you should have the woman videotape it and post it here.

it'll either be a monumental self-owning, or it'll shut up the haters. either way, it'll be fun to watch!

Post by: NarcissisticDeity on October 25, 2007, 09:33:40 AM: Haney OWNED Makkawy in the front and rear latspreads as a well as the front & rear double biceps , Makkawy was small and narrow , he had an awesome physique no doubts about it but he wasn't in Haney's league.
Title: Re: Makkawy looked better than Haney in the 80s
Post by: natural al on October 25, 2007, 10:14:06 AM: Makaway was great back in the day, he was literally everything a BB should be while onstage, big, full, ripped, great presentation....everythi ng. labrada actually had everything Mo had but took it farther.

Makaway gets lost in the shuffle when you talk about short guys but he's gotta be up there.

Don't worry, there will be plenty of people on here who will critique my posing. Nothing will ever shut up the haters, there will always be some, but one thing, I have always taken pride in my posing and presentation. I have always said that if one person comes in a little better shape than another, but the other can present it better, the person who can present it better will usually come ahead.

i like to make fun of you for your kooky religious talk.

but it'll be cool to see you kick ass at a bodybuilding show.

Post by: Figo on October 26, 2007, 04:05:12 AM: Makkawy had great arms and abs, as well as quads. Poor hams, narrow and his back wasnt the best.

Compared to Haney, no contest, but a great bber.Apparently able to make amazing transformations to his body in a very short time.
