Yeah I asked him about his time with Jones. You might be surprised by some of it and laugh at other parts. I hope to have it published online at Examiner.com tommorow.

That's cool man, so it should be a good read :) But I doubt that I will be much surprised, since I've read quite alot on AJ including his auto-biography, dude was a scary dude and a pure alpha male FACT

Post by: dj181 on May 16, 2011, 01:01:46 AM: I think that Boyer hit his peak at the 80 Olympia, but there are some pics from the early 70s comparing him to Casey V, and he looked great in those pics. I'll try and find them and post them up.

He could quarter-turn to the right, and damn near have that rug stay facing forward.

No his abs were the best- but his arms were unreal! So were the calves.

Standing alone I'd probably have said Casey was more impressive.
But I'm surprised with how good Boyer Coe looks there, he looks better in that shot IMO.

Post by: WEIBK on May 21, 2011, 09:30:38 AM: I met him in 1980, and he was very gentleman, humble, and respectable. I got a lot of advice from him. He was a great Bodybuilder with all means.

Post by: Reeves on May 21, 2011, 10:27:54 AM: We differ on the use of PEDs, but without a doubt Boyer is a gentleman. Some might say a "class act" but in Boyer's case it's not an act. He is all class. I've never had the chance to meet him but it would be both a pleasure and an honor. The interview was great, outside of course the multiple typo's. ;)
Thanks for a great read!

Arthur Jones was one of the first Bullshit Gurus apparently... semi decent engineer and huckster but knew next to nothing about bodybuilding.

I love how after Boyer proves his was a better way it stuck in Arthur's ass until he had to invite Boyer to dinner at Taco Bell just to brag that Boyer will never score as many chicks as him...

Oh and the fact that he made Ray Mentzer an inch shorter is just gold! ;D

Title: Re: Interview with Boyer Coe
Post by: Viking11 on May 31, 2011, 11:33:22 AM: I am glad you guys are enjoying and geting a lot out of it. I respect Boyer for his honesty and professionalism. In that respect he has few peers in the "pro ranks". As you see he is the consummate bodybuilder, hardcore, but reasonable, and never seeking to build himself up at others expense. A great role model for the sport. He never totally got his due, and I hope this helps in some way redress that.
