Title: Who is the best/most famous BB you have shared a stage with?
Post by: Never1AShow on February 24, 2016, 07:08:16 PM: I don't really recall if Titus and I were on the same stage (different classes) but we're in the same show. Maybe during the initial night show everyone was on stage. If this doesn't count then Dave Fisher.

Same with Cormier, same show different classes. Possibly on same stage. Is he more famous than Titus?

Unfortunately I don't think I hung with any of the ones I mentioned, they were clearly a cut above in size, muscle density and shape. I was usually in pretty good shape, but far far from that pop that those who transition to higher levels seem to have.

Post by: Rambone on February 24, 2016, 08:05:53 PM: The closest I've ever come to sharing anything with a famous BBer was when I spotted Jason Genova on flat bench back in 2010 or 2011. He would've got 225 stuck on his chest if it wasn't for me. I should've done the world a favor and slid it towards his neck.

A good friend of mine once lent his Lat straps to one of the barbarian brothers at Golds.

As do I. I don't even have pictures from the last show I was in where I was at my all time best. Young and cheap and poor and stupid. gone into some photographers trash bin decades ago, priceless to me.

My only hope now is at some point aliens land on earth and say they've had cameras and video running on all of earth 24/7 for the last 5000 years.

So most famous is Dave Palumbo!
Personally,I`1d say Leon Brown who trained with Arnold and the boys and the ageless Elliot Gilchrist,who competed against the best of his day for decades also.

If you`re so inclined,look up their records on musclememory....true legends that competed against upper echelon guys for decades.

There have plenty more but most here other than the old timers would remember them.

Like I said,I`m nobody but it was a distinct pleasure to meet and talk to these guys and to have been in the same shows with them.

You`ve done it all and lived and breathed it and still do to this day.

Kinda` like my dumbass who doesn`t know when to quit but I`m certainly not comparing us as you are a true legend.

Post by: 240 is Back on February 25, 2016, 09:15:08 PM: I stood onstage at the tampa pro with dan, bob chic, and ron avidan back in 2006.

It was after the contest, but literally, I was on the stage taking pics afterwards. Met a bunch of other folks, whole bunch of backstage odd sights and smells. David Henry looked like an alien in person, I mean no videos or pics can bring his graininess justice, it was just like he was carved out of little squiggly worms of rock. Goodness knows how much lasix or whatever else is needed to get a person that dry, but wow, it was impressive. If DH is 5 foot 11, he has a stack of Sandows.
