Looks healthy and in very good shape... Bhanks looks 20 years older than this guy.

The amount of food he was able to eat is what separate pro's from gym rats. Forget the drugs. And his bud Ronnie, 48 cans of tuna a day???

I remember the old school Met-RX. In fact, there's an ad for it in one of my old magazines I just put back on the shelf: MuscleMag International, issue 125, page 149. Lee Labrada was the guy endorsing it at the time, along with Cory Everson's ex-husband, Jeff, who was using it to help him win the Masters Nationals.
One was called "Met-Rx Plus (red top); the other was called "Met-Rx Base (black top)".

Was it that good? Better than MegaMass?

Muscle Milk was probably one of the best tasting proteins I used in the past. Likely has a lot of crap in it, only powder I use now is Isopure low carb.

Much better although MegaMass wasn't too bad.

Would be Top 3 at the Olympia these days. People goin' crazy for Andrew Jacked these days, this dude didn't look much worse like 15 yrs ago.

For most men, Tony Freeman's current condition (at age 58!) represents an actually ideal physique. Big but not too big, lean but not too lean, easy to maintain on minimal gear (possibly even TRT + Primo + a SARM or something), not a manlet, not grossly deformed and ruined by injuries, and very athletic-looking. I am impressed.

when you look back at these guys it really makes it obvious how standards have gone through the floor

And keep in mind that wasn't even a Top Top tier guy, more like a 8-10th place at the Olympia. :D

I have seen old ads where it was claimed that it was so "powerful" they couldn't mix it in the same containers, hence two.
It (Met-Rx) was voted the second best promotional advertising campaign in bodybuilding. Cybergenics was the first.
I believe that Met-Rx was the first company to start putting out the individual dose packets as well.

Met-rx is probably the best and most consistent product ever made
I used to get them for 50p each a few years ago buying online short dated stock
They are very expensive now
The meal replacement used to be used as a diet on its own, I remember John Citrone saying he used to have six a day and nothing else while prepping
You can mix them and leave them to set overnight, its like eating Angel delight

Ha ha.. Never saw that one (ad), but I did like the stuff. When prices went absurd, I just chose less expensive protein.

I trained with him a good bit when I lived in Atlanta. I was friends with Harold who was Ice Train in WCW (and I. M. Smooth) and he and Freeman was very good friends. I would catch them sometimes at Golds on Buford (the one Flair used to own). Very nice guy.

When I was into bodybuilding in college, I liked his physique because he was taller and aesthetically pleasing (no homo). When people talk about Chris Cormier being underrated I always think about Tony. He was the underrated one.

Looks great there freeman

Post-pec surgery Bhanky blows Freeman away and he's only 47.
-
Met him before, nice guy
Insane build
Didn’t train super heavy
I mean the foundation was built with heavy weights

Harold basically ran the show when we trained and it was 10-12 sets pyramiding up to 12-8 reps. Nothing crazy.

A lot of drop sets
Trained with him once a friend of mine was good friends with him when I met him.
What I Remember was
One armSide laterals with 15-20 lbs he was doing
Would be like keep one arm raised at 60 percent lateral position with the dumbbell and do laterals with the other then switch

Yeah and tended to favor machines at times. He truly had no idea of what workout he was doing before he got to the gym. He just went in and did whatever with whatever was free at the time. Someone on the machine he wanted to use? Go do something else.

Formulated by some surgeon doctor. There was even a pic, like a polaroid dipped in mud, couldn't see shit.
Years later TC Luoma said the only new and worthwhile thing about it was that it contained micellar casein. Much later Connelly sold some very expensive "protein fractions," no idea if they had any merit.
"Stocks limited"

I train like that. My wife trains with me and it makes her insane. She is so organized she schedules time to piss/shit. But she knows not to give me any lip cause on Mars that mouthy “woman” shit don’t fit.

Lee Labrada was one of the first to promote it, and said he had one of his best contest seasons due to it. He was up a few pounds and quality more muscle was claimed lol. It’s funny now Labrada has his own company and claims his formulas are the best ever made go figure.

Fart powder.
Complete nonsense.

It's possible some of the athletes took the supp very seriously. Milos said he did one prep eating Met-Rx almost exclusively. It was so advanced it was better than "food."
Drug companies do make RTDs designed to supply everything essential for medical use, could probably do a decent prep using those exclusively - for a time.
I didn't watch the original video but one dude says Tony's been on just 10mg test per day for years.

Him or Paul Dillett? I think Dillett’s physique was better overall
I’ve trained with another “taller” bber Quincy taylor over a decade ago, in person he was massive , not the best flowing physique , but he was close to 6’4 and just massive
Art atwood was another , just huge in person, not a pleasing physique at all , arms not impressive but huge upper body and legs

In the video he endorse very high reps.

Never got the credit he deserved - looked beyond impressive.

Honestly, for a man his stature and size of his physique, not impressive at all in the cock department
