RIP David Paul - Barbarian Brother

You said psychology before. Which is not the same as psychiatry. Psychology is more of a pseudoscience. Which is it?

Any info regarding funeral services?

No one within these fields uses those two terms interchangeably.  A psychiatrist is a doctor. Anyone can be a psychologist

Both are sciences. But yes, there are some more "holistic" aspects to some parts psychology.

One can have a PHD in either field. Psychiatry tends to have more of a biological and pharmaceutical focus, and thus is arguably more empirical and "scientific" in that sense, whereas psychology is more behavioral focused. But please don't confuse either with crystal healing and fortune telling etc - both are legitimate, with extensive peer-reviewed studies to support.

Yeah, in the article I linked, it mentioned both brothers had problems with dyslexia, David terribly so -

 "I couldn’t read for the first three years of school. So, I got teased a lot. So I took everything else physically. They didn’t know what was wrong with me. I had no hand/eye coordination. I couldn’t read. They put me in school with the retarded kids. In New York, they sent me to these doctors who said that I had the worst case of dyslexia they’d ever seen on the East Coast. So who knows what it really was. Peter didn’t have it as bad. He stayed in public school and got kicked out in 3rd grade. I couldn’t read a word. I went to this Catholic school where there were only five kids in the class. I had nuns for teachers. It was really good for me. There was only English and math. That’s it. No history and all that stuff. I didn’t miss out. I don’t know where anything is on the map, but I never used that anyway. (Laughing.) My mother understood my disability, so she just pushed me towards the arts. I spent a lot of time in art galleries. She got me a camera at 13, and I’d develop pictures in the basement. I was always doing art, building shit. I had a mother who understood."

Very sad.  David became really successful in life considering where he started.

Yes, Peter said he need to be put to sleep because of some sort of sickness, and that David was stressed out and really sad because of it. I'm pretty sure the dog passed after David. It's a bit hard to read through Peter's posts.

Looks like the same dog in the video I posted above with Peter, sad

Palumbo and Lee Priest remember David Paul (skip to 15:30 - 16:00, so you don't need to hear rehashed Corona talk).

As said, I have spent time with both.

My best memory is sitting with David out back Gold’s Venice in his car. His GIANT dog was in the back seat and he was slobbering all over the back of my head as David jammed him and his brothers’ latest music on the stereo.

That one song, “War With the Weights”, was among them.

David was literally singing/screaming along, fists clenched ... “War ... with .. the weights!”

(Or sitting in a restaurant and they were trying to mix a protein shake with a portable mixer they’d built. Kid you not, protein powder was flying everywhere and they were howling just like they’d do it their movies. It WAS NOT an act. I was just sitting there, thinking, This is AWESOME!)

They were hilarious guys. But clearly David was the more “with it” of the two.

To me, it’s painfully obvious Peter’s (I believe some used to call him Pee Wee, as he was the smaller of the two) situation is legitimate mental illness. It’s not an act. He’s gone off his rocker.

As others say, I, too, imagine he will sink even deeper now that David’s gone.

Totally sucks.

They treated me very well the times we hung and were colourful, beyond funny and, yes, intelligent (in their own way).

At one time they were seriously impressive physical specimens, as well.

LOL his giant dog was SLOBBERING all over the back of my head while while david jammed his and his brothers music on the stereo, OMG man im laughing my ass off still and i read that 5 minutes ago.  then the part where they where mixing protien shakes in restaraunt howling as powder was flying all over the place,LOL

[gracie bjj]

I read all your posts word for word with respect,love those stories.

me to NJFLEX, i CANT GET ENOUGH of the old school stories about guys like the Barbarians, ive always RESPECTED them regardless if they where alittle different, i actually used to wear the boots and flannels back then to train in the winter cause it gets COLD in jersey at that time. i used to always read about their training sessions when they would HAVE A NECK HARNESS ON with a woman hanging off of it and BEHIND THE NECK PRESSES with 315 or more.

I can tell that CB meant a lot to him.  I can totally relate.   I saw DP many years ago at some dog shows in Ca.  He was really enjoying just watching the dogs.  I would have liked to talk with him some but I was busy showing dogs and just wanted to go home when I was done. 

[MAXX]

He lived an interesting life for sure.

Never watched this intill now. He had the right philosiphy in life. Rest in peace.

[pamith]

i had to put 2 of my dogs to sleep in a 4 month span of eachother cause they had sickness that couldnt be cured and they where in pain,i had them both for 13 years. that was in 2010 and im still really sad over it,i have their pictures on my wall and everyday i tell them ill be seeing them when i leave this earth one day

Were "squats" a concept they just didn't grasp?

They struggled to grow their legs in parallel with their upper bodies, but make no mistake. They were seriously strong squatters, etc.

[Fortress]

No!

Why didn't he continue to take photos of bodybuilders? He had talent and vision with photography.


What about the story that Mike Christian walked over to one of them and slapped him in the face? Anyone remember that one?

Yeah, apparently one of them wanted someone to hit him to “psyche” him for a bench press. Mike obliged. Full-on sent the brother flying. Then he stood, howled and proceeded to perform his set.

Christian just stood there, like, What the fuck?!

Silly question. Ask sensible questions though and I will answer.

The Barbarian brothers were legends in bodybuilding without even competing like Vic Richards.

How did he die? Was it suicide?
