Nick im pretty sure 'Notorious B I G' was an intentional pun lol
Man that V taper is ludacris…stats are bit shady…but he is "good lookin".
Idk how legit them stats are. If they're true then they trump Ronnie's monstrous stats when he packed on the meat prepping for Ruhl that one year, and he was a stack of steaks that Olympia according to Levrone.
he is very strange,,he used to hang out at the red o in sun set beach,,,,,,,but you have eyes dont you,,,,and hes at lease 6 foot tall
What was his waist size?
Was Victor Richards the best bodybuilder to ever turn pro? I find a "no" answer to be untenable. His mass, conditioning and aesthetics are one-of-a-kind.
1) There is no way in hell his arms are 26 inches.
2) He does have a really good physique.
Victor was a pro he won a show in Africa that got him his pro card
Fucking freak big. OMG!
I think the last show he did was one where Rich Gaspari beat him (conditioning) and Vic decided he did not want to compete again. He just loved to train and be huge. The Barbarian Brothers were his teen idols and he trained with them. I do think Vic would have been an unbelievable pro and def one of the best that did not turn pro because he did not care if he was a pro or not. He certainly could have turned pro with ease and likely if he brought the size and a high level of conditioning, he would have been a huge threat to the Mr O title.
Dude was certainly massive with great potential. He was massive when everyone else was still paying catchup with Dorian. His photos from FIBO next to the Shadow are infamous. That said, his back was really poor as were his hamstrings I believe.
Someone's said Paul Gilbert?
How tall was he
Richards was so famous within bodybuilding during the late 80s and early 90s, and his status as the biggest mass monster ever so well established, he was being paid the same for guest appearances and seminars as the very best IFBB pros of that era, i.e, Haney, Gaspari, Labrada, Ray, Sonbaty and Yates. The fact that he never turned pro only added to the enigma of Mr Big. If he'd turned over then struggled, that enigma would have shattered, and his appearance fees would have dropped, so it was in his best interest never to turn pro.
Wow he’s drug free?
He had 26 inch arms. And dillet would surely drwarf him😒. Fakest stats ever 🤣
You need to drop more f bombs nick.. "who the fuck is this guy" 😂
Does this mean that he's the predecessor to the 90s mass monster?
Top level bodybuilders struggle to even get 3 arms and this guy has 26. Truly an uncrowned mr Olympia
I don't get the hype surrounding this guy – I never have. His torso is elongated, and has high lats(much worse than Dennis Wolf) + his legs seem pretty stumpy… Also his midsection to ribcage-ratio is not appealing at all, his torso is basically just a tube with waaayy too high lats. I have a very hard time imagining him looking impressive in the rear poses. But he had great triceps, and pretty decent biceps – I'll give him that.
You can follow your lil criteria. I'll believe my eyes.
This guy on nowadays classic physique. Toughts?
Bullshit he is bigger and more ripped then matt very humble anti drama guy yes he is the uncrowed Mr O
VR's in no way an uncrowded Mr.O, period. Do I believe he had the genetic potential to win that title? All day long, however to my knowledge he never came close to refining his physique to the point it would take to even be competitive. As far as him dwarfing Yates or whoever, he never dwarfed him/them in contest shape on contest day, that's competitive bodybuilding. Every hardcore gym I've ever trained at has had genetically well shaped Gym monster's where you say "Wow if that guy ever got shredded…….
