How long has he been training and he working all the time or is he in school as well.

startes when he was 14, broke the IL State Viking record when he was 16 for bench press, 145 class benching 315. he would have took over all, but someone beat him in squat and deadlift. no college, just full time contruction for about 2 years, works 8-10 hours, then after the gym he goes to sleep, he has no life, haha.

hes goin after the 495 bench, he could care less about bringin his squat and deadlift up, he walks 30-60 flights of stairs a day and breaks concrete all day... im suprised he is still making gains. in no way is his lower body weak, he still hits 405 on squat and deads, i think he just has no motivation to get his lower body stronger.. he complains his back hurts everyday from work.. so, basically, he is workin on his upper body.

I think thats complete bullshit that Waller didn't steal the shirt. I read that interview too in Flex, and it seems to me like Arnold was just trying to make excuses for why him, and some of his friends were dicks back then. He talks about how he was really friends with Lou, and how Lou's dad was good to him. Bs!

First off, at the actual CONTEST, Mike asks Grant if he's seen his shirt, Grant then tells Mike that Waller had it. If the whole t-shirt thing was staged months AFTER the contest, then why would Grant tell Mike that Waller had it during the contest? Big ass loop hole right there.

And whats this shit Arnold was talking about how Lou's dad was good, and how Arnold was friends with Lou. Lou has mentioned many times that his father was mentally abusive, and that he now forgives his father.

I think that whole article from Flex was bs.

Thats too bad. . .construction pays good, but you get an ass beatin' from it. We had a guy at our high school that had the national record in Bench Press and deadlift in the 140lb class. It was 1994 and he was pressing 308 and deadlifting 510. Hell thats 10 years ago, and obviously athletes are stronger and bigger these days. Hell there are probably 7th graders out there pressing close to 400lbs.

Did the article in Flex has any recent pictures of these guys? My subscription ended months ago because i was sick of all the adds and same training methods.

Yes, there have been a few recent pics of the guys in Flex lately. Also in the updated version of Pumping Iron, they show the guys today.

Waller looks like a frail old man. He just looks horrible. Mike Katz looks like a jolly old fat man. Ed Corney looks ok for a man who couldn't even walk until recently. Franco looks good, not big by any means, but just good and healthy.

Arnold looks good, especially now that he got ready for T3 (heres some on the set pics from T3: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=1295467 and http://forum.bodybuilding.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=1295475

Lou Ferrigno looks the best. He looks just as good as he did in 75, and then some. He is still HUGE.

They didn't show Serge, Robby, etc. But I did see some recent pics of Robby, and he is still swole. Then again, he's been doing the Masters O up until just a few years ago.

Once I get my digital camera working, I'll take some screen shots from the Annv Special, and try to get them on a website for you.

yeah it did have recent pics

they all looked pretty big, lou looked good, so did franco

katz looked good besides his hideous hairstyle

as for the shirt, it makes sense that they filmed it after, he pointed out how they filmed the scene where the guys were throwing the football around and ken was plotting to steal the shirt after the contest, and this makes sense.

you don't plan on stealing a tshirt that far in advance, and how lucky was it they were there filming and the guys were talking loud and shit, too set up for me

 

[c3bodybuilding]

But how do you explain Mike Katz asking Paul Grant DURING the contest if he's seen his t-shirt, and Paul telling Mike that Waller had it?

If Waller didn't really take the shirt, and it was staged way after the contest, then how come Paul told Mike that Ken stole it? Also during the Annv. Special Waller admits he took it.

If you can do this. . . this would be great!!

I am looking for the software that runs my digital camera, it's around here somewhere. As soon as I find it, I'll take pics of all of them. It's weird seeing them all so old though, I'll tell you that much.
