RIP to Jeff Everson, who passed away at age 68
Met Jeff a long time ago, and even went to visit him at his house in Woodland Hills, up on Topanga Canyon, when they were filming various tv events. The place was awesome and big, and even had various exotic animals and birds in the backyard. This was after he divorced from Cory.
Jeff Everson was at one time married to Cory Everson.
-
Wow....he was still in his 60's wasn't he?
Enjoyed many of his articles, and tipped my hat to him for shaggin the best Ms. O ever

From Robert Goldman
"Huge Loss for the Body Building world. Our dear friend and Icon Jeff Everson just passed away. Jeff was a real innovator in everything from the body building sciences, to nutrition, to publishing and former husband of 7X Ms Olympia Cory Everson-Donia... Jeff was brilliant, innovative, creative and a true force in the field who touched many lives. He was my good friend, colleague and body building fitness brother and will be greatly missed by all. My dear friend Cory let me know this morning. Her and Jeff and their families remained so close."
-
RIP, met Jeff at Golds Gym in Sunrise FL. Bright guy, also enjoyed all his writings and mag he published.
-
That’s very weird,I was just last night thinking about his magazine he had years ago.And reading how he bench pressed 600lbs on his 40th birthday.
RIP

He had his own show on tv years ago when fitness shows were on TV enjoyed it seemed like a very laid back guy sad indeed still young to go so soon

He was 68. They just found him passed in the house, no signs of foul play or similar. I'm guessing a heart attack. He was a good writer, especially for that time.
RIP.
-
Another congenital heart problem? lol Or maybe it was all the MetRx he consumed.
Anyone remember those original MetRx ads? Genius, but very deceptive marketing. "If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it must be a duck" He was basically saying MetRx was comparable to taking steroids... which was fucking absurd.
-
Damn, I used to enjoy reading his articles back in the day.
RIP
-
He was one of the smartest people in the game. He also competed as a high level in Olympic lifting, Power lifting, field events in Track and to a lessor level bodybuilding. He wrote when the saw Mentzer and big Lou struggle with 300lbs in the push press on the show the Super Stars he went to his gym the same day and push pressed a barbell 10 times with 300lbs. He always was the voice of reason with training protocols.
-
Nooooooooooooooooooo!!! One of my favorite bodybuilding writers in the day. Probably was the main reason Cory was Ms. O as he got her into bodybuilding plus trained and prepped her for competition. RIP
-
Too bad, seemed like a good guy. RIP.

Didn't they live next door to each other after the divorce?

Wow amazing Corina aged big time :(
He was extremely smart, I always thought smart guys live to ripe old age... RIP big guy...
One time routinely seeding Missus Olympia was surely heaven on earth...

I think she looks pretty good for her age. She was hot (pre contest) back in the day and her sister was even hotter. I watched her show on ESPN when I was a teenager. :P
-
RIP. He was dead a couple of days when found - yikes!
Sources connected to Jeff told us ... he was found in his bed Monday at his Los Angeles home when his roommate (a former fiancee) returned from a work trip.
We're told it appears Everson may have passed away a few days before his body was discovered. There are no signs of foul play. Officials do not believe Jeff took his own life. We're told investigators believe he died of natural causes.

Shit...Phillips actually said HMB was like being on Deca. Guy was not one to be out done by Dr. Connelly.

That's a big bench! How heavy was he at the time? Can that be legit?

I think she looks amazing for her age.
I never understood why they stayed divorced? They have always spoken very highly of each other, and have stayed very close until his passing. Wonder what it was that they couldn't work it out to remain a couple? None of my business, but it's something I've always wondered when reading his articles or her interviews where they spoke of one another.
RIP, LIP, WIP, and EIP. 8)
-

He was 6' 3" and around 275 I guess, I'm sure he could bench 580 which still is very impressive for such a tall fella.

One of my lectures in med school was from a visiting cardiologist.
Will never forget him talking about weight lifting and it's effects on the heart, valves, coronaries.
Basically, strenuous weight lifting over a long period of time leads to premature ageing of the cardio-vascular system. Not to mention the concomitant use of steroids, massively high calorie intake, and of course anabolic steroids in large doses. There are no 'natural causes' of death when in your 60's.

FROM THE DESK OF FALLSVIEW:
Jeff was one of the best. He was 65 years young. Known and joked at being called the Great UnCut. It wasn't until he started MetRX that he truely got ripped.
STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I take it a bunch of getbiggers got on TMZ and wrote all of the responses..
-
was he saved ?
-
My problem with Jeff is he talked a lot of smack about Weider after he happily collected a large paycheck from the guy for years and years.
Also, he got to use the guy's magazines to push his wife and anything the two of them were shamelessly pushing at the time.
He supposedly cheated on her, but she never really got specific about what happened.
Cory Everson was born Corrina Kneuer. After divorcing Everson, she married a dentist named Steve Donia.
Jeff got really fat in the years after his powerlifting interests. He hooked up with Scott Connelly, supposedly the medical doctor who invented Met-Rx, and helped him push the product back in its infancy. Even Bill Philips was involved back then before he separated himself to start EAS.
He claimed he was going to use Met-Rx exclusively to get back in shape to try and win the Masters Universe. I'm sure steroids had more to do with his transformation than Met-Rx.
Anyway, using steroids and being as heavy and out of shape as he was for all those years (most of his thirties), did its damage.
-
I prank called him for a few years and terrorized him in a comedic way. I think he enjoyed it to some degree as I would make him laugh. Sorry that he died!

I'd like to think you're joking, but it's you so.... ???
If you did, what was your reasoning behind that, and share some of your comedic terror?
-
So I take it a bunch of getbiggers got on TMZ and wrote all of the responses..
I think even most of the "all drugs" guys on here...at least in our age group and above, have enough knowledge of his writing and what he did for the sport by sharing his knowledge, and also developing and sharing Cory with us.
As far as whoever said he used Joe.....money flowed both ways, and Cory sold more mags than any female bodybuilder in history I'd bet. I don't think Joe went to his grave unappreciative of what Jeff did for his publications and the Ms. O competition....let's face it, it was all downhill after her reign was over. I'm sure Jeff felt the same way about Joe as he got older and time passed on.
I wish I had a VCR still....I'd bust out my weider champion cassettes with him and Matz! 8)
-
People on here feeling bad about the Weiders being used - when the list of people they used is longer than Pellius' homeless hamburger man thread. ::)
-
Rather have a quarter pounder
Make it a double quarter pounder
-
I remember reading his articles and interviews on Musclemag in the early 90’: useful and direct information (not many “weider’s principles” useless for natty teenagers).
I had to travel to the biggest nearby town (20 km) on a bike to get a copy of those magazines…no internet/insta/fb at that time.

RIP Mr Jeff Everson.....I had carpal tunnel in my right arm from beating off to Cory's pics :P :P :P

RIP Jeff

I thought you might have been RIP'n? :(
Good to see you post Booty. Please start again to end this total sausage fest this site has become :( Round up CQ, Dinah, Adela as well please ;)
BTW, I have never seen "the" pic. Please feel free to pm me :-*
-
Very sad.
Was a big part of my early weight-training years. He was always featured in the muscle magazines and was like the king to Cory’s queen. You know, back when the Ms. Olympia was actually something.
Jeff was all things resistance training. Bit from all the disciplines.
Never met him, but I did Cory. She was as pleasant, beautiful and composed as you’d imagine.
RIP to Mr. Everson.

Especially considering her age (56).

A few articles are saying he was complaining of pain in his leg in the days before he was found. Maybe a case of Deep Vein Thrombosis. You don't think of it right away, but I've known a fair number of active people that have had trouble with it over the years.

Everyone who endorses BBing supplements was/is on drugs.
MetRx was nothing more than a protein drink... totally hyped and the claims were absurd. The marketing was genius though. It was one of the first powdered health supplements to use an agglomeration process, combining ingredients and gums of different particle size and specific gravity so they would not separate. Everyone involved made millions.
The roid abuse killed Everson, not his bodyweight.

He was 68 when he died which is not young. Guys that large don't usually live very long regardless of whether they use steroids or not. MetRx was genius marketing and made them mega millions. The only supplements that ever lived up to the hype were later taken off the market or drastically changed like Ultimate Orange.

True, in general big dogs don't live long. Regarding Ultimate Orange many highly suspected it had powdered testosterone in it originally. I never used it but heard of many saying they made incredible gains with the original formula.

I heard it was meth which I believe because when I took it I thought I might snap psychologically.

My sympathy to his family and friends. At 68, he was still a young man. Gone too soon.

First couple of batches of Hot Stuff had testosterone in it.

I don't really consider Met-Rx to be a supplement...it's food, just like any protein powder IMO.
I doubt anyone would agree with me on the following, as it never really "took off" like creatine, hmb, eca stacks, and aakg....,but for I feel like V2G was one of the best products ever put out around that time. I love, and swear by vanadyl sulfate! Great pumps start in a few days, and if you're 12% bf and below vascularity is improved as well. Not something you take 7/52/365 though.
Sport Pharma's was great (didn't JE have something to do with them too?), but Ultimate Nutrition's is really good as well and about 1/2 the price.

RIP to Jeff Everson, who passed away at age 68
Met Jeff a long time ago, and even went to visit him at his house in Woodland Hills, up on Topanga Canyon, when they were filming various tv events. The place was awesome and big, and even had various exotic animals and birds in the backyard. This was after he divorced from Cory.
Jeff Everson was at one time married to Cory Everson.
He contributed so much to society.
-

I took Hot Stuff too. It was one of the few supplements that actually tasted good.

Another congenital heart problem? lol Or maybe it was all the MetRx he consumed.
Anyone remember those original MetRx ads? Genius, but very deceptive marketing. "If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it must be a duck" He was basically saying MetRx was comparable to taking steroids... which was fucking absurd.
Agree...So much deception and dishonesty in the bodybuilding game...

Bunch of star-fucker assholes that have never lifted a weight in life throwing in their 2 cents. FUCK THEM ALL! >:(
Dude did more, accomplished more, and meant more to more people than any of these asshats ever will!
In Life You can take the field and live life to its fullest and maybe die a little younger, or you can pace yourself in the stands watching and get a few more seasons.
Ask anyone who ever accomplished anything in life, whether its bodybuilding, success in sport or business. They would never sit in the stands watching.
RIP Jeff

That's exactly my point in my sentences under all those lame celebrity follower's comments Honest. There's people like that who wish they could, and there's those that think they can, and do. Jeff did! In my opinion 68 is old, and I don't see much point in life beyond 75. To me, his was a life lived to the fullest! 8)
All of us have/will have medical, and life circumstances beyond our control that will impede us somewhat, but ultimately the life you lead/led is the one you choose/chose.
I think we all need to remember that once in a while.....I know I certainly have, and do as I grow older.

RIP, met Jeff at Golds Gym in Sunrise FL. Bright guy, also enjoyed all his writings and mag he published.
His mag was Muscle Media ?.

No Iron...MM was Bill Phillips' and TC was the original EIC I believe. Jeff started another magazine around that time as MM2K evolved into a pile of shit that did not much more than push EAS, and Body 4 Life before it died.
I don't remember the name of Jeff's mag, but I managed & co-managed several nutrition store locations, and got to read them all for free....it was a good mag, but he didn't have a brand behind it like Flex and M&F, MM2k, MD, and to some extent MuscleMag.
Fortress, it would be cool if you started a thread on the different big mags, and your view of how they worked, and why they dominated.

Have you ever thought that many people don’t care, to them, they did live a full life and wouldn’t consider what you say is “watching from the stands”
Success in many areas of life doesn’t necessarily shorten your life span compared to something like taking a whole bunch of drugs and competing in a thong or playing a contact sport like football
You can always have both

I remember that. It happened almost overnight. Phillips was already very rich, but wanted more money. Greedy fuck.

He was greedy Mr. A, and he also became very ego-driven. I think Everson and him were good, until Phillips and Connelly parted ways, and shortly after that fallout was around the time when Jeff started his own mag. It my opinion that was partly driven by Jeff not liking who Bill became, and what MM turned into while Bill tried to have a "who's dick is bigger" contest with Dr. Connelly via EAS vs. Met-Rx... and later Muscletech too.
For those that never figured it out in Dan Duchaine's columns in MM, and elsewhere....Phillips = "Butt Plug" ;)
That colostomy bag story Duchaine wrote is still one of the most epic articles ever published! ;D If anyone has that issue still, it would be awesome of u to scan and post it.

Im not certain I can add a whole lot beyond what’s kind of known among long-time participants in the scene.
What I can say is, Paul Gardiner used Bill Phillips’ “business model” as a blueprint for MuscleTech. One-hundred percent. He’d endlessly yap about the dude and wanting to make money in any way possible, ethics be damned.
To be so morally bankrupt is horrifying.
There are untold millions of people out there without a shred of decency or integrity.

Bombs Away -
I thought that was bad, but last week, I experienced something much, much worse. Maybe THE worst. But I’m getting ahead of myself. First, let me tell you about “bad.” Lars, who was obviously not from this country (with a name like that) or he was lying because he wanted people to think he wasn’t, was one of my training partners. Lars was trying to break the 500-lb barrier in the squat. I know, I know, 500 ain’t much. And Lars looked kind of pathetic with his supersuit, superunderpants, lifting belt that looked at least a yard wide, and his two miles of knee wraps. He had those lifting shoes that look like ice skates with the blades removed (which they were, in Lars’ case). It would’ve been cool if Lars were, like, 100 lbs and 4’8”. But he was my height and just over 200. Nonetheless, he always showed up with my other squat partner, and we all squatted about the same weight, so we didn’t have to break the bar down too much after each set.
But lately, Lars was becoming insufferable. His newest technique for reaching the 500 mark was eating 2 pints of Haagen ice cream each day. It was usually some butternut something or other, whichever one of the flavors had over 1,000 calories in a pint. His powerlifting buddies told him he had to eat his way up to 500 lbs and that ice cream was the most calorie dense food. I had suggested that he should just eat lard, but he told me all the greats ate Haagen Dazs. Nobody ate lard. Besides, he thought Haagen Dazs was imported from his country. Lars was pathetic enough already, so we didn’t tell him the Haagen Dazs name was made up by some guy in Brooklyn.
The problem was that Lars was bigtime lactose intolerant, which means his body couldn’t digest all the milk sugar in the ice cream. So it was shipped downstream to the fart factory in the large, nasty colon. And with two pints a day, the fart factory was working overtime churning out both a quality and quantity product. Maybe Lars watched off-road motorcycle racing and found out that the winning bikes all had big air shocks on them. He rationalized that all that gas trapped in his gut behind his lifting belt would spring him out of the hole.
Of course, the flaw in his logic is that human beings do have a pop-off valve called an asshole, which would kick in on Lars right at the bottom of his squat when he was trying to bounce out of the hole. And he went damn deep in the hole. And like clockwork, every rep had this “Braaaaatttt” sound like ripping cloth, very wet, wet cloth, by the way. Braaaattt. “Was that a fart, Lars, or did you just shit yourself?” Braaaatttt. “Why do I know your girlfriend is not into oral sex with you, Lars?”
I should point out that we only heard the “Braaaattt” sound during warm-ups when the supersuit wasn’t on. The suit was one size too small, and we needed a crowbar to get Lars into it. When he was really strapped in tight, he turned from a tuba into a trumpet: his flatulence was at least three octaves higher. Mariah Carey would be envious. Now here is when it gets weird, and I’ve yet to find an explanation for this. Lars was a “supersonic farter.” This means that his farts were faster than sound. Meaning first, we’d smell this awful, rank smell. And a millisecond later, the “Braaattt” (or, with the suit on, “Breeettt”) hit us.
-
We didn’t call Lars, Lars. We called him Two-Blue. He got this name because one day we set his supersuit on fire while he was still in it. We had this swift idea from my old college dorm days of trying to ignite Lars’ gas with a Zippo lighter. Unlike a Bic lighter, which doesn’t stay on, a Zippo stays on, and it’s nice and heavy, so it stays upright on the floor. So one day, we set the Zippo on the floor under Lars’ ass. During the first two reps, nothing happened, but at rep number three, we achieved liftoff. We expected a nice, big, blue flame. But we didn't expect two of them. At once. It must of been some interaction between the superunderpants and the supersuit diverting the methane into two distinct jet streams.
Too bad Too Blue didn't have 500 on the bar - he really did explode out of the hole. At the top of the rep, he told us: “I must have pulled a muscle because my ass feels like it’s on FIRE.” Of course, it was. So, we had a problem. Lars was on fire. We’re laughing our asses off. No water bottle. But I did have this jug of nasty goopy stuff made up of water, MCT oil, Crystal Light, baking soda, and protein powder. So I unscrewed the top and splashed it on Lars’ burning ass. It was bad.
The terrible thing about bodybuilding is that everybody has a fart story. Soy-protein fart stories. Milk-protein fart stories. Egg, oh yes, especially egg fart stories. Let me tell you why I know that homeopathy is a real science. Homeopathy is supposed to work like this: you take this substance, and you remove all the active molecules from it, and what you have left is a resonance, like a kind of shadow of the original substance which imparts the same effect. So, homeopathic testosterone is water that has a resonance of testosterone. Now, take an egg white. You take your whole egg, crack it open, remove the yolk. Throw the yoke away. Now what you have left is the egg white, which you eat. But your egg white has a homeopathic egg-yolk resonance still in it. Which is why when you rip off an egg-white fart, you smell the eggy-sulfur stench even though you didn’t eat that yolk. Amazing, ain’t it? Sometimes you can’t quite believe it’s yours. This is something to think about the next time you stand beside a 300lb off-season bodybuilder, and he’s bragging that he eats 10,000 calories a day.
Okay, before I tell you about the worst, I gotta tell you the middle one, which was worse than just bad. This happened about ten years ago, during one summer in Venice when a bunch of amateur bodybuilders were all dieting for their various contests. And for some weird reason, most of the supermarkets were selling this fresh white fish called orange roughy, with seemingly no fat in it (more on this later), very cheap, less than two dollars a pound. Chicken and turkey were both double in price.
My friend Gail ate at least two pounds of orange roughy a day, along with rice and lettuce. She kept trying to tell me that there was something weird about her diet, but for some reason, I wasn’t listening closely, but we (notice the plural) were about to find out how weird.
Near the back door at Gold’s in Venice was THE mirror. Every gym has one. The mirror that had the tiniest bit of flattering distortion, and the natural light hit the spot just so, so all the precontest bodybuilders would show off in front of it. And of course, all the gym members would gather around behind the posing bodybuilder, looking in the mirror, too. So one day, Gail was there at the mirror. Gail was a lousy bodybuilder—narrow shoulders, wide hips, never-could-get-cut legs. But she had outstanding abs. Killer abs. The perfect six-pack. You could place a quarter in her abs, and she could hold it there above her navel in that vertical cut. Gail would always throw one ab pose in at the end of a workout, which always ended with ab work, to show off and impress all the newbies in the gym. Right hand behind her head, left hand hiking her T-shirt up to below her tits. Gym shorts rolled below the navel. Left leg out, off to the side. Crunched down hard. The classic ab shot.
If, when she crunched the ab shot, all you heard was the fart sound, I would’ve never remembered it. If it were only that fishy smell when she broke wind, I wouldn’t have remembered it. No, it was worse. A small crowd was gathered around, and she crunched the ab shot. As farts go, it wasn’t terribly loud. And as fart smells go, it wasn’t terribly rank, but usually only my two cats could generate that kind of fishy fart. No, what made this fart memorable was the totally unexpected small stream of undigested orange roughy fish oil dripping down the back of her right leg from under her pant leg. I came to the rescue. Some bystander yelled, “Yo, your steroid shot is leaking.” If only... “Gail, take my sweatshirt.” “I’m not cold,” she said. And I whispered into her ear: “Gail, you just blew a wet fart down the back of your leg. Wipe it up, tie the sweatshirt around your waist, and walk away. I’ll stand behind you.” And we did. As we walked away, she said, “I told you something was weird. At least I wasn’t in bed this time.” Gail stayed away from the mirror for a while. And switched to chicken.

My bodybuilder friend Eric got shot a few weeks ago in the stomach. We’re talking about a bullet, not a syringe. The whole bit: ambulance, hospital, numerous surgeries. For the next few months, he has to wear a colostomy bag. What this is, if you don’t know, is when they make a detour away from your butthole, and all your crap dumps into a plastic bag, which in Eric’s case is hanging right in the center of his stomach. Every so often, he has to empty the bag, kind of like what they do with RV’s at a campsite. Can it get any worst than this? Oh, yes. Because, ever since he got shot, everything he eats gives him...gas. Except peanut brittle, which he is, by now, sick of. How he figured out that peanut brittle is gas neutral, I have no idea. Now remember, the gas can’t get out the usual back door. So it builds up in the bag. Which, remember, is right in front of his stomach. So as the hours go by, Eric looks like he’s getting pregnant. So he has to aspirate the bag. Deflate the bag. Or else. Can it get any worst than this? Again, oh, yes.
The beauty of a regular fart is that it escapes low and out the back. So by the time it reaches a nose, it has dissipated. Not so when 500 cc’s of trapped gas (the typical fart is only 50 cc’s in volume) is stored less than 2 feet from a nose, which is where Eric’s was. Eric’s options were limited. He could have worn a snorkel. But on that fatal day (I’m getting ahead of myself again), Eric remembered the match trick. Yes, you know it well—someone passes an unusually ripe one, someone lights a match, and somehow (I’m not quite sure of the physics involved) between the flame and the sulfur of the match, like magic, the bad smell is gone. This was Eric’s plan when he was sitting in his friend’s white-wall, white carpet, white-sofa living room. Need I go on? For some of you, yes, which is why I told you about Lars, as it was a premonition of the dreadful things to come. Luckily, I was not there when the shit grenade went off. But I have seen TV-newsreel footage of the Hindenburg, the hydrogen blimp that torched itself decades ago. Two-Blue had generated two large flames with only about one-fifth the explosive power of 500 cc’s of trapped methane gas.
Eric lit the match. He aspirated the bag. I’d like to describe the condition of the living room (which if it weren’t so stinky could have been called “splatter art”), but I don’t want to gross you all out. Lucky for me, I was in the adjoining hall at the time, so I didn’t get hit. Eric shouts, “Am I on fire?” “No,” says I, “but you are covered with caca.” It happened a week ago. And his eyebrows and eyelashes are beginning to grow back. So the next time you hear the term “killer fart,” you’ll know there is such a thing. I thought it couldn’t have been worse, but Eric had this to say: “Thank God I wasn’t eating peanut brittle. Otherwise there would’ve been...shrapnel; I could have put my own eye out.”

Was Duchaine's performance on this level monthly basis?
If so, he sure was a comedy genius, departed too soon...

He had good ones, he had bad ones. If we judge them against the time and other muscle mags, they were very good. If there is enough interest, I have a few more I can paste up.

First of all, to BB......thanks sooo much for finding and posting bro! 8) Still funny as hell, and I've probably read it a minimum of 15 times. Just a classic. ;D
Karasan,
This column was one of Dan's better ones, but yes.....he was comedic gold month after month! The thing about Dan was that he was the original "steroid guru". I always found it odd that he went to work for Bill after Bill got big via the "Anabolic Reference Guide", then the newsletter, and then with MM2k. It was strange to me that Dan, having his own fame, books, and almost a cult-like following; would go to work for a lower level guy when it came to steroids and "industry secrets". I think that Dan just liked writing, and needed an income when he got out of jail.
Like usual with me, you're getting more than you asked for, but the thing is that as Bill's ego got bigger, and as he transformed MM from a steroid/tell all about bb'ing exposing/sharing all the little secrets(something Dan loved!!) into MM2k which evolved into just an EAS ad.....TC left, and Dan was not shy about letting the readers know he wanted out too. Bill was making it clear he was "the man", and also added the "mystery Dr." who became the steroid guy. Dan likely felt used, unneeded, and belittled.....things that he would never stand by, and take on the chin.
With TC gone, Bill needed Dan more than ever, and Dan couldn't wait for his contract to be over. He started using his column as a promotion/teaser for his "Body Opus" book and newsletter, and starting turning in comedy articles like this one, and others that alluded to Bill being a closet case and/or could be just deemed as not much more than "fuck you" articles to Bill that he had no choice to publish. ;D IMO, Dan was like, "that's my shit for the month Bill......print it, or don't....I'll take my check now please" 8)
Dan was always incredibly informative, waaayyy ahead of his time, had a really warped sense of humor, and could paint a picture in the reader's head like no one I've ever read in weight lifting mags and books that I can ever remember. There was just no one even close to him, and likely never will be. Too bad Romano doesn't post on here, as they were buddies/ex-roommates....it'd be interesting to hear from him if my perception of how things with Dan and Bill played out are right, and also for him to add some stories.
Dave and John, if you read this, but don't post here.....PLEASE do a show about Dan, and another one about Jeff with some great stories about them, and some shenanigans about Duchaine. Do a show for each so they get their own rightful honors, and respect they're due!
Both Jeff and Dan are legends from their writings.....went about it very differently, but anyone over 40 that read mags in their coming up with regards to lifting likely was very impacted/influenced by them both.
I hope they're both training in the big gym in the sky, and exchanging old war stories from their time on Earth and in the gym.
BTW, wasn't it established long ago that "Gail" from the dripping fart part of that story was Denise Rutkowski? I think he described her physique different than what it was to throw people off, as they were friends and he didn't want to embarrass her during the pre-interweb days.

Oh heck yes!!! Please do BB! Maybe do a different thread though so we're not taking away from Jeff's passing?
I tried to tie Jeff into my last response regarding Dan so that it still pertained to his passing. Dude had a big impact on me early on with my lifting, eating, and supps, so I don't want to disrespect him in passing.

Thanks for sharing this hillarious article, I would appretiate if you keep sharing these gems in a seperate subject, it is good to reminiscence legends that made those mags blast to read.

Jeff was complaining about leg and foot pain. DVT maybe? (Deep Vein Thrombosis)?
Clots can break off and go to the heart and kill a person. Ron, hear of a confirmed cause of death yet?

That would be sadly ironic, considering he was at Cory’s side for weeks in the early 80s when she was hospitalized for clots in her leg.
