Bob Paris - very true to what he says

[SS]

if you are skinny you will have a small waist, but when i see the big guys at my gym getting ready for a show and practicing their posing they look like they're ready to give birth.

[Rearden Metal]

yeah i know "rearden" you're the only one who can diet and maintain size, i'm the only human being on earth with 100 percent bodyfat and not one ounce of muscle. hahahaha, yeah BTW 244 is TINY at 5'11".

yeah I know "squad", I am the only one capable of this. That's why I'm 15 time mistah olympeeya.

244 at 5"11 isn't tiny. It's pretty heavy. But your 244 isn't muscular, or "big". You look like a plumber.

[dorkeroo]

hahahahahaha, some of these clowns make me laugh with this "genetically blessed structure" as if there is a different subspecies of human being with a TOTALLY DIFFERENT bone structure than "normal" human beings.

You're an idiot but you sure get responses on here.

[SS]

LMAO @ all the sarcasm haters.

[Overload]

Bob has a very good attitude.

[warchild]

Hahaahaha

So true   

[MisterMagoo]

Hey Zach lookin' great there bro.  What's your height/weight in that pic and what waist size pants do you wear?

haha, i think "great" is overstating. i look "not bad". 6'2" on a good day, i think i was around 232 when that shot was taken and my waist is 34-35" around at the bellybutton.

hell i've never claimed i looked particularly good. but think about this: sarcasm weighed around 230 in that picture he posted, since he was 239 then claimed he lost 9 pounds before putting that shot up. he's 6' tall. i'm barely two inches taller, slightly heavier. consider that and think about which one of us has more muscle tissue.

i never gave a fig about being shredded, i just knew that 267 was stupidly big. so at 230-ish i can get 315 on the bench with a full one second pause (and i'm not all arched like i used to be either), i pulled 500 even on monday. that's perfect for me.

[phyxsius]

That's the truth about bodybuilding.. Steroids kills bodybuilding

[ToxicAvenger]

i can't believe how small he looks in clothes, i look fatter than him and i'm not even near a pro, epic 1986 permed hair BTW.

fixed

[Rearden Metal]

LMAO @ all the sarcasm haters.

Hahahahahahahaaaaa!!! It's too easy!!!

etc...

[The Coach]

Those type of practices didn't happen till years later.

And quite frankly I don't know why they do now

[TheEgoCrusher]

yeah i know "rearden" you're the only one who can diet and maintain size, i'm the only human being on earth with 100 percent bodyfat and not one ounce of muscle. hahahaha, yeah BTW 244 is TINY at 5'11".

You're fat and weak. 

Hope this helps.

[OneManGang]

how much you wanna bet Jim? i'm currently 243 pounds at 5'11" drug free with a waist under 40 inches.

Hey Squatfatter, looking at your photo it is quite obvious that you are way shorter than 5'11. That phone looks very big in your small hands. You are maximum 5'8-5'9, but on Getbig you grow to 5'11 behind your keyboard. So in your words, you are suffering from a brutal small mans syndrome, hahahah!

[Nuge]

Hilarious.

Bob Paris has one of the best physiques of all time, and all Squadfatter can say is that he's bigger than him. Big deal, so are Alex23 etc. and half the "powerlifters" (strong dudes with short limbs at 30% bodyfat, so basically nothing special) at my gym. I would kill for genetics like Paris's... 

[Fulgorre]

Did Bob Paris ever pull a Kai Greene (grapefruit)?  I do not think so

[Disgusted]

And quite frankly I don't know why they do now

Ego and the belief that you have to get fat to grow.

[EL Mariachi]

hahahaha, maybe but i'm still bigger than him.

strip down to 10 % bodyfat and you will have 15 inch arms. ill bet your mother on that. and im being generous with you italiano

[BEAST 8692]

bob paris was huge.

why don't people get that? probably because he was so well proportioned that nothing in particular stood out.

a friend of mine who weighed 200lbs said he wanted to look like bob paris and he went on to explain that he didn't want to get too big, as if to imply 1. that he had the genetics/potential to actually get 'too big' and 2. that bob paris was not that big.

trying to give him the best advice i was capable of giving, i told him that the first thing he had to do was work his way up to a solid 275lbs which was going to be impossible without ergogenic aids (the guy was a seasoned, but natural bber) and cut back down to approx 220lbs.

he looked at me in disbelief and said that he 'thought' that all he had to do was tone up what he had.

i tried to keep a straight face as i explained to him just how much more pure muscle bob paris had on his body than he did. as i pointed out, paris would be at least 75lbs heavier than him in the same condition (actually think more now).

it amazes me how deluded people are about this stuff. bob paris competed at around 220 - 225lbs. he was massive by any standards.

[Rudee]

This video has been posted here several times before.

[the_doc]

I would love to look like Paris for even 1 day. i still like the powerfull physiques like dillet, ruhl, fux but paris is incredible and much closer to  2 a "healthy" look.

[njflex]

I knew someone who saw paris in the late 80's at gold's and said he was one "not the biggest" but one of the biggest he saw in person,said his calves looked like footballs were sewn in.a pro is pro for many reasons other than weight mass.

[The Coach]

Ego and the belief that you have to get fat to grow.

BINGO!!

[shiftedShapes]

You're an idiot but you sure get responses on here.

yes he spent a lot of time posting his one liners to build up a group of people that respond to him.  Part of it I think is that replying to him gives a high probability of response, which reinforces the behavior.

[Earl1972]

chicks literally threw themselves at him

if you don't want to look like him you are gay

[HowieW]

BOB IS A GREAT GUY....EVERY TIME WE TALKED OR HE CAME TO VISIT VERY DOWN TO EARTH AND VERY PROFESSIONAL

NICE SEEING JOE GOLD ALSO IN THAT VIDEO DOING A FEW BENCHES

Thanks for the link. In my opinion this is how a pro bodybuiler should look, speak and behave.
His views are right on the money to make the sport grow. Some will crack on his sexuality and use that as an excuse to dismiss his ideas. I now have a model for how I would like my physique to look.
