Title: Think of a crappy IFBB pro and then...
Post by: LurkerNoMore on February 22, 2023, 09:58:10 AM
try to find a really decent picture of him.

I was going to try Dan Hill, but it just doesn't exist.  So I went with Erik "Teefy" Fankhouser.

Sort of looks decent here.

It’s a good pic. The “fresh” muscle look seems to disappear before bodybuilders have a chance to compete at the Olympia these days. Krizo and Andrew Jacked are the exception.

He looked decent in the beginning.  Then he started getting those rusty shins and the discoloration around his ankles. 

And lost his mind when people mentioned getting his teeth fixed saying no "because that is how God made me".

He is supposed to look decent.  In at least one shot.  But he went downhill rather quick.

Since you mentioned Walker, find a photo where he looks good (for once).

In the beginning.  Near the end, he still had the size but his shins were rusting and his ankles were discolored all blackish.  Makes one wonder if there was something else going on in there that affected his circulation.

Honestly, that is the best one I have seen.  I kept looking for a photo where he looked at least like he could win a local show.  But every one I saw of him on the stage he looked 12 weeks out.

He was at Gold's on Commercial when I moved here.  The businesses that he had going on were :

Personal training
Diet coach
Life coach
landscaping
massage
muscle worship
date/companion/escort
handyman
rug/carpet cleaning
painting
caregiver aide
chef
pet sitter
and taught sunrise yoga / pilates at 6am on the beach

He was run out of town for taking down payments on work that he never did.

You know times are hard when you're offering services as a pet sitter. Funnily enough: the kind of role where you'd need to be very trusted to even step foot on someone's property and have access to the grounds. I'd rather trust a neighbour's teenage kid than a grown ass adult to do that task. Who knows how fucked up their life is to be doing that.

For real.  He got the last laugh.  Wonder what he is doing now?  If he is even still alive.

I saw a Palumbo interview with him backstage at some event where he was coaching. He said he was back in Brooklyn. He didn’t seem as weird in the interview as his on stage antics or what I remember him being like in person.

In the end, Kenny won. Boy, that’s fantastic. How ‘bout that?
My first laugh of the day and I`m still on my first coffee!   :D
