Intro to SZ Exclusive Interview: George Pipasik

Hello fellow SZoners! WOW ! How exciting, to have been not just welcomed, but given a very cordial invite to the Santa Moncia Bodybuilding Center to get a tour, and even some unexpected training with LONG TIME Sylvester Stallone trainer, and of course his close friend, Mr. George Pipasik. Though this was not the first time a StalloneZoner had visited Mr. Pipasik (maybe most of you remember the exciting pictures that SZoner Judge Monty posted about a year ago), but this is StalloneZoners Maurice Totry and Chris Heathcoat's very first visit. Before we begin I want to personally "THANK" Mr. George Pipasik for our exclusive StalloneZone interview. For everything from the beginning of our first phone conversation, to the entrance into the gym with a warm hand shake and smile, to our exits with our own Santa Monica Bodybuilding Center shirts (a treat from George) we are very appreciative. What comes to mind, is some dialogue from Stallone's own RAMBO script. In the film actress Julie Benz is told by her co-star who played "Michael" that John Rambo is doing what he’s doing because “He's been paid." Julie’s character responds, “He didn’t take anything.“ Neither did George for all of his time, valuable information and gracious generosity.
Hope you enjoy,

Chris Heathcoat
I want to thank Mr. Chris Heathcoat for making this happen. I have wanted to pursue this trip for about 15 years. If it were not for Chris being proactive, I would never have gone. This was an incredible experience to meet Mr. George Pipasik and to see where Sly trained for his most memorable roles. For Stallone fans this is as close to Mecca as you can get!
Hope you all like this interview…….. mtotry
