Biggest assholes I have met in bodybuilding....

[Primemuscle]

Is no one going to mention Chris Dickerson? Or Bob Paris?

Those holes have to be gigantic!

Do you have inside knowledge?

[Primemuscle]

Didn't someone say he shoved a baseball bat up his ass on film?

I am not going to touch this (post) with a 10 ft. pole....oh, wait.

Me and my buddy Harrishoppedon a Greyhound and were on our way to the contest...........it was mobbed when we got there.

Tons of huge and guys that thought they were  huge all flexing and smelling of Ben Gay and shit !

We saw one animal sitting around before the show and we found out his name was Warren Frederick............... .....a true fucking beast.




Once we saw him,and trust me he was fucking huge in person we knew this show was gonna be a good one.

All of a sudden we heard tons of people laughing,screaming,clapping,and just acting insane.................. ..we looked over the veritable sea of people in back of us and saw a huge guy in sunglasses just towering over the mass of people who were following him..............we found out this was the then little known Lou Ferrigno.

Kids and people asked him questions and he compleely ignred them walking blankly through people like he was  a striding Steve Reeves in a Herculues flick.

Compleely oblivious to anyone who approached him and he didn`t give a shit.

When he spotted Warren Fredericks who he knew from NYC hel ooked worried,then we heard that Leon Brown was entering the contest.

Leon weighed about a buck 80 but looked insane,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,he even beat out Franco for the  Most Muscular trophy once which would not have been an easy task for anyone.

After seeing Leon,Lou went up on stage and stepped on the small raised plaform/podium type of thing they posed on back then.

He ccted like he was so huge that the podium might collapse under his immense weight so he announced to Ed that he wasn`t gonna compete and wasn`feeling well.

He wasn`t feeling well because he knew he would get smoked on that stage.

Leon Brown won the overall contest and took home all of the bodyparts trophys as well as the Most Muscular trophy.

Leon Brown became my inspiration that day and fate allowed me to compete with him at he Masters Nats some 30 or so years later.

We shot the shit for over an hour or so...........a true bb legend....while Lou was an insolent clod to everyone there.


No $20 pics back then with that attitude for sure.

It seems strange that he was afraid to compete against Leon Brown.....     because within a year he was competing against Arnold & Nubret in South Africa

I'm not as old as you long teef wheezers, so here is my list.

Nicest : Vince Taylor, Paul Baker, Lee Haney (he had been retired a long time at this point).

Smelliest : Bill Wilmore or whatever his last name was.  Man that dude would use a piece of equipment, the next person had to wipe it down with disinfectant (he never did) and you could still smell his sour stank on it 20 minutes later.  Worked out in Hollywood FL and constantly tried to "hook you up".

Rudest : Jeff "Box" Long.  Mike Quinn.

Dumbest :  Rashid Shabazz.  Stan McCrary.  Both of those were dumber than a box of hair.

Funniest : Paul Baker.  You would laugh so hard it was basically cardio.

Weirdest : Chris Duffy.  Forget the gay shit.  This dude was flat out in deep space nine in the head.  I moved to Ft Lauderdale at age 22 when I got my grad degree and he was here working as a bartender at a couple of gay bars.  Employment never lasted long.  He was just being "Chris Duffy" and marched to his own beat.  I would run into him late night at Peter Pan diner and he would always stop and chat.  Dude was racist without being racist if that makes sense.  Told me a lot of stories about his IFBB Pro days.  Like Joe Weider taking him to the gym and never taking his hand off his bicep for about three hours.  Chris had this diet belief that one should eat according to their blood type.  He never used HGH until his comeback attempt at the Masters (I believe) and then he fucked up with it by taking it after every meal, so basically he never saw any benefit.  He tried working as an escort but would get so fucked up that he would leave the other guy's place and forget to take his money.  ETc...

[wes]

Read the book Pumping Iron..............some of it is in there.

Leon competed and trained with Corney,Arnold.Franco Pete Caputo and a slew of guys who would have easil ybeaten a young Lou.
 
He was huge,but not refined .

[wes]

I bought some posing trunks at a shop in Boca Raton Fla. and the shopowner was totally petrified of Chris Duffy...............said he was always high on Valium to come down off of cocaince and was a generally nuttynutcase.

Jeff “transplanted kidney” long

[che]

What about Craig Titus , was he an asshole 

[Matt]

Levrone is indeed a very odd dude, I don’t think he’s an asshole by any means but def odd, like missing a few screws. Could be drunk half of the time too

Ronnie was a funny fucker, he was all godly and preached god this and that but he loved going to strip clubs, was at strip clubs a lot during the early 2000’s and would joke about going to church the next day haha

I'm starting to wonder about that too - just how often was Kev drunk at contests. He admitted to using vodka to cut, and giving Ronnie his first shot [I think his first] during the 1997 GP series, to help him cut. Ronnie was 33 then, lol. I had my first drink at 21, and thought I was old.

Seems like Kev used hard liquor to cut - at least sometimes. By his own admission in the King Ronnie movie on Netflix.

I might add some anecdotes from some of the other guys that I listed as cool guys soon.

[Vince B]

My list: Arnold, Paul Graham, Frank Zane, Bob Hoffman.

[Powerlift66]

My list:
Arnold - Self centered dink.
Paul Graham - Don't know anything about his personality.
Frank Zane - Aloof, bizarre.
Bob Hoffman - Odd / crazy bully

Easily believable ^^.

[Matt]

His name is Chris, right?

He's a bender, if my memory is correct.

[Humble Narcissist]

My list: Arnold, Paul Graham, Frank Zane, Bob Hoffman.

Even Bob Hoffman's wife hated him.  Refused to even have him buried after he died.

I read that Chris Duffy covers an array of random irrelevant topics in one conversation. He must be hard to follow.

He is almost 60 years old and apparently still alive.

Did you ever train at the World Gym off of Federal? I was in high school at the time when Paul Baker was in there. He’d always be by the front farting and eating Burger King but seemed like a friendly guy.

[funk51]

best thread in years keep the stories coming.

[LurkerNoMore]

I bought some posing trunks at a shop in Boca Raton Fla. and the shopowner was totally petrified of Chris Duffy...............said he was always high on Valium to come down off of cocaince and was a generally nuttynutcase.

That is not true.  Chris said many times (and his friends did too) that he never did coke (or heroin).  He was strictly a severe pot and mushroom head.  He actually owned a huge mushroom farm at one point of time with some other guys.  He never really went into details about it, just talked about the various types and shit, but I heard another person say once that one of the guys that owned it with him was murdered and the case never solved.  I do not know how true that story is.  But I do know he did own the farm.  And he was a chronic pot head, smoking all day.  A doctor up in NY once moved him in for about 7 months to live with him and he (the doctor) smoked a lot of pot himself.  But he told me that Chris was like a chimney.  He would get so blazed up that he had to have a couple of adderall and coffee to make it to the gym.  He often went long periods without actually training, he just had good genetics.  But then at times, he would go clean in one day, stay clean for a long time (5-6 months) and hit the gym hard, get in shape, become popular with the people around him and suddenly... back to the mushroom and pot fog.

Jeff “transplanted kidney” long

I think you mean Don Long.  I am referring to the short pro whose nickname was "Box".  I think it was Jeff.

I read that Chris Duffy covers an array of random irrelevant topics in one conversation. He must be hard to follow.

Yes, his mind really out there.  He would go from diet tips to an idea of building a better light bulb, to how cell phones caused brain cancer, to politics in Rwanda, to how our gov't could more easily control our population unlike China, if they started imbedding long term birth control in tattoo ink and cigerettes.  
Mushrooms had really fried his mind.

Did you ever train at the World Gym off of Federal? I was in high school at the time when Paul Baker was in there. He’d always be by the front farting and eating Burger King but seemed like a friendly guy.

Yeah.  Then went over to Golds but it quickly became "Zoo" and everyone left.  I've never encountered him farting, but back then at Worlds and Gold's he had this small ass Honda Civic hatchback.  It had to be an 89 or something.  I don't know how he crammed 300lbs into that thing without a shoehorn to get in and a can opener to get out.  Paul is a very nice guy, but he was/is very poor.  Coming from Jamaica he had practically nothing in his pockets.  He trained people for money but never got much.  His cycles were laughably small dose.  I honestly think that if he had access to funds for drugs and food... he could have been the next Dillet.  Dude had great potential but lack of $$$ held him back.

[LurkerNoMore]

When I have more time, I will post a few stories about that fucking no good toe rag Kenny Jones.  That dude tried a million different hustling schemes and failed at everyone of them.
