Rory and Bob

[Never1AShow]

Sure. Became friends with both in the early 90's.  Troy was always cooler than Shawn IMO but both guys were cool with me.  Worked with Troy in 91/92 while with Pro Muscle USA. Shawn trained mostly at Fullerton Golds I recall but he did hit Gold's Venice fairly often.

Had a great time at the "Battle of the Biceps" at the 1991 USA I believe.  It was Troy Zuccolotto vs Mike Quinn. Dumbbells for reps, plus 225 on a barbell for reps.  Best combined rep total wins.

Who knows the winner? Who knows the secret? 

Did one claim each rep with a dumbell counted the same so he got one rep for each arm?

I remember that. Fake plates of peace?

  And fake dumbbells of peace too.  great entertainment still.

Doubtful, it's always been a niche.

And, remember, that pic was "extreme" at the time.

Bodybuilding definitely wouldn't be huge, but the "sport" today is actually lesser than it was 20 years ago.

I mean, we used to see this stuff on ESPN! Now, this year we hear that BODYBUILDING.com won't even stream the "super bowl" of drug abu bodybuilding.

Two of the greatest physiques ever... should Rory have beaten Bob?

Both Rory and Bob had heavy bench press pecs. Something todays bodybuilders no longer have.
