Bodybuilder describes his plan to turn pro
By THOMAS BECNEL
thomas.becnel@heraldtribune.com
At 5-foot-9, 270 pounds, Huh fills the doorway, at least from side to side.
A few years ago, he was a brawny-yet-boyish graduate of Lakewood Ranch High School. His dad was a bodybuilder, a former Mr. Korea, and his mom was a dancer. He was just starting to develop the physique that won him a Teen National Championship in 2004.
Now Huh is bigger -- much bigger -- with sculpted shoulders that bulge from his
tank top. This fall the 22-year-old hopes to win a nationalamateur competition and become a professional bodybuilder.
He looks older, with his goatee and crew cut, but still sounds young when he talks about his plans. There's a lot going on his life right now, which might be why he's so tired.
Huh plans to open a nutrition-and-smoothie shop on Main Street in Sarasota. His fiancée, Stephanie Franco, is about to turn pro as a fitness-and-figure contestant. And there's the never-ending cycle of weightlifting and eating and conditioning and dieting.
In between bites of spare ribs and pickled cabbage, Huh talks candidly about everything from light eating to the "dark side" of drugs in bodybuilding.
First things first: your name. What percentage of people get it right? What percentage have something to say about it?
About 90 percent get it wrong. (Laughs.) About 60 percent have something to say about it. It's not "Huh." It's not "Ha." It's pronounced "Hu," like H-u.
What's your training schedule like right now? When's your next show?
I've actually got to start dropping some weight because I've got to do a guest posing appearance at the Tampa Bay Classic on June 9, I think. I need to harden up a little bit so I don't look so fat on stage.
You still live in Sarasota?
Yeah. I was living on my own for a couple of years and recently I decided to move in with my dad, and Stephanie, until I get the business up and running. That's an Asian family for you, everybody living together.
Your dad's a bodybuilder and a personal trainer. How are you the same, and how are you different?
That's tough. I'm working on my discipline. I have good discipline, but my dad's discipline is ridiculous. I mean, to go to work for 20 years and never take a day off. To eat the same thing for years, day in and day out. Never complain about anything. He's definitely a man of few words, but I have a ton of respect for him.
But now you're going to be an entrepreneur. Here's a chance to talk up your business. Let's hear the pitch:
It's going to be basically nutrition more aimed to athletes. It's not going to be like an herbal nutrition store. It's more straight to stuff that works. Proteins, all the basics, creatines. And we'll definitely have some smoothies, custom-made smoothies, done up for whatever suits your needs. Whatever goal you're trying to achieve with your body, we'll be able to do it.
I've always wanted to do it. I run a nutrition store right now for a good friend of mine, Jeff Hall. He's helped along the way in my bodybuilding career from the first time I stepped onstage. He's like a second father to me. He definitely helped me see that it's OK to just bodybuild. I don't need to have that 9-to-5 job. I don't have to go to college if I don't want to. I can put all my energy and focus into bodybuilding.
What's your training schedule like?
In the off-season, I train about five or six days a week. When I'm dieting for a show, I'll train five or six days a week, but I'll do cardio seven days a week. Stairmaster, just Stairmaster, and walking on a treadmill.
People have no idea how much dedication it takes. It's ridiculous, bodybuilding. I do believe bodybuilding is one of the hardest sports in the world, next to, like, Ultimate Fighting or something.
What's the bodybuilding community like? Is this a lonely sport, or do people get together?
It's both. Bodybuilders do get together. We have these conventions and stuff like that every year. We have the Arnold (Schwarzenegger) Classic in Ohio. Thousands of people, thousands of bodybuilders show up.
What's that like? Describe the scene.
(Laughs.) A bunch of horny-ass, testosterone-driven people. And a bunch of female figure chicks, and all of them are all done up in makeup. And everybody there, their bodies are all perfect.
Is that good or bad?
It's good and bad. People are concerned with health and always trying to stay in shape and look great and all that. But some people are pretty shallow, I feel, in this sport. That's where I differ. I try to not to be too shallow about life.
Is there a whole science to bodybuilding that the people don't understand?
People have no idea. The science comes down to every piece of food you eat matters, when you're dieting for a show, every green bean or piece of broccoli. The type of food, depending on your ethnic backgrounds, sometimes, depends on how your body tends to work.
When it comes to supplements and chemicals and all that, there is a side of bodybuilding -- there is a dark side. I don't care what anybody says. Bodybuilders won't admit it, but there is a dark side to bodybuilding, with all the steroids and drugs involved. They don't like to talk about -- it's like their own kept secret, but that's the way it is. You can't step onstage ... but I think that's why bodybuilding isn't as popular as something like football.
But don't people expect that in any sport?
It's funny. I don't care what sport you play, there's some kind of drugs involved. I don't care if it's running, whatever. They're testing in the PGA right now.
Do they drug-test in bodybuilding now?
They do in certain shows, but for the most part, no. Because if they did, there'd be no freaks, and freaks are what people want to go see. They want to see something that nobody else can do.
How do you compare with other bodybuilders?
A lot of them are pretty short. I'm 5-9. They range from 5-3 all the way to 5-11. A good height is between 5-9 and 5-10, 5-11. They're the only bodybuilders who really fill their whole frame out, and when they do they're hard to beat. A good short guy is not going to beat a good tall guy.
You're devoted to bodybuilding, but things change and people change. Could you walk away from all this tomorrow?
Is there something else I'd walk to? (Laughs.) No matter what I'd do, I'd always want to train.
Do you plan on staying in Sarasota?
For right now, yeah. As long as there's sunlight and palm trees, I'm good

somebody's jealous. :o

He won the teen nats. in '04 as a lightheavy.. Looks to be about 230-235 at 5'9" there..

Repetrope list him as 221 onstage at the 2006 nationals

awesome structure too
(http://www.repetrope.com/assets/content/Media02/galleries/14097/fullsize/14097-PVW-huh-j-03.jpg)
Can't wait to see all those young guys like him and Kucklo battling out at the nationals ( altought I do think that Steve is way better )
-
lets see in some interviews he claims hes 5'9 in some 5'10 in some 5'11 (no the writers dont assume they ask and the write the answer the bb gives)
here he says hes 5'10
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0KFY/is_3_23/ai_n13653762
04 188lbs
http://www.usamuscle.com/bodybuilders/detail.asp?CompetitorID=3911
Claims almost 20inch arms
http://pumpingmuscle.com/JasonHuh.html
The list of crap goes on and on but hey I understand there is a pattern of whos ass you lick usually it means they train or consult with milos, guess you get a $10 cupon from milos for a post like this.
-
I am not licking any ass you fucking idiot, I just think that you are jealous of being totally surclassed by a young guy
no shame in that man ;)
-
If you do a search on my post you will see my issue is not with young guys im 27 for god sake my issue is with bullshit weight numbers and with arm measurments that are BS, like I said in the tons of bb dvd's I watched very very few step on a scale and nobody takes a tape out to measure their arms
-
Don't like the look he is big no doubt but that's about all and 270 is pushing it
-
all drugs!
Does that surprise you?
-
Huh has an awesome physique and i hope He makes it to the pros
-
The guys arms are TINY compared to Greg Valentino's.
-
So he doesn't have to have a job or he doesn't to go to college. Just focus on bodybuilding...Whoa great parenting Pops. Dude looks good, but he's no Dennis Newman, Flex Wheeler, Kevin Levrone, Shawn Ray, or Paul Demayo. All of whom looked outstanding at 22...you could tell that they were going to the top.

ha ha, that little queer probably pays for his bodybuilding lifestyle by racing his mom's 94 celica on the weekends for 20 bucks a pop against the high school kids, who he still buys beer for.

He probably lied about that weight too. ;)

they have a weight-in at the nationals shows, it isn't like in the pro rank
that's their real weight

They were claiming this guy was natural on mayhem before. ;D I remember I didn't even want to question it in fear of being banned. :-X
http://www.musclemayhem.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22050
Page two, Dexfan asks the question and mr_florida says that he only uses OTC prosteroids. Even if that is true, prosteroids elicit the same effect as anabolic steroids anyway, which is why they are banned now. Your body just reattaches the carbon atom that is absent from the original structure. Epic chemistry brilliance. ;D

About Steve Kuclo being natural in 2005, I really believe it tho
the dude won the teenage nats at 210
he won his show last year at 240
30 lbs gain in 1 year, I'd even say 35 lbs cause he was leaner
and you don't make those gain when you have already been on juice before
so Dante is right IMO when he say Kuclo was natural when he won the teen nats
not sure about Jason Huh tho, there was a lot of time between his 2 shows
George Betancourt is juicing since 14 :o
-
That's one huge Korean!
-
That's one huge Korean!
Word, Koreans usually are the biggest of the Asian's, but this kid is unusually big. I'd be willing to bet he has a white mom.
Either way you slice it he's pretty damn big and Muscularny is a jealous as hell.

Seems logical enough. I'm starting to believe it is a possibility Steve was natural before...210 is not too unrealistic for 6'0 and he has a great shape which makes him look even better.
-
I live in Koreatown in Los Angeles, and we've got some kids in our building who are 6'5" and built. And these are first generation Americans as well as kids right off the boat from Seoul...That kid is actually short compared to the Koreans I see on the street every day. He looks great, though. IMHO

this dude jason won the southern states last year as a light heavy weight if i remember correctly.

I have only realised this year how much good genetic makes a difference
some dude my age are 2 times my size and make way less effort and it pissed me off.
I was always thinking there was a "secret"
My genetics just sucks ;D

koreans don't seem to have the height problems most other chinamen do.

Word, stockier too. They seem to have a cuacasin build with the asian helmet. Race aside, Huh has some really good gentics.

YES CUTLER IS 350....AS A MATTER OF FACT HE IS 351 POUNDS

His girl Stephanie Franco is kinda chicken looking. She looks like she is in her mid 30's.
I'll give dude credit, he is big, but if he's not on the top of the heap, why be that big.

It's that high protein diet. A Westernized diet does that. Actually Back in the day, Native Americans were taller than the European settlers (take a look at a colonial house door frame). They had a diet that was more focused on protein than Europeans did.I have only realised this year how much good genetic makes a difference

In college there was this black dude I used to call "Super Muslim" or "T" for short. He only ate fruits and vegtables and lectured me on eating meat like pork and beef. I would see him in the morning eating only cantaloupes grapes and strawberrys. But he looked like a 5'6 version of Flex Wheeler...with a chest. He was humble and carried himself like he was an ordinary dude. He never has competed and probably never will. But his genetics were off the meter.
-
Stavios, I do think Steve is way better looking. I saw Jason at the ASC, looked big and thick.
-
Everyone looks big from the seat of a Rascal. ;D

Yeah, I saw a pic of Kuclo at his last show, and he was definitely a different bodybuilder than when he won teens.
He had good shape, but at 6' and 210" he wasn't huge by any means as a teen.
-
well I think 210 lbs onstage is still big for a teen but yeah he clearly make a big jump for his last show
-
Is that why the symmetry/mass-combination is so good you think?
Well, his dad was Mr. Korea and I've seen some pics of him and Jason from an issue of Flex a while back and he's one big dude still. Plus his mom was a ballet dancer or something along the lines. Thats pretty much sums it up where he gets his genetics from.
-
from where I sit...he's got his shit together..I like his structure and my guess is that he responds excellent to hormones...I like him...good guy..excellent phisique
-
Him and Kuclo are the top young guys in the country. No, im not forgetting anybody, none of the others come close to these 2. I saw pix of Jason in Flex after he won the Souther States (TOUGH SHOW!) and he looked friggen sick. Genetics off the chain. Striated glutes at 19. Kuclo will give him a run though. Kuclo is bigger, but Huh is more mature. Both great structure. Love to see it!

You're forgetting a couple of guys in that age group... Hint: both were on the cover of MD in the past year.

at this point in time both Centopani and Brewer are ahead of Huh And Kuclo but they both look awesome.

Centropani has 4 years on those guys.
Brewer is the one who will make the biggest impact first. He's top pro size right now....he'll be a mass monster before he's 22.

i have NEVER SAID that Trey was not a good bodybuilder, what i said was that i don't believe the claims made about his lifts and measurements and i still don't but the guy looks awesome.
-

I did not forget them. As far as their futures..... they will both be tops over Brewer and Centropani. Centropani lacks shape to his legs, and Brewer lacks shape everywhere. Kucklo will eventually be 260 on stage with nice shape, Huh 240's. In this age group, both untouchable.
I said before and il say it again.... WHY do you guys put so much enphasis on size and so little on structure and shape?

I don't mean to be rude, but the correct spellings are "Centopani" and "Kuclo."
Evan can still bring up his legs to some extent, and Trey, well, he added so much size so fast that maybe he didn't distribute it effectively and focus on shape and all that... but he's still a kid, he has time to work on that.
And Squadfather, I was just teasing :)

Um bro hate to break it to ya... you cant work on shape. you got it or you dont. you can work on BALANCE, but not shape. In 5yrs Kuclo and Huh blow out Evan and Brewer UNLESS they are both competing at near 300lbs, in which case that huge size difference will probably matter in the IFBB (shouldnt).

Point taken. I guess we can only wait and see. I was only saying "Don't count the other two out just yet."
-

Word, this guy is an animal. He gave me a whole new respect for asian BB's. I prefer his look to Hide's and he is just starting. I think there is prolly some Caucasian blood in there, but Koreans are generally the larger asians.
Guys only weakness is his quads, they are alot easier to bring up than calves which he has.
On a different note he's got nothing on "Smooth Flow" Valentino.
-

Sarcasm always speak the truth ( from his point of view however ) and he always gives credit where credit is due
I don't think that anybody is denying the fact that Trey is a huge guy and an awesome bodybuilder

So are you saying that Huh does not have shape? He seems to have a pretty tight vacuum which is rare these days, especially for a Heavyweight.

lol what? read again man. i said him and Kuclo DO have shape

does jason have some of the lowest inserting calves in the world> They look so long down his ankle.

I was actually thinking that too, his calves seem a bit strange but if that's him kudos.
-
Name some super-heavies that can beat Trey, Steve or Evan right now. I can't think of any. What heavyweight can touch Huh right now?? I can't think of any either. You can list flaws on all of them, but understand that even top Olympia competitors ALL have flaws. These guys are all 24 and under but they are ALL good enough to win a National show this year.
-

I think it might be the angle of the picture taken, but in pics his legs are awesome.
