Title: Dave Palumbo - why didnt he turn pro?
Post by: Army of One on June 14, 2012, 07:41:07 AM
Im not up on these men in thongs that gyrate onstage, so maybe somebody can tell me how Palumbo made a name for himself?I assumed he must have been a good bodybuilder at some point?

His physique was considered "ugly".
Also he was known as an extreme abuser of synthol, couldn't have helped.

Then you are in luck because there are lots of (hetero) guys here who know every detail about the lives and muscle fibers of the muscled men who wear thongs and gyrate onstage for your entertainment. :D

He was waiting for Ben Weider to get bodybuilding into the Olympics, so he intentionally lost to maintain his amateur status ?

TOMMY W,you mentioned an interesting point up above there..

If Joe and Ben had been successful in getting bodybuilding into the Olympics, what US boeybuilders would have been qualified to represent the US?

(I do recall a few US IFBB pros planning to compete inthe Olympics if the Weiders were successful.)

And since the Olympic contenders are supposed to be amateur  athletes, that would have removed the US part of the IFBB out of the picture since the original IFBB/NPC agreement was/is that only the NPC would have 'control' over US amateur bodybuilders while the IFBB would 'cotrol' the pros.

There has never been such an agreement in Europe and to the best of my limited knowledge the IFBB sanctions both pro and amateur events over there, so it would have only been a 'problem' in the US of A.

I think.
Title: Re: Why didnt Palumbo turn pro?
Post by: stuntmovie on June 14, 2012, 09:40:54 AM
Vas gave the correct answer to this question.


BILLY, I could be wrong here but you seem to carry a bit of animosity on some of these BB topics which I somehow find interesting but  somewhat different from my own experiences and observations.

I do see your name mentioned often on various boards but I have no idea how you're involved with bodybuilding, the NPC, or the IFBB other than the fact that you were once a friend of Daves/

My big question here is : How and why did Weinberger deny Dave a pro card? ......and if Dave did in fact qualify for such pro card, what was Weinberger's justification for denying that pro card?

I don't believe Weinverger makes those decisions.

Maybe you can elaborate if I am incorrect.

Thanks.

There wasn't a year when Dave deserved to win either pro qualifier.  He was enormous and pretty lean in offseason, but when he dieted down he would lose a lot of size and his structural flaws would become unbearable.  And the situation would repeat itself every year, except that he managed to get worse and worse with time, until he saw the writing on the wall, I guess and hung it up.  I highly doubt Steve Weinberger had much to do with him not becoming a pro

Sadly, Dave is a quite ugly, bug-eyed man with a steroid belly. The IFBB could not accept this in their ranks.

no these other guys have great looks ;D

He was a national contender in the 90s

But always a freakshow, in those days there were a lot of good bbers, and they just portrayed the human species better than palumbo

Thanks for backing me up re Weinburger, MANSA.

And also for your pretty accurate observation which I tend to agree with .... and I say that as someone who had been associated with Dave in the past and see him on numerous  occasions which were always professionable, informative and enjoyable.

Regardig Dan Hill's pro card ... Dan did not win his pro card in the US, but I believe he received it as a result of an overall  win in some IFBB sanctioned amateur contest over-seas.....possibly the IFBB JR World Championships in Germany.

I dont recall him winning the Jr's, however, that doesn't earn him a pro card, right?
The reality is; he was very big, very hard and vascular and very unbalance with poor symmetry and always looked smaller on stage than in the gym due to his muscle shape, tie-ins and large bone structure(large waist, large head, large wrists and ankles).
Never deserved a pro card for sure and Mr. Francis has little to do with it  ;)

ur right winning jr national's is not pro qualifier but at the same time in  96 or so he looked the best he could at the time he was a freak in terms off mass/conditioning.i still think he won a jr level title for what its worth.

Palumbo won the heavyweight class at the Junior Nationals in 1995. The overall went to Willie Stalling, the same guy who later beat Jay Cutler for the overall Nationals title in 1996.

In gym-type clothing he was BEYOND a freak of size and leanness, a surefire bet to go pro, but when he got onstage, the hideousness of his shape, proportions, structure, etc. destroyed the dream.

At the time, from what I understand, the IFBB was not prepared to reward such a physique. His was a bit too much. Marketability? Not on your life.

A dozen or more years later and in the IFBB we're approaching Dave's level of "wrong". Branch is not quite there (yet?), but his physique is dangerously close to being pure and unbridled hideousness.

...And since the Olympic contenders are supposed to be amateur athletes

I think.

Way back in the '40s one might lose his/her medal if they found out you we're receiving money from competing. And I think
that didn't even include price money. Only if you had an unfair advantage of not needing to work for your living :)

We've been past that a long time ago. Andre Agassi has olympic medal. NHL guys. All the track guys and swimmers.
In soccer you still might have some limitations?

of control and built monstrous glutes that throw
off any back shots, although he had a great back.
His condition was spectacular but he built mass
with no care for how it looked or was distributed.

You're nuts. It takes just what you mentioned he lacks to do what he did on his body. Ever see that pic of him when he was a long distance runner? He went from that to one of the biggest ever in the NPC. Just not pretty to look at....

I saw that gnarled little stump and his sketchy looking girlfriend at Somerset Place mall north of Motown about 10 years ago...it was just days before  Christmas and really cold outside but this goof was wearing shorts and a tank top.  I almost blurted out "you're Dave Palumbo, right?" on the elevator but caught myself when I saw that "acknowledge me and I'll try to bum $20 off you" look on his face

Good, funny and most likely true sounding post about Palumbo.
Dave had the brains and chance to be a real MD, but dropped out after 2 yrs in med school.
Most guys can't get in to the med school he dropped out of.
Most NPC amatuer bodybuilders never come close to the amount of ripped mass he packed on his
frame.
He had the goods to be a pro but never closed the final deal on that path either.
Dave Palumbo was a good national level NPC bodybuilder in his prime. He is one of the smartest guys
with an awesome depth of knowledge on steroids and nutrition.
Guys with a lot less talent have had more success in the medical field and as bodybuilders.
Not sure why he never could complete the final lap to be a success in various fields he had talent in.

The first 2 years in medical school are all classes. The third year is when you must rotate through various clinics and services and actually get a feel of what a real doctor does. Seeing patients, working insane hours and helping people.

Not of the latter three qualities clearly appealed to Palumbo.

Most people couldn't get into the school he dropped out of? Hardly. He went to a local college that any joe blow could get in to.

The guy is a crook. Shady on the lowest levels.

Jesus fuck, 850?!

An elite and world-beating powerlifter requires lifting gear to approach such squatting weight, and you think some bodybuilder who has never worn gear and never done direct powerlifting training can do it?!

Oh, not to mention I have seen Dave train in the flesh and there just is NO way he has ever had the strength to squat a full rep, raw, with anywhere close to even seven.

When I was editor at Peak Training Journal (RIP) we got Palumbo to pose for some "hardcore" training shots and he just about got crushed STANDING under 585. If he had bent his knees, it would have been one very fast freefall to the gym floor, let me tell you.

850?!!!

Your post just proves what so many here say: there are a lot of members who either don't lift at all or have next to zero knowledge about anything weight-training related.

850?!!!!

True what you said, either way, I just don't like Dave. And the diet he pushes is not "his diet" he just re vamped something from way back and put his name on it. He wears eye liner and his radio show lost it's flair. At first you felt it was for the love, then all the commercials and him having to have too much control over everything just fucked it up. Good job goofball....

I will never respect him as he had precision peptides as a sponsor on his site, they sold crap and he stood behind this company as he let them sponsor his site. At the time, nobody would confess the stuff was bad. Then... Months later they hint us... "well the liquid versions won't work as good as pharma" Really? Now you tell us, after all the negative feedback, feedback of which you KNEW we were right on.

That plus him selling fake GH in the day makes for him being a dude I just don't trust.

He's a lying scumbag that will do anything and screw over anyone for a buck

BTW? Who are these people praising him in person and dying for his advice?

He is lucky he has Chris Aceto on his site otherwise he wouldn't get a sniff from any pros.

His only client is Morel, great role model when he's not strangling his kids

Palumbo has had his ups and downs, been busted... done some bad stuff, but all in all he's a business man and as a business man, you don't want to fuck over your customer base.

Has he done some negative shit in the past, sure... no doubt, but sometimes you just gotta move the fuck on.
Too many people are described as "business men" these days. Let's call it like it is, he's a hustler, a shyster, charlatan. He is what makes the bbing world so shady. As GH would say, he's "filth". He is no business man, because he has no real "business", man.

Post by: Fortress on June 24, 2012, 12:36:00 PM
I am going to do my best and try to find that article so you don't make a liar out of me.  But seriously the guy was rumored to be close to 300 lbs at his peak so that kind of weight is not inconcievable.
Back in the 80's I witnessed a Mr Canada competitor squat 7 plates for an easy couple of reps with no warm up, no wraps and he was only 230.  I myself have done 615 at 205lbs.  Even today I rack squat 600 for 5 with no wraps. I cant imagine a guy who has 100 lbs more muscle than me and every drug known to man to be as weak as you say. I could be wrong.

Look, I used to be an editor at MMI, so I know beyond know that most of the poundage claims in the mags are pure horseshit.

As I say, an official (below parallel) squat with 850 is gigantic. Hell, check out Coleman doing, what, eight-something ... ? ... He isn't close to legal depth.

A 300-pound bodybuilder hitting good reps with five or six plates is more than impressive. If he can do one or two legal reps with seven or more, AMAZING. Like, way amazing.  

" ... (I watched a) Mr Canada competitor squat 7 plates for an easy couple of reps with no warm up, no wraps and he was only 230."

Don't buy it. Not to anything resembling a legal depth. IPF-style. I have been in hardcore lifting gyms for 27 years and never have I seen a man squat anything more than around mid-sixes for a rep or two, raw. The very best raw squatters in the world, juiced to the hills, do somewhere around 7-800, generally. In a meet after peaking their training.

To squat to rails set so the deepest point puts you one or two inches higher than true parallel is not even remotely the same as sitting down to a full squat.

An 850 squat is a freakish feat.

Just by default of all the drugs and hormones floating through his system, Palumbo was a strong dude. But 850 is outlandish.

Three hundred pounds bodyweight is nothing when considering the crushing ferocity of an 800 pound barbell strapped across your back.

The very best doing nine or more use gear that literally puts hundreds of pounds on the performance.

Anyone who can squat a set of 10 with 500 is hugely strong. A true freak, regardless of drug use or not.

Okay Mr. Fortress I found the article.  It's an interview with Palumbo on bodybuilding.com.  Sorry I don't know how to link it but it is easy to find, just google dave palumbo squat.  He states that he has squatted 800 fo 4 reps! and deadlifted 600 for 8!  I knew I wasn't crazy ;D  Whether it is true or not is another matter, I believe your credentials so let's say he might have fibbed a little.

Rewatched Ronnies squat and I believe that would be a legal squat.  I have watched many lifts on utube that were passed and his is easily as low as any I've seen. It's just that his quad is so huge that it looks high, and he does it with very little assist from the butt.  It's all quad.
 
I may be new to GB but I've been lifting for more years than I care to admit.  One gym I worked out at shared the basement with a powerlifting group that sent guys to the worlds every couple of years, and I trained with a provincial record holder.  Amazingly looking back now he knew very little about proper training.  He gave me a lot of bad advises. lol.
This bodybuilder I was talking about was unnaturally strong, he could outlift any powerlifter his size.  He was just a freak. I take it you have seen Platz's 500lb 23rep video?  Some guys are just like that. But I suspect Platz was not a naturally strong individual,  he just outworked everybody. Anyways, cheers. I'm going to have a beer before my anabolic window closes.

There was always someone better than Palumbo. The only thing he did at a professional level was get shredded. His shape was and is shit. Injection sites everywhere, and an average poser at best. He never deserved a pro card.

And he didn't drop out of medical school.....he got kicked out.

A few years back there were threads all over this....RXMuscle deleted them immediately as did MD although I don't know why MD did.

He got caught stealing shit from a lab or something like that....it could have been another students paper for all I know. Dave even posted to defend himself and said he wasn't stealing...he was "borrowing". The threads were funny as hell because some amateur sleuth did some digging and contacted the school Dave attended.....it was verified that he was expelled.

I've never seen a thread get taken down so fast....anyone who posted screen shots of that thread were "banned" from RX. I swear every moderator was called at home and told to get online immediately. The best was when Dave tried to defend himself. A few years later Romano confirmed it.

It makes sense though.....who the fuck drops out of med school.

I'm sure if you do some digging something will turn up. I personally believe he was kicked out. He's a lying schmuck.

If he said eight for four, he's a total liar.

Coleman's squat that you reference is way high, in my opinion. Of course, yeah, many rogue feds these days pass squats that are ridiculous.

Platz is a natural squatter, structure-wise. He hit 12 with 635 a month before one of his later Os, too. CRAZY freak. But drugs were his fuel and without ... well, he isn't much.

Palumbo at his biggest would have gotten crushed to dust under eight.

Why not ask questions for Dave on getbig and see if Aaron has the balls to ask his mentor any of these questions rather than the ridiculous filtered questions submitted by listeners written by Aaron 5 minutes before the show starts.

We all know they both read this board so let's see how much credibility the "truth in bodybuilding" actually has.

That is more what I had in mind..

Dave could you have prevented Derek Anthony's kidney failure with alkalinized water, grounding pads and "kidney stuff"? If so, why did you stand by and watch him murder his nephrons?

Look, I used to be an editor at MMI, so I know beyond know that most of the poundage claims in the mags are pure horseshit.

As I say, an official (below parallel) squat with 850 is gigantic. Hell, check out Coleman doing, what, eight-something ... ? ... He isn't close to legal depth.

A 300-pound bodybuilder hitting good reps with five or six plates is more than impressive. If he can do one or two legal reps with seven or more, AMAZING. Like, way amazing.  

" ... (I watched a) Mr Canada competitor squat 7 plates for an easy couple of reps with no warm up, no wraps and he was only 230."

Don't buy it. Not to anything resembling a legal depth. IPF-style. I have been in hardcore lifting gyms for 27 years and never have I seen a man squat anything more than around mid-sixes for a rep or two, raw. The very best raw squatters in the world, juiced to the hills, do somewhere around 7-800, generally. In a meet after peaking their training.

To squat to rails set so the deepest point puts you one or two inches higher than true parallel is not even remotely the same as sitting down to a full squat.

An 850 squat is a freakish feat.

Just by default of all the drugs and hormones floating through his system, Palumbo was a strong dude. But 850 is outlandish.

Three hundred pounds bodyweight is nothing when considering the crushing ferocity of an 800 pound barbell strapped across your back.

The very best doing nine or more use gear that literally puts hundreds of pounds on the performance.

Anyone who can squat a set of 10 with 500 is hugely strong. A true freak, regardless of drug use or not.  

I see a guy in his mid-thirties squat 500 for 10-12 DEEP reps every week. Tells me he only uses 300 tren and 300 test enanthate a week. Think he's lying to fuck but wahtever. He weighs about 110kg at maybe 5 10 and he is very lean. He used to be 125kg and did a 400kg squat equipped - I've seen the vid.

It's amazing that Palumbo got as thick as he did having started from that, regardless of the means he employed.
