Big Lenny

[bhank]

A depraved, mentally ill man made semi-known by the same type of sickos who made Genova 'famous'. Laughing at him instead of with him.

Has anyone here by any chance had a diastasis operation and can say anything about it? I have it bad.

You don't think you can train the abdomen to correct this? That annoying guy that has the video that makes the tiger sounds and sells some kind of supplement had an entertaining argument with Palumbo. Anyway he said he had the diastasis surgery. I was worried this may be starting post hernia repair and I thought if I started training abs this may correct.

I don't know if training abs can correct it if it's bad, I mean make it look good. Then you don't know if the mesh will distort the abs. My abs are torn from the pubic bone to the lower chest. I had a smal umbilical hernia repaired in 1997 and it just got worse from there, all my fault, heavy deadlifts with no belt since 1997-1998. When I do a situp the middle area bunches up about 2 inches at least, horrible look. 

I can't even look at the Tiger Fitness guy for a few minutes, most enervating youtube creator.

54 sounds about right.

He was certainly a complete fuckup of an adult but I truly believe he was a victim of severe physical and emotional abuse as a child so I’ll cut him some amount of slack. Jason Genova was no saint but Lenny was never a girl to him and tried to encourage him. Let everyone be judged by their entire character and deeds sort of thing.

If I was locked in a room with Lenny, Hunter Biden and Bhanks and given a gun with two bullets I’d shoot Bhanks twice.

LOL

Just bringing this up to the top for a second, to post a hilarious part of the article -

"Big Lenny was well-known for his eccentric appearance, especially his protruding stomach, and his larger-than-life personality.

Due to a disease called palumboism, which is usually brought on by the usage of HGH and insulin and causes difficulty contracting the abdominal muscles, he did not have the conventional bodybuilding appearance.

Big Lenny participated in multiple bodybuilding competitions.

In the most recent one, the 2017 NPC Ruby Championship, he finished in second place.

His goal was to be the biggest guy on stage and he was passionate about the sport, Fitness Volt reports.

Big Lenny was recognized for his extreme personality, unfiltered commentary, and non-traditional approach to bodybuilding."

LMAO!

On a serious note, I thought Lenny was still in his 50s. That’s a big achievement making it to 60 with that kind of lifestyle. He outlived many professional wrestlers and bodybuilders

[1Patrick]

I would think that he made some money of the YouTube and get some decent condo and  vehicle.

Hahaha!

They should have at least cited the original scientific research about palumboism:

What is Palumboism or Palumbism ?

Palumboism is a rare, complex disease only seen in the nether ranks of competitive bodybuilders.

The condition is first characterised by the sudden development of an enormous midsection whereby the entire width of the trunk, ribcage and pelvis grows disproportionately whilst the oblique muscles will thicken rapidly and the abdomen will become distended with the patient unable to hold in their stomach.



The condition is further characterised by chronic metamorphasies of the facial and cranial features, culminating in thick folds of dermal tissue round the mouth and thickening of the Levator labii. Mandibular and mental protuberance hypertrophy and overall cranial hyperplasia, accompanied by a dramatic increase in the size of the frontal ridge follows. Premature aging is also common with Palumboism



A particularly spectacular symptom used to confirm diagnosis are disproportionally small limbs on the otherwise gigantic upper body. This is first observed in the upper limbs, where the arms seem to remain in a catabolic shrinking state compared to the torso who's internal structures are growing out of control in all directions. The reasons for this are not yet understood. The quadraceps muscles of the legs also seem to be ever shrinking.

Overall a more neanderthal type structure develops:





In advanced Palumboism the outer dermis takes on a crackly brittle look, almost as if the patient has been glazed or varnished like a ceramic souvenier. The color of the skin will become uneven displaying varying hues and shades from grey to bright orange throughout the entire body, whilst the skin may appear weathered and abnormally aged.



There may also be a high level of vascular distension which never seems to go away in the patient, this will often result in veins having a 'worn out' apperance.

Perhaps the most unusual and distressing issue is that the patient seems totally unaware of what is happening to him.

Post mortem examination of patients sometimes reveals large quantities of a foreign oil-like substance in the biceps and anterior deltoid muscle heads.


What causes Palumboism ?

It is not fully known what causes the disease, although it is speculated that a genetic predisposition combined with an over reliance on high and never ending doses of various anabolic drugs accompanied by a gradual 'shut down' or mutation of the patient's own endiginous endocrine system possibly awakening dormant cro-magnonesque genes are causative factors.

Although Palumboism shares some symptoms with Acromegaly it should not be confused due to the additional conditions described above when making a diagnosis.


Treatments

There is no known cure for Palumboism, as long as the patient remains on his drug regimen there is little comfort and the condition will continue to deteriorate.

Promptly discontinuing drug use may halt further development of the condition although it cannot be fully reversed.





Palumboism in women

Although Palumboism can occur in the female sex it is extremely rare for the condition to reach the advanced stages witnessed in men, therefore accurate and prompt diagnosis becomes more difficult.

Whilst it should be noted that female Palumboism must not be directly confused with the seperate condition of virilization which is more commonly encountered, more cases of female Palumboism are being diagnosed and reported everyday.

For some reason this kinda reminds me of that one a guy who trolled a “journalist” after the Elliott Rodger shooting claiming it was roid rage from creatine.

Palumboism also made it to the UK press...

My college frat house wasn’t even that bad.

I think he was working as a hospital cook at the time.

Let that sink in for a second...

Reminds me of the fat cook in “Down Periscope”.

“Yesterday I found a band aid in my soup. Today, a fingernail!”

“The band aid was holding the fingernail on”

Let that sink in for a second...

And people think Covid came from China.

[Fortress]

That Palumboism is becoming a recognized condition outside of bodybuilding circles is both astounding and hilarious.

Heck, I was one of the few at “ground zero” when it was first being spoken.

It's amazing Leonard's getting talked about by major news outlets across the globe.

He might become the bodybuilding industry's 2pac, bigger in death.

He lived long enough to become a cookie cutter porn addict though.

Would anyone take a dump or shower in that place? What a pig...

I'm shocked he lived that long. I will give him this. He knew how to use teeth whiteners.

That was truly horrifying!  It was like something out of a third world country. 

He and I are almost the same age; I feel so much better about my life and home after watching that.

He had that greg kovacs look for a while.
