Title: Is Kal Szkalak still around?
Post by: YearsGoneBy on March 01, 2006, 08:04:56 PM
He posed like he was crucified at the 78 Olympia onstage when he was announced fifth.

H eis in Laguna Beach and is Personal Trainer.
He has no love for the Sport of Bodybuilding and the direction it has been going.
I talked with him 2 yrs ago and he said not to tell anyone from our sport where he could be found.

Can't say that I blame the guy.  It's a different game than it was some 25 or 30 years ago and I don't much care for it anymore either.  Not that I ever did care much for the bodybuilding "lifestyle" in the first place, vis-a-vis the seamy underside that you don't read about in the mags.

I've heard from sources around getbig *coughBixcough* that Szkalak is into competitive cycling now (and doing pretty well at it) and he's slimmed down considerably from his old BB days.

Okay Shawn, we won't tell anyone that he lives in Laguna Beach and is a personal trainer ;D!

BTW, I do know he has became a pretty successful cyclist!

So he went from doing cycles to be a champion to doing championship cycling. Cool.

No, none of them are Kal. He still looks great. Still has great arm development.
Title: Re: Is Kal Szkalak still around?
Post by: pumpster on March 02, 2006, 05:51:32 AM
That's Kal on the left, 3rd place. You can still recognize the similarity in some areas such as the shape of the arms. He's still bigger than the other two. Ironically, with all the cycling and size loss his legs are now in balance!

Have to say that was cheezy to mention he didn't want any publicity and then specifically mention location & the fact that he's a trainer. :(

Shawn, do you always talk out of school like this?

First you had no problem spilling your guts to the DEA about Milos/DJ and every dealer you have ever met.

Now, you're taking friends' confidential info and posting that shit all over the web.

Shawn, what if people talked about all the skeletons in your closet?  I'm sure there are many dealers out there who would love to talk about their dealings with you.  Many women who would love to talk about your shortcomings.  Etc etc.  Why mess with Kal like this?

Yes, we all know how those Personal Trainers & competetive cyclist hate publicity. ::)

In Shawn's defense; he pretty much just said, "The dudes doing fine... he's healthy, he's happy and he's no longer a bodybuilding enthusist."

I think that's a nice change from; he's a drug dealer, he's in jail for killing his girlfriend, he's in prison, he's sick with kidney problems, he's dating tranvestites, etc. And I don't think anyone is planning on kidnapping Kal and forcing him to explain his lack of quad development. :)

If I asked a friend to not tell anyone where to find me...

then he announced the city and the profession I am doing...

he'd make it pretty easy for people to find me.  :-\

Very rare that you hear something like this...

A question asked about what this obscure man is up to.
Then, a pro athlete announces it on a message board where 20,000 people visit daily.
Additionally, the man asked his location to remain secret.
And Shawn announced it.

Seems there may be more to the story... He owe someone money? Shawn have a beef?  This man work with the feds too? Did Shawn just throw this man under the bus?  Can you imagine Payton Manning announcing where Joe Namath was hiding these days, after being asked not to?  just seems odd...

Until we see photos of Shawn's penis, I don't think it's fair to rely on King's secondhand information. Let's give Shawn the benefit of the doubt and assume he has an average four-inch penis like the rest of us.

I remember back in 80 or 81 at the original World Gym when Kal had this little notebook and was going around the gym measuring and drawing pictures of the equipment.  When Joe would walk in he'd quickly hide the book.  He was like a little kid being a spy.
