Damn freaky. Underrated wheels!

Hard to be underrated when you come in 2nd at the olympia three straight years.
But the 87 video iceman posted shows how good he was.

There was pro bodybuilder back in the mid 90's talking about rich: "The bigger he gets the uglier he gets-he's got nowhere to go"

He wasn't that aesthetic.

I think that was Mike Christian, in the mid eighties. Rich went on to whip Mike's ass every time they competed :D
-
He was a great bodybuilder.

He actually looks quite aesthetic there.

In the 80s their physiques were recognisable, different, today I see the same blob of water infested insulin pouring all over schmoes

Met Rich in 1988 at the EFBB north West show at Southport, he was guest posing.
He asked me to be his PT after we shared a urinal, Rich didnt wash his hands after leaving so I didnt decide to return his calls about the training, I didn't relish shaking hands with him if we met again.
I pestered me for months after because he said he needed a new approach to dethrone Haney.
How history would have been changed if had only been more hygienic.
PS, the only part of that thats true is the fact I met him.
A bit like or resident gimmick esfitness stories. (except he doesn't even meet anyone)

Never officially met him but have been within ear shot of him in his prime. He's was pretty arrogant, enough that I never wanted to meet him.

he was signing photos, he was happy to chat to people, hugely waterlogged when he guest posed.

Saw him guest pose 2 or 3 weeks before that Olympia once. He wasn't as ripped as I thought he would be but he sure was the day of the show.

I picked up on this the last few times you did it. It's funny, keep it up. ;D
-
He was very good for his era. This was a time when not everyone
site injected delts. Now, everyone has capped delts but rarely
a striation. Our current Mr. O looks to have much scar tissue on those
incredibly round delts but they look smooth.
Compare Dex & Phil when they hit a Crab MM.
Rich was very complete with no real weak bodyparts.
After the 1988 Olympia he never seemed to get that skinless
look again. I didn't think he looked that great when he won the 1st Arnold.
Compare any Olympia showing up to then and it kills his 89 Arnold look.
Gaspari hit his all time peak at 23 at the 1986 Pro Worlds.
Here he talks about it with John Hanson & there is a little bit of footage.
Starts at 16:00 min. till around 20 min.
He said it hurt him because the judges expected that look & he could never
quite duplicate it again although close many times.
-
Rich Gaspari - 1987 Mr. Olympia (MASSIVE)
He looked really good in that post 1987 Olympia Grand Prix against
Haney. I could watch that GP & make a case for Rich winning. He was
more complete than Haney at that show especially waist down but Haney's
height & structure ruled the day.
-
I worked with a guy that was a sometime training partner of Gaspari. I got out of work and the guy I worked with Mike called me over to his car. Gaspari was with him. This was in his prime. He was wearing shorts and his legs looked like skinned dinosaur legs. This was when he was one of the top bodybuilders on the planet. Gaspari had a reputation back then for being one of the hardest trainers alive.
-
The guy was crazy hard & grainy looking at his peak.

Damn freaky. Underrated wheels!
MOST OVERRATED BB EVER!!!
Never has 2nd place looked so bad, nevermind a consecutive O runnerup ??? ??? ???
-
Wasn't he the guy who started hiking up the posing trunks to show off the ripped glutes? Labrada had ripped glutes but didn't feel the need to gay it up like Gaspari did.
-
Labrada was 10x the bber gaspari was
Lebrada still looks better than gaspari today
-
Labrada was 10x the bber gaspari was
Gaspari would be a 3x Olympia winner if not for Haney, won the AC, and changed the game with his conditioning.
Labrada won Gran Prix shows and the NoC......
Gaspari >>>> Labrada.

ultimately it depends who was taller

By that logic Phil Heath will prob go down as the best bber ever
He's better than Kevin, flex, Nasser, Shawn, etc
Labrada was runner up twice to Haney and beat gaspari 3x at the O compared to gaspari beating him twice
Gaspari was a OVERRATED bber

Why would someone who won the most coveted title in the sport more than anyone else in history NOT go down as the best bber ever? ??? ???

You must not know who Branch Warren is.

Isn't Rich the one who will go down in history as the one who made Vic Richards meltdown and to never compete in the pros?

he was way over at the 87 Olympia, came in too waterlogged, tried to chase Haney for size, he was much better in 88

Getbig doesn't seem to agree that Phil is better than flex, Shawn, levrone, Nasser, etc
Let's say Phil wins 9, do u agree he's better than Ronnie, Arnold, Dorian, Haney??
Branch was a two time Arnold winner and runner up at the O, so by your logic is he better than chris Cormier since chris never won the Arnold?
-

Pretty much everyone competing in this era of bbing except dexter
-
:)
-
Conditioning :o
-
:)
Gaspari is closer to the camera and in focus, Haney is further back and out of focus.
Rest assured, Gaspari never had a better back than Lee Haney
-

100% agreed. His arms sucked, he was blocky and narrow. His bacne didn't help either.
-
Gaspari was definitely overrated. No doubt Lee Labrada had a better physique.
-
i used to go to the same pancake house as gaspari in new jersey back in the 80s, he wasnt a very big eater, he used to order just one pancake and then cover the whole plate with whipped cream, he said it got him energy for days. i didnt think much of it at the time but looking back i wonder what my physique would've looked like had i only ordered the same thing.
-
I always thought Gaspari was over rated shite when I saw his pics in magazines but when I bought the video from the 1987 Olympia I realised he actually looked quite impressive.

Don't care what getbig thinks.
Do I think heath would beat Yates or prime Coleman? No.
But if he wins 9 Mr. Olympias in a row, that's something no bodybuilder has been able to ever do, so he'd be the best/most successful ever.
-
Gaspari was taller.
By several inches. Gaspari was at least 5'8" if not close to 5'9" legit (not the 5'7" some people claim him to have been). Labrada was in the 5'3" and change range and at least 3" shorter than Shawn Ray who was 5'6"....maybe 5'7".
-
To all those who claim that Gaspari was short (5'7"), here he was in running shoes next to 5'11" Lee Haney who is in flip flops and they are around the same height. Gaspari was taller than people think (5'8"-5'9" barefoot at his peak).

Haney isn't even standing straight and some pics and angles can be deceiving

24 years old with horrible back acne and a gut he could barely control? blah!

Gaspari's prime.....LOLOLOL
Gaspari is almost as gnomey as Branch.
another highly overrated great white hope
-
While I can respect the amount of work he put in, I was never a fan of his build. Or Labrada's for that matter. But at least they still have hair. In fact, just thinking off the top of my head (no Google) I can only think of them, Dorian and Berry who still have hair - there must be more, surely...

huge correlation with bacne and hair follicle type on white dudes (dorian full head of hair, dennis wolf etc) thick or very wavy hair type for white men can epic issues like that. bro science but huge correlation

Thankfully, the MPB in my family went after the other branch of the tree hard, so my hair is thicker than King Kamali's - never needed to even consider shaving my head, Praise the Weider! 8)
Still shaving my b4lls though for some reason.... just can't seem to kick that habit and go back to rocking 'furry dice'.... :P
