Title: Dave Palumbo - a SHUT IN? Never leaves the house anymore?
Post by: Fallsview on March 04, 2023, 08:03:22 AM
Anyone else notice that Dave Palumbo doesn't leave his house? He used to go to contests until he got kicked out. Then he did interviews outside on the grounds of the contest. Now he just sits in his little room with his gaming chair and dumb photos behind him.

So this is what we know of Dave Palumbo:

Only goes to water parks with a full top covering his loose skin.
Only goes to McDonalds for his kids
Only covers bodybuilding from a tiny room while sitting on a gaming chair.
Is a tyrant and it usually bleeds out from time to time.
Seems to be on some type of stimulant because any microphone noise makes him go ballistic.
We're on a countdown when Dave Palumbo kicks Gregg Valintino off his show.

Maybe he is physically incapable of going out?  Doesn't he have walking issues?  Maybe he is mentally incapable of going out?  The "sport" has passed him by and he isn't the "insider" he used to be.  Maybe he is self conscious about the way he looks.  Shoe polish hair, chiclet teeth, clown shoes, etc..

Who knows.

No, but I have instead wondered what his typical day might look like around the proverbial "office" (even if that office just so happens to be his home). Little things, like what his daily meals look like and whether he still on occasion congregates by the water cooler with some of the bodybuilding giants of old, keep me up at night thinking.

U think guys like More Plates More Dates, Trigili or NIcks Strength and Power ever leave the house? That's the working industry in 2023. They barely ever see a human being or daylight year round, just their webcam and a monitor. The effects on the psychological health of a "lifestyle" like that haven't even been studied yet because it's a rather new phenomenon, it remains to be seen in a couple of years.

100 percent agree.

SID started doing some boxing stuff for Showtime. He does some stuff for the Knicks. He does the intros for the Olympia as well.

Knowing Dave I’m guessing no.

Dude is super professional, very knowledgeable in regards to all competitors, honestly Dave got very lucky discovering him.

The covid situation created a fair number shut ins. Some as they are more vulnerable due to their health status and others because they found they quite enjoyed that simpler way of living.

Probably a bit of both with Palumbo. He has a nice big home, young family, pets and hobbies. He can't have long left, why waste his weekends at BB shows?

Dave's afraid of his own shadow. He now needs heart surgery and says "I don't want to get sick before the surgery".
One surgery after another for him. Shoulders, feet, cancer, heart, etc...

Who would have ever known, that juicing for a decade or more, walking around with 125 pounds of fluid in your body, is unhealthy??

With surgeries, a family and a myriad of other projects, sometimes it is not easy to go 4 days to an event, especially if your immune system is low or just don't want to take a bigger change of getting sick.

I've took that into consideration. Its just like school during covid going remote. How'd that turn out?

Personally, I believe its laziness. Dave has become lazy but still see's profits.
I like his show with Chris Aceto but nothing real comes out of it...just critiques.
Jimmy the bull is just full blown retard
Jimmy Bravo, I have no clue why this guy is even on his show.
That cookie guy. Who is he and why do we care?

Notice how everyone has Dave's supplement line in back of them?

Dave Palumbo...making money while being lazy. Hey...he's pretty smart.

Word on the street is that he wanted to do live contest shows but his heart wasn't into it.

Heart failure can rob a person of energy, I would say Dave has to measure his day pretty well so as to not leave him exhausted. At least he's aware of his position and is actively doing what he can to try and pro long his life.

                                                                                ::)

Yeah because there aren't millions of antisocial gamers and computer nerds who sit alone in front of screens all day/night in their bedrooms and they haven't been doing so for years..
There aren't thousands of studies regarding psychological health and screen time..
I'm sure those guys you mentioned never leave their houses...

                                                                                ::)

What stupid shit are you gonna reply with? That you were only talking about bodybuilders who make youtube vids and that a monitor isn't the same as a screen?
At least they exercise, look after themselves, are making money from it and talk to people in their vids, unlike those antisocial Asian zombies who die from video game marathon sessions.

Their lifestyle isn't anywhere near as bad as what you're making it out to be and I highly doubt they wished they had an 8 to 5 job instead.

I don’t have any personal beefs with Jumbo Palumbo. Our interactions were always pleasant. (This was when he was GIGANTIC and LEAN. Like, 310.)

But speaking strictly about his physical health …

The cat was injecting and swallowing so many drugs and hormones it was frightening.

I’m amazed he’s still alive, to be honest.

Likely neither of them have friends either, nor can they work in a team or an institutionalized setting. Who knows what these clowns would be able to for work if it weren’t for the internet. Also, contrary to many followers belief, I think such people, including Leo are not wise or above average intelligence, and don’t and didn’t contribute a damn useful bit of information.

Perhaps you should follow Palumbo's "lead" but instead of being a shut-in try being a shut-up.

Putting weight back on seems like it can cause complications for a decent amount of them.

I don’t mind listening to him, though he is a lifelong shyster. He appears intelligent and I’m surprised he just didn’t finish his medical degree considering this. Something tells me he regrets not finishing it to dive head first into the disorder and culture called bodybuilding. You can even tell from his body language and condescending language that he might think the men he associates with are morons.

Paul Baker did the same after he was in a coma and decided not to compete anymore.  He did two hours stairmaster every day to get his weight down.  Still jacked though.  But not the 300lbs with abs like he was.  Does a lot of stretching as well.  Says he makes more now as a PT and influencer than he ever did as a pro.

Kai is another that hits the cardio and stretching every day in the gym.  Often before working out.

I`ve seen Dave at a million contests and was even in a contest with Dave once, and I`ve spoken to him briefly quite a few times, though we don`t really know each other.....he  was always cool.

I hope he`s doing good healthwise.

Likely he does now after his health deteriorated so much - through so much self abuse.
A little late starting with the health business , still better late than never- good for him.

I hope this health scare is unfounded and he will be alright.  Having said that...Wasn't he busted for selling distilled water as HGH? 
I heard something to that effect years ago.

I heard that during the commentary for the 93 Olympia, Jim Quinn stated that Flex Wheeler had a skinfold measurement done at Golds and it was 0.0%, the lowest ever tested at Golds.

What type of cardio? I think he said on one of his shows that to lose the muscle mass he just did hours on the bike.

When he first stopped bodybuilding he was road biking like miles on miles a day.

Forget how much he spent on a road bike couple thousands but was obsessed with it.

Paul Baker did the same after he was in a coma and decided not to compete anymore.  He did two hours stairmaster every day to get his weight down.  Still jacked though.  But not the 300lbs with abs like he was.  Does a lot of stretching as well.  Says he makes more now as a PT and influencer than he ever did as a pro.

Kai is another that hits the cardio and stretching every day in the gym.  Often before working out.

Kai is still walking around 260+, hasn’t competed in years, in his mid/late 40’s, not smart at all

Meanwhile dexter slimmed down almost immediately after retiring
