-
Man that pic says it all. So ghey this sport is.

I remember seeing him at the Olympia expo back in 99. He had a t-shirt on that said, fuck genetics. He was fucking massive and shredded despite his shape. Dude was a legit freak in his day.
-
all those pics conveniently hide/minimize the gut.
He had his place and competed highly in a very tough field; I think he could take the newer crop at his best.

They look like a bunch of queers at a strip club. I bet if you asked a random person, they'd tell you that's what they thought.

I saw Dave in Boston once and he was 315 with abs and vascular as hell.
If he didn`t blow out his body with gear,he could have been a good pro.
-
Big Dave should have went pro back then. It's strange how so many of those guys (I'm thinking of dudes Muscletech made popular like Eric Froum, Matt Duval, Jeremy Freeman) had to "struggle" for an elusive pro card and Palumbo never got it.

100% correct and they're dead too (Matt and Eric anyhow). I always thought Dave upset someone in power, allegedly because he kept taking guest posing gigs as an amateur.
For what it's worth not winning a pro card probably saved Daves life.

Greasy cockroach.

A prominent Long Island body builder has been arrested by federal agents on charges of illegally selling a drug that is in high demand in both the body-building underground and among victims of HIV-AIDs, according to officials.
David Palumbo, a nationally competitive body builder and the editor of "Rx Muscle" magazine, was charged Wednesday in U.S District Court in Central Islip with illegally distributing a counterfeit version of the human growth hormone, somatropin.
Palumbo, 36, of 3708 Somerset Dr., Seaford, did not fight his removal to San Diego where federal officials plan to arraign him on charges of conspiracy to distribute somatropin, also known as Serostim, and to traffic in counterfeit products.
Palumbo's attorney, Marc Gann, of Carle Place, declined to comment, as did Assistant United States Attorney Wayne Baker.
The drug, which is belived to mimic a normal human growth hormone in fostering muscle development, is legally available by prescription to combat severe wasting among AIDs patients. But it is eagerly sought in the black market of body building for its ability to foster muscle growth, supposedly without side effects, officials say.
For that reason it is considered by officials to be one of the drugs most widely diverted for illegal use. Somatropin is also costly; a month's dose for an AIDS patient can cost over $5,000. Controversy has surfaced in the medical community over whether the benefits to AIDs patients outweigh the drug's expense and whether less expensive treatments are equally effective.
Palumbo allegedly bought 200 boxes of a counterfeit version of Serostim from a San Diego supplier in July 2002 and subsequently resold some of the drug to individuals in Colorado and Washington State, according to Thomas Nasiatka, an agent with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. A month's supply is considered to be four boxes, each containing seven injectable doses, one for each day of the week.
U.S. Magistrate Arlene Lindsey released Palumbo on $50,000 bail on the understanding that he would voluntarily surrender himself to the Justice Department in San Diego. If convicted on the charges, Palumbo could face up to five years in prison.
Weightlifter Sentenced For Selling Fake HGH
Palumbo Bought Counterfeit Drug From San Diego-Based Distribution Ring
POSTED: 11:25 am PST December 20, 2004
UPDATED: 11:31 am PST December 20, 2004
SAN DIEGO -- A professional body builder who sold fake human growth hormone has been sentenced to five months in federal prison and five months of house arrest.
Dave Palumbo, of Long Island, N.Y., bought the counterfeit serostim from a San Diego-based distribution ring. Four other men, including a father and son from National City, have pleaded guilty.
Palumbo pleaded guilty in San Diego federal court in October to illegally selling 90 boxes of the fake hormone for about $63,000.
His lawyer argued in court Friday that the weightlifter and editor of RxMuscle magazine thought he was dealing with the real thing and injected some of the concoction himself.
Prosecutors say Palumbo appeared on national television as an expert on counterfeit hormone and should have known the difference between the real and fake versions of serostim, a hormone approved for use by underweight AIDS patients.
The fake serostim was made by an Oregon company for Ronald Nollett Sr. and Roland Nollett Jr., of National City.
