RIP David Paul - Barbarian Brother

[Matt]

ok I am a fan haha

LOL.  Rhode Island is a small state.

There is an island in Rhode Island called Aquidneck, Rhode Island.

There is an island in Aquidneck Island, Rhode Island, called Hen Island, Aquidneck Island, Rhode Island.

Zooming in using Google maps, there is a little house on Hen Island in Aquidneck Island, Rhode Island.  

I want to live in that house.

they're all right guys, peter can be coherent when he wants to be. sad to hear about david though.

Gives new insight to the old sayings "Weights before dates, bros before hoes"

They are staring off into space ignoring the dead bitch on the ground.

If they were insane they were high functioning.  David built his house by himself and had a career as a photographer.  Peter is definitely a little strange and I don't know what he did for a living after movies.  They had incredible genetics for pulling pussy (no homo).

I'm not a psychiatrist but Peter's word salads do not seem like something he was switching on for the cameras. That and the rags he dressed in, the stupid dances and nunchuck and knife plays. Perhaps meth induced psychosis, I don't know.
Someone on here probably knows stuff about them so maybe they can chime in.

I do give them props for moving from Rhode Island to Venice golds and training and being bodybuilders (they did what they loved)

 but one needs an exit strategy from this sport

prolly could have made an a good WWF tag team back in the 1980s and 1990s

I'm drunk but what he's saying here makes sense.
Now I wonder what the cause of death was because he looked pretty good physically for his age there.

Wow, that would have been cool - two jacked twins.  I wonder if someone had told Vince McMahon about them whether or not the trajectory of their lives would have been completely different.  That said, wrestling doesn't necessarily bode well for longevity either.

Thinking about it now...I'm reminded of when Mike and Ray Mentzer died in June of 2001.

[Van_Bilderass]

His voice sounds like Flex Wheeler

The pituitary releases acid. The secret is to be alkaline, bodybuilding is acidic, protein is acidic so those things are bad. The moon is alkaline though. Some deep wisdom right there.

Videos like this aren't very uplifting to me even if he talks about love and stuff like that.

hard core bbing, powerlifting, pro wrestling etc etc you need an exit strategy -

Lee Haney did a great job, Dorian did a good job

From Samir Bannout's facebook:

I am saddened by the passing of one of my dear friends n training partners David Paul...Dave n I met in 1979 and we quickly became close friends...We trained together for several contests prep, he was very positive & extremely strong.

Once, we decided to train at 2 AM for one of my contest preps...I got the keys for the Marina Athletics Club just for us...and when everyone was asleep n snoring, David n I were in a war with the weights... he pushed me way beyond the limit...

We made this decision to train in late hours because I wanted to be extremely focused, didn’t want any outside interference ...David was always there for me n our workouts weren’t your usual workout you normally see @ gyms ...our workouts were very tough, you can say they were complete insanity n torture... the last time I spoke with David was one week ago, he was in good health, we always discussed the most advanced holistic way of living healthy..he really was in fantastic health... I was shocked when I found out about his passing yesterday, I first thought it was just a silly rumor but later it was confirmed....I will miss him and his influence greatly...My condolences to his family and friends... May his soul Rest In Peace

[Ronnie Rep]

Oh shit RIP. Another one bites the dust.

[Primemuscle]

Maybe it's best he passed away young instead of being old and decrepit.

One can get old without becoming decrepit.

[Fortress]

Shared a workout and meals with both brothers.

They are my original muscle heroes.

RIP David 

[tommywishbone]

Big strong motherfuckre at one time. We were friends in real life. RIP David.

Peter is quite literally insane. No question. No discussion. Insane.

[rocket]

I was training at Golds during their time. Sad. RIP

I don't have time to take this excellent bait.

[DanielPaul]

Must have missed it but how’d he pass

[TTfit]

I wish this thread said RIP Logan Paul.

[Matt]

I don't have time to take this excellent bait.

Lol, as in...Getbig's own The_Coach_is_Back_!_!_! has been training since the Ironage?

PS - where is Wiggs?

No, as in, he has to mention some remote reference to the person - which we can obviously blow out to him implying that the person was a close personal friend of his.

Could Wiggs be in Thunder Bay? Probably not. I think he lives somewhere warmer.

Coach is a legend in his own mind the biggest attention whore on the forum

[harmankardon1]

Peter seems schizophrenic or he's a good actor and wants attention

He's off the wall here, if he's acting he's good....

Evidently the alkaline diet isn't as great as he thought.

[The_Iron_Disciple]

I think that was his brother Peter. His youtube channel is... interesting, to say the least

Difficult to look at :/

Was a fan of the Bar. Bro. growing up.

Ric Drasin who worked out with Arnold and Franco for years, and was a wrestler in Los Angeles (on TV) talkd about it once, they tried briefly but didn't have
the FOCUS to develop their wrestling, their minds were always scattered they never showed up or were hours late for practice like it meant nothing to them...
