G-Dogg, no offense bro, but to say that Paul train his ass off is fucking bullshit, unless he drastically changed his training habits within the past year. I used to see him quite often at Gold's Venice when he lived in L.A. and I noticed he was quite fond of the leg extension machine, doing unilateral leg extensions with like only 50 lbs. and zero intensity, I shit you not. I never once saw him train arms,chest, shoulders or abs. He did like to lean on equipment though and converse with other pro's like Flex and cormier on occasion.
One time I saw him doing high rows with like 135 lbs., with horrible form, swinging the weight like crazy. But mostly all he ever did was lackluster unilateral leg extensions and mild cardio on the stationary bike. Hardly a hard ass trainer. In fact, I've seen qwuite a few pro;s train at gold's and most don't train too hard, but Paul took the cake as far as poor training.
Don't get me wrong, I think the man is one of the most genetically gifted bodybuilders of all time. How can he not be, with such a poor work ethic. His genetics are incredible and he could have easily been Mr. Olympia, if he trained even half as hard as Dorian used to, which sadly Paul never did.
