You must have missed the postwhere i stated Lyle Alzado deadlifted 765 at Gold's Gym Venice. Lyle was strong as f**k. Lyle might not have been the bench pressers that the BB were-but he had them on deadlifts for sure.

And he was a nut-I dont think anyone at Venice could have kicked his ass.

Am I wrong but was there a story about Lyle going after the of the Barbarian Bros. at one time?

Not Havvey Keitel, but it is Joe Nazario who is located somewhere on the East Coast. Anyone still in contact with Joe  or know how to contact him?
.
Yea, there was a story on one of the Boards about the Bros and Alzado

Oh yeah...we have gone over that story a few times here, the problem is no one has the first hand info on it (as in saw it with their own eyes).

The version I heard was the Brothers lost a bet on a Raider game and would not pay up-and Alzado knocked one out and the other one ran for cover.

Onlyme got word form Grymko that there was no fight at all really, and the abuse of the Gold's Venice equipment was what started it.

I find this hard to believe b/c Alzado himself abused the fuck out of the equipment at Gold's Venice.

Who knows though-after 20+ years only the Brothers can give us a straight answer-considering Lyle is long gone.....

Well I think I told it a little on here.  Ia sked Pete and he told me.  It was orginally about the twins were staying at Lyle's house and they were fucking around and broke a very expensive mirrored wall.  It cost a few thousand dollars.  They refused to pay for it or something like that cause it was an accident or something and Lyle got pissed at them.  Not sure if any actual blows came.  I remember the story I heard originallly was the abuse of equipment at Gold's set him of on them.

have any of you guys heard the story that John Romano told about Alzado throwing the lawyer off of the leg extension machine at Gold's in the early 90's sometime, supposedly the guy sued Gold's and Lyle.

I never heard that one..........but I will tell you right now Alzado was one BIG muthafocker-and had a bit of an attitude, so it would not have been a good idea to aggrevate him...lol.....

yeah 619 the story was in an issue of MD about 10 years ago, Romano says that him and Lyle were in the gym training legs when Alzado was trying to make a comeback with the Raiders, some guy about 140lbs. wouldn't get off the extension when Lyle was trying to do supersets so Lyle picked him up and threw him about 10 feet, haha.

He actually got the bar several inches off his chest. Unbelievable.

Joe Weider was notoriously cheap and he could not find anyone who had a HS diploma to work for him....hence the poor math skills ;D

The story about Lyle Alzado knocking out the Barbarians in the parking lot at Gold's was made up by the Barbarians. The Barbarians were getting negative press from the Weider mags at the time and no matter how many positive articles were sent to Weider for publication, he would not run them. They both felt their was a conspiracy against them. In order to prove their theory, David and Peter made up a letter to the editor with the fictional story about Lyle Alzado and sent it to one of the mags, betting that it would be put in the mag. Sure enough, it was! This was told to me by David Paul in 1981.

Lyle Alzado was not training at Gold's Venice in 1981............and there were never any letter to the editor about this event.....

You have a great memory.

Hurricane, I don't remember which Weider mag it was in, Flex or Muscle and Fitness. Also, I could be off a year or so on the year David told me that. That was such a long time ago.
