Serge Nubret

His daughter also posted updates (when I believe) he slipped into a coma.

Didn't his girlfriend poison him?

Pumping Iron the movie was scripted.

All BS to make a movie.

Body weight squats without using weights.

What'd he do, like 1000 per set?  Not efficient or effective.  Serge used to train for hours and hours at the old Block's gym down in Placentia on the early 90s.  He and Kenny (?) something and I think Rory Leidlemeyer did these real high rep workouts.  Not sure how Serge paid his bills.  Not sure he had anywhere else to go.

Seemed to have worked for him?

His name was Steve. He was an Asian guy, maybe Okinawan. He just had a 35 lb plate on each side so it was only 115 he would use. Just pumping out those front squats like a machine. I wish I took the time to count the number of reps he did for each set and how many sets he did. Great quads.

   was that the iron man article in the 60's ?

[LurkerNoMore]

Made phag porn.

Yep.  Heard it was back in France where he first started.

Most bodybuilders would struggle to do 50.

I heard his "diet" for shows consisted of eating one 12 ounce steak per day.  Nothing else.  No other protein, no other carbs or fat.

Probably true.  Mentzer ate 800 calories a day before a contest.  This is probably why they looked so much better in photos on the beach or gym than they did on contest day.

I've also read that Serge ate three pounds of horse meat a day.

Correct. He posted on Ironage and said he only ate once a day and it was always horse meat.

Why not just eat dog food?

Made phag porn.

No he never. Serge was the king of Europe. He made was making decent money before he blew it.

It's kind of depressing looking back at the golden era guys. The ifbb empire was built off of that small circle, but they got absolutely played by the weiders.

How much would it have hurt the Weider bros to put 100k in a pension account for someone like serge or Zane.

[The Scott]

Made phag porn.

I had some guys that trained up at Gold's tell me it was more a "soft core" hetero porn-ish scene in some foreign (non-Amurican) film but the truth was it was simply Weider being Weider, i.e., a whole ass.

I don't understand your question.

                 sorry i was replying to the guy you were replying to about wilf sylvester. sorry.

   here's the end of it. my scanners been out of commission for almost a year. so i can't do the rest of it.

They eat horse meat in France, but don’t think they do much any more other than out in the boondocks. There was a poison story with the family (sad) but I doubt the early career gay porn story. Never heard anything along those lines.
