yeah when i saw the guy on the left at the weigh in, i couldn't believe it. his calves are better that Mattarazzo's. he weighed about 253lb. and must be under 5'11". his name is Ben, he is an absolute freak, and a really nice guy. when i first saw him, i asked if he was gonna compete in the Montreal pro show after winning tonite. he is that freaky.
but Ron was actually better conditioned and is "pro" in the presentation department. 1 year of training and i can't see any amateur beating Ben. and i think he said he is only 23!!
as far as my legs go, yeah, they are the best i can hope for as crippled as i am. not really an excuse but they were better twenty years ago when i could do squats. doing the show kept me from boozing for six months though!!
for the record, i think i placed 16th in a class of 11.lol
