When did Dave Palumbo START showing signs of Palumboism?

Serious question. He once looked pretty good. When did he first show signs of the disease that's named after him?

Still can't believe he never turned pro. Shows how much harder the competition was back then and how much it has deteriorated since then.  :-\

He was the OG freak, breaking the 300lbs barrier.

Those pics are all from 1995ish.

By the late 90's, his body had started changing.

Slightly off topic, but I was watching some old MTV clips, and ran into a wild Palumbo sighting here at 8:17 - 18 -

.

That would've been 94 - early 95.

I still can't believe he's still alive, he had the same purple skin in the 90s as Curtis Leiffler did, Curtis past away a long time ago, Palumbo still going, I would go as far as to say palumbo was worse, body just looked like it was starving for oxygen. Dark purple dots on a less dark purple background, used to see them both in Venice back in the day, their skin looked like red wine.

Dave still maintains he only used 1g/week of test and 2IU/day of GH as his base.

Dude, I actually remember this from around the sixth grade or something. I remember they did a follow up with those dudes when I was in college and I think they're both married with kids. Dudes were creepers in their van.

It probably started when he upped the dose after realizing his chances of earning a pro card was becoming less likely with each passing year. Whatever it takes, right babe?

Ha, I saw it around the same time. Here's their part for those that needs something to watch, it's a fun time capsule of the early 90's -

Why not just type the word “bump” like other people do? Bumping your own gimmick shit by finally laughing at a joke that was told 2 years ago.
