TOM PRINCE THEN AND NOW

abolish the weak · Jan 13, 2009

I dont understand this talk about guy's getting small or leaving the sport. Life goes on, people move on, circumstances in people's lives change. It has to be very difficult to be a pro and have a well balanced life. Mentally it has to get exhausting. Look at how much of our lives are dedicated to the sport just as weekend warrior/local competitors. so much so, that many of us dont go out, eat out, hold long term healthy relationships, etc etc. Maybe some of these guys are looking ahead more. After 35-40 yrs old, life goes on still. Sometimes you need a backup plan

Very true, he was on of the all time bests IMO.

I really felt for him and his wife when he got sick and he said simple blood work could of saved him. Warning to us all get your bloods done.

It was 2001 he got 3rd. I was confusing the years. Orville Burke won it in 2001 but nobody would have agrued if Tom did.

Tom had some of the best wheels I have ever seen. His hamstrings were almost untouchable. Its a shame his health took a turn for the worse. his rants on muscle mayhem in the beginning were classic. Back when mayhem was good. I'm glad to hear he has found another life after bodybuilding.
