Vic Richards

[AggressiveAthletics]

Back in 06 I met Big Vic. He had moved to a suburb near where I live. I was amazed. He was still huge! We worked out at the same gym and we became friends. Very nice guy, liked to talk although I found him hard to understand at times. We talked about bodybuilding but we mostly talked about other things. I never asked him about gear until he asked me.

He said he was going to the olympia and wanted to be in shape. He spoke of starting his own supp. line and wanted to look like the big Vic everyone knew. He had little contacts here and asked if i could help him out. He told me he had been off for a year . First i was shocked he had been off because he was still huge! next to when I saw Ronnie in 2000 he was by far the biggest bodybuilder I had ever met. I believed him. He had no reason to lie and he had told me other things I will not repeat here. Of course I said sure ,what do you want?

1 bottle of deca. thats what he wanted 1 bottle of deca. Maybe he had more at home and just needed that to complete his cycle, but he told me thats all he needed to get in decent shape. Just a little story i wanted to share. With all the talk of mega doses and gh15 crap going around. Vic had told me his doses when he was at his biggest and its nowhere near what i know local competitors to be using.

and maybe he got caught with some stuff a few weeks ago and needed to rat someone out, a name to give to the cops. 1 bottle of deca? Sorry, but nothing in the story makes sense or matters. Vic Richards is the story of what coulda happened and I am sick of those! God gave him a bunch of talent and he buried it in his back yard!

thats a shit story lol

Believe what you want. I have no reason to lie. As far as vic needing a name to give the cops well that didn't happen. Vics a good guy. He's not a rat. Like I said he prob just needed it to complete his cycle. He was just wanting to go to the Olympia expo, not make his IFBB debut. Regardless, he was the biggest bodybuilder I ever saw next to Ronnie. His genetics for size was unparalleled. Imagine if he had the drive of Dorian!

Was it drive or was it simply personal choice? Vic is definitely his own man.

And I'm not surprised he's bigger on no gear than local competitors are on all the sauce in the world. He's made for bodybuilding.

Eddie Robinson said in an interview that he became a bodybuilder because he looked like a bodybuilder -- even before he lifted weights.

That is why I don't have aspirations to be a pro or top level NPC guy...If I stop lifting I look like crap! I look like a linebacker for a D2 school, but darn sure not a bodybuilder.

Not calling you a liar...I just hate hearing anything about a guy that does nothing with all that God given talent. He was a mooch as far as Im concerned and never earned anything. Coulda Shoulda all the time with him. I don't want to hear it...you even said, just imagine...

I always thought of Vic as the black Andy Kaufman. I spent some time with him and can confirm that he relished in his mischief and mockery. I was judging a regional show in Flintridge, Ca. near L.A. in the 80s. Both Vic and Sergio were there to guest pose. Half way thru Sergio's routine Vic came out and attempted a pose down. At first Sergio went for it but then left the stage PISSED OFF. And yes Vic was IMO better. Glad they did not come to blows. I later drove a stone silent Sergio and his wife to the airport. Vic always supported himself and to my understanding never stood up a sponsor and run with the money. He mooched off no one.

I met Vic back in 2006 also -- I believe he lost his contract from Weider and actually was applying to work at the Vitamin Shoppe lol --- but it was clear he was trying to get an 'IN' in peddling some supplements he had...

Was very large still and profusely sweated. He was very nice social. As far as him needing just 1 bottle of nandrolone....it sounds odd and the idea that hes just adding to other compounds would make sense...

But hey -- that would be pretty amazing if that is all he wanted literally haha

I will say I was out of line when I called him a mooch. I don't know him well enough. I just get sick of these thread popping up every few months to year.
