First, with regards to competitive resumes, let us not forget that of Cormier: 4 IronMan titles, 1 NOC, 1, San Francisco Pro, several Grand Prix victories, and 2 third-place finishes at the Olympia.

Hints:(1) The legend who said the former won bodybuilding's most prestigious title FOUR times (his last, at the expense of a multiple Olympia winner) and was a professional strongman.

You also forgot the 6 consecutive runner-up finishes at the Arnold, which some of those he very easily could have won over Jay.

I can't figure out the first quote, but I know there hasn't been someone to win the Olympia four times....

Scott-2x
Oliva-3
Arnold-7
Franco-2
Zane-3
Bannout-1
Dickerson-1
Haney-8
Yates-6
Coleman-8
Jay-3
Dex-1

Haney said your last quote, however.

The answer to the first question is Bill Pearl, four-time NABBA Mr. Universe. He won his last title by defeating 3-time Mr Olympia, Sergio Oliva.

Remember that, back in those days, the Olympia was NOT the top title in bodybuilding. The NABBA Universe, however, was.

Would have helped had you actually said the major clue in your hint. Sure, back then the Olympia wasn't the big one...but you didn't cite that part in your description.

I thought I did, when I stated that "The legend who said the former won bodybuilding's most prestigious title FOUR times (his last, at the expense of a multiple Olympia winner) and was a professional strongman."

The implication was that the title won by this legend (Pearl) wasn't the Mr. Olympia title, as it wasn't the most prestigious title at the time.

Jesus guys, don't waste your time arguing about such a minor thing.

Puking isn't necessarily an indication of intense leg work. When I was younger I would hack up on a regular basis training legs. But, I found that was due mostly to my not breathing properly, which made me dizzy and light-headed. When I corrected that, my leg workouts got much better and my legs got bigger and stronger, sans the barfing.

We weren't arguing. It was simply a clarification (unless your reference to arguing is with regards to training).

I think if Ronnie worked out with him now, he would. But prime ronnie and dorian together, I think ronnie would use more weight but dorian would put out more effort.

He won one nonetheless.

Of course, I gather the question about Chick was an implication that his lack of multiple wins was simply because he supposedly didn' t train "hard enough".

Since when did puking become the hallmark of bodybuilding training, let alone bodybuilding success.

First, with regards to competitive resumes, let us not forget that of Cormier: 4 IronMan titles, 1 NOC, 1, San Francisco Pro, several Grand Prix victories, and 2 third-place finishes at the Olympia.

Plus, which two bodybuilding legends used the phrases, "Train; don't strain" and "Stimulate; don't annihilate."?

Hints:(1) The legend who said the former won bodybuilding's most prestigious title FOUR times (his last, at the expense of a multiple Olympia winner) and was a professional strongman.

(2) The second is arguably the greatest bodybuilder of all times, winning his last championship at the expense of one Dorian Yates.

I believe you wrote several articles, back in 2002 (I believe), that when it came to this "hardcore" training, you were a competitor who'd been there and done that. And, you had the injuries to prove it.

It was the "Squats Suck" article in IronMan, the "Butchering Sacred Cows" article in FLEX, and a similar article in MuscleMag (the name of which escapes me at this time).

you can do both.

Dorian always uses very very good form While training hard.

He did explain why he tore his biceps though.

Training for the Ironman after being off for so long is definately a shock to his or anyone's system.  Hopefully, we will see Chris Cormier at the Ironman in great shape.

People tend to hold their breath, when squatting or doing heavy leg presses. That makes you light-headed, dizzy, and induces vomiting.

I basically take deep deliberate breathes when descending or squats and leg presses and exhale deliberately, when pressing or squatting up.
