Golds gyms closings
« on: November 25, 2015, 05:41:01 AM »
I can't find the thread in which stunt was saying the golds in Vegas have closed. Sad day. I'm headed there soon as I do every year. Where's that gym Ruhl was working out in in that video?

I think it's the athletic club or something. Address or location please?

Thanks.

I dread the day I hear Venice closes.

You look like such a star-struck homo in those pics but you were a damn good looking stud. Hopefully you pulled enough ass during the good times to get you through the bad times. Great pics man.

Man those were the days. Glad to just have been there at that time.

I was at Gold's from around 1989-93 and trained around mid morning (9am or so). Got to meet my bbing hero, Mike Mentzer and a bit surprised at his squeaky voice. Also, got to see Flex, Cormier, Dillet and the rest of that posse train. I didn't really follow pro bbing at the time but thought that Flex looked the best of all of them but Dillet was just unbelievably freaky. I remember there was this petite and kind of skinny girl with short blonde hair who I thought was attractive. I was considering if I should make a play or not but decided against it. She just seemed so small and frail looking. It turned out she was Dillet's girlfriend. LOL. Too small for me.  ::)

I suppose it's not really that much of a coincidence that there are several of us here who trained there during that same time period, but it's crazy to think that someone could have come up to you back then and said, hey kid, someday you'll be writing about this on a computer hooked up to others in this gym right now who are scattered all over the country.  Reminiscing about your youth and the good simple times of chicken breast and rice, working out and living the dream.

I was there all that time working out at scattered hours so I'm sure our paths crossed. Awesome times. I don't think there were many pros I didn't meet. I worked out there from lates 80s on.

I pretty much kept to myself although I was involved in a few benefit paper grocery bag drives.
