Good for him. He has his health, his joints are good, no oil stuck in his body. He can move on without dialysis, organ transplant waiting lists, etc...

Exactly. He is loving life!

Can some dickweeds stop saying "just the finishing touch" every time they see a guy who is smaller than he used to be.

This comment would only be relevant if they still trained and ate the same way.  Anyone of us who competed and then moved on in life knows that only one in a hundred of us does that, the rest slow down and other priorities take over.

Being really big should be a stage in life and at some point you need to back off a bit. 

This. It's just not a priority any more. I'd much rather be lean and look healthy than be 'big'. As I said before,  if 'big' was a priority,  I'd pick the needle up like 100% of the 'big' guys here and keep at it. Funny to think and remember how important it used to be. Having abs = still very important. Having shape = very important. Being rich and happy, THE most important.

That was a fucking physique! (girls loved him/guys wanted to be him) 

[Simple Simon]

Someone gave me copies of the 84 and 85 Olympia back in 87 and he was the only one that I saw and thought, If I could get anywhere near that physique I would be happy.

This photo always makes me stop for a minute. (full on homo)

Paris was one of the very best.

Bob Kennedy told me that during his best years, NO ONE looked as big and as awesome as Paris did in the gym. He was strong, too, apparently. Set after set of squats with 500 pounds.

He was tall, good looking, had clean lines, a tight waist, proportion ... Guy really had it all.

The only Olympia where the competitors were weighed was 88 and Paris was one of the bigger guys competing at 229 lbs

This really speaks to how bodybuilding has changed over the years. A 6' tall bodybuilder weighing 229 lbs. probably wouldn't stand a chance of even placing at most of today's pro-bodybuilding competitions.

His book was awesome... There is a chapter where he talks about flying to a show can't remember if it was to compete or guest pose, but he was getting hammered and telling the passenger sitting next to him all about what it's like being a top tier bodybuilder and what his life was like, living the dream etc, was really cool

Legendary shot. Unsurpassed even 30 years later. Crazy.

Without the massive bloat, gigantic gut and excess organ growth, most of the modern guys wouldn't weigh much more, truthfully.

Of course without that drug use no one would have heard of him or want to buy the book he wrote.

The candor in his retirement of a truly great bodybuilder like Dorian Yates is refreshing when compared to someone like this.

You can end up doing lots of things you don't like. I don't like doing dishes or waking up early, but the end result is what people are after. And for Bob, after years of enduring the drug use and homophobic IFBB officials he realized that it really wasn't worth it to him anymore. I applaud him for saying "fuck it" and truly getting out of the game.

I can begin to imagine all the different sorts of struggles he had to endure. Look at his fucking perfect physique and then look at the fact that he really left bodybuilding for good. Put it all behind him entirely. He looked absolutely stunning. Very few physiques surpassed his, and he left it all behind. So many bodybuilders blow out a kidney and still can't stop injecting because they feel small. Look at Kris Dim for example - paralyzed, heart attacks, aortic valve explosion or some sort of catastrophic cardiac event... dude flexes his arms like there's no tomorrow despite having 12" upper thighs whenever a camera is around. Total mind fuck.

At least Bob's toil and torment was only mental. He's the type who looks at adversity like that and allows it to build character, then moves on. He's healthy, shifted to another art form to express himself and enjoy life and put bodybuilding behind him. When I came off all the juice I read his book another couple of times and it helped me to deal with being skinny fat. I wish he'd write some more. The book can be read in an evening or two and I think he knew a lot of stupid bodybuilders would be reading it.

[Ronnie Rep]

Went to the nationals in Miami in 85. Rory and Matt were supposed to compete. Was really disappointed that I never got to see either one of them on stage live.

[Ronnie Rep]

How is Rory looking these days? Coach, I know you have trained with him in the past.
