We must differentiate Mr O's are genetic freaks on two counts : 1) incredible muscle cell density/response to training 2) INCREDIBLE receptor response to PED. In 1983 i trained in Venice for month, Samir Bannout had JUST returned from Europe schedule seminars and vacation. He was about a soft 175lbs with maybe 17" arms...... three months later he won Mr O with christmas tree lower back....transformation from training and drugs was DAILY...fkn grew before our eyes !
Amazing stuff. That year he peaked perfectly. Wonder what he changed/added ? |

During late 70's. Ken Wheeler (Makkawys mentor/manager) brought Serge to Toronto weeks before Nabba Universe and he looked RIDICULOUS. Bruce page, an oldtime no bullshit writer for the original Ironman magazine, measured tight tape Nubrets ripped arm pumped at 21 1/4" in front of us. So those twinks on here who say Nubret was small....and remember his waist was ridiculously small like Brian Buchanan...Nubret tons of para and primo acetate, and tons of red meat.. remember he lied on his side with a 25lb dumbell and did rear delt raises for 15-20 reps and then would roll over and do other side and just kept going back and forth for 45 minutes !
21" arms with those small joints and thin vascular skin, mustve been quite a sight to behold in person! |

I'm surprised he was even allowed to travel to Pretoria in 1975 to compete
In 76 he could've beaten Franco, had he competed fair and square
But in 75, no way anyone was gonna unseat King Arnold, it was like the build-up to the 91 Olympia, it sells magazines to pitch Big Louie up against the champ. Against all odds, and all that
Nubret was black. A black man had no rights in apartheid SA. Like a sub-species
Arnold was better

this guy was black,on gear, trained all the time,and ate properly,thats why he looked so good.
he didnt look up theroies on diet and jerk off to training videos.
The guy you thought was Flexington Steele whose physique you (and everyone else) admire, is very similar to Nubret Black man genes. Long attachments, full bellies, small joints, good frame, thin skin On a fucking tropical island eating who knows what, with limited equipment and knowledge he looked very good at 16/17 |

In the 70s Bannout gave an interview and spoke of his short time with Nubret, he said he couldn't believe the quantities of meat he consumed, meat and veg.
He also said the training went on forever, not suited to his style, for him it wouldve been too much
Bannout wasn't knocking him, just relating the story, if anything, the guys then appeared to admire Nubret.
Maybe he wasn't complete, but he had insane genes, his abs looked like the skin was vaccuum packed. His legs while not huge had amazing shape. The delts complemented physique. Very good upper back detail, but lacked development.
In his poses, and standing relaxed, he was what anyone would want to look like. In mandatories, especially with arms away from physique, no so strong. He looked good in FLS, side chest & his take on MM

There are more people from the Cape Verde islands in other countries, than in the Cape Verde Islands
Good point They're all in Portugal. If they went back home, the islands would sink. And so would crime and unemployment in Portugal. |

Powerlifters & strongmen lift cause they like lifting big or competing
Bodybuilders do it for their own reasons or competing
Weightlifters usually do it for competing
All legitimate, IMO
But,
Then you get insecure individuals, that fail at bbing, so claim to be powerlifters/strongmen, when they fail at that, they become functional trainers, then cross-fitters, then they're just keeping fit, then they're runners, cyclists, then this, then that..
So in the process they diss everything else they've failed at, and what they're currently doing is best, till the next thing comes along

Don was one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.. Also a very successful business man.. Why denounce the man.. Useless thread..
At what age did he begin training? Late 30s, 40s? |

thanks for that post man
and btw, do you have anything from Roark regarding Mentzer's, Viator's, Zane's, or Columbo's arm measurements?
I don't, but I haven't really looked. I came across the above by chance. But I'd also be interested to hear about their real measurements. And Dickerson too! Viator apparently had a true 15"+ forearm, as measured by A Jones which as you know, isn't as big as Hazbin's, but its big! |
