Bodybuilding and this account of normal can not coexist :D

"Normal" bodybuilders, eat 6/8 times a day, sleep 8/10 hours, workout 2 hours, inject hormones before meals, offer training "services" and check
"likes" in the time between.

The beautiful man with glasses tried to balance a bodybuilding lifestyle with education and study, however selling his well worn thong pushes him back into the Lonnie Taper area.
 
Haney and Yeats are as good as it gets in relation to normalicy, plus they were champions- there may be a link!

Troy Alves is a really down to earth and cool guy. served in the forces, family man etc.
I'd say Evan too, family man who just gets on with his business, no bravado or any of the other bullshit.

Dorian was normal?!

He was a machine / monk in his heyday, which is why he went off the rails when he quit and has now found Zen, THC and Yoga in the third phase of his adult life.

He was never normal, he just wasn't a ghetto twat with an attention seeking complex like so many of them.

Pakulski is actually a pretty normal guy. Doesn't walk around like a peacock, wears normalish clothes, and is well rounded enough to have conversations that are nothing to do with the gym.

Lee Haney

Anyone who is interested in "normal" or being accepted as normal is not going to be likely to turn pro.

Pakulski is a scumbag though that is a ticking time bomb for getting exposed for some shady or illegal shit.


For example a couple months ago he posted a lengthy "article" on his website, he had LITERALLY copy and pasted the ENTIRE thing from Juggernauts book "a scientific approach to strength training" (I might be wrong on the exact title) Got called on it, acted like a total dick about it.

In the ensuing Facebook posts etc John Meadows stated he was previously supposed to collaborate with Ben on a project but had been warned by several people not to get involved with him. Very shady character by all accounts and not near as smart as he makes out, a copy and paste artist.

Didn't Troy Zuccoloto turn out OK?  He's some kind of millionaire latter day St. Mayo of longevity, isn't he?  (Pics of his mansion and Lamborghini in this article.  He also wear $250k time pieces, so he's a propah GetBigger)

Look for mention of "The Youth Tech Longevity and Laser Institute" in the article to see how well he's done

Based on personal experience ...It's good to see that Haney is mentioned.

And I agree entirely. He and his wife are great people!

Many years ago I offered a minor suggestion which according to Lee turned out to be a major factor in winning a major contest and he thanked me saying that he would never have won that contest without heeding my suggestion (which was merely rotating his arms so that the peak of his biceps wold be better seen by the judges instead of the audience.)

I did mention that it was a MINOR suggestion, right!"

I'd also add to that NORMAL list ....

Gary Strydom was super-cool to everyone even though he was running late to arrive at an event on time ... and other important NORMAL stuff.

Steve Reeves, whom to me, seemed to be one of the most normal acting kids in the neighborhood. (San Francisco / Oakland Bay Area)
Even took a punch and got knocked down flat!!

Bill Grant
Dennis Newman
Etc.
Etc.

What the hell does "NORMAL" even mean within todays society!?

Oh, and Vince Taylor.

Doesn't do dumb shit.
Doesn't shill anything out of the ordinary.
Not a convicted criminal (abused plenty of drugs which is necessary to be an IFBB pro, otherwise all IFBB are out of the question).
No illness if you don't count muscle and joint injury.

Ronnie Coleman fits the bill.

To top it off, he has a college degree and actually has held a real job for an extended period of time. That alone makes him a standout in the IFBB.

This is one the rare GetBig posts that I almost totally agree with.

I;d probably agree 100% but I have not worked with all the individuals named so far, so I can only agree with those mentioned that I have worked with in the past.

Good to see Paris mentioned and I agree completetely. We threw him in the ocean with a couple of dolphins and the didn’t want him to leave.

And as  mentioned earlier …. Cottrell and Ingram and Francois and Demey should all be ranked at the top of that normal/good guy list.

When I first met John Grimick he always appeared to be pissed off at something. (Probably me!)

But then many years later, a couple of others have said the same.....
about Grimace, NOT me!

But I could be mistalken .

Please remove the ? from Labrada.

And let me add Gaspari!

Oh Yea! I forgot to add Jeff and Corey Everson when they were together competing.

Jeff is such a normal guy that he had the surrounding vacant lots around his very large home planted with cactus and made is look like a real western town with a covered wagon. He liked it so much that he did it across the street and then across another street.

Then he sold it and moved away to Paradise and beyond.

A very normal type of guy.

Can anyone recall Joe Nazario?
