Epic training at gyms that also feature as members old ladies looking to "tone" their flabby tris.
No pro bodybuilder should share lifting space with twink men and women.
Hell, lift in your garage if you have to.
Oh, and Nasser looks like shit, relatively speaking.
Agreed. The SEO use in his arms was pretty obvious even at this point.
Rob, I recall many years ago that you watched Nasser incline pressing and you "marveled" at the fact Nasser struggled with 315. Does my memory trick me?
I've heard conflicting accounts of the man's strength. Matarrazzo, who I always thought was pretty much a dim-bulb and full of shit, claimed Nasser was enormously strong during the commentary for one of El Sonbaty's Olympia appearances (2000?). Dante Trudel said he was the strongest leg presser in his gym unless Nasser was around.
But then, during some bogus Weider vs. Muscletech bench-off, we saw Nasser do 15 reps with 225 on the flat bench and quit. I'm sure he had some kind of long-winded rationalization for that after the fact. In fairness, his reps were slow, perfect and even the last one looked effortless -- but right AFTER he did his 15 and quit, he took the mic and made some bullshit excuse about being used to benching close to 600 lbs. or something and not having any endurance
Later on I think he came up with a story that he "threw" the contest.
Frankly, I don't believe anything he says. Everyone who really knows him says he has this twisted habit of bullshitting people to the extreme, then laughing at them behind their backs when they hurry off to follow his advice.
I think a lot of gh15, but FUCK the googly-eyed, ugly-ass man in glasses. He was a great bodybuilder before his battered wife finally left him. Then, he started training like a wanker and stuffed all kinds of shit in his shoulders and arms to try and compensate.
