I don’t agree with everything Oldtimer says but he keeps this place interesting with his nemeses.

Now could be a good time to take advantage of the massive email that could be done to notify people.

Having traditional social media to further magnify the message here could make sense too if an increase in reach is wanted.

The Scott possibly got run off the board for some lies surrounding his lifts or posts. I want to say by the Phantom Spunker (who is also MIA) who had had enough of the Scotts ducking nonsense.

Splunker, I think, views Scott as pompous in his posting style. Also, politically, they got into a few back and forths over the Middle East, etc..... Splunk also didn't get why "Reeves" and Scott's posting styles are very similar ;).

His claimed leg routine is legendary.

At my strongest I did 250lbs leg ext. for a few reps but Scott claimed sets with 750lbs.
The squat sets weren't obviously trollingly heavy, e.g. 1000lbs squats, it was in excess of 500lbs, but it would still have made him the strongest squatter in history.
It wasn't quite pure trolling, at least I got the impression he really tried to sell this line of bull.

Some here said they have actually met the dude and you could tell he had been a big guy.

It's in BB's post. It was Scott posting under Reeves. There was little "wink wink" humor in Scott's posts which made it seem pathological, though I don't know if Scott was snickering to himself as he was writing it, I hope so :D
Title: Re: Who's still missing ??
Post by: Phantom Spunker on June 12, 2025, 05:27:38 AM
Thanks, gents. Nice to see you're all well. Regarding The Scott/Reeves, I'm not sure if his departure is related to me highlighting his incessant pathological lying, but I thought it was only fair to question him while he was playing the paragon of virtue, judging everyone, and wishing death on women and kids. For years, I could see what he was doing, but as BB touched on, he then started attempting to be antagonistic towards me while I was literally in bombed regions and friends were having their families wiped out, so fuck him.

Personally, I think he's a sad, mentally ill halfwit, but I'm a nobody, and I get that some people think well of him. It just seems highly disturbing to me to be sending people private messages, giving the Hallmark card treatment, and tricking them into forming relationships based on fantasies.

Anyway, he's more than welcome to pop in any time. I have no desire to police the forum or hound him forever about it. I'll just sign off with two more quotes that make me laugh. Surgery with no anesthesia and constantly resurrecting like Wolverine, LOL.

Oh...And for all the cucktard libs?  I know what is waiting for you and again, I never lie.  On my last trip to the other side I was dead for 06:39.  Brain damage starts at 4:00 or so I am told.  They were going to cover me and call it but since I had two previous times I died on the table, they waited.  And when for whatever reason my heart started beating again, faintly at first and then I started breathing and finally I came to they told me it was scary and strange.

Ummm...Nope.  My first head injury was via baseball bat to the left side of my head.  I was 4 and the person that hit me was 16.  It crushed my skull and my left eye was hanging out.

I never lost consciousness.  My mother took me to the hospital and surgery was performed with me awake.     You would have been instantly killed.  Most people would but for whatever reason I was not.  Apprently my memory is like my ability to express myself, i.e.,  far better than yours.

I remember he said he saw nothing when he was dead. Then later he was cryptically saying he saw things and had some occult knowledge of what awaits us all, warning us of something. He said he was a Christian but lost his faith but was still constantly talking about The Nazarene. Yeah he had a lot of hate towards groups of people, a Jewy worldview, I believe he is Jewish by ancestry, so I was always confused as to where he really stood faith wise. I don't hate him and I think he should come back if he wants to, he could be entertaining, most of us are fucked up mentally :D

Haha, there's fuck-all wrong with him physically. He's like Tucker from There's Something About Mary. He probably gets in from his 5-mile run, logs into Getbig and starts going on about not having much time left and his poor heart. He croaked from kidney failure over a decade ago; he's fucking died more times than Freddy Kreuger already. The cunt has Munchausen syndrome.

Yup, that's the one.  I was told the windows were walled up due to someone shooting them out.  We may have trained next to one another, who knows?  Waller was a pretty cool guy.  I bought a XXXL shirt from him and he told me with a big smile, "Good luck growing into it, kid!"  Franco was great too.  Robbie Robinson was pretty nice to be around and the Mentzers and Viator were from another planet.  Arnold was a planet and everything revolved around him, or so it seemed.   

These guys, well they were real people.  They had a camaraderie in and out of the gym that seems to be gone now.  There was schmoism going on back then but they called it"hustling".  A few did it and were quite honest about it.  Everyone cracked up at a made for T.V. move in the early 80s called "The Hustler of Muscle Beach".  The guys I talked with were also honest about steroids.

Joe Gold was a gentlemen and I really enjoyed the few times I spoke with him at his World Gym in later years.  I had a friend whose cousin was dating a stuntman and they would get us into Universal Studios for free.  I can't recall his name but he was a pretty good guy even though my buddy and I didn't have much interaction with him.

As for the other gym you mentioned, that might be the old "Dungeon" where greats like Draper first trained in the sixties.  I'm not certain as I never went there but it does sound like it.  Good times gone forever now, except in our minds.


Yup.  I bought one (or two, my mind is foggy... ;D) from Waller the first time I visited the original Gold's.  It was a XXXL size and Waller (with a big, good natured smile on his face)  said to me something along the lines of "Good luck filling that out, kid!". 

He made a good impression on an impressionable kid that day.  I hope to never forget moments like that.  I had that shirt until it was dust... ;D

Connections. He had them.
