He was not underrated.  He looked good and placed accordingly. Success in bodybuilding is not just about training and contest placings; it is also about marketing and self promotion.  He didn't do very well with the latter half. :-\

Synthol Biceps, and weak calves.

Of course they all seem to have weak calves now, but back in the 90's it was a very strong lineup of mass monsters and he just did not stand out.  Check out the Olympia 1997

His biceps had that peak in the 80s when he first started competing,theres no synthol in them.Heres a relaxed shot of Charles when he placed 5th in the Novice class in the Mr Britain in 1980.He`s second from the left,and i can`t believe how narrow his shoulders were when he first stated competing.

There's not an ounce of sythol in those biceps ... you must have him confused with Milos.

HUGE peaked biceps, not that detailed but fucking huge almost like Marko savolainens.

Needed more legs i think.

Overall eye pleasing physique and great muscle bellies.
