Good, funny and most likely true sounding post about Palumbo.
Dave had the brains and chance to be a real MD, but dropped out after 2 yrs in med school.
Most guys can't get in to the med school he dropped out of.
Most NPC amatuer bodybuilders never come close to the amount of ripped mass he packed on his
frame.
He had the goods to be a pro but never closed the final deal on that path either.
Dave Palumbo was a good national level NPC bodybuilder in his prime. He is one of the smartest guys
with an awesome depth of knowledge on steroids and nutrition.
Guys with a lot less talent have had more success in the medical field and as bodybuilders.
Not sure why he never could complete the final lap to be a success in various fields he had talent in.

The first 2 years in medical school are all classes. The third year is when you must rotate through various clinics and services and actually get a feel of what a real doctor does. Seeing patients, working insane hours and helping people.

Not of the latter three qualities clearly appealed to Palumbo.

Most people couldn't get into the school he dropped out of? Hardly. He went to a local college that any joe blow could get in to.

The guy is a crook. Shady on the lowest levels.

Google species nutrition images and see what comes up.

The earlier pics aren't that bad...but this one:

is End Of Thread....

Yeah, that pic is classic. I mean, you can't possibly make it any worse. As a matter of fact, in Photoshop even if you try to enlarge the gut, it still comes out smaller than in the original picture!

Gayer than scouring Hungarian bodybuilding repositories for photos of muscular old men.

I don't know about that, I think I read somewhere (don't remember what) that he could do over 850. Now don't ask me to swear in court about that.

Jesus fuck, 850?!

An elite and world-beating powerlifter requires lifting gear to approach such squatting weight, and you think some bodybuilder who has never worn gear and never done direct powerlifting training can do it?!

Oh, not to mention I have seen Dave train in the flesh and there just is NO way he has ever had the strength to squat a full rep, raw, with anywhere close to even seven.

When I was editor at Peak Training Journal (RIP) we got Palumbo to pose for some "hardcore" training shots and he just about got crushed STANDING under 585. If he had bent his knees, it would have been one very fast freefall to the gym floor, let me tell you.

850?!!!

Your post just proves what so many here say: there are a lot of members who either don't lift at all or have next to zero knowledge about anything weight-training related.

850?!!!!

Will Banana's become extinct before Palumbo does? That's the question...

It don't matter! Death is afraid to come get him, because this guy was in 6th grade when Death was a first grader, and he used to bully him in the school bus.

Dave Palumbo might not have gotten his pro card, but god dammit he sure has hell gotten his schmo card

People on this board just LOVE to make fun of guru/bodybuilder celebrity Jumbo Palumbo on a daily basis....

However, when they/YOU (GetBiggers) see him at major events,Expos,shows etc you all have either nice things to say to the man,ask for advices or even willing to pay him to be his clients....

I've been told This young athlete which is Dave new client , posts on this board too...

Have a great weekend.

WOOOSSSHHHHHHHHHH
