-be pushed him out as a competitor, bit by bit.
It's cool to hear he's now living here in Canada and enjoying what I hope is a great marriage.
I wish Mr. Paris all the best.
P.S. Bob kennedy told me that, in his prime, in a tank top, in the gym, NO ONE looked bigger (despite him being considered a shape guy, Bob said he was reasonably tall, very handsome and had impressive musculature) or better than Bob Paris. Said he was strong, too. He had seen him squatting 500 pounds for multiple sets.

intriguing and look up the definition

before you try to be clever look up the meaning and spelling. English is not your first language so i will not put you down...but if you use the English Language then understand your text before you post.

Bob Paris is one of those guys that you don't care that he is gay.
He had a great physique (one of the best) and is well-spoken and intelligent.
A good human being.

Bob Paris was in some ways ahead of his times.

Looks like a jacked Steve Reeves there.

IMO, the year Paris won the Nationals had the best line up of all time:
NPC National Bodybuilding Championships Overall Winner Bob Paris HeavyWeight 1 Bob Paris 2 Rory Leidelmeyer 3 Mike Christian 4 Jeffrey Williams 5 Matt Mendenhall 6 Rich Gaspari 7 Steven Adell 8 Neal Spruce 9 Jon Jordan 10 Jeff Smullen 11 Gregory Comeaux 12 Ron Love 13 Cal Lueneburg 14 Jeff Everson
-
I actually think it's the other way around. Paris gets a lot more attention because he is militantly homosexual and his narrative fits in with the homosexual agenda that is being shoved down all of our collective throats on a daily basis. Leidelmeyer, Mendenhall, Comeaux, Christian, Love, et al., had as good of a physique, if not better, than Paris. But regular heterosexual white guys, or black guys for that matter, aren't quite as "interesting" in this unfortunate age where mental defectives like Caitlyn Jenner have been cast as heroes.

It always cracks me up to see homophobes/likely closet cases using that particular phrase to complain about gay people
Paris wasn't even close to being out when he won the nationals and so anything being shoved down your throat at that time is probably just a repressed memory

It always cracks me up when homosexual activists always claim that anyone who opposes their radical agenda must be either homophobic or a latent homosexual. Why is it so hard to believe that the overwhelming majority of people in this world are not mentally ill? If one feels the urge toward homosexuality they should resist it in much the same way one might resist the urge to murder someone who cuts him off on the highway. Resisting the urge to commit acts of deviant or unnatural behavior is part of being a civilized human being.

Yeah, nothing in your post above indicates self loathing closet case.
Sounds like resisting that urge is giving you a lot of anger.

i'm fine with bob being gay. i could never compete with him for a female, I'd lose on every count, so it's nice to know he's not in the pond, and he's taking another handsome man out of the pool. My chances just went up!
i read his book about a million times in the 9th grade. I still remember passages, darn partial photographic memory. I had no idea he was gay, I thought he was seriously the luckiest man alive to look that handsome with those insane lines, that posture, that focused attitude. As always, makes no difference, love who you love... that's how we were made.
Bob's an awesome dude. I gotta download that book now.

If one can't see that two men behaving like a man and a woman is an unnatural state violently at odds with the laws of nature, there is really no help for you.

Same. I'm open-minded, just not open-ended.

The late Patrice O'Neal absolutely nails it about the Gay cartel that co/runs Hollyweird...
Starts around the 4 min mark. Talks about Tracy Morgan being black balled for using the term "homo" in his comedy routine...
"Why is being gay a preference, but tying a bitch up and peeing on her a fetish?"

It was because he wasn't willing risk himself with the drugs. No other reason than that.

he wasn't exactly a natural when he became a pro LMAO
He didn't want to be an average pro being outsized, and decided to write books and do other things.
he's very smart, but he competed at the top levels for nearly TWELVE YEARS and trained for years before that. He was a tier 3 scrub, by today's analogy.
http://www.musclememory.com/show.php?s=bob+paris&g=M
Bob was on the gas for 15 or 17 years. That's a long career. Competed from early 81 to 92. LOL @ Bob wouldn't risk the drugs. He was just too small.

That wasn't the point. He didn't want to use anymore that he had to. He made the Olympia stage on very little and used very little throughout his career.

What? He was on tons of gas. Look how skinny he is naturally. Look how much he added, ripped. LOL @ any notion that Bob just used a 'widdle bit'. Look at these pics. What "very little" dose makes that trasnformation?

What's a light cycle for top 7 Olympia?
That's awesome, did he go light? Did he really keep that perfect posture in everything he did?
-
This is as big as I've ever seen Paris. Doses higher than what he was taking, here, probably would have taken its toll on his waist.

In Bob's defense, those Two pics are like 30 years apart .

The only shame is he could have pulled all sorts of pussy with his physique.

Wait a minute...... two grown, muscular, hairy men 'rectum fucking' each other isn't normal?

Paris should've won the Olympia more than a few times. Handsome face, well spoken with a superb physique.

Homosexuality is a preference/fetish to who you want to have sex with...It has zero to do with love or affection...Many heterosexual men have an affection or love toward other men. Bro/crush etc. It's not until they have sex with a man that they are homosexual...Many men would kill anybody for their dog and love their dog with everything in their heart. It's not until the guy has sex with the dog is it actually beastiallity. Homosexuals use words like homophobe and closet cases to hide from the very fact of what I just wrote. It doesn't make a person a homophobe just because they don't like your certain "fetish"...You get away with calling people homophobes etc because the homosexual cartel is extremely powerful. There are many homosexuals out there that don't call others homophobes because of who they have sex with. The if your not with us you're against us is so fucking retarded...

Doubtless you are correct but I prefer the physique of Paris over Haney as I do that of Zane over Haney or Columbu. And Arnold over all else save Steve Reeves.

Yeah, in the end, that's probably it Joe. And I applaud him for that as well. Might actually wind up living a normal lifespan.

Bob is a very smart guy. He knew his limitations. Didn't have that addictive personality like most in bodybuilding have. In the offseason he would stay probably around 240-50 while Rory would blow up to 300.
-
Bob was a pro for 12 years.
-
Looks like he got out of competing around the same time as Haney
-
How can anyone tear into someone for being what he/(she) is from birth?
I am as hetero as they come, but I also understand (true) homosexuals do not choose their sexual orientation. Just as I did not choose my heterosexuality.
That they are sexually attracted to others of their own sex isn't something to hold against them.
We make homo jokes (I'm guilty), but fact is, a guy like Bob is, by all accounts, a very decent fella, and we should hope for his continued happiness.
-
One of the funniest lines in the movie Stripes.
-

And?

And?
you dont place decent at the O - as a skinny ectomorph - while taking next to nothing.
My Q is... how do you KNOW what he was taking? Cause he told you? Pros lie all the time about their dose. And Bob lied to many people about use at all, as all pros do. So how do you know he wasn't just telling you "oh yeah, 400 mg of this..." and shooting another gram or eating handfuls of dbol at another time?
Pros lie all the time to 'non-trained' people about using at all. Why wouldn't they lie about the extent of their use to people they casually know in the gym?
-
You have to wonder about these guys who insist that Paris was the greatest bodybuilder of all time and he did it on virtually no drugs. Truth is, he probably didn't even have the best genetics of white bodybuilders of his generation, let alone the bros. If he was not a militant homosexual we would be saying he had a great build in the Zane tradition and leave it at that. Instead, he's being talked about as the uncrowned, greatest Mr. O of all time who simply didn't reach those heights because a) he sucked dick on the regular and therefore was, for some reason persecuted by the poofs who judge bodybuilding contests; and b) he nobly wouldn't take the same amount of drugs as everyone of his peers did. F this sodomite.

probably the best looking, self-proclaimed nearly-natural bodybuilder the world has ever known.
This is him 2 or 3 years after he stopped competing? Just the finishing touch, huh?

There are hundreds of mens fitness types who pose in board shorts who if they took what Bob took, would look just as good if not better than Paris...The thing is, it takes a seriously mentally ill human to use 3 to 5 grams a week of male hormones for over a decade. Not many people want to do such a thing...

Stimulates the mind. We will all be quick at 80 from arguing over anything.
Way more fun than crossword puzzles.
Seriously, lots of pros exaggerate how little they use. They feel dumb bragging about 2 grams a week to get 9th at the ny pro
-
All the way smart dude.
Total blowhard (no pun intended).
1) Talks about himself in the 3rd-person
2) Bemoans the fact that he's "forced" to use steroids to compete as if he didn't have a choice to stay natural or do something else
3) Claims that he lost $1 million in business opportunities because he had to train for the Olympia which is laughable
-
He's a narcissist for sure. But also comes across as a sociopath. And there isn't a sociopath in the world that doesn't use lying as a way to get by...Does Coach really believe a narcissistic sociopath would tell him the truth about what
You're confusing sociopath for psychopath. Sociopaths MO is about not attaching themselves with people. They're not generally manipulators at all. They'd rather not even have to deal with you. It's the psychopaths who are the true manipulators, with agendas. Paris is neither.
-
In Gorilla suit he spoke about using HGH for his National and Universe wins.
That cadaver HGH back then; pretty hard to get.
Those were IMO his hardest looks. I've got the 1989 Niagra Falls on DVD
where he was ripped but he looked better in 1983.
I was at my pool when the Kuzzalina brothers just got back from California
visiting people in the scene and it taking them about an hour to convince me
that Bob was gay. This was in 85-86 when I placed 3rd at a Teen Nationals
as a natural.
Bob was praised so much because many of the people in power at that time
started lifting because they saw Steve Reeves in the Hercules movies.
Stallone is one of them.
He was the modern day Steve Reeves and gay or not, any woman, man or chimpanzee
could tell that there was a beauty to his body and facial features.
If BBing was purely an art form he would deserve Mr. Olympia BUT
it never has been. It's been a muscle show 1st with some aesthetics and art blended.

did he admit to using hgh? that was new and serious shit in the late 80s.

http://musclememory.com/show.php?s=Bob+Paris&g=M
He had a 7th at the O in 1984.
He defeated names like Sergio Oliva, Tom Platz, Chris Dickerson, Pearson, Boyer Coe, Charles Glass, Robby Robinson.
He was an awesome BBer. But he used HGH when it was rare, he had shit genetics and beat those with MUCH better genetics. A bob Paris beating down freakin' Platz and Oliva and Dickerson? not on "small" doses.
If he admitted HGH use to you, I'd believe his low-dose claim more. Did he admit hgh?
