Probably gold coated, since a Sandow in solid gold would crash through the scene floor.

if it was solid gold, Phil Heath probably wouldn't be able to deadlift it off the floor

It's plated.  Based on the size of the trophy, I'm guessing $25K + its' regular cost.

No, the trophy is bronze, maybe they give it a gold wash, but they will never make the trophy out of Gold. It might be a joke or rumor based on the trophy that Sandow himself gave out during his own contest during the early 20th century,  that one was solid gold for first place, silver for second, and bronze for 3rd. During that time gold was around $18-19 dollars an oz.

I have dealt with trophies. You can get a solid gold finishing touch on the skin of the shell for 10 grand.

I am not on his dick. Phil looked off. He was not that good. Did he win..easily cause weak line up.

It is fucken ghetto trashing someone on a personal level just cause you are a fan of the competitor he beat.. that is no class and trashy.. you are not exactly the classiest guy... no offence but you do fuck discusting prostitutes.. that is pretty ghetto.

So stop the whining. Kai lost and that is that.

Btw send the info so I give the 100bucks I owe u.. I am leaving for vacation. So its now or next week when I come back

Yes, you are on his dick. You've been on his dick for a while. Then you tried to out me when Phil tried to call me out. Its ok. Youre

a phil dick rider I get it. So let me get this straight genius, anyone of any race thats ever fucked a whore is considered "ghetto"? Is that how it works? First off I havent fucked  whore in over 2.5 years, second you may want to redefine what is ghetto and what
isnt because your definition is extremely inaccurate...Ill pm the info. If youre gonna talk shit stay current on my info.

Now word has it you are doing well and are on the right track. Keep it up.

Weider 'Sandow' is much smaller than 1901 Sandow original version.
Joe was selling his Sandow statues in 80's for $ 1000
Not worthy more than $ 400, 1 was sold on Ebay 4-5 years ago for less than $500
Nobody actually knows whats happened with the Golden & Silver statues from 1901 Great Exhibition ??
Eugene Sandow was giving away bronze statues to fitness clubs,royalty,strongmans of his era.
Father of French BB ,Professor Desbonnet use to have Sandows in his clubs , how many ??
Steve Reeves NABBA statue was 1 of those.
Serge Nubret at WABBA Mr.World presented Steve Reeves with Golden 1.
Seig Klein silver Sandow (sold on Ebay) is now in Melbourne gym .
The original bronze (1901) was on London auction 3 years ago, asking price was 8000 pounds (I think ??),but not sold, level of patina &
marble base confirm that was old statue.
How many Sandow statues actually exist ???
I knew about existence of 2 moulds for 1901 statues, I wanted to buy 1 of them & owner told me that he will think about it !.
