most will turn to the 1 hour 13 minute mark to learn about the colt studios, Dakota years.  To learn about what money making opportunities {schemes} are available to the aspiring young bodybuilder, if he's willing to apply a little elbow grease {wink, wink, nudge, nudge say no more ].

Don’t have the energy to search that part out, but you’ve got to hand it to the guy the way I understand he handled that phase of his endeavors (compare to Drasin). He became a school teacher and coach for God’s sake and it seems like he was up front with his districts about all that to get it off the table. He had a big writing career, expert in his field from an exercise science standpoint. Did he end up wealthy, not sure? Not that wealth is the end all be all. But the guy seems comfortable in his skin.

Ages since I saw it but I think all of above. Sprague was totally the most “versatile” of the bunch. Bob Birdsong looked like “what the hell am I doing here?” Drasin did not make much of an impression, I guess because he was “blackmailed” by aliens into doing it, per his later oblique statements.

Ric's the guy getting his asshole eaten, so go from there.


"The scene starts with Dakota posing at a bodybuilding competition, then turns to Stacy doing the same. Chuck then is seen applauding Stacy, worshipping the bodybuilder, licking his ass, and jerking off. The scene ends with Dakota awarding Stacy a bodybuilding trophy."

Stacy was Ric's character.

Funk, you need to copy and paste, Roark's board is locked to non members.

Slightly different cut, apparently there are 2 versions - "California Supermen" , and "Loadstar".

Tidbits from vid -

Katz really does look like Frankenstein according to Sprague, he laughed hard thinking about how ugly Katz is.

Bill Grant has dementia, and is in bad shape, but still loves to lift.

John Lawson, nicknamed "Dr Strangelove", bought a house for Don Peters. The house would become a schmoe house, where the famous Sergio playing pool shots were photoed.

Sprague lost his friendship with super schmoe Paco Arce over 1979 Oscars tickets that were promised, but never delivered.

Implied Drasin fucked him well and proper.

Loved Chris Dickerson ;).  Dickerson and Jim Morris had schmoe lovers they lived with.

1976 Mr California had schmoe judges that Sprague had to watch hard to make sure they didn't help their lovers. Sounds like they were top 5 guys.

Got caught talking shit about Lou Ferrigno when Lou read his lips in a mirrors's reflection. Sprague thought he was safe cause Lou had his hearing aids out.No hard feeling between them.

Mentzer and Sprague didn't like each other, Mike was full of himself, hard trainer. Arthur Jones was an asshole alky. Viator was a nice guy, but rumored bigtime uppers addict.

Eddie Giuliani, big hustler, got his schmoe calls at Gold's.

Kal Szalak got beat by Waller for being an asshole to a regular member.

Pete Grymkowski goon handed Weider over unpaid article money. Dented the wall with Joe's head.

Sprague might not like Manion.

Tookie Williams, Crips founder, was Sprague's bodyguard. He'd later be executed while Arnold was governor.

Sprague was very friendly with famous Hollywood gay George Cukor for a time. Used that connection for the best.

Thought gay sex was just "acting".

Ken Waller was a huge part of Gold's being successful. He helped run it like a business, no freebies or comps anymore for the guys.

Bill Pettis, dumb, but a sweet guy. Gold's guys had to look after him like a child.

Arnold had a lot of control over Weider mags, if he didn't like you, he mother fuck you to Joe, and maybe scuttle your chance at an article.

Franco Columbu was happy, but a moron. Sprague would lean on the gym's Universal Machine's weight stack while Franco was warming up to make him worry that he was getting weaker.

Thought Arnold would never be a star, he was kinda ugly.

Tons of drugs at Gold's, just not many types. An open secret.

Dave Dupree was super smart.

Franco disliked Sprague and Waller because they tried to make him pay for a membership. Turns out Franco gave the old owners a few Nautilus machines for a lifetime membership, including the popular pull over. Sprague didn't know this, and let him stay, but they were never cool afterward.

Zane was a bit of a snooty asshole that wanted to be comp'ed.

Waller only gave Arnold a free membership as a gift for being the World's top bodybuilder.

Not as much sex at Gold's as you'd think, but it did happen.

Pumping Iron was a sore point with the whole Gold's lifting crew.

My chicky is so confused (before reading this thread - which is best avoided).

Her question: Why is there almost no bodybuilding on this site except for the three (no homo) threads of semi naked men that you examine?

My answer: Maybe let's look at the news on BBC love?

There are certain threads that do not get opened when she is at my place.

Best BB site ever.

&t=2970s   part 2

Summary -

1) Lisa Lyon. Ex dope fiend, would've been a regular fitness girl if not for her gift of self promo.

2) Treated Steve Neece like a goof.

3) Artie Zeller was a nervous nelly, but a good photog.

4) Wayne Demila - Lucky to be in NYC, and tight with Weider East Coast.

5) Stallone was a nice guy, Fixed, and tried to fix contests for Rudy Hermosa (sp?). Offered free promo. Columbu had Sly on a fish and salad diet. Tiny guy, unimpressive in person.

6) Grymko, nice guy. 6 hour marathon late night workouts. Lived with Conners early on.

7) Thought Pumping Iron would be garbage. It was a flop that didn't recoup its money for decades. Did well in the homo markets, NYC / SF. Helped Gold's grow very little. Butler was good at East Coast PR, getting it into mags, etc....

8) Clarence Bass did some of the paperwork during the split from the AAU,

9) Biggest growth of Gold's was caused by local LA Tv media, mid 70s.

10) Thought it should've stayed Mr America, not NPC whatever. Ben Weider forced the re-naming when trying to get into the Olympics. Sprague hates that shit.

11) Used to like to put Weider, Lurie, and MD's guys sitting next to each other to bust chops.

12) Helped install Manion as NPC face bacause he was good looking, and figured they could use him like a flunky.

13) Powerlifters were the deciding vote on Manion. They went with it because Gold's promised Zangus they sponser PL meets.

14) Manion got too powerful in the NPC after Sprague left, it's like a Manion fiefdom.

15) Had turmoil with Joe Gold over the Gold's Gym name, and Joe getting back into the gym business with World's Gym. Settled for $25,000 and World not taking gym photographs for 5 years. Figured Gold's new business would die off from lack of press.

16) Took the 77 Mr A away from Boyer Coe as promoter because Boyer ghosted Sprague.

17) York and Mike Katz tried to take over the NPC from Sprague/Manion, and almost did. Sprague fixed it by submitting fake Manion votes, allowing them to remain in charge.

18) Sprague sued Arnold for defamation when Arnold called Gold's an outhouse while promoting World Gym, and had previously planted bad stories about Gold's through Bobby Schriver (Arnold BiL / newspaper Writer).

19) Money was in am. bodybuilding promotion, not pro. Figures Arnold was scared he and Weider would x him out of some of the promoter scene, so that's why Arnold was so nasty to Gold's. Sprague salted the depositions with gay questions about Arnold, and a fake attraction for Sprague. Arnold stopped talking about Gold's after that, fearing he'd be painted as a homo.

20) Arnold and Franco were also still mad because Sprague's video editor included their bodybuilding posing in an early version of a Sprague produced gay porno.

21) Sprague hid the gay business from his wife.

22) Sprague helped design the Russian gym in Rocky 4. The equipment was from a water based line he owned a piece of, and promoted.

23) If you lived in California, and came to Gold's, you'd probably be ok later in life. If you moved there just for the gym, you'd probably grow up to be a bum, because you had no support system to fall back on.

24) Sprague feels his gay past screwed him out of his place in bodybuilding history, including amoungst his friends.

Summary -

1) Lisa Lyon. Ex dope fiend, would've been a regular fitness girl if not for her gift of self promo.

2) Treated Steve Neece like a goof.

3) Artie Zeller was a nervous nelly, but a good photog.

4) Wayne Demila - Lucky to be in NYC, and tight with Weider East Coast.

5) Stallone was a nice guy, Fixed, and tried to fix contests for Rudy Hermosa (sp?). Offered free promo. Columbu had Sly on a fish and salad diet. Tiny guy, unimpressive in person.

6) Grymko, nice guy. 6 hour marathon late night workouts. Lived with Conners early on.

7) Thought Pumping Iron would be garbage. It was a flop that didn't recoup its money for decades. Did well in the homo markets, NYC / SF. Helped Gold's grow very little. Butler was good at East Coast PR, getting it into mags, etc....

8) Clarence Bass did some of the paperwork during the split from the AAU,

9) Biggest growth of Gold's was caused by local LA Tv media, mid 70s.

10) Thought it should've stayed Mr America, not NPC whatever. Ben Weider forced the re-naming when trying to get into the Olympics. Sprague hates that shit.

11) Used to like to put Weider, Lurie, and MD's guys sitting next to each other to bust chops.

12) Helped install Manion as NPC face bacause he was good looking, and figured they could use him like a flunky.

13) Powerlifters were the deciding vote on Manion. They went with it because Gold's promised Zangus they sponser PL meets.

14) Manion got too powerful in the NPC after Sprague left, it's like a Manion fiefdom.

like a true Getbigger

22) Sprague helped design the Russian gym in Rocky 4. The equipment was from a water based line he owned a piece of, and promoted.

Cool! Did not know this

He is apparently completely amoral.
Likely a sociopath.
Appears to lack conscience about his actions unless they negatively effect his outcomes.

>

amoral /ā-môr′əl, ā-mŏr′-/
adjective

1) Not admitting of moral distinctions or judgments; neither moral nor immoral.

2) Lacking moral sensibility; not caring about right and wrong.

3) Being neither moral nor immoral.


>

A sociopath is a person who exhibits patterns of antisocial behavior, such as manipulation, deceit, and a lack of empathy for others. This term is often used interchangeably with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), which is a recognized mental health condition.

Don’t have the energy to search that part out, but you’ve got to hand it to the guy the way I understand he handled that phase of his endeavors (compare to Drasin). He became a school teacher and coach for God’s sake and it seems like he was up front with his districts about all that to get it off the table. He had a big writing career, expert in his field from an exercise science standpoint. Did he end up wealthy, not sure? Not that wealth is the end all be all. But the guy seems comfortable in his skin.


Not watched & will not watch the queer arse Fucking 🤮 stuff
Though it sounds as if not only is / was sprague happy in his own skin
He's also happy in Drasin's skin / Arse  🤮🤮🤮  🤬🤬🤬

Correct me if I am wrong but it was Drasin in Sprague’s skin but I don’t believe Drasin was subjected to that aspect. Inquiring minds are surfacing I guess (bodybuilding history research)

Nope.  Drasin was on bottom.
