Ok so he looks way worse now... but can he manage to secure the pro card? I mean a lot of crappy bodybuilders win cards these days. Maybe he can even do a Masters class so it's easier?

As an old(er) guy there’s time when you just have to hang it up. This guy has gone to having a great physique to a complete monstrosity.

Selfish to have a daughter and still going full throttle with bbing

Heart attack or organ failure is in the future and he will leave his daughter behind


Usually it's all they have, "gym life".
He probably needs the money and the media attention to keep up his own social media
Retire = less followers and less views I guess

Nearly all "comebacks" are disastrous. See Levrone, Ferrigno, Wheeler, same for old boxers

torn lats, torn inner pec, bloated gut... looks terrible

Yeah I realized he has a lil bit of this Scott Steiner thing going on in his pecs, wonder where this comes from, as he never even trained that heavy. But it will probably get worse and worse over the years :-\

I have that, my pecs are GONE almost totally. In my case it's due to tears on the other side tendons, obviously lost innervation.

x2.  BB is a single (gay) man’s sport.  I’m amazed that anyone who has a child would gamble with is health like this. ???

And his right lat also injured, the atrophied arms, and the gut.

Is there any way to fix that? ART maybe?

Jesus Christ, somebody tell Gaspari to keep his shirt on! Such ugly old skin and deteriorated body, ghastly sight. What is the matter with such senior citizens who still think they look like 30?
There should be a law forcing them to always wear long pants and long sleeves. Just to protect others from the traumatising sight    ;D

Fun facts: The first bodybuilding magazine I ever saw at a gym was with Gaspari on cover ripped posing with a chick, that was when I was a teen back in Dominican Republic ...... then when I came back to NY the first magazine I ever bough (days after I arrived) was Gaspari once again on the cover... He was bodybuilding's poster boy, the Man to beat Lee Haney!

Now, 35 years alter ..... to see him flexing his abs looking like that brings tears to my eyes ...


WOoooSSHHHHHHHHHHH  dont dream, is over

Holy hell. Gaspari looks like a tumor.

Edited.
Im not seeing it the same way for Rockel. Of course he's older but aside from lacking the elasticity and fresh look of youth, his muscles still somewhat full, no injuries, still has the shape that he was known for, tight waist etc... yes, he has the burnt cracked look to his skin thats associated with palumboism but that aside there are only a handful of 52 year old bodybuilders that have ever looked good. I don't think the lighting plus his pale skin helps him in this video. There is obvious regression in some of his body parts, especially lats and chest. But overall, he looks better than some current pro's.

I certainly don't think he should be competing, what does he need an IFBB pro card for? To throw away a few hundred dollars a year in 'dues.'?

IFBB pro card is a joke . you can compete, promote and even win the damn Olympia ...and they won't give a flying Fak'....
look what they did to IFBB legend Chris Dickerson while on his dying bed IFBB couldn't afford a single visit or call .
