Title: Derek Anthony circa 2001: He could have been a contender!
Post by: columbusdude82 on March 31, 2008, 12:31:35 PM
There was a lot of buzz around Derek early on in this decade, and the bodybuilding press were hyping him up. He did look good early on. But he chose to ruin his physique (hair, gut, arms, synthol, site injections, etc), and made some bad career choices.

Very sad. Derek, you could have been a contender! You could have been somebody! You could have been a pro by now!!!

Here are some magazine clippings from his own site.

He was being trained and prepped by none other than Dave Palumbo!

"A young star on the way up" indeed.

"Derek has the goods to be butting heads with the sport's elite when he reaches his peak," I think not.

Derek, you could have been a real bodybuilder, instead of a train-wreck laughing stock figure with a ruined physique who markets some "snake oil" product of a fourth rate supplement company...

Derek might just be one of those cases of "Would this person have been way more successful in the sport if not for the message boards"?

There are a few people like this - the boards have revealed their flaws, their anger, their stupidity, etc.

Poor depraved Derek... To go from a champion bodybuilder and pro-in-the-making to "owning" people on message boards by posting their personal information which he was given by others, more intelligent and resourceful than himself...

Derek did look awesome before!  The sad thing is, I would say the biggest flaw in his physique was the use of synthol.  He has good lines and symmetry in my opinion.  Good size too, especially for a non pro/fitness model.

I think Derek has a great physique.  He is actually a nice guy.  He is handsome and articulate.  Sounds like a great candidate for being a pro bber to me.  What a guy! You might be able to make a case saying he WAS a great contender who just never achieved to his max.  But I still think he's great!
