Revolution Magazine: Are you still bodybuilding?

Lynch: No, that's one of the silliest things I've ever done. I felt so anti-musical. Even the guys from VH1 were making fun of me. It also makes it difficult to play. But no, I just work out now to stay in shape.

makes no sense, he s actually bigger than when he was "bodybuilding"...


then



now




I guess it's just trendy to train 5 hours a week and pretend you dont cause "bodybuilding is for losers"... that you just "try to stay in shape" whatever that means...

well known people know being associated with lifting weights makes you immediately look like a moron in the eye of the genral public.

George Lynch is the shit. I loved his style when I started out. Great tone and feel.
Almost always, yes.

He's pretty badass:


But at one point he really was jacked...

I just don't get this whole lying. He even lies about knowing music theory, but when he begins to explain some licks he made, he's all of a sudden talking about major sevens and minor thirds etc. Still, he's one of the best guitar players. Amazing speed, phrasing and note choices...

I get tired of these hollywood types juicing for awhile claiming their gym work ethic got them there.  How many movie stars look fantastic for movie and look like they never lifted a weight 6 months after the movie is out?

haha, only a true-blue Tar Heel would get that reference brother!  One of my all-time fav Heels!

And this imposter skinny-twink needs to go back to 1987 when 50 people bought the Dokken albums.....that was his peak.

Bodybuilding?!?  I know people who do just run, do chin ups and push ups and have better bodies.  What a joke.

From what I recall, he really didn't know anything but started taking lessons later down the line (near the end of the Dokken era).

Love me some George Lynch!

First pic is from the 80's, before he started lifting.

It's hard to find a pic of him from the 90's-00's where he was fairly well built.

I'm more of a Steve Vai kind of guy when it comes to guitar players.

i think i know what he means, especially for a shredder type guitarist if your forearms/hands are sore, or even fatigued from a hard pulling/pullup workout, your playing is not going to be as fast or sharp. and you cant play as long. for me at least. it feels like you are going to get carpal tunnel
