OK here`s a quick one.....I got a million of`em !!  LOL  ;D

I`m doing the Rochester BB Contest and Bob Chic is Mcing the show as always.................. ........I entered a shitload of classes plus the bench press with bodyweight for reps contest..

Strangest thing that happened to me though was that George Farrah walks up to me back stage and wishes me a happy birthday and says,I hope           'I look as good as you do when I`m your age.

I have no clue how he knew it was my birthday but it was  prettty damn cool of him to do that.

More coming !!

When I have more time, I will post a few stories about that fucking no good toe rag Kenny Jones.  That dude tried a million different hustling schemes and failed at everyone of them.
That dude seemed totally weird,never met him and iit`s  probably a good thing I didn`t.

I was in NYC at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center doing the Atlantic States contest.

I go to the lobby and who do I see but King Kamali..............of course I`m gonna say something to him despite hearing on here constantly that he was a complete asshole.

He had a booth with shirts,pics,and posters and such.

I go up to him,introduce myself, and he is a real down to Earth guy and just cooler than shit.

Then I tell him that I post on getbig..............he starts cracking up laughing and tells me not to mention it to anyone on here or they will hate me for fraternizing with the enemy or some such remark.

I did mention it here too.............on the way out as I was leaving,he gave me a signed poster free of charge.......freaked me out..........totally opposite of what I had heard about him.

Shawn Ray next.

We`ve all heard stories about how Shawn Ray can be a jerk..........I`m .in Pittsburgh once again and they always have a huge buffett with bb style food for the contestants.

Shawn was eating,butI figured fuck it and asked him if I could take a few pics.................... he replied very nicely that it would be no problem.

Mind you he had a huge plate of food,a doorag on his head sitting alone quietly and my dumb ass is bothering him.

He was cool to me.

Later when we had to pump up in this very narrow hallways area,Shawn stayed back there with us and talked for hours about all kinds of shit.

Met him originally in Orlando Fl. but had no chance to speak to him.

Short story on Mike Mattarazzo next!!

OK,here we go again back in Pittsburgh.......the Masters Nats was like my Olympia so I entered quite a few times despite Sandy Ranalli ! LOL  ;D

Mike Matarazzo was schedule to guest pose and he looked fucking terrible..........over 300 pounds and just jiggly fat everywhere.

Now you would normally think that the crowd would boo a guy who looked like this right off of the stage.

Instead,Mike went up onstage,took the microphone and sincerely apologized to the crowd for how he looked...........he was so sincere that the crowd was deathly quiet.

He said since he was contracted to pose that he would anyway...........took off his pants,showed his calves,ripped his shirt off ala Huk Hogan and walked around amongst the crowd posing..............peop le went apeshit.........they loved him.

Keep in mind that he looked bad but he was such a sincere person nobody gave a flying fuck if he was out of shape or not.

Backstage I told him I was from Massachusettes and I couldnt`t get him away from me.............talked about Mass. and back home for quite a while.

Great guy!!


RIP

OK,this story kind of segways into the next one I`m gonna get into.

Anyone here remember a powerlifter named Glen Chabot.........he benched 725 one year at the Arnold Classic.

Here`s a pic..............he weighed 315 with abs I shit you not.



Glen trained at our gym and we wee pretty good friends until his girlfriend became the bitch of the week!!

His old lady worked the desk at the gym.........one night after training a few clients I was leaving to go home.................... .........said goodbye to her and she said some shti to the effect that shed be off in 30 minutes and she was going home to get laid.

My dumbass replies that I`m going home to keep in touch with myself because I was the best lover I ever had!   :o

Of course I was kidding but she started freaking out and yelling that she was gonna get Chabot to kick my ass//////////////huh !!  :o

Later that night the gym owner calls me up in a panic and says that Glen is gonna kill me and that I better not come to the gym for a while untiul he can cool off.

YEAH RIGHT!!

I am not a bad ass but I fear no one and I figured that this matherfacker had to lay down to do his 650 pound benches and that`s when I got the idea that it would be a perfect time for a 45 pound Olympic bar to the head and face area! LOL   :o

So I go into the gym next morning and I see him across the entire length of the gym............then he stars slowly walking my way,so I start walking his way.


We meet in the middle and he gives me a huge bear hug and tells me that he was only pissed for a minute because of all the gear he was on andthat his chick was a jerk.

Lucky for him is all I got to say!  LOL   8)

OK,this is he story that segways from the Glen Chabot story.

Glen ttold everyone in the gym that on Monday night he was gonna bench 650 for a triple.

That night soon came,the gym was packed,Chabot had his weight monkeys who loaded and unloded the bars for him.

IT WAS FUCKING MOBBED !!

I`m standing there with my then training partner a skinhead kid (lots more on this kid later) named Scoty Peppooon.

All of a sudden I spy this short stocky guy across the gym who looks like it could be Dave Mastorakis.

Got to a little backs story on this so it makes more sense....I`ll try o keep it brief.

I mentioned Dave Mass in another thread and said how I idolized the guy........he looked fucking insane for those times and lived locally so it was inspiring for me to witness him training.........again,keep in mind not a lot of bodybuilders back then at all and hardly any gyms either.

OK here comes the faggy part.......being beatdown by my drunken father all of my young life,I had no self esteem or self confidence so I never really spoke to Dave very much .......I was really introverted to say the very least.

My father used to beat us up and break my mothers nose and knock her teeth out so I was just a tad fucked up in the head department.............. STILL AM!! LOL  ;D

I remember doing chinups  in my doorway as a kid and my father telling met hat only fa gs lifted weights................. he was not Matty Ferrigno ! LOL  ;D

By this time in my life though,I was outspoken and a crazy ass mofo who did cray ass shit, so speaking to Dave was not a biggie for me.

Fuck Chabot and his 650 for a triple shit,i wanted to talk to the legend  Dave Mastorakis.

Dave had just recently returned from California after living there for decades........he  trained the likes of Leonard Nimoy,Jane Fonda,and many other celebs...............he was basically one of the very first PT`s.

Dave did remember me and we watched Chabot do his triple with 650 like a hot knife through butter.................b ut we talked about the old days and Cali and Mountain Park,The Mentzers who Dave trained with since he was 16 or so off and on.

I posed on Daves website "The Lords Of Discipline" modeling shirts and shit with my buddy Greg Robbins and then I sold shirts for Dave at the gym since I knew everybody who trained there.

If no one bought a shirt,I`d but it myself............I wanted Dave to do good...................h e`s a great friend and I gotta give him a call soon........it`s been far too long.

It was one of the best nights of my life ..................in sobriety that is!  :D

That is not true.  Chris said many times (and his friends did too) that he never did coke (or heroin).  He was strictly a severe pot and mushroom head.  He actually owned a huge mushroom farm at one point of time with some other guys.  He never really went into details about it, just talked about the various types and shit, but I heard another person say once that one of the guys that owned it with him was murdered and the case never solved.  I do not know how true that story is.  But I do know he did own the farm.  And he was a chronic pot head, smoking all day.  A doctor up in NY once moved him in for about 7 months to live with him and he (the doctor) smoked a lot of pot himself.  But he told me that Chris was like a chimney.  He would get so blazed up that he had to have a couple of adderall and coffee to make it to the gym.  He often went long periods without actually training, he just had good genetics.  But then at times, he would go clean in one day, stay clean for a long time (5-6 months) and hit the gym hard, get in shape, become popular with the people around him and suddenly... back to the mushroom and pot fog.

I think you mean Don Long.  I am referring to the short pro whose nickname was "Box".  I think it was Jeff.

Yes, his mind really out there.  He would go from diet tips to an idea of building a better light bulb, to how cell phones caused brain cancer, to politics in Rwanda, to how our gov't could more easily control our population unlike China, if they started imbedding long term birth control in tattoo ink and cigerettes. 
Mushrooms had really fried his mind.

Yeah.  Then went over to Golds but it quickly became "Zoo" and everyone left.  I've never encountered him farting, but back then at Worlds and Gold's he had this small ass Honda Civic hatchback.  It had to be an 89 or something.  I don't know how he crammed 300lbs into that thing without a shoehorn to get in and a can opener to get out.  Paul is a very nice guy, but he was/is very poor.  Coming from Jamaica he had practically nothing in his pockets.  He trained people for money but never got much.  His cycles were laughably small dose.  I honestly think that if he had access to funds for drugs and food... he could have been the next Dillet.  Dude had great potential but lack of $$$ held him back.
My story on Duffy was just what the store owner told us...............I definitely believe yours over his............just sayin` !
