you do know he hasnt been in top competetive shape in about 15 years right?your post is shallow bro and doesnt have anything solid to stand on

I think you misunderstand me, his frame is just unusually narrow for a Pro, muscled up or not, its hard to believe that a man with that Clavicular width with could of hung with the likes of Haney ect

i am not having a pop at him, really he was great, supa condition, but the dude is narrow

When one knows nothing its best to SHUT THE FUCK UP....
Rich was very overlooked,not many bodybuilders have his resumes of shows in which he was in.it also lead to his burn out.todays bodybuilders do 2 maybe 3 shows a year.he had no real weak points great in every way.......imo

Rich was the very first person to take vascularity to the extrememe, not a mass monster by anymeans but I think his vascularity/freakiness is what made him a serious contendor!

My advice: stop jacking off to Rich Gaspari and blaming him for your impotence.
Remedy: slitting your wrists in a warm tub to spare yourself from further embarrassment
What you totally missed: before you come on this board to insult a successful businessman
and former elite, top tier bodybuilder, get your shit together and make sure you make sense. Otherwise fuck off and die a grissly death you little dry girl.

Warm Regards,

N4J

although you sound like a mongoloid retard, gaspari did have narrow clavicles. even rich himself has talked about his "bad" genetics. but holy shit he made the best of it.

He never had a chance. I dont think he would have ever won it all

Dorian 01 · « **Reply #11 on:** June 30, 2006, 09:15:11 AM »

I dug up Babe Ruth last year, and shit, I don't think he could even hit a ball in his condition. Then I pissed on him and buried him upside down.

Lee Priest is narrower....dressed in a warm-up suit you wouldn't even know that he was a bodybuilder.

Rich made the most of what he had and you have to give it to him he was at one time the 2nd best bodybuilder on the planet .

Man, back in the day when I actually read the mags it was he and Haney everywhere. Now I see that picture of Rich and I think: what a young looking kid.

Gaspari was an uncrowed Mr O. Much like Platz he was not the widest guy around, but did he make it up with hardness, vascularity second to none, and he was ripped before people knew what ripped was.
Without Gaspari, there would have been no Muntzers nor Benazizas(and Gaspari lived to tell the tale), I'm referring to conditioning, not their untimely passings btw $:-\$ .
Then again Dickerson was Mr Olympia, and slap some clothes on the dude, would you say he was a bodybuilder? Maybe with shorts on, 'cause of the freaky calves.

What's up with Rich's right nipple ? It looks like It was taken off and put back on In the wrong spot.

What were you measuring with a ruler or do we want to know

DonDan · « **Reply #18 on:** June 30, 2006, 12:26:13 PM »

Rich is a very cool dude. One of the top when it comes to really knowing bbing. He's a successful business man with a beautiful wife...and as of late, now has a real family (a baby). The guy deserves much props for surviving this business. He's been in tons of mags, and he is very approachable at shows. Say what you want but he has secured a place in bb history!

HUGEPECS · « **Reply #19 on:** June 30, 2006, 12:37:39 PM »

one of the great smaller bodybuilder of all time.

Does not matter how wide he was in person, when he was on stage and in magazines this was the man that looked freaky, total conditioning.
Surprised he does not have a book or something, more people would want to look narrow, with slabs of granite muscle than to be wide and bulked.

JOHN MATRIX · « **Reply #22 on:** June 30, 2006, 01:43:50 PM »

he had great conditioning but thats it, he was super narrow and had horrible structure overall

Gaspari had more lean muscle in his right arm than you have in your entire body.
