Great physique.

RIP

Yes, good physique. Never heard about him, and after looking seems like he had a thing for strange photos. RIP Hebrew.

I was just literally, this week, talking to Craig and remembering just how great a physique this guy had. He trained at Diamond Gym in Maplewood, N.J. and I don't have to tell you guys the serious caliber of physiques that came out of Diamond Gym.

Sean competed but I don't believe he did the top National shows for some inexplicable reason. He looked different standing there in jeans without a shirt than he did on stage and many guys have that drastic apparent change when on stage next to other competitors.

Last I knew, he moved to California to pursue a career in modeling.

RIP how old?

jmt1 · « **Reply #5 on:** September 16, 2015, 03:59:48 PM »

I believe he was 43.

Yes he was an outstanding bodybuilder. He even beat Kai for the overall at the NJ state championships one year. He had moved away from competitive bodybuilding and did a lot of modeling and bodypaint work. He had been out in Europe for a while and was living in Florida when he passed.

Murdered? Killed? or beaten by police to death

Most likely congential heart or kidney defect. Cue sf1900 for the explanation.

One of the early adopters of SEO which will eventually become the number one cause of death of bodybuilders. Foreign substances in body = overworked immune systems = systemic organ breakdown. See silicone leaks in breast implants.

Sean used to write to Musclemag International a lot back in the 90's. The magazine published a lot of his letters.

Desolate · « **Reply #12 on:** September 17, 2015, 04:22:22 AM »

Yeah, Royalty.

I thought that was the same guy.

Didn't he go by the nickname "Ripper" or "Ripster?"

He used to bark about steroids a lot.

Said bodybuilding needed to promote the Lee Labrada and Frnacis Benfatto bodies more and less so the 280lb. gym rats bragging about how many Anadrol 50s they took that day..

You're thinking of Don Ross. His wrestling persona was "Ripper Savage". And he used to write for MD.

Why go from live muscle shows to private skype?

Was it a bonus-service to certain long-time members or were you singled out? (winning a contest)

i actually found him on Skype first from his website and i added him and he accepted he gave really good workout information
as well as nutritional advice free of charge, he was always traveling around Europe and whenever he logged in he always said hey wassup? never strip shows on Skype only muscle shows on live muscle under the name edge which they have
removed all his videos. i just reached out to a friend of his that said he suffered months of seizures and eventually died from
heart failure....they have set up a gofundme page to fly him back to jersey so he can be buried next to his mother that died of breast cancer.

He was a great friend and the best coach I have ever met the amount of knowledge he had about everything was incredible but even more impressive was the fact that he was so humble about it
This has been super tuff for me especially because I would speak to him almost everyday for hours and Kwon is 100% right (What's up my brotha) was always his greeting every time I look at my lab top I see him I will surely miss you Sean
