RIP Mike Quinn

[Taffin]

Palumbo looks like a corpse with Botox, transplanted hair and veneers.

And lets not forget the pacemaker, stent(s) and half removed thyroid gland

^^^^Rich Roy trained at my old gym with Jeff King.....trivia Tim. 

Thanks to John Hansen for the videos.

Yeah, but it's not like they are lifetime natties either. They probably quit using a few weeks before the testing so they would pass and only used water based injectables and orals.

I know that. But, they were fairly big before they started using anabolics. They didn't go from twigs to titans with a few syringes.

Per Tony Pearson's account, they were being tested routinely, even doing blood tests.

If they got popped, they still did the '92 show; they just lost a month's pay.

Re: Mike Christian - wasn't the masking agent called 'Defend'?  Anyone know the active ingredient(s)?

Also, I saw a Palumbo clip earlier this week where he said (I'm paraphrasing a little) that when you come off the juice, as long as you keep eating and training right you won't lose muscle cuz you've built the foundation ...   It was about the Liver King I think

Edit: yep

The whole allegation with Christian using the masking agent, Defend, was with regards to the 1990 Mr. Olympia. Eddie Robinson claimed that some competitors were crystallizing their urine with masking agents into sugar (he did NOT mention Christian specifically).

true story

when his sister died- i think she killed herself I was about 15/16 but obsessed with the gym

I airmialied a letter to him saying how sad it was and to keep training har din her memory

he sent me a letter thanking him

I was 10 feet tall that day!



I always remember his posing routine with the mighty quinn music

Little stuff like this is the kind of thing a kid will remember for the rest of their life.  Super cool to hear, thanks for sharing

This was from 2016, I believe. Pearson would go on to win the 2020 AAU Masters Mr. Universe.

Before gear majority of the pros were all skinny twigs, dexter, flex, Levrone, dick Walker, Nasser, ruhl, etc….

All have good response to anabolics but most were short skinny guys, the ideal imo before gear

Pearson looks like he weighs 150lbs!

Tiny joints, great muscle tie-ins, extremely youthful skin.
His muscles looks rounder than his prime days.

[Royalty]

Tony Pearson is interesting to listen to. Bodybuilders from previous era’s had good personalities and are worth listening to.

I cannot remember the last time that I could withstand a recent pro’s, cliche interview.

Except for maybe his WBF days.

Again, he claims that (unlike Mighty Mike Quinn), he didn't lose any money in 1992.

He claimed he hadn't use any anabolics since 1990.

Plus, in 1992, he's not as big as he was in 1991.

Great genetics for aging.

Great genetics for aging.

He's been competing for about 40 years. I'd say he knows a thing or two about training and nutrition, too.

Now that made my day hahahaha.

Exactly.  A variation of Mr. Hanky.  Not Hankins, Southpark.

[michael arvilla]

So ............... what did Mike die from?

I respect guys like him who keep training into old age and look great. Not a shell of themselves and broken down. Vince Taylor is another.
