No, you look good.  I only meant decent photos of you are few and far between.

i'll be featured in an up coming issue of musclemag, it was done in the offseason last year while i was in vegas for the Olympia.


now i just got to get on a cover....been doing this a long time and only 1 cover in 93 with Danny Hester on Muscle Media 2000.

regardless of what you meant to say
why would you even come close to insulting a man who is a fine bodybuilder
and takes the time to answer our questions here
a little respect is in order
IN MY HUMBLE OPINION
get big can certainly be a rough place on occasion
let's try to be courteous to vinny! no more smart alec statements!

I’m not sure why you would think so, but there was nothing insulting about what I said, and I think Vinny knows better than to think that.  Unlike many posters here I am not in the habit of offering gratuitously nasty comments.

More photos Vinny!  :)

i just wanted to see if i could do well in a contest. then when i started placing and winning, i gave the jr usa a try because it was held in NJ.
i got my doors waxed, and placed 15th. i never thought of going back to a national show after that...it was all for just getting in great shape.
after winning my class in the nj states, i gave the jr usa another try...i won my class.

i have taken each contest as it comes, and market my self to the best that i can.

we have way too many LAZY bodybuilders today....im not talking about what goes on in the gym, i'm talking about MARKETING.

i have seen so many guys turn pro before and after me from my area, and you never see them in a magazine. its not because the mags dont want them, its because the bodybuilder is not trying hard enough  or not at all to get work.

everyone would like to be Mr O, BUT it is a lot easier to get in a magazine.....lol

getting off the topic a bit, i walk into the expo this past weekend and i run into a guy that we ALL know....{don't ask, i'm not mentioning his name}  and he looked kinda miserable, but i made my way over to say hello anyway.....his response was negative about the long day ahead
and i thought to my self, man there are 1,000's of guys sitting home wishing their feet were tired from standing all day signing autographs, getting paid, and living the dream.

i walked away laughing and it put me in a great mood....






good advice right there!

I actually have that issue...Gosh MM2K....what a great mag back in the day. I remember Bill Philips saying that you guys were his athletes and that you were both "Natural" and would take a test any time to prove this.....The real story?

i am not thinking of competing this year. i am moving my business this week to a new location, and i'm focusing more on that.

i havn't talked to john in  while.

we just trained, increased the weight about 10 to 20 lbs every set, went for 12-15 reps per set, and made sure we got a pump. nothing too fancy.

I guess you mean on a cover in the U.S. I just found Irvin Gelb website: he has a Hungary and a France (primarily Mike Francois) cover there.
