He had a great physique, esp chest & waist, so I wonder why he placed so bad as an IFBB pro... politics?

Cool - does he mention his pec tear? I notice in a lot of your interviews they sort of shy away about talking about the end of their careers and how it happened. Mike Quinn never even mentioned that late '90s NOC show he did, acted like '94 NOC was his last.

No, he didn't mention that. We just talked about his career competing in Europe and the NABBA and WABBA organization then competing in the IFBB in the '80's. He also talked about helping Shawn Ray and Vince Taylor and his mental aspect to training. That was really interesting. He applied the same principles to his sons, all of whom have a good chance of being inducted into the NFL.
-
Shawn really looked up to him.
-
It's crazy how big bodybuilding was in Europe in the early 1980's.
-
I remember being impressed with this pic back in the day.

His sons are Egyptian Gods. The NFL is beneath them.

on the hbo special he talked about how his sons were groomed from before birth to be world class wide receivers [no not that kind.no homo] he picked the woman he thought would bear him the best genetic makeup to give him star athlete sons.
-
One of the most interesting parts of the interview I did with him was his mental approach to training and competition. He talked about a girl he worked with who was competing in the Ms. Galaxy competition where she had to do an obstacle course. She called him up crying that she was going to lose the contest because her time running the course wasn't good enough. He asked her what time she needed to get to win the obstacle course contest and she told him so he said, "Go to a place where you can be by yourself and repeat that time to yourself over and over again for 15 min". She did it and ran the course and got that exact time.

completely cringe worthy when people make this statement. ball and brown just followed the williams (serena and venus) and woods' (tiger) blue print. all i can see is, he married a woman round 6'0 to his 6'2 to increase the odds they'd all be over 6'2+ which is optimal for WRs. maybe you could add she had long limbs ::) . other than that, it's like Ray saying he married Kristy b.c it would insure Asia could dance, just cringe worthy!

So if she had gone and repeated over and over that she could fly that would have worked as well?

Basically John Brown picked the woman that he thought was superior to him aka Color Struck. And then came up with that ignorance. And the naming of them after Egyptian Gods and changed their name to St. Brown. He's trying to make them more than what they are, and not allowing them to be their own selves.
Ever notice that a lot of the female tennis players have issues with their fathers, who were the ones that pushed them?

He couldnt win the tall class Southern California or Mr America
His placing in the IFBB seem very fair

And he didn't do too well amongst the IFBB pros.

Shawn really looked up to him.
do you know Shawn ray personally or just trying to sound like you do?

i see you're new to getbig, so you get a temporary troll pass. anyway, shawn spoke highly of him for years on this board and in his videos.

Did you see it Funk , it's fascinating.
-
Fuck the idiot. He had a really good physique but that's about it.
-
hes the only person to win the overall amateur Universe twice...
yes that's good going.
Must of been really tough competition at the California & America then as he couldn't win
-
So if she had gone and repeated over and over that she could fly that would have worked as well?
Probably not because humans can't fly but it worked good for running the obstacle course
-
Did you see it Funk , it's fascinating.
yes , it was pretty interesting. his kids seem very grounded and mixed athletics with academics equally. he also stated that he was the first to incorporate dancing into his posing routine.

Yup, will be interesting to see if they make it to the NFL. If not they should be well prepared for the world.

With their dad barking orders at them. Control freak...

Something like that. He was in Melvin Anthony's first vid, when he turned Pro. Telling (commanding him) him how to pose.

Said he benced over 500 in the interview... crazy chest. Shame about the pec tear

serves him right for trying to bench 500lbs

definitely caught up to him.
good interview though. he is pretty full of himself, lots of boasting

There is a reason for the boasting. Aside from the Mr. Universe, when he went head to head against the top guys, how did he do? Ronnie, Dorian, Haney, etc and the top who competed against them don't need to be boastful.

BULLSHIT
-

Almost every pec tear seems to come from heavy bench presses

who the fuck says inducted into the NFL? 'and next on ESPN, we'll look at the players most likely to be inducted into the NFL?'

Stupid retard names. FTN. Fuck the NFL, MLB, NBA, Olympics and especially the SchmOelympia.
That last one is not even an athletic event. It's a schmoedown for dirty old schmoemosexuals to fap the night away.
And who gives their kids such retarded names. Oh yeah, some negroes and weegroes. Retards.

Natural O, thanks for posting another excellent interview. The physique of John Brown has always reminded me the 1952 AAU Mr. California winner Bob Shealey. He was an accomplished competitive bodybuilder on the national level throughout the 1950's. Unfortunately, he was lost in the AAU wilderness with other outstanding bodybuilders of color such as George Paine, Arthur Harris, and Melvin Welles. John Brown, really awesome physique and tremendous, memorable poser.

Thanks Peter. Here's a pic of John Brown competing in the 1980 AAU Mr. America against Gary Leonard and Rufus Howard.

I didnt get a chance to listen all the way through. Did he mention his recent (within the last year or so) his bout with breast cancer and being in the hospital for it?
