Remembering Gold's Gym logo Designer Ric Drasin, Ric and I were going to start a podcast.
This was pretty cool, I sat down with THE MAN Ric Drasin to talk bodybuilding, wrestling and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Ric Drasin is an American bodybuilder, personal trainer, actor, stuntman, author, and former professional wrestler. He wrestled professionally for 36 years between 1965 and 2001, while also winning titles in amateur bodybuilding contests during his younger years. (What the hell doesn't he do?) Ric was one of Arnold's original training partners in the 80's and to go back in time to hear his stories about Arnold, was really cool for a bodybuilding mark like myself. For you WWE fans out there, Ric is partially responsible for Rusev Day! Ric trained Rusev when he first started out on the Indies. Ric also designed the iconic Gold's Gym Logo, yes THAT Gold's Gym! That's in here too! Chill, grab a protein shake and check Ric out.
