What did you think of San Jose? And my buddy Lance's max muscle kicks ass doesn't it?



Let's put it this way. I bought a lot of shit, shirts too. The Max Muscle in my town sucks by comparison... as a matter of fact, it closed.


BTW, I forgot to mention that I've met Mike Matarrazzo many, many times. I suppose enough to call us friends. He is always so down to earth, especially now that he isn't competing. He was cool even when dieting hard.


I'll have to post those pics up when I get back home.


Yeah, I dig San Jose, if I could afford to live there I would. Considering I can be to Milipitas blvd. in 50 minutes, I'm not too far away.

I met Hide in the Pittsburgh airport, we were on the same flight to LAX.

I met Arnold once back in the early 90s while he was doing some publicity for T2.

I have met the Evil Lou Ferrigno of course... Who hasn't.

Plus other randoms at different shows and events.

I met the late Sonny Schmidt in Romania in 95 guest-posing together with Charles Clairmonte. I spoke with Sonny for about an hour. Very cool guy and big. Clairmonte seemed huge.

I met Ron Love in 2003. H e trained me for a few months. At 52 he was still big.

I go to the Arnold every year so I have got to meet a lot of top pro bodybuilders and bullshit with them. I have met a few a couple different times and the one time they were in a good mood and talkative and the other time complete dicks!!! One that stands out as being a super cool guy the first time was Don Long cool as shit he just turned pro and seemed to wanna meet everyone. The next year went up to talk to him he was in the Vivarin booth at the Arnold and he completely blew us off.  

Then there was the time I met Kovac in Chicago at the Olympia and he was cool as hell then the a few months later at the ARnold I asked how big his arms were and he said something crazy like almost 28" and I said DAmn almost as big as Hoerbels and he FREAKED the fuck out started snarling and growling I looked at my dad and said fuck I thin I pissed him off he just glared at me!!! Hahahah!!!

But for the most part all of them have been cool and talkative. Ronnie was pissed one year(the year he won his first Olympia) He was sitting across from Billy Blanks tae Bo booth and no one I mean NO ONE was in line to talk to him everyone was watching Billy Blanks and Tae Bo. I walked up and said Hey he looked at me kinda smiled and I asked him jokingly if he ever tried Tae Bo he got a good laugh out of it :)

Shawn Ray at Bull Dog Gym in his Amateur days when I had family in Fullerton yrs ago, drove an old red 300 series Bimmer back than.  There are an older gentlemen who trained with Shawn, kind of like Brian/Ronnie thing in Arlington.  I had the normal kid impression of him, given I was collecting all of his covers at the time.

Where the hell is Azusa's fine ass?  Girl is from Glendora but don't want to own up.

I think Phil Heath was in the posing room at a gym on Iliff in Aurora, CO when he was an amateur, but he has yet to confirm.  Anyway, guy did look like him.

I met Ronnie Coleman by complete chance in florida around '2000.  I went to my local supplement store to get some protien powder. The parking lot was filled with cop cars, and firetrucks, I was like wtf is going on?  I walk in and I see a gorilla with a shirt on.  The veins on his biceps were as thick as my fingers  :o  he was there to promote the store, as well as make some money off dvd's and autographs.  I ended up getting a signed photo.  The crazy thing was that I had no idea he was going to be there!

I met Matt Duvall in an airport.

He was always scowling in those Muscletech ads, and I envisioned him to be an angry guy.

Instead, he was very nice and willing to talk.

Afterward, I realized he was just coming from a show that he didn't do very well at. All the more reason I was impressed that he was nice.

I guess he's out of the sport now.
