It always cracked me how so many worshiped Vic Richards as the greatest thing in BB back in the 90's.
He never competed as a pro bodybuilder and was given his pro card when he won the IFBB Nigerian nationals ( true story).

This was the runner-up...

I saw Vic lifting a 30.000 calorie meal over his head - unbelievable strength.

Well,not in this video,granted he doesn`t look as big as i`ve seen him before,but he`s still a decent size,but he struggles with 2 and a half plates on incline and the dumbell presses are a waste of time.

The vid cuts while he is sitting at the incline, we have no idea If he went for more..

Also, like meso had said, he looks young, this is not the early to mid 90s monster, but a mid 80s bbing growing into the "legend".

If your cock was as thick and black as his, you wouldn't care about lifting heavy either.

Gayer than asking for directions

Good incline press, though he could've had a bit better ROM on that chest day.

no it doesn't you can lift semi light, go for high reps, switch up some stuff, not lift too heavy, because in the end if you lift like an idiot like branch or ronnie you end up with permanent nerve damage. Bob Chic will tell you lifting heavy has nothing to do with bodybuilding, I think your thinking of power lifting.

Drugs play a much greater role in the bigger and harder look.

A body trained on light weights will not look the same as one trained with heavy weights, you cannot get that powerful hulking looking physique without being strong regardless of how much drugs you take. You need to do more visual research.

SERIOUSLY Billy I know plently of thick mofos that lift light and if you saw them you would not be able to tell how "light" they lifted. Most people who see big guys who lift light somehow seem to convince themselves that their muscles look different.

Could you list a few examples of these guys bodyweight and what type of workouts they do/weight they're lifting?

... I used to see him in person back then when he was at his biggest. Dude is no joke-and he is very strong. Whether he competed or not as a pro, he is still one of the most freakish guys I ever saw at Golds, or anywhere for that matter.

Dillet is probably the biggest genetic freak of all time. He's the exception not the rule.

JP_RC · « **Reply #43 on:** July 05, 2011, 08:14:45 AM »

IMO heavy is relative, a weight that is heavy for a person may not be for another and vice-versa. For development train in the 8-15 rep range in good form with weights that allow you to stimulate proper growth in that rep range. To say "heavy" weights produce a different look than "light" is stupid. Because what is heavy and what is light? It depends on the person.

Of course, we're not talking in absolutes. But if you want to make continued progress in bbing you have to get stronger. Strength is not some attribute to be ignored.

I think Fred Hatfield and the Westside Barbell company agree with this theory too...

It only matters if you actually want to get bigger. If you want to do the same weight and stay the same size for years on end it doesn't matter.

THIS IS INCORRECT.

you do not need progressively heavier weights to incur muscle growth.

In my own experiences in natural bbing you do. How else are you supposed to put on muscle? Go and get a pump?

even juiced bodybuilders need to get stronger. if they dont get stronger they dont grow (growing=getting stronger [a biggger muscle= a stronger muscle] ).

that being said, they dont actually have to train heavier necessarily if they are juiced to the max and have good genetic response. but most guys need to focus on slowly building up the weights over time, even on juice.
