Is Joe's fly open? What a schmoe. You can practically see the drool running down his mouth.

Hahaha holy shit. It is actually open. Surprised his little pecker wasn't poking out while standing right next to this beefcake. It should also be noted that the bad guy from No Country for Old Men is in the background.

closer to 5 ft 2 and 160 pounds......a world class build and placed 2nd at the Olympia twice!!

Claimed to be 5'4". He was taller than 5'2"-5'3" Danny Padilla, who was the same height as Franco Columbo who claimed to be 5'5"!!! haha

I had never heard of him until this thread.

What an incredibly beautiful physique.

How did this sport become what it is? It was so glorious. It's astounding what can be done with the human physique.
If you've never heard of him you're not really a bodybuilding fan. Hell, you're not really a female either so we shouldn't be suprised.

He personally sold me the first protein powder I ever bought from his little store on Steeles Ave. in Toronto almost 25 years ago.  I think the stuff was called "Huge." haha

what about adolf zeigner as well no one ever talks about him. he is the one who introduced arnold s to vodka before going onstage to calm the nerves. mm worked with vince gironda when he went on one final run for the top titles but could neber make up for his lack of height.
yup. That's wen vg demanded mm stop all squatting. He also only allowed  mm to do wider grip flat benches to the base of the neck and I think no direct hamstring work. Mm said he would sneak squats anyway.

If you look at his left front pocket you can see a condom joe was planning on using after the posing practice

That looks more like Ken "Dakota" Sprague, owner of Gold's Gym and homosexual porn star.  Gross.

As for Makkawy, he is one of the all time greats and looks wider than Phil.

Makkawy was a prick, but a good Gironda product. I was a meter from him in the mid 90's. Surprisingly short, maybe 5 ft 3. Still on gear and ripped but size wise not that impressive in a shirt.

Makkaway also had very good forearms for a man of his stature.

Vince Gironda claimed in his book the wild physique that Makkawy would do 8sets of 8 reps on each exercise. Great build.

Yeah, the mid 90's, which was far past his prime. If you had met an early 80's Makkawy, it would have been a different story.
