Title: Poor man's Zane: Steve DAVIS
Post by: Nether Animal on February 21, 2017, 08:38:33 AM
Good build overall and he did make it onto the Olympia stage a few times.

Good interview with Ric Drasin

Had a great physique. If I remember correctly at his height he owned numerous gyms. A guy who trained with him wrote he appeared to train light until he trained with him.  He used 6 sets per exercise and by the 6th set that light weight on set one felt like an elephant. Short rests between sets.

Wow, haven't heard that name in a while. If you close your eye's and listen to his voice in this interview he sounds and speaks like Nick Saben. Great speaking voice.

I trained with Steve a number of times when he was getting ready for the 1981 Mr. Olympia. That is how he trained at the time. 6 sets same weight.

That before pic doesn't look like a 285 lb body even though it has always been attributed that way in print and is widely accepted. Schwarzenegger was a little taller and even at his biggest and fattest off-season condition never looked 25-35 lbs lighter than Davis in that pic.

I wish Drasin would just ask a question and then shut the fuck up and let his guest answer instead of constantly interrupting

Agreed.  And Davis had an excellent physique back then and comes across pretty good in this interview. 

However I do have trouble viewing Drasin on film now that I know he packed Sprague's fudge back in the day.

Sheesh, some bodybuilders are lazy mofos who will do anything to avoid real work.

I think the same exact thing with every interview. He asks a question then he answers his own question. It's like talking to my wife.

Poor mans Mayor of Bodybuilding : Nether Animal.

I'll be sure to add that to the list of your obsession with me:

So whats Nether Animal ? Secretary of BB ?

I expect Nether Animal to make a RIP thread salivating over his corpse.

He is Nether's dildo. :P

Interesting how Nether avoids commenting on his thongs now.

Big Ro left Getbig because Nether Animal refused to make one of his schmoe  threads about him despite all the Skype sessions they had.

This is for Nether Animal.



They were approved by Nether Animal, Getbigs BB expert.

Nether Animal will help him train his lower body. :P

Nether Animal, He is still worth your cum cleaning wipes...

More fap material for Nether Animal.

Nasser's best year was when he was on top of Nether Animal.

Everyone does a dreamer_ bulk at one point, but not everyone smartens up and gets in shape after.

Glad to see he came to his senses. Legit physique.
