This looks more like around 1986 or even early 1987. Luiz freitz wasn't in Venice much before then.

That's the way gyms should be - nowadays it's either smelly minorities hogging the equipment, or stony faced MMA queens shadowboxing their way to imaginary glory [holes]

I'm not positive but that looks like my ex-wife doing preacher curls next to Teagan. I remember her twlling me she saw Teagan doing some weird stuff and it looked like her but I just can't tell. If it was yes it was f-able for ME. Ha.

You mean Teagan Clive?

Samir’s back looked insane at the end of Part 3. Must have been all those Bent Rows we did.

Luiz raced against Mark Spitz in the 1976 olympics , Montreal .

seems like the golden age of bodybuilding had a lot to do with people wearing sweatpants when they worked out, not neon spandex that enables you to see the "pros" asshole veins when they squat.

Don Ross died early. A strange, wild individual wrestled and lived on the edge best I have read.

mike christian later admitted to being high on coke (and more) throughout most of the 80's, and trained sporadically, yet sported a very impressive physique, and seemed like a congenial fellow
