Man, he was a great friend and ally of the sport for many years running ALRI Industries. Lived life on his own terms and one of the baddest mother fuckers ever to walk into the bodybuilding scene. Never forget fellow Getbiggers.

He was actually quite a liar & pompous ass who's body was filled with synthol.

I have a friend who was in business with him & the stories he told me made my head spin.

Author/Scott was not a not a great friend and ally of the sport for many years & was not very well liked

Another brand of useless supplements that was popular for a day because of Heavy Muscle Radio's marketing efforts and another bodybuilder dead from stuffing his body full of everything but the stuff he was selling.

RIP, Arthur! And my condolences to his friends and family!

Can someone send me some background material on Mr. Rea and his contribution to the world of bodybuilding?

To be honest .... I've never heard of him before.

He wrote a bunch of drug articles and books under a pseudonym and gained some notoriety, used language that sounded learned and scientific but wasn't really. Launched a supplement company selling "legal" steroids, sometimes mislabeled, sometimes he sold herbals containing undeclared anabolic steroids... which were heavily marketed towards young kids. Then he transitioned to selling magical amino acids with ads that sounded scientific but were full of BS. My opinion on his "style" wasn't very favorable. Shady is the word that comes to mind.

Here's an example of his business practices

Decent muscle mass. Stats? How did he expire?

Shady with a capital S.

Trust me when I say he won't be missed by too many people that personally knew him.
