There's been a lot of ridiculous lies told by bodybuilders over the years. The first one that comes to mind is Vic Richards claiming he was eating "30,000 calories" a day of "greasy nigerian food". Jesus fucking christ he would have to be sitting on a toilet all day long constantly blowing grease out of his ass as he was eating for that to even be a remote possibility.

nah , he claimed clean, about 2lbs of uncooked weight of rice a day
I added up what he claimed to eat and it only came to 16k, a lot if true but not 30k

Flex definitely said "asian men". I'm pretty sure he even claimed that one the attackers had freakin nunchucks.

Yes. I remember the 30,000 number discussed in both Zulak's column in MMI, and in MM2k. The number would float around, I remember 30,000, 24,000, some in the mid teens, etc..... It became a joke for a while - "What's Richards' going to claim this month?".
-

Genuine LOL!

Not the biggest bullshitter, but Jay Cutlers way of adding obviously made up details to everything he says to make himself more interesting is starting to grate on me.

Every Flex Magazine “training tip” was a lie.

Dante Trudell the fat mess becoming a bodybuilding guru :P

Not the biggest since it was a lame trolling attempt : Pete Grymkowski's 10g of test per day cycle

I'm very glad someone else remembers that 30,000 number. Vic Richard's asshole must be even more blown out than hanky's.
I thought of another one: Gregg Valentino claiming he never used synthol.

This man’s triceps.

Remember when Max Charles claimed he can preacher curl 350 pounds and only ate rice and beans. ::)

:)
Spent a day / most of the night with Vic (no homo) he ate a (this was takeout because the gym owner had to buy all the food ) two chicken breasts with a couple cups of rice every 2 hours on the dot! (He was doing a seminar at a gym in Lynn Massachusetts) then going to the club where I bounced (the Palace in Saugus mass) I don't know how many calories it was ... but there were a shit ton of white styrofoam containers with the chicken and rice .... brought some to the club also ... ate on the clock every 2 hours....so he eats a lot of calories!

Still wonder why the Yakuza would attack Kenneth Wheeler
-
Still wonder why the Yakuza would attack Kenneth Wheeler
I'm pretty sure it was the Ninja Turtles that got him, due to him injecting mutagen synthol into his arms, delts, traps and calves. I base this conclusion off of the chosen weapons of the attackers: nunchucks, katanas, sais, and a wooden stick/bo.

That there CellTech

When he told the story to his freemason buddies, they replied, "Oh ffs Kenny, you don't have a leg to stand on"

Ray McNeils hair.
Anything Curly Top said.
Lee Priest saying Dillet and himself didn’t use much and once left a syringe of winstrol laying around for a week.
The nonstop “I gained XXX lbs of muscle” by the weirdo TC Luoma (sp?). It would add up to be about 200 lbs in 18 months. Yet he was size of a coat hanger. Also his “I might not be the biggest guy in the bar but I am the last one you want to mess with” claim that he would lead off his column/bio with. ::)
-
Bill Pearl only tried anabolics for a couple weeks, but stopped...
-
I'm only on TRT. Yes, taking enough testosterone for twenty eight men or taking enough test to get their count up to 900. They didn't have a count of 900 when they were 21.
-
Kamali comes to mind. Generally delusional and I saw some photos of what he eats now. Quite bad food and so bland.
-
There were top IFBB pro’s who were connected to Balco. FBI did investigations.
On Getbig, Milos directly asked Shawn Ray what he said exactly during his breakfast with the FBI agents
I can’t remember Shawn’s response, but it was probably up there with the Ninja Attack & 30,000 Calories

I've grown to like O'hearn's lies, he gives you a little truth with the lie mixed in. For instance he did have a very good competition Powerlifting total in the mid 1700's, and won some things. But it was in a smaller fed, in one of the big ones, he'd be maybe a top 100 guy back then.
Also, he bragged on having a Martial Arts Lifetime Achievement award, and that's true, but it isn't for fighting, it's for humanitarian work -

The humanitarian work? Stuff like this -
(https://i.postimg.cc/vTbdZRjr/hqdefault.jpg).
He visited those kids like once, and used the pics for a decade.
--------------------------------------
Another one I don't like from the Powerlifting world is that Bell invented the Slingshot? He only invented it because he patented it. The history of those things is more like this - Bench shirts were expensive $150-300, hard to get into, and prone to ripping. So guy's would take old ones and cut them down to get more use out of them. Guys like Chris Taylor cleaned up the design with his "Bench Strap", but he never gave them much though, it was just something he'd do for friends -
.
Bell came later.

Thx for the video, I tried to find that a while back, as a buddy didnt believe me about the Slingshot.
I remember seeing the video many years ago.
Bell is smart for trademark and patenting the thing, where Taylor "snoozed and losed"...
Bell is now a multi-millionaire from that darn thing..

I remember Vic making the 30,000 calories claim then walking it back to "only" 8-12K calories. Anyone else remember it that way?
Richards claimed that MMI writer, Greg Zulak, misquoted him. Richards cited himself as saying that's the most he'd ever eaten in a single day, not that was 30K was his typical daily caloric consumption.

Ronny C. won the Universe natty.
Arnold only used steroids a little.
Joe Weider about anything.
Define "a little". Today, people would claim the amount of anabolics Schwarzenegger used was a little. But, his predecessors (i.e. Vince Gironda, John Grimek, etc.) screamed that the Oak and his contemporaries were steroid abusers, taking a whole bunch of stuff.
As for Coleman, his contemporaries have backed his claims for decades. Guys like Levrone and Wheeler were amazed that Coleman wasn't using what they were, yet he was still hanging with them. Shawn Ray referred to the pre-Sandow Coleman as a "C-level" bodybuilder.
I've brought up this issue earlier on another thread. But, if pro cards were so hard to obtain in the late 80s/early 90s and drug tests are so easy to pass, why didn't more NPC journeymen tried to get to the Universe to turn pro?
I know that, from a media standpoint, winning the USA or the Nationals (or even the North American) got you more covers and more spots on shows like "American Muscle" than winning the IFBB Mr. Universe/World Amateur Championships did. But, if you'd been slogging in the NPCs for a while (i.e. Bob Chicherillo), why not simply "go off" for a while and try your hand at the U, especially when it came with an Olympia bid at the time?

Let’s also keep this in mind:
Victor Richards faked his own death
Also, Victor tried to down-play Ronnie’s greatness (Victor was a afraid to compete in the NPC and the IFBB. Never competed once in either organization. Meanwhile, Ronnie dominated the sport)
Victor Richards almost got his ass kicked by Mike Christian at Gold’s Gym. Then years later, Victor claimed that Mike Christian was afraid of him 😂

What a twat. Let me guess, Vic considers himself number 1, right? Did he list who he thought was better than Ronnie?
-

" To say Ronnie Coleman is the best bodybuilder is an insult , he doesn't even come in the top 12 "
This is coming from the guy who reportedly smashed his trophy and threw a fit, after he lost at an amateur show to Rich Gaspari?
His fear of losing to smaller bodybuilders in better shape and condition is why he never stepped on a pro stage, after winning the 92 Nigerian national title (which I never recalled before or since being a pro qualifying show).

Valentino said he was injecting a 10ml vile a day into his biceps. Reckons it was just the sheer amount of oil.
The usual oil clears out quickly so whatever he injected the oil was long lasting like synthol. he might have added longer lasting oil like synthol in his gear and shoved it in. Technically not synthol but the same effect.

surely simeon "express" panda is somewhere on the list...

Technically it's probably Ron Harris. He must have ghost written thousands of articles with added fluff to make them more interesting.

I don't think you could do this, didn't you need to win the Nationals first to qualify for a Universe Spot? To win the Nationals from non-USA country you'd need some kind of connection like Victor Richards claimed for Nigeria
