Russ Testo still guest posing
« on: October 06, 2019, 07:37:56 PM »
He used to look good and he was a pretty good guest poser , he even  guest posed in the 1981 Mr Olympia , now he looks like shit and poses like shit ,I can't believe some promoters still pay him to do it , it's embarrassing .

That is kind of sad to watch. But schmoes will be schmoes and they will pay to watch him and if he can make money doing what he loves so be it.

Ok, I’ll be the outlier here. He’s got to be at least in his early 60’s, that being said the dude looks phenomenal.

I agree,not easy to be in such good shape at that age..........or any age for most people.

That's not the point , yeah he looks good for his age but he doesn't have an impressive physique or  a great routine to be a guest poser , actually his posing routine sucks.

Quiet guy. Would see him pose at the AOBS dinner each year (which was awkward).
Very religious. 1st time we met, he sat beside me, noticed all the skull and death tattoo's, made an excuse that he had to go talk to someone, and never returned to the table for the dinner.
Thought I was some sort of killer I guess.  ::)

Became friendly after that since the dinner was yearly and everyone got to know everyone. He would send a Xmas card for years w/ a very religious note scribbled inside. (Sky wizard stuff).
All around, a soft spoken, nice dude.

Always in shape.

I'll give it to him on physique. Does anyone know if he's married, etc....? The posing is a bit too interpretive dance like for me, but I guess some like it.

Kinda like this one -

Exactly.

We need to be realistic about what how many bodybuilding fans are benders.

Looks like shit? He looks fantastic for his age. That alone I can see why he still guest poses. If he had hair he’d look better than 95% of people in their twenties

It would be great to look as good as he does.

Never understood this guy and the appeal.

What, like it’s high art to flex muscles? No matter how artsy-fartsy, it’s still just a near-naked dude hamming it up.

Another says he’s a nice guy and all religious, etc., but still, you have to wonder about a guy like this.

Shit puts me right off.

i saw him in the 80s at some pro show I can’t remember which one. He was actually pretty entertaining back then. Doesn’t look like he has the moves that he used to but he is older now.

When you were a kid, imagine one of your dad’s fathers behaving this way.

60 something years old dancing around a stage flexing his muscles in booty shorts.

I'll go ahead and start the list with those shorts on an adult man.

Tuss Resto was a great poser back in the 80s.

Prancing around on a stage could be #2.

Amazing shape if natural.  Where do you find sparkly booty shorts? Bodybuilding is just strange.
