now Brian has the biggest gut in bodybuilding,,,

Brian should watch out. Decades of compounds, the internal (pant-shitting) issues, the gut-bloat, the aging cro-mag melon,
The rapid resting heart-rate, the "100+ list" of ailments, the vapes, the desire to compete and have zero-fat at his age (50's coming.. Maybe),
The "Bailey Sanchez" risky behaviors, the 'wanting to fight everyone' (but not actually), the fighting online w/ people he doesn't know 24x7 (and stressing over it) (he said it bothered him that complete strangers doubted his service in the armed forces) and so on.

Seek help Brian (maybe a good shrink and some more compounds like Thorazine) de-stress your life, you just might make it!

Brian is the new "Tom Platz of Abs"!

Serious question:  did he ever look good… once upon a time… maybe way back when?  How old was he?  I never paid any attention to him but the few times I saw him online or in a video he seemed “cartoonish” and I mean that in a bad way.  He seemed out of touch with the reality of how he looked… posing, flexing, and competing as if he had a physique anyone wanted to see.  Could no friend or family give him a reality check?  I guess denial is a real thing.  :'(

I hope he is at peace.  I cannot imagine what his family or loved ones thought about how far gone he was. He was something beyond bigorexia or body dysmorphic disorder.  Bay no likey.

I recall reading that he was pretty strong and competed in lifting events in his younger years.

Here's a photo of a younger Lenny.

I have a pec issue I am addressing. I also have a shoulder issue I need to address probably needs a scope has a loose body in the joint bone spurs typical arthritis slap repair detached tendon etc. The knees could use some work as well maybe stem cells? I did fix a hernia already. I have no risky behaviors completely monogamous with the wife.  As far as the abs no perm issues when not bulking and not inflamed midsection is great. Unfortunately, I had an inflammation issue last contest. But I do not have some kind of perm growth. I have also not lost elasticity. There is no loose skin. My digestion is great right now which is probably why I am not super lean I am 226lbs this moment and I have not been pushing food or fluids. I also have been doing somewhat regular cardio. I may not be Lance Armstrong but I ride a couple times a week. Honestly I think I am in pretty good shape but I am 46 years old it takes work to maintain.

It's true - back in the day he was actually arrested (I dont think ever charged but will stand corrected) for just that. Remember it from the old fitmisc forums. They had 2 main threads on there - one anti Jason Blaha the other Jason Genova (and assosciated fruit loops)

He was certainly a complete fuckup of an adult but I truly believe he was a victim of severe physical and emotional abuse as a child so I’ll cut him some amount of slack. Jason Genova was no saint but Lenny was never a girl to him and tried to encourage him. Let everyone be judged by their entire character and deeds sort of thing.

If I was locked in a room with Lenny, Hunter Biden and Bhanks and given a gun with two bullets I’d shoot Bhanks twice.

yeah he was a homosexual kid and for that he was punished by his father. I think his father was resentfull at him his whole life for that. His father was a dickhead all around from the stories he told. He had a collection of spiderman and superman mags as a little teenage kid and his father one day found them in his room and said something like "get that fa*g*t shit out of here" and threw it all in the dump...

The guy was extremely twisted and sick.

Doesn’t matter one bit what his father did.

Lenny drank tranny piss and lived in a squalor difficult to even imagine.

Homosexuality is mental illness, as is, but even so, it doesn’t give an individual license to conduct himself in such a repugnant way.

No matter the urges, a person has a responsibility to decency to not cross a reasonable line.

I didn't watch him much at all but the vibe with him seemed pleasant. Clear eyed. But it's not the type of character I would leave alone with my kids. I can't accuse him of anything but the sex acts he was talking about were so "out there" so to speak. :D

You don't think you can train the abdomen to correct this? That annoying guy that has the video that makes the tiger sounds and sells some kind of supplement had an entertaining argument with Palumbo. Anyway he said he had the diastasis surgery. I was worried this may be starting post hernia repair and I thought if I started training abs this may correct.

I don't know if training abs can correct it if it's bad, I mean make it look good. Then you don't know if the mesh will distort the abs. My abs are torn from the pubic bone to the lower chest. I had a smal umbilical hernia repaired in 1997 and it just got worse from there, all my fault, heavy deadlifts with no belt since 1997-1998. When I do a situp the middle area bunches up about 2 inches at least, horrible look.  :-X

https://nypost.com/2024/10/12/sports/legendary-bodybuilder-lenny-persin-dead-at-60/ .

Just bringing this up to the top for a second, to post a hilarious part of the article -

(https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/10/www-instagram-com-therealbiglenny-hl-91486837.jpg?quality=75&strip=all).

"Big Lenny was well-known for his eccentric appearance, especially his protruding stomach, and his larger-than-life personality.

Due to a disease called palumboism, which is usually brought on by the usage of HGH and insulin and causes difficulty contracting the abdominal muscles, he did not have the conventional bodybuilding appearance.

Big Lenny participated in multiple bodybuilding competitions.

In the most recent one, the 2017 NPC Ruby Championship, he finished in second place.

His goal was to be the biggest guy on stage and he was passionate about the sport, Fitness Volt reports.

On a serious note, I thought Lenny was still in his 50s. That’s a big achievement making it to 60 with that kind of lifestyle. He outlived many professional wrestlers and bodybuilders

Hahaha!

They should have at least cited the original scientific research about palumboism:

Quote
What is Palumboism or Palumbism ?

Palumboism is a rare, complex disease only seen in the nether ranks of competitive bodybuilders.

The condition is first characterised by the sudden development of an enormous midsection whereby the entire width of the trunk, ribcage and pelvis grows disproportionately whilst the oblique muscles will thicken rapidly and the abdomen will become distended with the patient unable to hold in their stomach.



The condition is further characterised by chronic metamorphasies of the facial and cranial features, culminating in thick folds of dermal tissue round the mouth and thickening of the Levator labii. Mandibular and mental protuberance hypertrophy and overall cranial hyperplasia, accompanied by a dramatic increase in the size of the frontal ridge follows. Premature aging is also common with Palumboism



A particularly spectacular symptom used to confirm diagnosis are disproportionally small limbs on the otherwise gigantic upper body. This is first observed in the upper limbs, where the arms seem to remain in a catabolic shrinking state compared to the torso who's internal structures are growing out of control in all directions. The reasons for this are not yet understood. The quadraceps muscles of the legs also seem to be ever shrinking.

Overall a more neanderthal type structure develops:





In advanced Palumboism the outer dermis takes on a crackly brittle look, almost as if the patient has been glazed or varnished like a ceramic souvenier. The color of the skin will become uneven displaying varying hues and shades from grey to bright orange throughout the entire body, whilst the skin may appear weathered and abnormally aged.



There may also be a high level of vascular distension which never seems to go away in the patient, this will often result in veins having a 'worn out' apperance.

Perhaps the most unusual and distressing issue is that the patient seems totally unaware of what is happening to him.

Post mortem examination of patients sometimes reveals large quantities of a foreign oil-like substance in the biceps and anterior deltoid muscle heads.


What causes Palumboism ?

It is not fully known what causes the disease, although it is speculated that a genetic predisposition combined with an over reliance on high and never ending doses of various anabolic drugs accompanied by a gradual 'shut down' or mutation of the patient's own endiginous endocrine system possibly awakening dormant cro-magnonesque genes are causative factors.

Although Palumboism shares some symptoms with Acromegaly it should not be confused due to the additional conditions described above when making a diagnosis.


Treatments

There is no known cure for Palumboism, as long as the patient remains on his drug regimen there is little comfort and the condition will continue to deteriorate.

Promptly discontinuing drug use may halt further development of the condition although it cannot be fully reversed.





Palumboism in women

Although Palumboism can occur in the female sex it is extremely rare for the condition to reach the advanced stages witnessed in men, therefore accurate and prompt diagnosis becomes more difficult.

Whilst it should be noted that female Palumboism must not be directly confused with the seperate condition of virilization which is more commonly encountered, more cases of female Palumboism are being diagnosed and reported everyday.

You don't think you can train the abdomen to correct this? That annoying guy that has the video that makes the tiger sounds and sells some kind of supplement had an entertaining argument with Palumbo. Anyway he said he had the diastasis surgery. I was worried this may be starting post hernia repair and I thought if I started training abs this may correct.

why dont you start training yours then?

I think he was arrested for drugs. Don't know what the drug was.

Everyone kept telling him to get a scan of the gut, MRI or whatever they use for these cases. My instinct says it's related to the heart problems but I'm no doctor.. Water in the gut when heart or kidneys or liver fails. I have doubts about visceral fat, even if I feel sure he was type 2 diabetic. Certainly not organ growth from drugs, not to that extent.Bodybuilders might be against such scanning especially if the results are public but for sure would be interesting if all pros were tested why their gut is big, especially guys like Nick Walter. But he would never do it even if money was offered. Of course he probably has doctor contact but those are secret.

Just a note, Lenny was 54, the sixty thing is a Palumbo mistake. He was used as a source for a lot of Lenny info, and screwed it up.

Those were his teeth, even years ago he was fanatical about his teeth, and being personally clean. The apartment thing vs his personal being was a weird dichotomy.

.

I know the mugshot, so I won't ruin it. I will say, if you watch the bodycam footage, Lenny is a perfect arrestee. He lies, but then confesses, and never once gives them real trouble. Gentle as a lamb. They don't mention it, but he was probably cruising for hookers when he was stopped.

Lenny is  proof that irresponsible bodybuilding causes heart failure because what Lenny would do is when he landed in the hospital because he couldn't breathe and had 15% EF,, they would do IV diuretics, he would go off for a few months and his EF would go back up to 30. Then he'd slam the gear until it went down to 15% and he couldn't breathe. And he'd go to the hospital again to "get the water drained" as he called it, wait a couple months until EF recovered and the cycle repeats.

He had been in heart failure for many years. I posted this about him already in the hospital years ago.
https://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=678637.0

 With ALL other risk factors from weight, blood pressure, diabetes and sleep apnea its shocking he lived nearly 10 years in full congestive heart failure. And the only thing that seemed to let him recover his EF was going off gear when he was hospitalized.

Lenny is proof that heart failure secondary to anabolic steroid use can be reversible. EF can be restored as Lenny restored his for years simply by going off and doing diuretics until it was one cycle too many. Him living to nearly 60 in CHF for 10 years while living that lifestyle is encouraging for those who want to use hormones responsibly.

This young kid Jon Skywalker now is in heart failure. It's a BIG one to look for in bodybuilding that bloodwork wont catch.

I agree with you. Some people might add a "BNP" to their regular labs to help look for heart failure if they had a suspicion of it. It isn't typically added to most people's routine panel, but I suppose one could ask for it to be done (knowing that there might be false positive results).
