Earliest, and to this day, one of the freakiest mass monsters of all time. So, what was the reason behind him not receiving a pro card? Was it politics or simply that the judges feared he would cause a paradigm shift in the industry had he received the cover and recognition as a pro?

In his prime he was scarily freaky, especially considering his bodyfat levels at 300lbs.

Competition was much thicker back then with less cards. He was very freaky with an ugly structure, he's sort of like the face for bodybuilding going to shit.

He's the founder of palumboism ffs

Because there are some people with genes so bad that even if they take all the drugs on the planet they still wont become a pro.

As was said, Dave was an absolute freak monster (I hung with him in Vegas when he was at his biggest, and the man was well over 300 pounds with VERY thin skin), but his structure just did not do him any favours.

Then, of course, Palumboism set in and it was all over.

At least he be remembered for Palumboism.

Seriously though, it had to be at least somewhat political....

He was ripped to shredsand freaky but competition was much more thick back in along with fewer pro cards available. Truth being told, he could have easily won his pro card at a Master's Division show but with his job as Editor at Muscular Development, he made a wise decision as it paid him much more money

Saw him quest pose years back at outdoors Venice Muscle Beach. He reminded me of a larger Benny Poda. Monster muscle on non aesthetic frame. Terrible back acne. I have had two face to face short conversations with the man. Both times he asked me a favor promising a favor in return. I came thru big time and he turned his back on me. I did get apologies from one of his female assistants.

The founder and CEO of Palumboism... Yes, he was a freak, full of shredded and hard muscles, vascular, but the structure was awful, and his muscle bellies were not great either... Still very impressive in terms of ugly freakiness...

He didn't turn pro because he's a punk bitch who spent most of his time charging $500 for cookie cutter nutrition and bodybuilding programs and setting up bullshit Species supplement company where the supplements did nothing but create lawsuits.

But you don't mean that in a bad way, right?

He should have open up a supp company called "Palumboism" instead of species...I bet it would have done much better...

must be brutal screaming at cats about their capability to hang with a 300lb bodybuilder, only to end up a 160lb broken shitstain selling snake oil, desperately seeking out charlatans to heal a set of failing kidneys.

Placebo deceived himself. Too much medical knowledge isn't exactly a good thing for a competitive bber, just wing the drugs like Wheeler.

Didn't he "drop out from med school" in pursuit of his bb dream?
