RIP Big Al Fortney

[opietaylor]

If you weren't around the nationals scene about 15-20 years ago you wouldn't know Al. Passed away at 55 this week. Was connected with Animal/Universal I believe. 55 way to young.

It's always sad to learn of one of ours passing way too young. Did he leave behind any family?

I knew Al and worked out with him a few times in DE and MD, back in the late 1990's he was the leanest power lifter I ever saw - he was benching 575 for reps in the gym at 240. We kept in touch over the years now and then, he transitioned to a monster bodybuilder.He also was very kind and generous person.

Very sad to hear.

This lifestyle is not a healthy one post 40 -45.

RIP
