Just to make this bodybuilding related, toward the end of the film when Leroy is fighting the hired goons, one of them that gets a bit of screen time is Gary Aprahamian, who was on his way to becoming a famous powerlifter till his size cut him shortly after the film -

BB, what do you mean by this line?

"till his size cut him shortly after the film"

He died shortly after the film?

That should read "till his size cut him down", I forgot the "down" in the sentence.

They filmed the film Spring - Summer of 84, and opened it in Spring of 1985. I remember him passing right around then.

Gary and I were friends. 5'10" 355 I believe. Crazy funny strong fucker. Met him at the 1981 Teenage Nationals., in Little Rock, Arkansas. Big fun.

PIP Gary.

Taimak Guarriello is an actor and martial artist. He starred in Barry Gordy's film The Last Dragon in the early 80's. Besides being a fan of his career, I have also always admired him for keeping fitness a priority in his life. Taimak was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to answer a few questions about how fitness fits into his life.

TF: Could you tell us a little bit about your background and how you got started in martial arts?

Taimak: When my father was a young man raising myself and my other siblings he was studying martial arts himself with one of his good friends, Gerald Orange. I was very young (6years old) when he started me and my brother with Gerald. And as I grew older I began learning martial arts from many other martial arts experts, I traveled to Japan and studied with two others. I grew up in New York and at that time it was a very tough city so I also studied Kickboxing and won the New York State kickboxing title when I was 18 years old. That is when I became a fitness fanatic, I wanted to be in the best shape ever!

TF: What is your current fitness program like?

Taimak: I'm older now and don't have to put long hours in like I used to. I only train 5 days a week for 1 and a half hours a day. It consists of my own Chi (Inner strengthening exercises), strengthening exercises that may consist of weights and/or calisthenics and stretching exercises.

TF: How would you describe your nutrition program?

Taimak: I'm somewhat of a vegetarian in that I only eat one meat, seafood. I make sure to stay away from sugar and white flour products as much as possible. I look to eat a salad a day consisting of many colorful fresh vegetables and whole grain foods as well. I eat two, to three nice size meals a day and I also have healthy snacks between meals. Dates, fresh fruit, healthy nutritional/protein bars.

...

TF: What are some of your favorite exercises?

Taimak: Running, jumping rope, stomach exercises. Tell you the truth it's all fun to me. It adds years of healthy living to my life!

...

TF: Is there a fitness myth that you would like to debunk?

Taimak: Yes, don't workout every day is a myth. If you're getting your rest and you feel great, that's your measure right there!
