Title: Rory Leidelmeyer 90's comeback - what happened?
Post by: Nether Animal on July 19, 2015, 07:28:27 PM
Can anybody shed some light on this? From what I gather, Rory looked awesome in the early '90s, sporting the long hair. There are plenty of images floating around online that prove this. But then I can only find one on-stage pic from the '90s and he looks flat, narrow and totally unlike himself.

Did he lose the will to continue attempting to get his pro card, because he surely wasn't past his prime at this point. He just sort of disappeared and I can't find much info on it. Would appreciate some insight because Rory is one of my favorite physiques ever.

Last contest was the 1994 Nationals , Which Paul DeMayo won and Rory placed dead last on the Heavyweights

Leidlemeier always had a differrnt look about him. Unique looking dude.

Was involved with that Joe Valdez photographer who was had a physique studio where he took pictures.

Had a wake up call and probably realized bodybuilding is not the respected sport he imagined it was when he was 14.

Leidlemeier always had a creepy look about him. Strange looking dude.

Was involved with that Joe Valdez character who rumor has it was hustling dudes into his "studio" to take pictures.

Your utter ignorance and gimmick is insulting. Back to your moms basement, troll.

"Weird" as in Getbig would find them weird? That's pretty weird.

I've heard rumors but I've known Joe since I was 19 until he died and I've never seen anything "weird". He was always around and like a father to Rory and helped him and Cynthie purchase their first home. He worked as a camera man on a long running soap opera series. But in all the years I haven't seen anything that would be factual.

The simple answer was that Rory, like Matt Mendenhall, could never get lean enough or dry enough to be successful in that era. Rory always seemed to hold a film of water that made him look smooth.

His shape and aesthetics were superb, but in those days you needed to be bone dry, striated, and vascular to win....and he was always just a few percent off.

Joe's gone now. We were friends.

He was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of bodybuilding and bodybuilding history. I mean crazy knowledgeable- way beyond me or any actual bodybuilder I ever knew. He knew things like-

-what song Jon Brown posed to in the 1983 Nationals
-how much Chris Cormier weighed in the 1990 California
-the top 5 light-weights in the 1992 North American Championships

Just really bizarre things to know about bodybuilding.  My friend Jason Mathis (the bodybuilding photographer and writer) lived with Joe for a few months when he first moved to California. He gave me bizarre reports.

I'm going to leave it at that.
