Casey was in his absolute best condition for the 82 Olympia that Dickerson won. He was using about 15 sets a body part according to David Young who trained in the same gym.

ya, I've got that contest in a 1979 muscle builder/power. that mag became muscle and fitness in 1980.

Robby didn't compete in the 1982 Olympia, i'm pretty sure.

His claim to fame was the age on which he won an important competition. Apart from that...the rest is quite average (relatively speaking).
The Colorado experiment was a PR hoax, exeggerated numbers, he inflated himself by tripling the dosages only for Arthur Jones' media campaign to sell more fitness machines.

Agreed, he never again dominated the way he did in his youth.. What he should be particularly acknowledged for is being the best built teen of all time...

Let us just give Viator our respect, dudes...

You don't even respect yourself. If you did, you wouldn't be at here lying and telling folks you're a physician. You're an assclown.

I am a huge Casey fan, and I think that Colorado experiment was awesome, but.......

in the first pic he looks about 10% bodyfat (17lbs.) they say that in the 28 days he lost 17lbs. bodyfat. so for him to have gained 63 lean muscle pounds, he would have to have 0% bodyfat at the end of the experiment.

Still kinda young in my book.

Too bad.

The most recent pics I've seen he wasn't looking so great so I'm kind of not surprised. Weird.

RIP

always liked Viator

Casey was no doubt a genetic marvel but he also looks like someone who started using very early in life

Look at Arnold and Mentzer as 19 year olds. They already 95% of the size at that time and after only a few years of serious training (maybe 3 or 4 at the most)

Sad news. Very powerful physique.

I just emailed him recently. I asked if he'd send an autographed picture for the gym. He said of course. Dam. I wish I would have done it sooner.

he went from a buck 66 to 212, but his bodyfat seems to have stayed about the same, or maybe it went down just slightly

it's claimed that his starting bodyfat was 14% which it wasn't, he's more like 8-9% at the start and they claimed his ending bodyfat was 3% LOL again it's more like 8-9%
