Big Vic Richards

[Cleanest Natural]

Paul dillet yates levrone pwned him

overhyped but massive...he was smart ...on stage he would have been whooped

[michael arvilla]

Victor was very smart (he made a "name" money for himself by creating that "Mystique" of "would he or wouldn't he compete/beat the days top pros's)
i think he was a little ahead of his time (sizewise) but then later the Dorian's, Dillet's caught up)
sometime in the early 1990's i got to spend a couple days with Victor (Freddy the owner of a local gym in Lynn Massachusetts was a friend of Victors and paid him to come down and host a seminar and basically just hang out) Victor would eat the same thing almost every hour (grilled chicken with white rice/he could usually eat "2 orders of it") we took Victor to my work ("The Palace Nightclub") and to Revere Beach and the Mall ...people were genuinely "freaking out" at the size of him (like drawing a crowd type of reaction)
at the seminars people would walk out because Victor would go off on these "racism"/religious rants" instead of talking about bodybuilding
unique character is how i would define him (he said he weighed 330 lbs and was in pretty darn good condition) that weight at the time in that condition was unheard of

funny how as the years pass, we start focusing on what really mattters and leave the BS aside...

glad u are OK

[Boost]

Crazy genetics for size.

17 years of age in these pictures.

Mind blowing. Bigger and thicker than 95% of getbig will ever be....

[rudylrichards]

I should say, all that matter, Strydom didn't matter---and remember you said Dorian was offseason and who was Vic stood nect to? Now, I do agree his back needed work

That video of him never gets old.  Except for Coleman, his size is unmatched even today, and that was early 90's.  He dwarfed Dorian, BUT, if he dieted down, he'd be about 5olbs lighter.  He didn't cary alot of fat but he had alot of water and was soft.

Let me get this straight punk...  Are you saying, if he competed, he'd be as big a failure onstage as you are in life or not that bad 

thanx mike

  Looking at his legs, there's no way he's 270, not 330 either but closer to 300lbs.  Thats what...3 times your weight or just 2.

Wassup Mike, not on here much, not sure what your situation is but hope everything is or will be ok for you. You always seemed like a great guy.  When I used to post more frequently your lady had cancer, I hope she's ok

[Nirvana]

coulda, woulda, shoulda. but didn't. and that's all that matters

[Per Se]

Wonder what the dude looks like these days. Any pics?

still big

[The_Hammer]

Very large bones.  Look at the size of his wrist.

His legs are bigger than Coleman's.

[#1 Klaus fan]

32 inch thighs eh? Did he train them at all haha.

Rudy

    Yea thanks Rudy! (bad things happen for no reason = part of life i guess and growing up/being a man)
   and I'm sorry to hear your no longer "gunning" for that Pro-Card,i always thought you had a world class physique (and personality)...you would have made a great Pro Imo

[First Blood]

this guy is a freak and would have been a top 3-5 pro if he competed at the mr olympia. i don't think his physique was complete enough to win the mr olympia tho.

[dyslexic]

Guys like him will always be bigger than the rest...

[Pollux]

He's a lying ass Nigerian...24 inch arms , 32 inch thighs ...He's nowhere near that in that video...Let's not forget the 10k calories...

Why are you hating on your people?
