Dear Old School Lifter,
Thank you for the compliment and here are my again, honest answers;
1) I have never competed in a BB competition because I am unqualified to do so. I could never put on that type of size and get that ripped.
I have no calves. And when I say I have no calves, it's not like when you guys bust Dennis Wolf or whomever it is, I actually don't have muscular
development around my calves. In my defense, 1) You don't need calves to get laid 2) I entered a Hot Body Contest in Daytona Beach during Spring Break and it was probably the most
awesome thing I ever did on a number of levels and 3) No one ever won a fight by having big calves.
One day, if anyone cares, I will tell what I think was a very funny story regarding my desire to get calf implants and the G4P (that's gay for pay I think)
that they wanted with it.
2) I was introduced to bodybuilding just shy of my 13th birthday. A friend of my family used to travel to some place in Ohio, by himself, once a year to go watch
"some bodybuilding show." Everyone thought he was strange because he got huge and he was, at that time, in his mid 30's. As a Bar Mitvah gift, I got a training lesson
from him and he advised my parents to buy me a home bench press with the leg extension on the end and some skinny York plates, barbell and dumbbells. I thought I
was going to look like Franco Columbo only because I too, was short. Hey, I was 12, what did I know? I read the magazines and would train but stop and then train but
stop. The day I graduated High School weighing only 88 pounds, I turned to everyone and said, "You will never bully me again" and then I devoted myself to serious
weight training and martial arts.
3) I had been training karate and kickboxing for perhaps 18 years and then realized that I was missing a ground game and began training BJJ with Mike Mrkulic, David Adiv and Royler
Gracie and then continued and moved on with others and quickly turned it into MMA as well.
4) As far as "finding time," I consider time my most valuable asset. I took up painting 2 years ago, I study languages, I took up piano 7 years ago and those things, along with my gym
time with Craig and my BJJ/MMA time leave me hard pressed for "free time." I do own my own law practice to which I devote about 60 hours per week. And yes, I do run my own charity for mentally and physically challenged kids. As far as my wife, I am fairly recently married. My wife is Brazilian (I only speak Portuguese to her but she is learning English of course) and she is very understanding. The first day I met her, I spelled out all my flaws and "proclivities" which I could not or was not willing to change. She said she could accept them and thus, I continued to be with her. Interesting note, before meeting my wife, I was technically engaged to her sister, a 5 year younger version of my wife who is practically an identical twin. My wife, understanding men and my own issues, has no issues when the 3 of us get together. Yes, that is what I am saying- just what you are thinking- NO issues.
5) Lastly, "the 3 biggest bodybuilders I've ever met" is a difficult one to answer because they were all huge in the 80's and off season did not mean "off" season if you know what I mean.
In an effort to answer the question, I know Paul Dillet was a frighteningly massive person. He was just like a dinosaur. Another guy you wouldn't think was an off season Lee Priest. Now before
you guys go nuts, Lee Priest was one of the biggest short guys I've ever seen in my entire life. He "appeared" to weigh 280 at 5'4 feet tall. The other guy was Paul DeMayo. He stood up to greet
me and his hand swallowed my whole arm. He was huge, dense and thick. He had dimension to him and if you guys ever see what I mean by "dimension", you know that few bodybuilders, especially of
today, have "dimension."
