With all the shit Gaspari was on, would have thought he'd be able to handle something a little heavier than what appears to be 90 pound dumbells.&mode=related&search=
I have to disagree with you there. Drop sets are easy especially when you have help and he really didn't do all that many.shut the fuck up,and stop being stupid the man was strong as hell,
Whats up with fans that look to see how much dumbells or barbells are in a pic while having no idea what set the bodybuilder is on? So now bodybuilders gotta worry everytime they pick up a light barbell. Its not like their job isn't thankless enough being part of the IFBB and being broke.well said ..
Yes but Gaspari would have you believe that he worked his shoulders non stop for one hour with one thousand reps and 300 pounds without resting. That video is proof that there is nothing special about him at all.
He's just an arsehole who likes looking at himself in the mirror.

Someone told me one time they saw Gasapari carrying his groceries into his house, and he was only carrying two sacks at a time! He made five trips. He was an IFBB pro, he shold been able to carry all ten at once, with all the gear he was on! He is not as hardcore as he said. LOL.I would have had your bitch ass bring in my groceries...
well said ..Agreed. Its about working smarter not harder.
or i would have carried the car to the door and dump the bags out ;D

He's doing drop sets starting with 90's...that's strong!
And probably resting a minute in between the next series, not 3 or 4 minutes like these guys today.
monster stupid post.
Can you believe there are actual people watching and judging this guy bringing in his groceries? Unbelievable. How many peices of dog shit does he pick up at a time? Does he mow one blade or two blades of grass at a time?

I've seen pretty well all the pros train on video or DVD and Gaspari was as intense as any of them. Maybe not as hardcore as he claimed to be, but he was intense and the footage above was pretty intense. As for strength, maybe delt strength wasn't his thing. I think he boasted about having strong quads, I don't remember him ever saying his delts were so strong. Also, regarding the stuff Rich was on, I heard he was on test year round? How about GH and insulin? Was that even big in the eighties?
Monster inability to recognize awesome sarcasm when he sees it.
Not to change the subject, but this reminds me of that earlier thread about puking and injuries. People saying that if you didn't puke ever, you weren't working out with enough intensity, etc...
Thinking about it, imo, you only puke if you seriously ramp up the intensity on a single workout event. So if you normally do 6 sets 20x18x16x14x12x10 starting at 100lbs and going up to 200lbs (arbitrary #'s for arbitrary exercise), and one day decide to do 12 sets starting at 100lbs and going to 250lbs...you'll puke.
You puke because you got to the point where you are actually working intensely. Prior to that event, you haven't been pushing yourself enough -- this is evident in the fact that you were able to do the extra work this time, but have not until this event.
Basically, I'm saying all you jerko's who say you have to puke to prove you're working out intensely are numbnuts who never worked out intensely to begin with. ::)
If you wait a sufficient amount of time between your last meal and your workout you also won't be able to puke. Is timing your meals and workouts with some degree of intelligence really so difficult? Anyone who seems to believe that puking is necessary is just a meathead through and through. As for injuries - it should be obvious when you're pushing things too far, and you should never need to get injured - not EVER. Not even to become a pro or develop a world class physique. It is simply unnecessary no matter how you cut it.
Not to derail the thread, but like Adam said, even the nutritional guidelines we read about (eat six meals a day, X amount of protein, etc) are overplayed as well. I spoke with a juicer today who went up to a cut weight of 235 at 5'10 and had a horrible diet. People like me on the other hand, do need to eat multiple meals throughout the day to gain size. Another thing we can't forget is how individualized bodybuilding is - whatever Gaspari did obviously worked for him, and I still maintain he was an intense trainer, although maybe not to the degree he said he was.
shut the f**k up,and stop being stupid the man was strong as hell,
when you reach the size and power and status he had then open your mouth.
Major, MAJOR meltdown;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;Dgotcha
And probably resting a minute in between the next series, not 3 or 4 minutes like these guys today.anyone can rest a minute between sets when you're pressing db's well under a hundred pounds.
If it was intense then he'd be lying on the floor puking and not admiring himself in the mirror.
That is one of the easiest workouts I've ever seen.
