Hey that's my old elementry school!
-
Heck of a nice guy. Met him tonight. I asked him to pose something BESIDES the thumbs-up pose and he gave me the strangest look. He was quite confused.
I suggested a "thumbs down". He tried but his hand would not angle in that direction.
I suggested a black power fist. His thumb instinctively went up.
We finally agreed that a No-Thumbs pose would do the trick!

More... he eats protein bars like candy. Nonstop. Every time you saw him, he was either eating them or taking 5 minute bathroom breaks. Very short too. I am 5 10 or 5 11, and he was easily 2-3 inches shorter when standing side by side. Hung out in the crowd all night, took a lot of pics of fans for his website.
The announced him at 260 pounds.

I would be seriously disappointed if I went to a show and he was the guest poser. In fact, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't go..

You know, I was.
Last year they have Vic Martinezm right when he was at the top of his "Next Mr O" hype. year before it was Darrem, who posed outside on a picnic table because Hurricane Charley had tore the roof off the auditorium and killed power.
I went anyway, to hustle up some new website business. Met some people, hung out. Very big guy named Deke was the head NPC judge. Lots of hot girls there. Even more guys with ILS there.
Show was weak. half as many competitors as last year.
One female BBer.
Nine fitness/figure combined category.
8 masters competitors, who all competed in the Open. There were only 4 or 5 guys who competed in mens who weren't masters. Very small show.

Anyone there heard of this posing champ? ;)

You need to be doing some business so you can pay me!

Did he know who you were?
Seems like a champ if he's been good enough to pose for one of getbigs haters.
I *assume* that having a condition named after himself doesn't endear him to this community ???

I was wearing a 300website shirt, but we never traded names.
No one shouted anything about Palumboism... we were all so let down by the quality of athlete up there that were we just happy to see anything resembling a real BBer.
-
He looks like a ninja turtle.
Has he considered painting himself green for future guest posing gigs?
-
oh, the funniest part of the night...
The female guest poser's music wouldn't play.
7 or 8 of the competitors had to pose to the "house song", Bad to the Bone, because they cd player kept skipping. monster amateur hour.

Damn, how much were tickets?
-
$20.
lat year kicked ass. Vic M was there. Shannon Dey. Amanda Dunbar. Quite a few others. And tons of quality competitors. Tonight was a big letdown. If I wasn't trying to sell websites, I probably wouldn't go again. I was totally handing out glossy flyers to anyone with orange skin :)
-
Did you ask dave if he was going to compete again. And also pictures arent too great, how did he look, in your honest opinion 240, which we know you will give
-
He's done competing, in my opinion.
He has to be - his waist was very bad. I was pretty far back and the lighting left a lot to be desired, so I wasn't able to snap any good ones of him posing. He had some good chest and arm muscularity, but his belly was just swollen - very O-shaped. And you can see from the pics that his arms and legs have worsened since he went away. Smaller.
He didn't pose for too long - maybe two 1-minute routines, maybe less. About half of crowd had left by the time he went. He's doing his job, being a good guest at a small show. But it was hardly the fanfare we saw with Vic M... that guy was like a rock star last year.
The emcee said "Dave Palumbo will be a pro very soon!" but i had to disagree.

240 you're fucking crazy bro lol

Well, everyone says that Jumbo uses the "thumbs up" pose in every pose. So, I tried to catch him off guard. Hee seemed a bit confused. By he made the effort, and I think we found a good compromise. I have nothing but good to say about him, very nice to everyone, very polite when navigating through big crowds. Nothing negative to say about him!
hey, I bet he'd be a good guest for the BBing radio show!
-
old vs. new
-
All drugs!
-
Inspirying physique
-
palumbo has probably the whitest teeth i have ever seen on another man. They glowed from across a crowded auditorium. no joke!
-
Monster irony on having an affiliate linked domain for the guy you are always trying to outwit :)

It looks like he's about to take a dump on stage.
They should call that pose the "Phantom Shitter."
-
I think when kamali does it in full costume, it has a greater effect.
One of the masters/light heavies did a terminator routine. It was so funny. Timing/rhythm was sketchy, to say the least. Not exactly in shape either. Plus, he had to do it twice- once with masters, once with open. It was like a different routine each time. Not a lot of good posing last night. The femle guest poser, despite not having working music, was very very fluid. Jumbo was a good poser too.

he did paint himself green on Conan as the Hulk one night---fcuking hilarious
TURTLE POWER!!

The last show I was at had a "house song" from the WWF soundtrack - they constantly played "The Big Show's" music - got really annoying like the 20th time...

imo dave did the best he could with his less then good genetics,i mean the guy did everything he was supposed to do as far as drugs,training,dieting and overall bodybuilding lifestyle but came up short up to this point.

IMO he should of never dropped out of med school

true, but depends on what his goals are. He makes okay coin, he is at the top of the field at what he does. And hundreds of people will still pay $20 to see him guest pose. Has to be more of a rush than being a doc, looking at blemishes on the sick bodies of uninsured people dying to sue all day long.

agreed...especially with the damn obesity thing nowadays
but my uncle is head MD at a small hospital in upstate NY--he's from Newfoundland but he as 3 Porches (one a $100,000 twin T)and became a millionaire by 33..but he graduated med school when he was 23
just more $$ in medical field--more stress--but he'll probably live longer than 'Jumbo'
-
5'11"
No way. Not in a million years. Nope. We actually had an awkward moment when he was attempting to navigate through the line to the bathroom. Tried to go around each other. Very polite, very easily 2-3 inches shorter than me.
LOL @ 5'11". nope.

could you please estimate his height at the closest 1/16th of an inch for Matt C please ;D
-
So Dave is 5'8, if that?
If I had to put money down, I'd say 5'7" most likely. maybe 5'8. Didn't see what kinda shoes he had one. I had some sandals on.
-
ok so we'll say 5"7 and 10/16th of an inch
great !

I would say this is a good bet, I'm 6' and walked past him numerous times...I talked to him in April at the Jr USAs, very nice, had the classic golds muscle T and shorts on...mainly took pics of the chics backstage for his webpage...talked to him at breakfast on Sun about his column in MD...real nice but has a big-ass head(literally)

Sounds like every bbing show I've ever attended.
Hell, sounds like a Pro Show. Remember the "World's" aka Chicerillo classic?

They couldn't get anything right that night. Remember during the awards ceremony, they accidentally gave Rusty Jeffers' trophy to Bob Chic!

ROFL ;D ;D
-
LOL! Let's call it [9 and 1/2]/16ths since technically 10/16ths should be reduced to 5/8ths. :D
And 240 - dude, you need to go to the Arnold next year with me. Chances are we'll end up getting beaten up, but I'm sure it will be worth it.
If Dave Palumbo is 5'7 (if that), how tall is Dave Henry? ??? Not 5'5 and 3/4 like Dante suggested.
http://toopumped.net/images/2001olympiadave.JPG
At 5'7, he sure stands taller than a lot of guys

Here's Dave under the huge guns of the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor. Will Harris is next to him next to Collette and that is Ryan Kennelly in the back. Dave is about 5'8" to 5'9"

20 bucks to watch an amature bodybuilder guest pose? Not worth it.

????????????????????????? :-\ :-\

here it is sorry. And Dave is actually a very good show. He does a great job guest posing. He and Collette did a James Bond thing. He just doesn't just pose. The crowd likes it allot.
-
Epic size difference between Dave and Cutler. Is his NPC career over, or is still trying to turn Pro? Nationals anybody?
-
What a joke.
And you're not?
