[@lichtsoldat7697]

So many truths coming out. The real story. Fantastic. Thank you!

[@jan6485]

Very cool video , bodybuilding history . Thank you Spase for keeping bodybuilding Alive 💪🏾

[@SPASEINC]

My pleasure brother! Thank you for the support 🙏

[@Umbriel-c8r]

I recall being at world gym in 1982 and seeing Padilla on the standing calf machine. Also as I was leaving Joe Gold was coming up the stairs

[@Dad-Gad]

That's it ?

[@Umbriel-c8r]

@@Dad-Gad me and the friend I was with had a long chat with Ray. My friend had just competed in the junior national powerlifting in Portland and flew to stay with his aunt in west LA.rally amazing experience at that age and time. My friend, fresh from the contest was squatting with quite a lot and was just 20 and Padilla seems to take notice but we never talked to him as he was in the middle of his workout.the gym was all but empty on an early afternoon at Worlds

[@JRepReptile]

I was a huge Arnold fan up until listening to Robbie Robinson story. It’s sickening now that I know Arnold was a snake.

[@Mike-sm5kq]

did it not ring a bell , when he became a politician

[@lrm215]

I’m really enjoying these videos thank you

[@SPASEINC]

My pleasure. Thank you for watching 🙏

[@GIJose]

Great video series. Enjoy the history. With the sunglasses though you remind me of DC Plastic Man.

[@ericlarkins]

Ken did so much for bodybuilding, so much! Personally, I wouldn't stick it in the end as a means to an end, but he did quite well at the time and really used it in a strategic way to leverage himself.

[@dreambigdoc]

What many people don't know about Ken, since they don;t know anything about him, but perhaps soe low hanging fruit, is he is the father of three accomplished children. One is a high school administrator for a school distrcit in Atlanta Georgie, and he was in his college days, the co-captain of the University of Oregon basketball team. Ken's daughter was a USC grad, and is a healthcare professional today. His youngest son was an all conference shot putter at Stanford, and runs his own tech company today. Ken also has been a lifelong advocate of civil rights, putting his time and money where his mouth is.

[@PaulPupp]

@@dreambigdoc Wasn't Ken himself working as a teacher, can't recall where as it has been a while, but GA sounds close to the mark.

[@dreambigdoc]

Yes, in Oregon where his son with his third wife was an all state shot putter, and then when he moved to Atlanta, he committed to teaching advanced physics, trig and calculus to underserved kids from poor communities.

[@xBestAlex]

Wow awesome review on BB history 🔥💯

[@originalxjack]

That is really interesting!

[@knightveg]

when young i had both Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding books by Arnold Schwarzenegger just shows that we're learning difficult i miss nugget of information thank for sharing

[@stevespeyrer1804]

He Did The Same To Vince's Gym.

[@PaulPupp]

In Arnold's defense Vince did call Arnold a "Fat Fuck" when they first met....

[@shaundouglas2057]

@@PaulPupp But at that time Arnold was! Vince told it as he saw it and by all accounts he certainly would not have put up with Arnolds crap when people were training.

[@moses9512]

Is ken still alive

[@SPASEINC]

Yes, he is

[@PaulPupp]

Ken was not just an "Adult Movie Star", but they were gay adult movies. Ken also had a 30K sq/ft film studio, which is still in existence.

[@Ease54]

You might be surprised at a few of his co-stars...

[@PaulPupp]

@@Ease54 No, I wouldn't be surprised. I know who they were, and that is best not broadcasted, which is why I didn't mention it.

[@PaulPupp]

The reason Arnold did not care for Ken all went back to the gay issues, which is odd because we've all heard the stories of Arnold posing for gay men, either in the nude or in his underwear, at private shows. The fact is there were and are gay guys in BBing. Including former Mr Olympias.

[@dreambigdoc]

Yup, and funny how many of the big Joe Gold supporters looked the other way on his private life. Joe was at best bi, and at worst, a self loathing gay man. He left whatever his estate was to Gordon Mitchell. Gordon backed the opening of World Gym.

[@JeffStark-e1o]

Interesting.Good intel.

[@zardoz7900]

You should look into Arnold allegedly running a car theft ring and they had some other guy do time instead.

[@MrDarrelln64]

Lies! That is absolutely not true!

[@lateralus2199]

@@MrDarrelln64 How so?

[@shaundouglas2057]

That guy would be Paul Graham head of the ifbb here in Australia, but as far as i know it wasn't car theft it was more like insurance fraud.

[@carljacobson7156]

I don't think that Arnold had any problems with Gay people - he was always friends with a number of Gays. The issue may have been that Ken Sprague was a Gay Porn Actor, and Arnold may have felt that this would cast suspicion on him - especially once he was trying to become a mainstream actor.

[@strengthmuscle5529]

Ken put Arnolds posing routines (w/ out permission) into one of his gay "man fukking" porn "movies". Arnold wasnt happy about it...

[@JeffStark-e1o]

What was the point behind having Robby at the interview?He was never asked any questions.The other guy did all the talking.WTF.😮

[@preachinoldschool5726]

i heard also that Ron Teufel got hooked by the Adult Movie Industry & died a tragic death 🤔

[@larrydowling]

i preferred world gym ,no music no stress ,no keeping up with the joneses,every morning Arnold was there ar 8am and doing what he loves ,no one cared,joe was in his chair always when i was there ,bob paris was keeping to him self,everyone loved this type of place.GOLDS WAS FOR SHOW OFFS ,just my reflection.i truely miss them days ,wish i could go back in time ,it kills me thinking how much fun i had,Arnold was joker ,he laid so many woman ,it was not funny,how did he get caught dropping his leg over the maid ,make no sense does it.

[@akabucy2456]

The truth about Arnold is FINALLY coming to out...........

[@philipdru9290]

Robby sounds like Jar Jar.

World gold arnold ❤

[@WarriorForHim316]

Arnold is and always has been a phony

[@knightveg]

Arnold always used reverse psychology, he had great mental strength, he knew what to say to manipulate and motivate people it was people with weak minds find that Arnold was too much for them, but if read a lot bodybuilding books books from 1940's to 80's you find that were a lot psychology and how to build a strong mind, it was part of bodybuilding philosophy to be mentally strong, what is miss from the 90s to the internet generation bodybuilding as people nowadays are mentally weak.

[@shaundouglas2057]

@@knightveg Arnold did not have mental strength, he had a big mouth that almost cost him his role in conan. And i met a photographer who often photographed the shows who said arnold was as dumb as batshit and he could easily be made to look like an idiot but was often way to egotistical and stupid to realize how big of a fool he often made himself appear towards others. Many a photographer at the shows would inwardly groan when arnold approached them to tell them if they take any photos of him without his consent he'd be suing them, none of them took his stupid threat seriously. It certainly appears the more i learn about Arnold the more it seems he is where he is today by manipulating deception and betraying others to further his own personal gain.

[@terenceslater9480]

​@@knightveg arnold cant act how about that

[@hoytbell355]

I’m not going to call any names but he kind of has the similarities of the person who’s in charge of running the country for the next four years.🤷

[@davidseva6533]

does Arnold tell about the porn videos of Ken & Rick and others

[@SPASEINC]

Feel free to share your stories in the comments. Thank you

[@oldnatty61]

Serge Nubret Trumped them all.

[@John8-58]

I agree

[@georgeageorgopoulos]

Serge Nubret beat Arnold all the time, His only shortcoming was he was less tall than Arnold!!!!

[@RM-306]

Serge had a weak back and weak legs. Geat physique, but he never could beat Arnold.

[@Lousy-Looter]

Thats not a shortcoming he was 6foot,all the pros now are barely over 5feet

[@MrDarrelln64]

Ken Sprague looks and sounds gay.

[@bradhuskers]

More BS

[@dreambigdoc]

Either didn't watch the video, or you couldn't understand what was being said. SMH.

[@lateralus2199]

@bradhuskers Elaborate on that, fella

[@JohnLutz-r4t]

You're 'hero' was a fake.

[@bradhuskers]

​@@lateralus2199 Sure. Do you guys understand anything about bodybuilding?

[@jimmansi1187]

It’s not BS, just google Ken Sprague & you’ll see what they were talking about. Ken was doing gay porn with many of the mid to lower level bodybuilders of that era as they needed the money because there was no money in bodybuilding. These guys backed up everything with written facts
