You know you realize but Pete competed at around 265 or so which was huge for back then. Arnold competed at 235. Arnold is slightly taller than Pete. I would love to see a pic of Pete in contest shape next to Arnold at the same time period in contest shape to see the size difference. Next time I talk to him I will see if he has any pics like that

Pete was a big man, that's for sure, looks like a big bencher with the pec thickness, i'd match him up against any of today's guys with that chest, seems like the guys back then had a more hard, rugged look about their physiques but real at the same time, todays guys all look the same with different heads.

Kenny those are awesome. Great job. I gave Pete this link so hopefully he'll come on

I went drag racing with Pete several times 95 & 96. I'll dig up the photos of Pete and his Alcohol Funny Car. Big fun and Pete was always a blast to hang with.

I am looking at a pic with his funny car with him and my daughters in it roght now. I will scan it and put it up. Went to Palmdale Raceway a few times. Tommy we must know each other. I'll say hi to Pete when he calls. I have been trying to get him on here but he can't type.

I'd say it is the Garbage Plates, but I don't think they were around then.

In my gym (Rockell's aka Samsons) there is a painting that has both Pete and Danny on it. Obviously done by a local, but kind of cool nonetheless.

Rochester born. My Dad hung out with Grymko who was sweet on my Mom. His "Chest/Back" pamphlet was my first bodybuilding course.

By the way, I think the garbage plate WAS around in the 1970s

Here is that pic of my daughters and Pete in his Funny Car. I loved it that he would smoke a joint all the way up to when they would lower the body onto the car just before getting set to race. He said it calmed his nerves.

When I get home, I'll put up some Grymko quotes from that "Chest/Back" course I have from his back in the 1970s. Some of his observations on building mass are very insightful.

Pete G was big and thick.

Looks like well rounded, likeable individual.

What prompted him to hang up posing trunks?

Which one is Pete. No way either of those guys are him. If so I got to send this to him. Unreal

First BB to be involved with specific mag articles on roid use, in Muscle around '77-'78. Hadn't really been touched in any detail prior to that. First mention of GH.

Grymko was Ferrigno's backup as the Hulk; would like to have seen him in a show. Reminds of Dillet re: structure & height.

Schwarzenegger had retired, plus Pete never entered the Olympia. Maybe there're some gym pics.
