I gotta give the guy his props in terms of bodybuilding. You take a guy only 5'7 that's not as gifted structurally as many of his peers but yet, he outworks many of them and the only guy to stand in his way was the best. Lee Haney. Can't say that about too many bodybuilders today. Props to Gaspari.
I agree! Plus, he held off all the top bodybuilders from the 1980's to place 2nd to Haney three years in a row - Beckles, Makkawy, DeMey, Christian, Labrada, Mike Quinn, Shawn Ray, Phil Hill, Strydom, Brian Buchanan, etc. He did with will and desire and incredible conditioning.
