Do Stage 3 Palumboism victims ever improve anywhere?
« on: August 30, 2006, 05:54:36 AM »
I didn't want to say the K word but over the past few years he's really not gotten any bigger in the right places atall.  I'm not trying to start hate against any of these guys but it seems to me that none of them have ever managed to do what DJ/Coleman and anybody else with distension has done.. which is continue to get freakier everywhere else to offset said distension.

Is stage 3 the complete shutdown of anything but gut production? 

I think so.

Legs and arms noticeably smaller - gut way bigger. Not a good combination. I don't think K has a competitive career left.

Kamali's been diagnostisized with P-2 (Palumboism stage 2) in the past, but for the very first time, at the Europa, I think he's entered the dreaded P-3.

A complete shutdown of hypertrophy in the limbs is evident, and even the upper part of the torso is shutting down, while the protruding middle parts are going places.

Maybe he should try taking a year or two off from bodybuilding.

The hard thing is to go to a normal lifestyle after abusing yourslef like that.  Do you think he is going to be happy riding a mountain bike aroundtown and not eating 9 times a day?  It becomes an unhealthy obsession.

Would his "sponsors" still pay him if he did that?  Would he be able to pay his bills without that money?  It seems like being in a catch 22 if you ask me.

At 34, he really needs to start assessing where in life he is going with this.

If you look at the Montreal line-up, he actually might be able to place somewhat high due to the lack of competitors.  But will it make a difference?

Other than the top guys, who is really making a living off compteing?

I believe Kovacs is in the most advanced stage of palumboism by the way

I also believe that soon Kamali will overtake the man himself, Dave for the second most obvious case

Maybe K's plan is to get his gut to be so large that it collapses in on itself like a blackhole. It would eb the ultimate vacuum pose!

You know, it was that damn legal system that held Jumbo back.  Those 5 months on the inside, he lost a lot of ground.
