[funk51]

Yes, tearing your pec in 'nam is serious bidness.

                          that or hire franco colombu as your personal trainer.

[Pet shop boys]

Wouldn't every pro bodybuilder be a liar by default?



WooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 

[falco]

10 year bump of peace.

[Bevo]

everyone in bodybuilding stretches the truth or out right lies

George is cool - I can look past this one

Under armor shirt tucked into jeans with a 5 dollar belt on. Oh brother

is that sigur ros playing in that background?

[FitnessFrenzy]

Good point! As much as I hate liars, I must admit I've fabricated one or two in my lifetime. Usually though, I just avoid the subject if I cannot give an honest reply. This is know as lying by omission. It goes something like this:

-Wife, "Where'd you go last night?"

-Husband, "Out."

-Wife, "Out where?"

-Husband, “Nowhere special, just out."

Wife then gives up asking questions with a sigh and the husband walks away and sighs in relief because he didn’t actually tell a lie….unless it was special!

you went out to the glory hole?

[SOMEPARTS]

you went out to the glory hole?

Haha, wow good catch.

[Primemuscle]

you went out to the glory hole?

What other option would there have been? Normally people don't have glory holes in their homes unless they live in a sex club.

City police blast bodybuilder who claimed he was wounded cop.

In an emotional Internet video made to market a nutrition company, local bodybuilder George Farah spoke of the pain and rehabilitation he went through when he was shot in Rochester while a rookie police officer in 1997. He was off duty, he tells viewers, heroically responding to a bank robbery.


The problem is, it isn’t true.

Farah, a professional bodybuilder from Rochester ironically nicknamed “Bulletproof,” was shot on Ringle Street in Rochester in 1997 along with another person, but was never an officer or employee of the police department, the city officers’ union president said Thursday.

The circumstances of the shooting are cloudy and no one was ever charged in the incident, said Locust Club President Mike Mazzeo. Now he and members of his union are insulted and angered that Farah and Illinois-based Optimum Nutrition used the false story to market their products.

“We have three role models in this community and their story of how they have overcome adversity is a testament of inner strength — not deceit,” Mazzeo said at a news conference standing beside officers Anthony DiPonzio, Dan Brochu and Luca Martini, who were all shot in the line of duty. DiPonzio, 24, of Greece was shot in the back of the head with a round fired from a .22-caliber rifle on Jan. 31, 2009, after he and other officers were leaving Dayton Street, where they had responded to a complaint of drug activity. Fellow officers rushed him to Rochester General Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery.

On Dec. 1, Brochu and Martini responded to a 911 call about a home invasion at 265 Driving Park Ave. When Brochu and Martini arrived, they heard a woman screaming. She then ran out of the third-floor apartment and the two officers were met by gunfire.

Brochu, a six-year member of the police department, was struck once in the right lower leg. The bullet went through Brochu’s leg and broke some bones. Martini, a three-year officer, was shot in the right arm, left hand and upper chest. The bullet that hit his chest lodged in his bulletproof vest and did not pierce through. The bullets that struck his right arm and left hand caused several broken bones. None of the men has returned to duty.

“Real police officers, if you get injured in the line of duty, make every effort to come back to work and continue your career as a police officer,” Brochu said. “The three of us go to multiple doctors appointments every week, we are going to physical therapy on a regular basis, and we’re all striving to come back.”

“For a child to look at someone like him and consider him a role model, I’m totally offended,” said Brochu, who coaches youth sports.  Monroe County First Assistant District Attorney Sandra Doorley said Farah likely would not face criminal charges for his false story on the video.

“The only problem is at the beginning of the video, he doesn’t orientate to a particular date or location or the Rochester police department, so based upon what we have alone here, it wouldn’t be enough for criminal charges,” Doorley said.  However, she asked anyone who feels they might have otherwise been defrauded or victimized by Farah to call the District Attorney’s office at (585) 753-4780.

Farah, a longtime personal trainer at Rockell’s Family Fitness Center on West Ridge Road, now runs a fitness center in Webster, according to an employee there. Farah could not be reached for comment today.

Optimum Nutrition has since removed the video from its web site, apologized to the union and said it would take action against Farah. “… I wanted, as George’s boss, to let you know how sorry we are to have posted his fabrication,” Bob Corbett, athlete manager for the company wrote Mazzeo in an e-mail. “I’m sorry of any pain it caused your police force and veterans.”

According to his website he is 5'6".  What is the height requirement for being a police officer?  I don't think I've ever seen one that short. 

btw, who is his audience?  Does he have fans?  I can't believe BB fans are paying any real attention to him. 

King Kamali hated him


Chris Aceto said his Police career was fake and that he was a liar


Farah got upset and called him gay

[Gym Rat]

you went out to the glory hole?

Prime "a cokk sucking he did go"...

[Pet shop boys]

Why does bodybuilding attract such psychotic people? 

This.


WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Matt]

Shoot, I didn't mean to bump this. I meant to quote snippets of this for the new George Farah documentary thread. I don't mean to shit on George - but this was obviously a fraud.

Just call him JustPlaneGeorge. 

[Matt]

                           that or hire franco colombu as your personal trainer.

Apparently, that cost Stallone a pec tear. Franco got Stallone to attempt somewhere between 340-360 on bench press.

IMO, there was no reason to try a bench press one rep max like that, on a hypertrophy program.

[youandme]

Weird. I forgot which magazine but I believe in late 90s or early 2000s a bodybuilding magazine ran the story and said Farrah was a jeweler and was shot while robbed. Which even then meant drugs.

[Van_Bilderass]

It was charged by another well know industry person, that George was a well known cook and source for trenbolone.

Past years he has preached low protein, low drugs and GH, lots of nuts and seeds, "think about life after bodybuilding." Then someone posts his diets for some professional bodybuilders and it's 400 grams of protein like everyone else. Of course he has to instruct his guys to use lots of GH and insulin, because otherwise they will not win. So the "health kick" is for whose benefit exactly? He talks like he advices his bodybuilders about this moderation. I just don't understand guys like
George, but maybe he makes all his money from "lifestyle clients" like all the coaches/trainers. Probably. To be fair, he told a pro I know that 8iu of good growth hormone is enough, but you know the top guys aren't satisfied with this.
