Last month we lost one the greats in the sport of bodybuilding, Mr. Nasser El Sombaty. Nasser was from the Mass Monster age of the late 90's and was by definition a true Muscle Nerd. He spoke several languages and boasted several degrees in history, sociology and political science. He was often pictured working out wearing his Harry Potter'ish glasses (before anyone knew who Harry Potter was).
In his later career, Nasser was said to have been branded persona non grata in the professional bodybuilding world because of his ability to "call a spade a spade". He was never afraid to point out when he or anyone else was unfairly placed in a competition.
Organizational politics aside, I respect a man who works his mind as hard as he works his body. RIP Nasser! You are posthumously awarded the status of Muscle Nerd!
Super Jerry
