I hope I look half that good in 20 years.

I wish I looked half that good when I was in my twenties and thirties.

When was this taken Mike? I am guessing 88/89 so Dickerson had been retired about 6 years?

89- or 90 night of champions (Momo Bennaziza won/Yates in 2nd)

I wouldnt say better than ever. Looks like the drugs have caught up to his him in the mid section area.

Never forget that ad of him in black and white. Couldnt see his face but was a crazy pic.

Dont go lookin for it btw... I made the mistake of trying to....

90 Then, Yates first pro contest. He said it was at that contest after seeing Momo's back and how good it was he resolved to get his back to the standard that he did. Also said that if he did not finish in the top 3 he would have given up Pro BB and got a real job! LOL

Good photo

shame though that at 51, he still is compelled to stay on the gear

should he let himself go like every other guy his age?

great symmetry

I dare anyone to tell me that he is not on anything (besides HGH)

using gear responsibly is far less dangerous than drinking and smoking, which most 50+ people do and will die from.

Seriously??? Dude is over 50.... Looks better than most half his age...

Buffgeek · « **Reply #59 on:** November 17, 2008, 12:27:44 PM »

Dont get me wrong he looks insane. Regardless of his age. I just prefered the way he looked back in the day. He waist was almost non existant.

was that the Pinnacle ad that you are thinking of (spread arms)? That wasn't him.

Buffgeek · « **Reply #61 on:** November 17, 2008, 01:33:45 PM »

Damn no kidding?? All these years I thought that was him.... Who was it? Frank Hillerbrand?

mwbbuilder · « **Reply #62 on:** November 17, 2008, 02:14:40 PM »

I think you are right. Or Gerard Dent..not sure. I think it was Hillerbrand. I remember that was a great ad and don't think he even got paid for it.

Back in the day, supplement companies would just BBs photos in ads without even asking.

Mike, the pic in the back in the day (the outdoor shot) was taken 2006 when he was in Australia recently (his comeback show) Gary Philips from Flex took the shot.

lol!........................ let's not

I had those denim pants back in the day to lol, both the crazee wear and the perfetto type, wore them all the time, haha how things have changed.

Benfatto looks great for his age, his midsection isnt as flat as it was even two years ago, must be plenty of cheap hgh in South Africa, at lease thats where i heard he was living these days, not that its huge but no doubt behind that muscular wall he looks a good 12 to 16 weeks in the first term.

220 and all natural. Haven't even had a protein shake in about 8 months.

So you want all guys to take steroids but you don't take them yourself?

It's really too bad he tore his pec in his comeback. Otherwise, looks incredible!

He even had a great back:

Arvilla always cracks out the funky wardrobe pics with the pros. They're hilarious!

turnerg31 · « **Reply #69 on:** November 17, 2008, 04:42:06 PM »

Does anyone know if he is still doing any type of Masters Competitions? Unbelievable physique for a guy his age. I'm 40 and it's definitely motivated me to keep it going. I would hate to think that men that age would still use gear if they weren't competing. I don't compete and at this age the main thing on my mind is staying as healthy as possible. Still looks great though.

If I'm not mistaken, and I don't think I am, you're standing in front of Beacon Theatre.

Another example of pro bbing's slide. The Beacon holds about 4k. The NY Pro is currently held in a venue that holds about 1000.
