You’re not the only person that sees some potential for a real story about Paul. I’m just not sure any portion of the story is that crazy/great.

Paul used to train 4-5 hours per day.

He has ALWAYS had a comped Golds Gym membership. That’s very helpful for showers, restrooms, doing his laundry, etc.

He hangs out in the gym, in his van, down around the beach.

He works odd jobs frequently. He was Golds Gym parking lot security for years.

The last van I checked out- where he was living- had most of the camper type conveniences. Hot plate, microwave, TV, bed, blender, etc.

I know Paul has been offered rooms to live in/share but he likes his independence.

In almost 30 years I’ve never heard him complain about HIS station in life. He told me once, “Tommy (he always calls me Tommy LOL) I’ve seen the enemy. I know who my enemy is… it’s me.”

Def worth a Netflix documentary at least or a mini series

You know he's probably on to something.   i busted my ass my whole life trying to achieve a bunch of shit other people
told me is important.   now those idiots think i'm a success, but am i happy?  fuk no.

if he's doing what he loves, not struggling, and has no regrets then he is more successful than i am.

   It sounds like Paul avoided the rat race  altogether . Live for cheap, train, just enjoy life. I'd wouldn't mind doing it for a while, but loneliness would settle in. Not having relationships would be tough. Being a lone wolf isn't for everybody. It seems like being stronger than most people is very important to him. There is a recent picture of him, and he has downsized quite a bit. He must be around 65 now. The stories he has would be interesting. I bet people invite him to dinner just to hang quite a bit.

I think about it as well. What am I doing all this for? Then I take a few weeks vacation and realize that I am better off keeping busy in some regard. Training for hours each day is not for me. Living in a van is not for me. I have money at my age but could care less about most material things. I want to be healthy, have energy, hang with good people, and stay connected. If Paul's dream is to train, he is living it. Obviously very few people embrace his dream. It is easily attainable.

You act like you`re competing in the Olympia or something instead of a "contest" you fabricated in your  weak little mind.

Concede or not,SC destroys you !

I`m going to extend an olive branch also but mine is disguised as a baseball bat.

If you had any brains or pride you`d delete your account and come back as a man.

KILL YOURSELF PLEASE YOU DICKHEADED ASSHOLE.

YOU`RE HUMAN GARBAGE !!

Wes, whatever you do don't offer him the baseball bat FFS he'll want it inserted up his Arse.

[IroNat]

And lest we forget...

[illuminati]

Brians front lat spread

Serious question

What do you think his waist measures in that pic
looking at the width of those hips !!
He claims his one good arm is 18.5inch 
well his waist is easily over double his arm size
so at a minimum & being Generous to him it's got to be 36/7 inch at least.

[illuminati]

Wes, that’s Paul Sullivan aka Sully- the Mayor of Venice Beach.

Paul is a good guy. He legit. His credentials are real.

Yes he’s been homeless and living in his van behind Golds Gym since 1990 but Paul is a good guy.

Lots of real movie credits
He’s been huge! 275 and pretty tight.
He was extremely strong

He’s trained with everybody- Arnold, Grymkowski, Platz, Belknap, Waller. Etc.

Damn - He could tell some great stories - get him on Getbig.

The more you say about him the more I like him,
He's living his life how & where he want's & by the sounds of it is happy enough.
Great & good for him - how many with so much more material possessions /money etc
can honestly say the same - if he's happy & content with what he has & lives then
he's achieved a goal many will never each no matter how much money etc they have.

Have to say in my current situation in life I'd rather be where he is.

sounds like a real character.One of the kind of people that makes life interesting

Fuck living in a van in a parking lot better be one of those millionaire dollar RVs at least still would watch the documentary

So let it be written.  So let it be done!  And well done indeed, my brother!    You and illuminati are putting out to-the-point zingers lately!

He keeps bragging about a 34 inch waist or smaller but here even in his “contest shape” it looks at least 36 inches. And then his right arm and chest are notably smaller, his left arm looks lumpy and blurry 3 pack abs.

[Never1AShow]

Why won't he post a comparable back shot to SC?  He's definitely taken multiple videos from multiple angles/lighting scenarios trying to find that exact still screen shot where he isn't getting crushed, but can't come up with jack.  If there was even a chance of something comparable even from his deluded Bhank glasses perspective he'd have posted it, especially after that awful back shot has been posted all day.

Its not 34 in that pic no way - as I said his left good arm compared to his waist - his waist is more than double
The size of his arm.

His whole right side upper body is atrophied/ no middle chest & his thighs what little there is of them
Are turnip shape - He just doesn't have the structure or muscle shape to be a successful bodybuilder
Thats why he places last every time.

I don't have the genetics to make a decent pole vaulter/ high jumper / hurdler & a good few other sports
So I don't waste my time pretending I am good at them.

He can't/ won't accept his genetics are crap for bodybuilding- Fact.

This!  I remember Sully from my time out there.  There's a ton of untapped potential and money to be made from lots of people who were in and around Gold's over the last few decades.  There's money being left on the table for some enterprising individual who can capture and market these stories.  Gold's Venice should be running a daily video podcast, so many people come through there on a daily basis and for events and after contests for photo shoots etc. They could also be capturing all the stories when people come back to the Mecca after years or decades. I'm sure Arnold would be popping in, many pros, sports stars and celebrities.  I saw an Instagram post a few months back with Robert Kennedy Jr. training there.  Even Hankins was there in the last year or two.

Keep the Aceto, Palumbo, Chick tired fat crowd out and have a cute fitness female type co-host and it's Gold!

The legs are an entirely different story too.   He doesn’t want to do work !   That’s the issue.   It’s sad.

That is over 2 years ago and only 1 year after I started lifting again and 4 months after a pec tear and a black arm after losing all my size due to injury. You guys want to talk about pics from 2 years ago instead of yesterday 20lbs heavier with 2 more years of training and recovery.

[bhank]

Are you fucking daft I should not be able to walk unassisted does this shit look normal to you? Look at the legs from 2019 then look at the contest from 2021 it is an amazing recovery. Look at the surgical report from 1997 I got the same report for the other knee fucking everything was torn 25 years ago and again in 2018 I had another bad injury to both knees. I could not walk in 2019

Then how come you expected me to post pics after a year of off and on training due to medical issues,and after I sat around for 5 years doing nothing but eating junk food for that 5 entire years and recovering from Lung Cancer.....I could hardly do 5 pushups, then after a time I  was inclining the 80 pound dumbells,then Gall Bladder problems and 3 broken ribs.....had to stop training again,but you expected pics from me all the time.

You don`t sit around totally inactive eating like a pig for 5 years and post pics looking awesome in one years time after having Cancer....it just doesn`t work that way son.

You`re an excuse making fucling clown.....my excuses" were actually not excuses,they were reasons.....reasons that were called setbacks,but I`m back once again  and you`re gonna` eat crow for the disresept you`ve had towards me.....trust me,I`1ll see to that.

You`re a quitter, but my whole life has has been one filled with adversity.....some caused by myself even,but I always came back with my eye on the prize.....I didn`t quit competing if I lost a contest....like you did,you quit curling although you were passionate about it.....you my friend never follow through on anything when the going gets tough.

Always looking for the easy way out and blaming others for your losses instead of putting in the fucking work......who the fuck diets for a contest in 2 weeks......NOBODY EXCEPT YOU, AND LOOK HOW YOU FARED.....you didn`t put in the work or you would have done better but you took the easy road less travelled.

Just be ready to be jealous of me and store up some good putdowns, cuz the next new pics you see of me will make you have another hissy fit.....mark my words slacker!!

Oh yeah..........GO FUCK YOURSELF !!

You`re a walking talking embarassment.

[Krankenstein]

It is great she is helping a lot of people but sorry I have never been in a drug program you just make up lies. Hell you have made up half a dozen new ones in the last few days. I don't need to argue with you about it. You know what I did tonight I took my girl to the gym and trained her it was fun. I am continuing to workout  be healthy and encourage others you not so much

1) Spoken like a true narcist.  You 'trained her'.  Trained her to shut her mouth when you raise your hand?  A normal guy would say "went to the gym and worked out WITH my girl"

2) Did you berate her for not being able to strict curl 167.234675476523 lbs?

3) Who in the fuck have you EVER encouraged???  Really?  You think you encourage people?
