Just much younger there.

Back in those days in just about all weight classes they had some fucking wars onstage.

Almost everyone looked great.

So true....I don`t even think they played music there,believe it or not.

So much better than todays bullshit gym idiots.

Joe Gold didn't believe in music in the gym. I'm not sure if Ken Sprague played tunes when he took over. Great thread !!!

Almost everyone looked great.
can tell its rich cause of chest and quads, but the angle and the big hair, at 1st doesn't look like him!

Unbelievable wars like you say, what a time for bbing
