Title: MOMO - 92 Olympia
Post by: Nether Animal on April 07, 2016, 07:11:29 PM
Dude is carrying a ton of muscle but his lines took a big hit with that distension, to say nothing of the brutal gyno that has his nipples looking like Nasser's eyes.

If Momo didn't meet his end prematurely, do you think he would have continued to compete at the highest level, or was he already beginning a downward slide?

It's a damn shame this movie was released after his death. Affleck could've saved Momo's life!

Lol. And nobody could have guessed that 16th place Ronnie Coleman in the back would be Mr. Olympia in 6 years.

One of the strengths of his physique was that unlike some shorter competitors, his limbs didn't look 'stumpy' (for want of a better word) to begin with.  I think this is one of the reasons he could pull off that amount of mass on his frame - because he had the proportions to do so all along...

Milos said the doctor gave him a fatal shot of potassium due to misdiagnosis, but I'm not sure how reliable that is.

Thierry Pastel and Steve Brisbois were both present

another lightweight but with lightheavyweight legs ,,he had good build and did a few pro shows but like farnsworth too small to do damage if 202/212's were around when he turned pro he could have done well..

I think that the doctor didn't know what the hell those idiots were taking. They were all asking for it.

I remember an article in musclemag the stated that the doctor said something like this: "you guys pump yourselves full of drugs year round and when something goes wrong; you want a doctor to save you at the the last minute"

Basically, bodybuilders go out of their way to harm themselves.

porter cotrell freaked and being fireman worked on momo hard and to no avail.steve brisbois looked great during that time and had a small but complete build momo's death floored him and he quit bbing /drug aspect right after that.

I spoke to milos about hyper vs. hypokalemia.  he said the symptoms are near identical, and hyper is very rare in the real world so the drs. assume it is hypo (low potassium).  they administer more potassium, usually resulting in cardiac arrest; as excess potassium will quickly stop the heart.

Not on the downside. 89,90 he placed great. 91 he was in good shapee but had pretty obvious gyno and hurt his placings. He was winning contests and placing high again in 92.

Well I have forgotten a lot thank God, but I do remember hearing he was taking up to 40 clen per day leading up to the show and the only source of fluids he was getting was pureed apples. I guess he said that was enough when people had warned him.

Once he got back to his room he started to cramp. Steve B was there and I guess Portor Catrell was called too. He was cramping so bad they said he was completely lock up like a statue as he sat in his chair. They called a Dr but the language barrier didn't help things. He went into cardiac arrest and I'm pretty sure they did CPR but it was way too late. Even if he was in an ER I don't think that he could have been saved, just too far gone.

A doc was called to his room earlier who adviced drinking some tomato juice. DiPasquale speculated he was on Nubain or other narcotics, like most of the others, which may have made his vitals look "normal", leading the doc to not realizing the seriousness of the dehydration.

I always wanted to see pics from the last geand prix show which Momo won but never saw any.
