Title: Palumboism is a MYTH!
Post by: brianX on June 14, 2006, 09:14:21 PM
Why is it that everyone cries "Palumboism" whenever a bodybuilder starts growing a big waist? It's called AGING. That's what happens to people when they get older. After a certain age, your waistline starts to grow and your arms and legs shrink in size. "Palumboism" has nothing to do with it.

The average pro bodybuilder is much older than the pros of yesteryear. Bodybuilders like Lee Haney and Samir Bannout knew when to stop competing. I recently saw photos of Samir in his later years, and he exhibited many of the classic symptoms of Palumboism (thick waist, smaller arms, etc). Lou Ferrigno also developed a thick waist. The problem is that guys like King Kamali and Dave Palumbo are still competing well past their prime years. Drugs have jack shit to do with it.

I have read Shahriar is 34. In in case, it s not palumboism,
but kamalism, as the symptoms also reach the brain.

His waist is thicker and his arms/legs have shrunk considerably.

Dude is 1200 years old.  You gotta consider they didn't make skin as well back in 800 B.C.

Aside from that, palumbo looks worlds older, and he is way younger.  What will palumbo look like at serge's age?  *gulp*

He's pretty old for a bodybuilder. Arnold was like 29 when he retired.
Title: Re: Palumboism is a myth!
Post by: Matt C on June 15, 2006, 12:07:59 AM
King is 34 and Serge is 67.

Anyway, BrianX is right, physique deterioration comes with age.  Not only in physique, but in the face as well.

Tom Cruise and Ronnie Coleman have both managed to extend their primes as it relates to their career.  That is genetic.

I'm merely using him as a case study to debunk the "Palumboism" theory.

Some people just age faster than others. Pro bodybuilders today are a lot older than the ones who competed back in the 1970's. You have guys turning pro in their early 30's. No wonder so many of them look like dogshit.

Kamali has trained more like a powerlifter and he is sort of like a mini one.  Built like one, and also very strong as far as bodybuilders go.

If he starts training like a bodybuilder he should hopefully be able to replicate his 2001 form.  But maybe those days are long gone.  I'm not sure.
Those days are long gone ? Look at this picture of him off-season.

I can't believe MuscleTech would want to sponsor this guy. There is nothing interesting or inspiring about his "physique". Why would you hire a bloated 300 lb to promote a bodybuilding supplement? It makes no sense.

Stop with the racial slurs, Kamali can be bashed in hundreds of ways that are way more classy than that.

The thick waist is one of the key attributes of Palumboism, but you forgot about the skull that resembles a gorilla.  Aging doesn't contribute to that.

He got mixed up, he thought to pull off the Victory pose you need to have tiny arms and a huge waist.  Then someone showed him a pic of Sergio and he saw that you actually need huge arms and a tiny waist.  Hopefully he won't make this mistake again. 8)

Could a thick waist be the result of ones colon getting filled up over the years ...and what about colon cleanse session,,,, do those work ..celebrities get them done.

I don't think when people refer to "Palumboism" it's because the waist is wide, but more because it's distended beyone hope.

Those guys weigh like 285 each.  Do you have any idea how much food they have to eat just to maintain their weight?  Several large meals a day, every day for years will give you some distention.  All truly massive bodybuilders have it.  The only exception I can think of is Victor Richards, though he's a genetic freak that is the exception that proves the rule.

Makes plenty of sense. Compared to the rest of the general population, Kamali's got a bodybuilding physique. Muscletech makes bodybuilding supplements. Case closed.
