...and who/what got you started on the road to greatness ?
::)

About 36 years but my "road to greatness" is highly debatable.
I started training 3 times a week with football buddies, joined a real gym when the first one opened in my area a year later.

56 years, father bought me pic;d below...

EDIT: My first set was fucking vinyl. :(

haven't started yet, I heard you grow when you rest so for now I am trying to do as much as that as possible. So far lots of growth but in all the wrong places, then again I heard that fat can turn into muscle so I am hoping for that to happen one day.
Arms are legit 24inchs

In 9th grade, saw a kid in gym sitting cross legged, and his legs were so skinny I thought it looked horrible. Then I sat in front of a mirror and was horrified that I looked the exact same.
Started lifting after that.
4 years after that, started working legs.

Started w/ fathers weights, he got me more for Xmas and a new bench.
Built gym in basement at 12 years old.

Sugar Shawn Ray was my motivation!

There was a guy in my neighborhood named Chris Gordon........looked like a super-hero,and he`s in Pumping Iron.
I joined the local YMCA where I saw future IFBB champ Dave Mastorakis who trained with the Mentzer brothers and I knew I had to add some weight to my whopping 98 pound frame! :D

I'm going to try working up gradually, to be able to deadlift 605 pounds. That way, I can look like a bag of smashed assholes, then claim I lift "for me".
-
Pretty young with the plastic weights in my neighbors basement. Eventually rode my bike to the HS gym and was benching close to 300 when I was 16. I think I weighed about 150.
Over 40 years.
-
Around 12 years.

Started aged 12 at home, propper gym at 16..now 34 and still plodding along.

I started at about 10/12.. got the lilo water bed pump and taped the end so the air never came out so fast. Pumped it and i never knew it was like a Bullworker at the time but it worked.

started at 15 with my dad's home gym. had many near death experiences getting buried under an empty olympic barbell lol
-
so you are fat?
I was out of the gym for the few years with health and personal issues. I was so sick I was down just under 160lbs.
I have been back training since the beginning of September and weighed in at 237lbs last Friday at5'9.
I have pudge yes, similar to Set It Up's build because of the same meds I take.
When I say I don't have the genetics for bodybuilding I mean in that muscle type shape and insertions, as per usual you read it as somehting else, just like when you believe the fighting in Seagal movies is real. Funny how Gene Lebell choked out your hero and made him shit his pants after he spend so much of his "acting" career cheap shoting stunt people in the balls
At least I don't bullshit my way through life on here like a certain drunken stealing dirty panty's out of my neighbour's house pervert that looks back at you in the mirror daily and wonders why you did not eat the bullet when you had the chance.
Oh what's that? You sold the bullets and pistol for a bottle of chinese cooking wine and a blowjob from a toothless german tranny.
Seriously, you can's win with me, so don't even start.
By the way, didn't you get kicked off Ironage for stalking a female mod for her panties?
-

I`ve rolled a lot of weights down from my chest to me stomach then had to sit up with it to keep from dying! :D
We`ve probably all been there when we started out.

When I was 6 I wanted to look like He Man. 30 years later I..........er...don't!

Hey Donna,

I found your competition photos

I competed in the 12`s only weighing 126...............no presence of mind back in 74` to just drop some weight.
First meet was the Boston Open Power Meet......came in third with the highest bench in my class.
Do you remember a Boston guy named Mike Cappacione.....great guy who helped me a lot during that meet as I was pretty green?

29 years,started to put on size for rugby, local gym owner told me I had genetics to be a bodybuilder, won junior nationals within 3 years.Kept going and winning but heart wasn't in it after that, was never comfortable with the drug abuse use,that ideology kind of holds you back. Will train till the day I die, hate modern bodybuilding.

Really?
Ya ok Donna ::)

Larry was da` man!
The guy who should have won that show lived near me for a while and was one of my inspirations to start lifting. I'd see him on the street and my jaw would drop. I couldn't believe that someone could look like that.

I`m going for a NABBA pro-card again next year............if I win it,I`m done.
I could have won it in 2011 according to the promoter but I got stranded in Binghampton N.Y. on my way to York Pa.
I never looked better in my life than I did at 57 years of age..........gonna` try to look better at 61 next year.
I have no clue why I`m doing this,after 60 or more contests,but if nothing else,I`ll test my limits and get into great shape if nothing else.
I think I can win it though,as my body is still holding up.........so far.

Thank you....I posted a few pics around 2 weeks after the contest....I was still cut but had lost a bit of an edge.

Poole was a tough guy too. He was the head bouncer of a huge club in Manhattan.
Yup,Weider fucked Rock Stonewall,Ken Covington,Poole,And a few others..........he did alright by Leroy Colbert,Oliva (finally),and Rick Wayne though.........this was later on of course.

If she doesnt answer back she does not, but I remember you specifically being banned from that board for harrassment of a female member, it was on the open board
no you canīt can you?..you fucking piece off shit. shut your mouth.

Well, you certainly are an inspiration to me, my friend. You look great! Well done!
Hey that`s nice of you to say Scott,but I`m nothing special,just trying to improve over my former lifestyle which was just a wee bit detrimental............. ..a WEEEEEEEEE bit too much! ;D

You started this in this thread Donny, did you not?
this was Wes's thread asking a decent question and you as usual are drunk and decided to pick a fight in the wrong thread when there are more appropriate threads for this.
I stand by my claim.
As well you maing that comment today about the female high school freshman swallowing.

My apologies to you gentleman for fucking up this thread, should have kept it to the one I started after Donny mouthed off

The only change that is worthy of acknowledgment is that which is for the better. From what you have said, I believe that to be so. I would not say as much if I didn't mean it. Well done, my friend.

Thanks Scott.
Nelson,no sweat man,after all this is getbig and all threads get sidetracked,if they didn`t,we`d definitely be on the wrong board. ;)

If you want someone to change for the better, you must offer a fitting path. And then lead the way yourself. Donny is a good man and I truly suspect the same is true of you.
We all have a sense of humor, even when it comes to ourselves but all too often it needs to be tempered with a sense of decency. On all sides.
Be well.
Back on topic. I met Draper nearly 40 years ago. We somewhat resemble one another so it was kinda like looking in a mirror. I imagine Dave thought he was looking in a Fun House mirror... ;D ;D
-
Donny is a good man......
You might not feel that way if you have a teenage daughter. :-\
-
When I was a kid I worked out in a buddy cellar................we had a pic of Draper on the ceiling over the bench so we`d easily get a couple more reps just from the inspiration.
Wish I felt that way about todays bodybuilders but it ain`t happenin` ! :(

Me and Donny just do not get along so we will leave it at that.
Anyways Dave Draper and Bill Pearl were and are my favourite bodybuilders from the pre 70's era and I admire the fact they have both kept it up, more so with Dave as we have had the same issues

I only know that which is presented to me. For example, Stunmovie said Wiggs is quite nice in the real world but he presents himself here (the only place I "know" him) as some sort of nation of islam leaning, pseudo-black suffragette bent upon the decimation of caucasionals except for (maybe) some of the women folk.
An idiot. Without question, an idiot.
If ever Wiggs proves otherwise, I will state as much. Donny has yet to go Wiggsian on me. ;D

I'm sorry you feeeeeeeeeeeeeeel that way...Could not resist. ;D

You should do very well.

There was nobody that motivated me to get started. I just always wanted to be big and strong. I started training at around 8 years old. I use to do pulls ups, push ups, dead lift a sand bucket. I would tie a belt around my Tonka truck and do curls. I finally had access to weights at 12 years old when my friend's father, who was a fireman, said we could go to the fire station and use the weights whenever we wanted. It just had a barbell, two adjustable dumbbells and a bench. In those days you had to clean a barbell to do military presses and squats. My friend quit after a month but I'd ride my bike everyday to train. I finally saved enough to get my own Sears 110 barbell set and bench at 15. I can clearly remember picking it up at the Sears store in Kahala Mall. I was so damn excited. My older brother made fun of me. He said, "My brother the He-man," in a sarcastic way.
So I officially count my "working out" beginning at 12. So I've been at it non stop for 44 years. It sure doesn't show but what am I suppose to do? Stop? Conclude that this is not for me as many say here? It's just so ingrained as a part of my life that I just can't imagine ever stopping.

that was really good Pellius! A lot of similarities with myself there...

I convince my dad to pay for one months training at Mit's Gym when I was 16. Mit was Arnold's go to guy here in Hawaii and was at Arnold's wedding. Both Arnold (when he was governor) and Franco immediately got on a plane when Mit died to attend his funeral. I know Arnold is often bashed as being ruthless and did whatever it took to come out on top, and I believe it. But he never forgot his friends from back in the day. When you consider the years spent as an actor and a politician, he was only a pro bodybuilder for a relatively short time (1969-75) but I bet he looks back on those days as the best and most enjoyable years of his life.

Around 20 years.

That is awesome and very constructive, Macgyver like for an 8 year old, props

41 years for me. Wes, Funk or anyone else ever have a Bullworker? It was my first serious piece of equipment, before joining any gym.

I remember an old timer in my first gym say that the judges had Poole on top, but, Weider wanted a white guy as the first. Looking at that pic, I believe it.
Poole was a tough guy too. He was the head bouncer of a huge club in Manhattan.
that was the cheetah club , he was also a bodyguard, seen below guarding the famous twiggy... did you bump into mike gubillo and or denie walters too

I met her when I was 15, me and 2 other friends got "winter recreation passes" in 1983 to the University of Manitoba gym (it was near our high school, and the gym was huge so they used to whore themselves out like a YMCA!!)
We used to see her come out from the change room, and she scared the hell out of us (we were all 15) as she talked and swore like a construction dude!!!
P.S. No, I'm NOT kidding...

Never had a Bullworker,but I had a Weider Power Twister.
Bought another one a few years ago at a yard sale just for nostalgias sake.

I used to be obsessed with going heavy,these days it`s more about intensity techniques,less rest between sets,and a strong mind/muscle connection.
I still try triples and stuff at times though..........ingraine d in mind from the old days.

Roughly 4 1/2 years now, added 40 lbs of muscle and haven't gained since.

...and who/what got you started on the road to greatness ?
::)
Started in 83 or so, training for football tryouts. Haven't stopped since.
Might've been '82 but the memory isn't what it used to be.

Yup,Weider fucked Rock Stonewall,Ken Covington,Poole,And a few others..........he did alright by Leroy Colbert,Oliva (finally),and Rick Wayne though.........this was later on of course.

I've been organizing my old mags for the last few days, and have been thinking of starting a thread with pics and articles from the old mags. I would prefer to keep it on G and O but I would expect it would be moved to the history boards.

I remember that and he fucked Nubret for forming and competing in W.A.B.B.A.
He couldn`t stop Oliva from competing in Eddie Sylvesters Mr. International held in Mexico though if memory recalls correctly.

that's the show where oliva was on stage yelling at arnold (in the audience with franco and weider) and arnold wouldn't go. weider threw franco up to pose with him to save face
