Taught Shawn Ray, Vince Taylor and many others how to train and pose. Think about that. From the beginning. Took two of his 3 sons to the NFL. Had an incredible physique himself at 6'2 242. Multiple Mr. Universe winner. Dude is hardcore, smart and charismatic. Dude literally changed posing in bodybuilding.

Why may you ask was he black balled or should I say white balled? Racism back in the 80s. He was a rogue negro that did and said what he wanted. There's a price to pay for that.

Anyway, FREAKING LEGEND!

John Brown, the REAL trainer of champions.

Same with Bob Paris. He suffered from being white. Racism had no boundaries in the 80's.

Sergio won two Olympias in the 60's.

He was black.

Brown did great in AAU, NABBA and WABBA so he was shafted after moving to the IFBB. Same as Kawak, Fox, Clairmont etc.

There's a long interview with John done some years ago where he speaks in depth about it. I don't remember who conducted the interview.

But that’s just his opinion and excuse since he wasn’t good enough unlike Sergio, Haney, Samir, etc

Simply put, he wasn’t good enough in the IFBB to be a top competitor unlike some of his other peers so he made excuses

Cock notwithstanding, I agree with you.

Problem with John was he was all upper body and his legs lacked way behind

Those 3 kids look like they each have the combined intelligence of one half retarded person. I just read that they are pretty smart, still looks wise look like 3 dolts.
:D I was thinking the same thing.

I've heard that the Block's Gym Logo was based on John Brown's physique.  I think he also was smart enough to marry a good woman who ran shit in the house right and brought those kids up with some discipline.

No legs on the Block's Gym logo either.
