Joe Bucci

[wes]

Great physique,and insane arm development !!

[pamith]

Hahahaha

Looks to be bout 5'4

Great arms but I bet they were under 19 inches

Arnold only had 19 1/2 ers

Sergio's were 20 1/4

Arnold's arms were bigger than Sergios, at least judging from pictures

Arnold's COCK was bigger than Sergios, at least judging from pictures

They didn’t call him the “Austrian Oak” for no reason

[Van_Bilderass]

He looks really healthy now. Where did you hear about the booze and steroids giving him problems?

One of the first mags I read in the late 80s had a story where Bucci said he went into liver failure from steroids, and now he was clean yet even better!

I'm not sure why Bucci is "different" to you. Just another liar and lifelong drug user. Not that there's anything wrong with taking hormones.

His upper chest was good though but yeah, off the sauce

Nice thread old timer, I never heard of this guy but he looked and still looks great.  One of the better bicep peaks I’ve seen

Longevity is way more impressive than the flash-in-the-pan guys

Was a Pa. guy.Was the manager of Olympus Gym in Warrington,Pa

[Kwon]

he had the same build as Superman

Clark just slouched his shoulders (illusion) while Supes had his chest out proud.

So nobody would notice they had the same build.

Like I said before I'm in awe of what drugs, hard work and genetics can accomplish. I never forget that what I'm looking at is temporary.  The point of the thread is that so many users look like hell after they retire and he looks healthy and in shape.

So keep using your syringes, vials and pills. I will say that guy looks amazing if I see you in the gym but I won't forget for one second what you would look like clean.

What I'm saying is that drug use can be a semi-permanent fixture in a guy's life and some can work it well. You don't necessarily ever have to go clean. Like Bucci. Like Robby Robinson or whoever. Bucci is addicted to PEDs, but so what?

I went to to school from first grade all the way to Plymouth-Whitemarsh high school with Joe Bucci,  and he was a beast from around 6th grade on, and no it wasn't juice because a typical 12 year old kid had never heard of steroids in 1970. He was ridiculously built by even the 8th grade. Hard work and genetics built the framework of his physique.  I'm 5-10 and he was same height as me.  More importantly though, he was always a pleasant and easy going guy, he went out of his way to be a gentleman, and was cool with everybody.  I haven't seen him in decades but he was the real deal back in the day

I rarely start threads but I thought I will start one then take a three year break from starting another.  Joe Bucci was an amazing bodybuilder before he left for Hollywood. His arms were his best body part.  The reason why I bring this up is so many steroid champs look like hell after they stop competing. 

I know I have been critical of steroid users and it stems from users saying look at what I accomplished without pointing out the obvious. Yes, I am I am in awe of steroid champs and what hard work, drugs and discipline have accomplished. I never for one minute forget what I am looking at though.

He loved Dianabol.

This brings me to Joe Bucci. I can do a laundry list of champs that stopped competing then went to hell physically. Joe Bucci is an exception.  The guy is lean and looks like an athlete. He is no spring chicken. He is a fall or winter chicken if anything.  Every current picture of him he looks in amazing shape.

Hi Joe. In all seriousness, Bucci had great arms and I loved his training program published in the mags. If I remember right it was arms every other day with one bodypart every day in between. His Hollywood movies were some of the worst ever put to film. He made the Barbarian Brothers look like Oscar nominees.

Liar.

I found this pic of Bucci before he went on the gas in 8th grade.

[oldgolds]

I knew Joe when he was 15 and clean, nice guy, he was well built, lean, but no "beast"...Lol....Then he blew up and got about 18 inch arms, I was naive because he denied steroid usage....but everybody lied about it back then.

[Virgil]

Oldgolds regarding Joe as a 15 year old he was literally as good as it got in the early 70's.  I do realize this is just  internet chatter without pics to back it up, but I checked his instagram page and there's a shot of him doing a single bicep shot in the high school parking lot, he would have been 16 in that pic (1974-5)  I believe his instagram name is Joseph Michael Bucci, maybe all one word

Great posts Virgil. Given your access to Joe in high school, did you ever have PE with him?  If so, during the communal showers during that era of high school I'm sure you would have had every opportunity to catch a glimpse of what Joe was packing.  Shoot us straight sport.  Did Joe have a big cock or what?
