Mark trained at my old gym you should see him in person, biggest arms i've ever seen on a human being including Coleman, Nasser or Flex Wheeler, looks like he's brought up his chest as well which used to lag behind.

Those arms and delts are seriously huge. His relaxed look and his back will tell the tale.

he is strong as a fuccking bull on upper body pressing movements especially shoulders, used to see him hit 315 for reps seated press behind necks and 150 pound db's on shoulder presses, nice guy in person glad to see that he's up at this level now, looks like he might finally turn pro after all these years.

Mark has some crazy rear delts and hamstrings.  His waist looks like its a little &guy than it was when he was a light-heavy, but he's quite a bit more muscular, so that's to be expected.

the guy has awesome potential but tore his quad a couple of times and was stuck in neutral for awhile, he should win this thing finally.

Well, that pic pretty much answers the questions about his back.

I meant that his back is just as impressive as everything else.

yeah like i said i used to see him all the time a couple of years ago and he's REALLY improved and put on a lot of size, looks phenomenal, he lost to Charles Ray Arde a couple of years back but now with more size he should finally win this thing.

I know marks nutritionist fairly well and he said that mark was having a hard time even making the heavies.  I think he could do very well in the supers, especially with that type of conditioning.

he's not doing the superheavy's is he? i though he was doing the heavywieghts.

He is doing the heavywieghts, but according to his nutritionist he will just barely make weight. I'm just saying that with his conditioning he could do well as a smaller super-heavy.

yeah the supers are usually a lot weaker class than the heavies and light heavies with a lot less guys in it, hard to imagine him as a super since he's so short, in person he is much shorter than he looks in photos, he looks 5'5" or 5'6" in person.

Mark looks VERY wide on stage.  He's going to be very impressive with that new thickness. 
If he comes with the conditioning he brought at the (I think) 2005 North Americans, he'll hang with ANYONE.

Yep, it was the 05' north americans.  He won the light heavies and it was a close overall between him, TJ schoenborn and marcus haley.   The USA's is going to be a great show this year.  Best of luck Justin, not that you will need it!!

yeah, he was freaky peeled.  If he brings that as a heavy...which it looks like he's going to do.  He'll look great.  He's one of those guys that looks freaky wide on stage. 
TJ looked insane at that show too.  Is he still planning on the Master's next year?  I saw him at Jr. Nats, and he looked good.  He's added so much size in the last few years.

Post by: wisconsinBB on July 17, 2007, 11:37:30 AM
It is my understanding that TJ is doing masters nationals next year.  He should do very well. He did the Jr.Nationals as a middleweight in 03 and 04, then he did the USA as a light heavy in 04, then won the north americans as a heavy in 05.  He's added a lot of quality muscle over the past few years and should be tough to beat at masters next year.
