Mr. Wonderful Hits the Gym


Check this out!

My favorite line is where he tells the woman she is a pig and is not to touch him ever again.

I am actually thinking about changing my approach to personal training based on his approach.

Classic!

lol, and I do hope you’re kidding about changing your approach

That was great! Mr Wonderful kicks ass.

I know that was meant to be a joke but that douchy tool’s physique isn’t the least bit impressive. Not even slightly.

And…the guy who he kept kicking off the ab machine was more ripped than he was. WTF?

I used to train at a Nautilus gym in the early 80s. Still miss some of the equipment that you don’t see anymore. One piece of equipment that I haven’t seen in years is the Nautilus hip machine. It was kind of like a reverse hyper but you layed on your back and strapped yourself in. I actually prefer it to the reverse hyper. Another piece is the multi-station machine that you could do dips, chin ups, pull ups and calf raises all with a belt that attatched to a sizable weight stack for added resistance.

Hi Gordon,

I know that machine too. If I remember it correctly, Arthur Jones designed it for pregnant women so that they could continue the execrise later into their term.

Hi Jehova,

Yes, I am kidding. In real life Paul Orndorff is actually supposed to be a nice guy. This video was done to make him look like a bigger heel. I remember the one the WWF did with Dr. D David Schultz in which he verbally berated his family the whole time.

That was back in the glory years of wrestling with tony atlas and rocky johnson beating the wild samoans for the tag titles and tito santana fighting greg “the hammer” valentine for the intercontenental (sp?) belt.

That was funny. Kick ass! Lol!

On a more serious note, he has a beer belly.

I remember he had one of the best physiques in wrestling at the time.

Ah yes, the days of equipment that uses bicycle chains, good times…

Favorite part of the video: “All you women that are ready to leave your husbands for me, now you know why”, as he flexes what appears to be roughly a 16-17" arm, whilst claiming it to be 22". Classic.

That was great

Awesome.

I don’t know if your being sarcastic or not, but if you have never used the hip machine it is actually effective and not for pregnant women. What I really like about it was you could use one leg at a time or both legs. We also had one at my high school and the coaches recommended it for runners.

I’m too young to have ever seen any of the original Nautilus equipment but I gotta say the use of chains instead of cables is pretty badass looking. I’ve always wanted to get hold of the Nautilus Lat-Pulldown+Pullover machine.

Maybe if I start training on machines with 40 reps for Bi’s and Tri’s I can get 22’ Arms like Mr. Wonderful.

You know who else claims to have 22 inch arms?
Jay Cutler. And I think he outweighs Mr. Wounderful by more than 40 pounds.
