The Weider System - Bodybuilding Nutrition And Diet

[MCWAY]

I found this to be interesting. There's a nutrition roundtable or lecture, if you will, with former Mr. Olympia, Franco Columbu, Mike Matarazzo (1991 USA Champion), American Gladiator Raye "Zap" Hollitt and another female bodybuilder whose name escapes me at the moment.

(please keep the flame-spraying to minimum   ).

Lovely vid.

Dr. Columbu breaks it down and makes it plain, though I'm still trying to find out what "breast chickens" are.

Matarazzo ate 5lb of ground beef every single day which caused him a bunch of heart issues so I know that what he said was some scripted garbage....same with everyone else especially Franco who said that the only thing you needed was calories and water.

Franco didn't say the only thing you needed was calories and water. As for Matarazzo, he was talking about his contest diet, not so much his offseason diet, during which he consumed lots of beef.

Plus, Franco's Sardinian. I think he can relate to Matarazzo's big Italian family with big meals.

Any getbiggers using KetoStix?

Marina Pacific Hotel restaurant.

Is it just me or do the early to mid 90's just seem like a more innocent, happier time?

Marina Pacific Hotel restaurant.

So, that's a general restaurant. If you watch the 1991 WBF Championship, the chef of La Facon, Roger Brandston, is portrayed as Gary Strydom's personal chef. Strydom said the restaurant is an extension of his condo.

That was probably when you cut your teeth into bodybuilding. I started in the late 80s; so, I sometimes have the same feeling, especially when the WBF arrived.

That was from the late Shelley "Siren" Beattie. Considering that Muscle & Fitness almost always preached the 60-30-10 deal with carbs, protein, and fat (respectively), I'm surprised that made the cut.

Yup.   That was when I started too.

According to Wiki she hanged herself.  Thats really sad she was only 41.

Didn't she become lesbian after divorcing John Romano?

Holy crap....sad...truly sad

Funny stuff, but man, dose Mike ever look huge in that vid!

There isn't anything in ground beef that can hurt your heart, it's actually heart healthy.

Carbohydrates are what damage your heart, get with the program.

Same here

Same here

My friend left a Muscle & Fitness magazine at my house. What inspired me was that Larry Scott and Betty Weider were on the cover. It showed a previous cover with the two of them in 1968 and an updated picture of them nearly 20 years later.

That did it for me. As usual, the myth you hear about bodybuilding was that all your muscle turns to fat when you get old. Yet, there was a 50-year-old Larry Scott, who was nearly as big as he was in his 30s.

Well, the folks, howling about "pink slime" might disagree with you.

Yes.

[Parker]

Yes.

Damn, even back then Romano drove women to the brink---except that time, she swore off men for good...
