Yep- proportions are everything. Here is a later pic of Pete vs a much shorter Danny P. Danny looks bigger, even at 5'2', lol

Pete said he took 10 grams of steroids a day. A whole bottle of Anavar with each meal.  :D

No one takes 10 grams a day.

For some reason I thought Padilla was dead. Good to see he’s still alive

I wondered the same about Grymkowski and found this.  Looking good at his brother Paul's funeral earlier this year.

Looked real good.....probably still in his teens or possibly twenty....couldn`t have been too much older than that.

I wonder what he weighed there vs 1980. He looks just as big there although the video quality isn't great.

Casey looked his best at 19!

Casey was a pervert. I remember a musclemag interview with him, said he got horny posing at contests  ??? :D

Yeah he did look his best at 19, I can agree with that. Mentzer also somehow looked maybe even more jacked in that video than much later on. I think his diet was probably awful later on, very low calories and low on protein. Combined with amphetamines and little sleep that isn't great for retaining/gaining muscle.

Casey looked like a really fat permabulker at old age  :D

Mike would have been 19 at the contest.

Well, that doesn't mean he was a pervert. In those days we thought our physiques would impress women.

Grymko don't lie.

If he says he did it...believe it.

Casey was a naturally fat person.

He looked awful late in his life.

I know this is going to sound weird, but ... Does anyone know why he was nicknamed "The Sugar Bear"?  I think it came from Rick Wayne some time back in the 80s (?) but for the life of me i don't know why.

Nonetheless, every single time I see a Casey Viator pic, the first thing that pops into my mind is "The Sugar Bear"

Wasn't there another Grzymkowski brother in addition to Paul?

I remember him in the gym.  Maybe he was a cousin but I'm pretty sure hearing he was Pete's brother too.

He looked amazing at 19. I think his best was the 1982 Olympia. He was the most cut in his career. One guy who wrote for Ironman said he was in the gym with Casey and said he used about 15 sets a body part. Even Mentzer mentioned he went to volume.

Looking at him at 19 all I can think of is that the original Dianabol and Anadrol 50 were amazing drugs. No, I don't have a clue what he took except for rumors.

I was in communication with Casey before he died. He told me his blood work came back perfect and he has great insurance.  Sadly he looked heavy and bloated near the end of his life. Soon he was dead.  Never know, I could be dead tomorrow too.

He will go down as a legend in bodybuilding.

1982, that was 11 years after he won Mr. America in 71!  It was an odd and transitional time in bodybuilding

Makes no difference- I saw Danny and Pete guest pose side by side at a bodybuilding show in Rochester NY years ago. Danny beat him hands down in every pose.

Padilla was a miniaturized version of Arnold.  Grymkowski was just a big turd.
