Bob Paris: speaking the truth - 1986

[Cleanest Natural]

Listen to him

[Meso_z]

Listen to him

Great interview...

[che]

Spot on.

[YngiweRhoads]

Ugly fucker. (sans homo)

[epic_alien]

so what was the point of the video?

a guy who used anabolic s  bitching about the use of them?

a guy who missed out on millions because of his addiction to them, also, bitching about them,

and a guy who speaks about being clean, yet engages in dirty butthole sex with other men?

is that the jist of it?

[MAXX]

people talking about themselves in 3'rd person makes me ... pompousus homo...

great physique but also built on steroids which he also hypocritically talks about.

[Figo]

yes.. rod & bob as well as being close friends, also engaged in greco-roman bouts in the traditional naked style outdoors in the sand, it helped with their conditioning
































they then took turns in wiping each others backs whilst engaging in vigorous anal intercourse

no homo

He said abuse, not use. Ob>iously, Bob wasn't against the use of AAS, but the abuse of it to the point where the physique becomes grotesque as opposed to aesthetic and balanced. I still don't understand why the 90's standard isn't adhered to today. They reached the ideal combination of size, density, and shape, without the distended bellies and slin look. Who the fuck actually thinks that today's standard is progress? Boggles my mind...

[Mr Nobody]

Great interview, Bob had one of the best physiques all time (a bigger Frank Zane) back when symmetry mattered.

[MAXX]

[stuntmovie]

We took Bob diving with the dolphins many years ago and he spent an hour or so in the tank with two of them. Bob swore that they were trying to communicate with him and block his exit from the tank

Wait ..... Maybe it was Cory Everson who they would not allow to get out of the tank.

It's been a while but I do recall that they both had one hell of a great experience with those gentle and intelligent critters.

Cory, Bob.... If you read this, correct my stupidity!

Not nearly as much as you might think.

hes gay? weird cause he sounds straight.

[G_Thang]

hes gay? weird cause he sounds straight.

the magazines use to print he was a ladies' man.

[Cableguy]

Good footage...I miss those days!

You can see the intensity those guys put into each rep. Especially Gaspari. He literally willed himself to become as good as he got. He was hungry for it, and wouldn't accept failure.

E>en though they were on a shitload of stuff, training seemed to be a much more important ingredient to their success. Now it really is all drugs, and it shows...

Good post Figo, I'm curious, would you include Labrada on your list as well? Yeah, it's true that Paris had a great classical physique, but his torso was a tad bit too long.

judges and fanboys...

[cephissus]

it almost seemed like satire hearing the number of times he said "sport."

[Hurricane Beef !]

Bob is a cat who had it all . . . there is no question in THE BEEF's mind that Bob is rolling in cash and cock. Bay likey???

bob is not a cat

Bob wasn't against the use of AAS, but the abuse of it to the point where the physique becomes grotesque as opposed to aesthetic and balanced.

Aesthetics and balance is mostly genetic.  Bob used as many drugs as all the rest at that time. Rich Gaspari could never look as aesthetic as Paris... and it's not because Gaspari abused drugs.

The point where a physique becomes grotesque is very subjective. Bob was HUGE. I'm sure grotesque to those who view Reeves as the ideal.

There is no such thing as use and abuse of bodybuilding drugs. Entirely subjective, use for one is abuse to another. I'm sure many would have thought Bob's use of the new drug hGH was abusive since the effects weren't well known.

You make some good points. Yes, it all depends on perspecti>e I guess. And yes, Bob hit the jackpot in the looks and aesthetics department. As did Ree>es. Gaspari of course could ne>er look like Bob. And what he achie>ed was actually more inpressi>e in some ways considering his genetic shortcomings.
