At the seminar, King got pissed we called him on his absurd claim, that he consumed 10,000 g of carbs a day while carbing up.
He was quite stubborn and refused to back off , he actually consumed that much daily in pie filling.
When I pointed out, it was = to 40,000 cal, he laughed at me and said ; " Well we can't all be rocket scientists like Howard " and rolled his eyes.
He knew I taught physics for a living and tried to use that to make fun of me. Hmmm, not sure why?
King seemed like a decent dude, but he seemed to take things way too personal from a couple of yahoos like Bix and I. We barely spoke to him and don't know him personally. I wish him well in bodybuilding and his personal life and have no ill will against King.
He just seemed a bit too defensive, but, then again, I really don't know the man.
King is a much better bodybuilder then I ever was or will be, so I respect him for that.
13 years ago, King thought he had the world by the balls. In his first season as a pro he placed 4 at the Arnold, and 10th at the Olympia. I think he was defensive because it was quite obvious that he didn't have the structure to do long term damage as a pro. He was never really confident, and would overcompensate. What type of guy refers to himself as 'King' when he was a nobody at the time. By the next year 2002 his placings crashed, and he never did well again. He had dedicated himself all year to a top 6 placing at the O. He came in 17th. By 2003, he placed 14th at the Night of Champions, his only show he did that year. To see him now at 2014, face puffed out like Derek Anthony, talking like he is still relevant as a competitor, juiced to the max, and acting like an 18 year old, it is sad.
