- Joe WeiderJoe loves the sport and has helped many in the sport of bodybuilding.....but on the other hand i also think the weiders have held it back as well.....Yes they started a magazine wich grew and then the IFBB they were involved in.....started contests...but here were other mags other contests..etc....Then came all thsat **** with orgaanizations if you compete in one you cant do another? Why not people who love to compete and want to compete.....if your org dosent have show on that time of year..let people compete......Yes they gave money to bodybuilders and the sport.....but look at what the bodybuilders did for them.....look at the millions they made of people blood sweat and tears.....I think they should have given more back.....they could have put a million or more in an interest bearing account for retired bodybuilders to still get something back.....so yes weiders did alot for ther sport but look at what bodybuilders did for them..........
Golds gym great back in the day.....now it's just a dog and pony show.....people prancing around....girls wanting to be discovered etc.....Gold's today is nothing like it was bak in the 70s 80s to late 90s......which is a shame.......
- Mike Mentzer and Wayne de MillaMike he was cool we owuld chat in Golds very nice down to earth guy.......
Wayne he and i had our run ins...The night beofre the San fran show in 2002 before athletes meeting he and i had huge argument about a story i did in md.....we were yelling at each other....after that i told cathy well there goes me doing any good tomorrow...but come the show i won...after show Wayne said....i bet your suprised you won after we had our run in...I said yes...He said look lee i dont hokd that against people..but i do like you because you tell it how it is....things might never change but atleast you stand up and speak about it..Lee you ask me why the IFBB does what it does ..because we can....we know if we say do this or that the bb will do it..sure you might say something but you guys are stupid and will not stand together.....people either likede or hated Wayne or both depends what mood he was in...
I dont know why he was kicked out of IFBB nor do i care......Since Jim has taken over it all seems to be going great...bodybuilders seem happy contest are run smooth.....so things have changed for ther good and keep getting better for all involved..Jim has been in the sport for a long time and knows how to make things run well...and how to keep the bodybuilders happy wich can be a big job .....especialy when you have a heap of them dieted down and not in goo mood ......
- Ronnie and LevroneKevin is funny..likes a drink ot two..well he use to...I remeber in 97 first Mr O i went o his room to tan him...he was sitting in corner asking how do i think i will go i said..hey i am just happy to be there...he said no lee you must want to win...it's war....then he reached over to the table where he had a gun and said yeah it's war.....mmmmm Kevin maybe alittle crazy ...but had fun time over seas with him on euro tour...he would always borrow stuff of people and you never get back lol.....On plane back from eruope kevin had to many vodkas and was alking around plane shirt undone pants half off..it was quite funny.
