For me it was Don Long when he appeared for the grand opening of Gold's Gym.

King Kamali...
this was him at like 300 pounds...nice guy tho. although i know he's hated by many. I guess he was far from "carb depleted" so he had no reason to be edgy or mean that day...lol

In public or private?

In public: Jay Cutler. He guest posed at a Mass state championship back in the day... came out in the audience and walked up and down the aisles flexing and getting felt up.

In private: I'm not allowed to say.

I was sitting in the 3rd row at
the first Mr Olympia contest. Joe Weider sat one seat away from me.
The next thing I know, this behemoth of a man squeezes into the seat between me and Weider. This guy was so huge he was incredible. He asked me in broken english if the Mr. Oympia had started. It was none other than Sergio Oliva before he really became the Myth.
For a 20 year old in 1966 it was quite a moment for me.

i met Rodney St Cloud at a porn convention in NYC of all places. it was last year on the same day as the NY Pro. he was like, "ya know there's a show today". and i was like, "...yea. it was either this or that for me". and we both laughed at how we were in a porn convention instead of looking at oiled up dudes in hteir underwear.

In contest shape REAL LIFE his back is wider than Ronnie Colemans, the freakiest part were the traps from the back looking, Ronnie Coleman also looked huge first thing you see on him are his huge arms, Gunter is the largest person you will ever meet in person though, not only is he tall but no matter how much you weigh you feel like he is going to walk all over the place now wonder he smiles all the time he might have to to keep some from being to scared. Jay has the best shape offseason of all though, delts just round out and he keeps tan and fit so when you meet him fans get the real picture

Late 70's.........(a gym in Brooklyn, NY...I forget the name as they scammed everyone and closed 3 months after they opened)..............Boyer Coe & Mike Mentzer did a seminar and posed afterwards. They were both in contest shape...ripped. I still haven't seen calves like that ever again.......2 sets of them. Coe had a one of a kind shape; very unique. Mentzer was very thick w/ huge arms/long full muscle bellies.

We gave them both a hard time during the posing and yelled out "no calves"....they laughed so hard they couldn't pose.

.........very cool guys.
