I used to train with "Rory Leidelmeyer" in the early 80s. He was great but could never get it together at contest time. I hope he pulls it off..

Rory has no such plan, in recent past he has delt with some health problem including Cancer and right now he's having personal family problems!

This was just decided last night according to Iabadman, Joe. I know that you know him too. I haven't talked to Rory about it yet but plan to this week.

This seems to be comeback year. I'd love to see Rory back onstage. He was one of the greats. He was also a good actor. I saw him in a TV show a few years ago & he was excellent.

There has been talk of him making a comeback since the early 90s! I doubt it will happen. Personally, I never thought he physique was quite as impressive as it was made out to be.

Wow, Rory making a comeback. Remember watching him at the Pro Universe in late 80's Awesome

Hope that he pull's it all together. What show is he planning on entering?

I'm pretty sure I remember the cancer topic being refuted.

Who refuted it? Rory told me himself he had cancer a couple of years ago had chemo and is in remission.

David, I'll try to get a hold of Rory today. If he does decide to do this he's crazy!

Those were two physiques that kind of remind you of Steve Reeves build. Thats what bodybuilding should strive for. Anybody who says guys like Cutler or Ronnie or Ruhl are built anywhere near as good as Rory or Paris are nuts.

Joe I'd love to see him finally get his due and come in 100% but I do understand your concern for his health.

Good points Matt C. So now you have a ironager who is willing to admit it.

Yes, Rory is making a comeback! I spoke to him on the phone yesterday and I will be handling his contest prep. I am more impressed with him as a person than a bodybuilder so this should give you an idea of what type of man he is.

rory loved his black coffee,my buddy said hed drink close to a gallon of cold black coffee in an empty water bottle while he trained,rory was one of my favorites in the early 80,s,my buddy said rory was huge beyond belief,pics didnt do him enough justice

natural al · « **Reply #22 on:** July 17, 2006, 06:06:42 PM »

I'm not gonna say he won't be good but I hope he looks better than he did in his last comeback. He was sooooooooo hyped in musclemag for months and months and looked awsome in the gym and then kinda fell flat at the USA's that year-I think it was the USA's..maybe the nationals. I think he should have stuck with it that year, hooked up with a good prep guy and hit the nationals..anyway, good luck to him, love the pics of him from the early 80's.

No but it looked good on Rory. A trend setter you know!!

I read about Rory Leidelmayer in Bob Paris' Gorilla Suit. He offered Paris a job personal training at his gym and in return would train Bob for his upcoming contests. He turned both himself and Paris into fat f*cks and because of that they didn't place well that the time because they couldn't get their condition dialed in. Bob's best career move was to ditch Rory's advice. Goooood book!
