Reminds me of the gym in the 90s for sure.  Even the later 80s.

Roided men screaming encouragement to their equally roided training buddy.

Yeeaghh!  Hulk smash!  Yeeaghh!  Hulk crush puny weight!  Yeeagh!

yeah, that's easily the gayest introduction & training video I've ever seen, and I include Branch Warren's black & white semi-porno training video from 2007 where he basically screamed for 3 hours straight while walking around with plated-loaded chains around his neck and threw barbells across the gym.

90s were the Golden age of everything.

Literally the most interesting decade.


Anyway,I don't see your point.

This video is 300 times better than today's phaggoty boring bodybuilding videis after which I wan't to kill myself knowing how faggoty and uninteresting the gyms and weightlifting had become.

In person, Palumbo was an absolute freak. Just a behemoth.

I attended a meeting with him in the late ‘90s, and he was full of veins and had paper-thin skin, and he weighed 315 pounds.

Sweating like a maniac. Out of breath from climbing several steps.

Unfortunately, on stage in a battle thong, he looked largely unpleasant.

Then began what we now know as Palumboism.

Th only people who think the 90s were the Golden Age of Bodybuilding are those who were born after 1975

Note to those people: It wasn't the Golden Age of Bodybuilding.

It was the beginning of the end of bodybuilding.

I don't know about the 'Golden Age of BB' but,
1965 > 1980 was romantic time of bodybuilding, everyone wanted to attend NABBA MR.Universe in London & visit Venice beach !.

So?

You like the idea of bodybuilding that you like,and I like a different kind.

We kids were super hyped and inspired seeing those mass monsters in the 90s.
It was not so much bodybuilding that I was interested in,more like weightlifting and getting jacked and massive.
Not the thong battle.
And these guys from the 90s look a hell of a lot better than the bloated monstrosities today.
Even Palumbo looked awesome for some time,like in this video....before he developed the syndrome.

Was any era The Golden Age
Very likely depends on when you were born or what type of physique’s you like
All subjective.

Personally it’s the big bloated belly’s on stage I don’t Like
I see great physiques from all era’s.
Though from the 80’s to early / mid 2000’s was likely the most competitive
& Had the most quality physiques.

It’s true. His midsection was grotesque.

Plus he isn’t exactly a looker (no homo).

Palumbo was injecting or inhaling pills hourly in those days. Frightening.

Despite his caveman countenance and worm-like physique, he scored himself a passably cute woman half his age. Proof women are, as always, inured to the unpleasantness of the masculine appearance as long as it's underpinned by dollar bills or social status:

I would say the 60ies and 70ies were the "best".

80ies had that cool superpower-vibe... everything started to scale up(including bodybuilders) and get fancier, from the perspective of a kid America was ruled by Hulk Hogan whose office was on a nuclear powered supercarrier blasting Masters Of The Universe over the speakers.

The 90ies were the beginning of the end albeit I have to admit that the freaks were fascinating... Potrudo, Yates and especially Fux(end of the 90ies) were the shit. I will never forget when I first saw Fux - it was simply unbelievable.

Never payed much attention later despite in the early 2000s I enjoyed the MD craze with the porno style babe foldouts.

Fux was one of the freakiest drug experiments of all time.

Loved his bravado in stating he’d just squat 675 for some photos for FLEX (after he’d squatted earlier that day ... or the day before) ...

Then proceeds to crumple under the barbell into a screaming heap of epic pain and horror.

He was truly fuxed.

Dude never recovered. Took the vinegar right out of him.
