Blast from the past

[Coach is Back!]

I was there when this picture was taken as with the other famous Golds picture similar to this one. I am about 90% sure the kid standing on the inside looking out between Bill Grant and Kent Keune (sp) is me. I was 15 then..

[calfzilla]

Awesome you are like a ghost.

[BodyConnoisseur]

Shame you were around those legends and talk so much shit about the sport now

looks like the kid who played Lucan.      

I would have given anything to have been there back in those days.

Coach keeps it very real. He's a top tier poster here.

Why's it a shame? He was younger then. He didn't know the "sport" yet.

He's moved onto an actual SPORT. As in, functional training, which I do as well. I don't agree with the bodybuilding lifestyle at all or using more than 250 mg of hormones weekly even

I don't think you quite understand. 1. It's not a sport. I've never referred to it as a "sport". 2. Those guys you see in that picture are real bodybuilders. They trained and trained hard. Usually twice a day. Most who you see now would get buried in a training session from back then. There was no training "one body part per week" bullshit back then.

Awesome you are like a ghost.

[Coach is Back!]

Haha, a Golds gym apperition. Lol

Functional training is considered a sport too eh?

Pretty awesome, Coach. Never seen that variation of the original photo before.

[Mitch]

I can spot Mentzer and Platz. But who are the others? Bannout?

Please help me to improve my level of Schmoeness 

[gracie bjj]

[Straw Man]

I find it odd that the OP cannot definitively recognize a picture of his 15 year-old self.

yep, especially given that the photo has been around for years

Only 90% sure???  I would think that being in part of such a photo would either be a YES or a NO.   How could you not be 100% sure of being in such a photo with such a large group of bodybuilders?

I would guess that there was hundreds of pics taken that day.   coach has stated for years that he was there that day.  so he is probably just throwing in a disclaimer in case it turns out it was not him in that particular pic.

either way, he is a lucky bastard to have been able to train there during that era.

I was about 15 as well. Remember seeing that shot in the magazines. Didn't get to Gold's until about 10 years later.

[the trainer]

I was there when this picture was taken as with the other famous bodybuilder in pictures similar to this one. I am about 90% sure the arms behind the guy on the right belong to me. I was 22 then..

I've been training since 75'. Do you even train or just go Zumba in your Prius in the Castro Distict?

I was there and up until I saw this last night I thought the only picture that existed was the first one. I also knew I was I the picture. That was around 37 years ago. The black kid in the middle was a teen bodybuilder named Lorenzo Belzer. He was like a mini version of Robby.

Where are the guts and 43" waists???   sumsing is wong.
