Remember seeing Tony first on USA network the old Madison Square Gardens. He’s the reason I got into weight training. Bad ass. Good to see him here

[@AlexThorn]

I love it, Tony is old school and knows wtf he's talking about

[@HoustonIsImmortal]

His physique was easily the greatest of it's time, rivaled only by legends like Ivan Putski and Superstar Billy Graham. In his prime, Tony's V-taper was unbelievable, indicating that he was able to maintain a strict training and eating regimen, even with the psychotic work schedules pro wrestling required during the territory days. 💪🏿💪🏿🇺🇸

So Tony Atlas was basically on the Paleo diet before it was called Paleo.

[@andrewkruzienski770]

Pretty much all the guys from the Golden Era were doing low carb, Atkins whatever u want to call it.

Tony Atlas sounds like such a great dude with a lot of knowledge. Thanks for interviewing him!

[@buffalomind6838]

This message I have not heard in a long time & it is so timely in what I care to do starting today. Thanks guys.

[@MrAitraining]

I'm no body builder but Tony's eating choices when he was training is exactly how I try to eat. Get low carbs naturally from fruit, veg and meats. I always look and feel better when I do.

[@ReelLions]

Great video. Very informative and straight to the point.

[@royce1041]

Awesome and informative interview

[@MachoMecca]

Thanks brother.

[@abudujana13]

Thanks for the video

[@mastersironmantarmstrong7148]

I still think Tony had the best physique in wrestling.
He looks less artificial and chemical than the newer guys.
He was taller and lighter than Ted Arcidi but his arms still looked bigger than Arcidi.
At that time Arcidi had just benched world record 705.
Superstar also had a great physique and not as chemical and artificial as the newer guys.
Of course I grew up seeing these guys so I am biased.

[@blackatheistmillionaire1636]

Did he really start out by saying he only ate three things:meat,veggies
and fruit...and less than a minute later said he had EGGS???😳

[@NickHazletonMusic]

I would classify eggs and meat under the same category.

[@philu3]

Alright....animal protein then....better?

[@InvestBetter.]

I'mm gonna eat just like this
And next week, I'll have a 24 inch waist and a 56 inch chest

80% d Bol diet

[@90tommytee]

He's admitted to dianabol use, and that's all he admitted. Yes genetics play a role and eating clean mainly is key, but you're only get so far without some type of enhancement supplement, and I'm not talking creatine or whey.

[@americantrash593]

Should get Raven on here

[@IronMan_thno]

And heavy steroids haha. Great physique, he maximized his gains.

[@kvinche8120]

First he said he only ate 3 things and then he told the truth, no one eats totally clean

[@spirospiro778]

His diet was using steroids using steroids and using steroids.

[@kareemsupremet.v.5189]

So you don't think he had to eat anything??

[@michaelfrazia4569]

@@kareemsupremet.v.5189 ...have you tried? ...he'd have been shredded but thin...to maintain full muscles it's the water retention from the sauce...you are either shredded and thin or big and bulky natural...when you take stuff you can combine the shred with the bulk...otherwise it ain't happening...obviously some like Tony have great genetics and react well to steroids so it seperates him from a regular guy on steroids...but without the juice and eating no carbs Tony would have been shredded and thin..especially his legs..ive trained and trained people for shows for over 30 years...im not trying to be a know it all, but if you were sincerely asking than that is the answer. what he has going for him is a small bone structure for his height...narrow hips and wrists...it makes his muscles look fuller and his shoulders look even broader due to his narrow bone structure in his hips...he is genetically gifted, but without steroids he could never look nearly as great as he did.
