Those of you who have met a famous pro bodybuilder, what did he look/act like in person, did they match up to their online persona ?
 
Flex Lewis. Very down to earth, eager to chat.
Ronnie Coleman. So short! Very much a pro, all smiles and slogans! Seemed like a nice person.
Lee Priest. Very quiet but happy to chat.
Brandon Lilly. Bit of a messer, good fun!
Eric Lilliebridge. Really nice guy, had time for a lot of people coming up to him.
Misha Koklyaev. Super, SUPER eager to talk. So excitable.
Richard Hawthorne. Quiet, humble.
Sam Byrd. Nice guy, was also pretty quiet.
Benni Magnusson. Totally spaced out and just continuously smiling.
Andrey Malanichev. Not a lick of english but full of smiles!

Marcus Ruhl, quiet, seemed bored at the signing table, same with Ronnie Coleman. Even Ronnies fingers were muscly, his hand shake was weird.
Jay Cutler was cool, had a good chat to him about travelling & training. Also shorter than what I expected. Roelly Winklar was impressive, his arms were something else. Fuck all english tho, i had to spell my name to him a few times before he got it. lol
 
Too many to name.

Sonny Scmidt (RIP)
Aaron Baker (RIP)
Dave Dearth (RIP)
Lee Priest
Luke Wood (RIP)
Paul Dillett
Dennis Wolfe
John Terilli
Mike Quinn


Just to name a few.
 
Lee priest trained at the same gym as me while I was in Newcastle.
Nice bloke, quiet, trained hard as nails though for 5am
Edit: obviously he did, otherwise he wouldn't have been competing for Olympia back in the day...

Half of them aren't bodybuilders.

Did you learn anything?:D
 
I met Fister Roboto once. He was lying in the piss trough at the Cock & Bull.


True story.
 
That place is such a fucking dump!


Haha I haven't actually been there in about 10 years.



On topic, I used to lift at John Terilli's gym. Pretty chill guy for the most part. Unless people weren't putting their plates back in the right order that is lol.
