This cat's name seldom gets mentioned on the list of lesser known guys who could COULD have won the Mr Olympia. I know, I know, dude's a peter puffer, butt pirate, etc. Still, crazy physique.

tommy what do you feel about funding some heme-iron research studies since you are a millionare
-
:D
Johnny, I was a millonaire. That money is long gone. I'm a working man now, like most everyone else.
Heme iron research? Brother, I really wouldn't know where to start when it comes to obtaining funding for such a study. I would think a call/email to any large University that has a Medical School affiliation could get you pointed in the right direction. Good luck my friend.

I have no clue who he is. Great upper body though.

When Bruce first came out Bob Kennedy was comparing him to Arnold in Musclemag. Big things were expected of him. He was getting hype every mouth. Then Bruce decided to get his pole greased on film, and Bob had egg on his face.

Bruce "Thunder" Patterson, overshadowed by Chris Duffy on the gay for pay scene. He always reminded me of a larger more polished Craig Titus.

decent upper body. But, the 90s were too stacked with people way better than him. Never really was that impressed by Bruce "The Spruce" Patterson.

"Was" a millionaire
Lives in SoCal, involved with the Venice scene
Friends with a guy who's about to go in the slammer..
Bbing circle/life for sure
My guess : all a bunch of drug dealers :)

Same reason Kai keeps going that route

Yet Kai is an Arnold Classic Winner, and has beaten Phil Heath in that title and is 2nd in the World.
Bruce is nothing more that a footnote in the stuck together pages of "IFBB Schmoe and Tell #2".

yup, the evolution of bodybuilding.
Bob Paris could have been the best spokesman for this sport since Arnold. he announced he was gay - did nothing homo in public, so creepy pix, just stated he had a male partner. that was it , his career was over.
now it's like its rewarded.

Negative sir, not my bread any way. No offense taken by the way. :)
Patterson had a few things going for him that the other real contenders didn't; he was white and good looking and Weider always loved pushing that image. Couple more shots of Bruce. Oh, he had a crazy hot girlfriend before he became "The Flaming Fire fighter" or whatever his first video was called. ;D

:) I certainly remember Jennifer. Very attractive blond, but not her. Her name was Michelle Herring. Runway & print model. Worked a lot. Stunning. She must be married and her name has changed because I can not find a trace of her.

Jennifer Goodwin
but he did date her once he moved to conners bedroom LA no?
-
;D You can't prove that. ;D
Ya known HB, I don't remember Bruce dating Jennifer but when you mentined it- it sort of sounded familiar and it sounded right, but I can't say 100%. She did date several "up & cumming coming" bodybuilders.
I do remember personally introducing Bruce to Ed Connors. I was a company man all the way. ;D And NO I did not take one for the team.

Admit it Tommy, you craved his maritime cock like no others ;D
seriously, he was tagged as the "next Arnold" in the mid 1990's. Cock glazing followed too quickly.
I remember reading articles about him in MD when I was just a teenanger. Bruce said his favorite mass building food was his grand mother's oatmeal cookies. Both mine were dead at the time so I hired an old lady to cook me some, thinking this was the secret for successful mass. I was quickly disillusioned and had to perform unspeakable gilfs stuff to get out of the cooking costs.

LOL! Too funny. Patterson and I were good friends. Dude actualy trained his neck pretty hard. Real bummer when he decided to "supplement his income with film work."

Very Mike Francoisesque but without the colitis.

Glad you clarify on this, I assumed the neck mass and vascularity his neck exposed was mainly meatrod related.
All jokes aside, the guy must've felt a long way from home back in 1993, landing in LA with you freaks thinking the late 70's were gonna repeat themselves. Tell us chief, I'm very curious to know the dynamics (no homo).

here's how I met bruce. this was before the innnerrrnet, so people could get away with all kinds of shit. this school teacher that had been a member of my gym for years says " my nephew is coming to stay with me for a month, what will it cost for him to train here?' he bought the month pass and Bruce shows up!! i'm like holy fug!! you are in every issue of muscle mag!! unreal!!! he and I trained together while his 'uncle' did his little workout.
after a week I say to bruce ' so bruce (the guy from my gym was also named bruce} is your uncle??. he replies, ' ya, something like that'. that struck me as slightly odd, but I was so fuggin naïve that I didn't think much about it.
a month after he left the shit hit the fan for him and everybody knew what he was up to and his career was pretty much over. (now, he'd be awarded at least the Arnold classic for what he had done.
-

ya, that was the guy, remembered us and said ' the Canada boys!! come on in, if tommy anyone asks, say you are from gold's in seattle.
I trained a bit with chris cormier (insane legs in person), aaron baker (when his calves came to a point!. we worked in on the hammer bicep curl as soon as it came off the truck!) and Jeff Poulin ( he made me climb up ten feet onto this hammer leg press contraption, I felt like an idiot).
I couldn't imagine what it would have been like training there year roumd , much less working there.
-
:D Johnny, I was was a millonaire. That money is long gone. I'm a working man now, like most everyone else.
Heme iron research? Brother, I really wouldn't know where to start when it comes to obtaining funding for such a study. I would think a call/email to any large University that has a Medical School affiliation could get you pointed in the right direction. Good luck my friend.
how did you lose your fortune?
-
Pierre Van Densteen was far better than Franco, but great Belgian never turn pro
At Mr.International 1973 if he was gone pro ??? Mr.Azteca Professional winner mighty Sergio Oliva
on the same stage would have a real rival.
Not out of shape Colombu, who was easy prey for the Myth.

Hahaha. We called that thing "The Life Guard Stand". That fucker was 8+ feet up in the air. I remember Gary Jones (Creator/Owner of Hammer Strength) was at Gold's Venice giving us a seminar on all the Hammer products. Gold's Venice was used as a test platfrom for many of his new pieces. When we walked over to the Life Guard Stand I said something like, "Gary? What the fuck happened here?" Jones started laughing and just said something like, "Well this is exactly why we send you and the Cinninati Begals our prototypes." Jones was real cool.
Jeff Poulin aka poo-poo was real cool. Lives down in Florida these days.
Brother Baker had awesome calves but he just went a little crazy shooting Esiquelene into them and sort of over did it. ;D Great physique, extremely strong.
I found a pic of the Life Guard Stand!
