Really?! Wow, I mean, I know most people don’t follow the actual sport side of bodybuilding, but Levrone’s a legend, still considered by many as one of the best physiques to never win the Olympia. In fact, you’ll still find a lot of discussions online and in magazines about him many years after retiring. Vic Richards is one of those bodybuilders who has achieved almost an urban legend status. People will always be wondering how he would have done on the Olympia stage, but because he chose not to compete, it’s all just a what-if game.

Agreed. It is like not knowing who Flex Wheeler is. Some of these guys you pretty much need to know in order to discuss this activity in depth at all.
Ignoring all of them is what people do when they don’t plan on making much progress.

That is why I never got into learning names. There’s the fear of learning too much about people and not how to train.[/quote]

I can’t relate.
I know what Mike Mattarrazzo thought about training and eating.
I know how Flex Wheeler carb loaded for contests.
I know that Kevin dropped weight and avoided steroids in the off season every year.
These little facts help get a rounded view of all of this shit…and they keep you from falling for every “new” training idea that is really rehashed material from 1986.
Knowledge is power…and honestly, if you are really serious about this, you will need to know who many of these guys are.
If you aren’t that serious, than don’t worry about it.

Are you serious with this? You made a thread a couple years back where you couldn’t name the mandatory poses in a bodybuilding contest. Now your calling someone out because they aren’t familiar with certain bodybuilders of the past? People in glass houses shouldn’t cast the first stone.

Also you claimed you didn’t even know what a deadlift was for years until you came to this site, and now your adding them into your routine on a recommendation from CT. It’s because of posts like your last one that people can’t wait to grill you whenever you make an honest mistake. For the record i knew who both guys were long before this thread.[/quote]

Going around and labeling every disagreement or valid point towards PX as X hate is getting old[/quote]
Yeah I’m done with my little trolling spat
