My buddy, Bob Weatherill, is doing the pro show this coming weekend in Tampa, and he's looking fantastic. Believe me, if politics are kept somewhat a bay, the guy could land himself in a primo spot.
He'll be bringing one trim and refined package to Florida.

Watch your mouth convict.
I'll do that. Thanks for playing.
-
Who? ???
-
Who?
He's a former Canadian champion who has been sporadic in his stage appearances over the years. He's about 5'9 and will hit Tampa at about 230 pounds. I wish him well. He's a very hard trainer.

very good balance look,good build back in 90's.

pics?
-
he had good structure, great balance, symmetry and condition.turned pro as a lightheavy, should look pretty big at 230
-
He last competed a few years ago and his weight was about 240 (and he still placed well). He thoroughly admits he was playing the size game and has decided to go back to the look that won him accolades.
He's in his early 40s and has been training intensely and consistently for almost 30 years. Here's a guy who squats heavy to the floor and generally defines oldschool in his approach, and his physique shows it.
He showed me his condition last week at the gym and, boy, does he look great. The IFBB would do well to seriously consider what he presents.
I can't seem to find old pictures of him online, though.

This is Bob.

If he looks good, then he will place well. This is a good show to stand out from others.

He's heavier in that picture. Not as tight and refined as he is when he's not going for sheer size. I think there will be a few impressed folks this coming weekend.

very balanced physique-good luck Bob W.

Way off base, Nordic Beast. Bob does NOT have a distended belly in the way in which you're referring. But your opinion is your opinion, I suppose.
However, if you saw Weatherill's physique up close and in person, you'd see just how wasp-waisted the man is.

They're friends, yes, and were training partners for a short time about a decade ago. However, the two mens' training styles were too different. Greg was extremely slow and hooked to Smith machine movements, and Bob moves through his routine much faster, more athletically and uses core exercises (squats, presses, rows, etc.) as the bulk of his program.

He used to look a lot better than that. He was impressive when he first became a pro. What happened to him?

don't Greg's friends have the heart to tell him that he looks like complete garbage? I mean he has to be the worst pro of all-time. His friends were doing him a disservice by not strongly recommending to him that he retire long before he actually did

Greg was being fed crap by select individuals and if anyone else made an attempt to offer suggestions, a deaf ear would turn.
Bob was / is a good friend, period. Known the man for almost 20 years.

Bob,
Good luck. I used to train at Monster too. Back in the good ol days... remember Henderson, Laura Binetti, Astrid Falconi , Pat and Melissa Mok.
Anyway, looking real good

he has a case of what I would like to call "dexter Jackson ninja turtle-ittis"-----his abs are pushing out from the front in a turtle shell type shape-----take a look at the BBers from the 70's and you will see nothing like that existing---its a case of insulin and GH causing this deformity

Good delts! Looks good. 8)

Bob is a good guy. Great physique. I hope he does well.

He will place where he desrves. I will be there for the show tomorrow. The "politics" rationalization is
has grown tired. Everybody who doesn't win, blames it on politics. 1/2 the people on this board talk about shows being "fixed". They sound like little girls. Why don't they get a room with Lee Priest so they can all discuss how they got "Screwed Again".
When Dorian lost to Mohammed Benaziza & Lee Haney, he didn't cry "Fixed". He recognized his weaknesses and improved them. The rest is history.

No, never met or spoke with the man. Too bad about his recent death. I know he entered two bodybuilding competitions in the 80s.

I appreciate what you're saying, of course.

I recently rejoined Monster Gym (now Fitness 365). I was last a member in 1996, and I certainly remember Henderson, Laura, Astrid, Pat, etc. Do you remember Gold's and Powerhouse? I swear the former in the late 80s was Toronto's hub of bodybuilding during the city's bodybuilding-craze-days (ha, ha).

I remember seeing a picture of Henderson Thorne squating like 650 pounds back then. It was probably fake though. However, that was before the Fux incident, so maybe it was real

This is DJ's contest all the way

No, the guy is one strong mofo. He motivated me to be the squatter I now am. I watched him squat 765 in the late 80s. His reps weren't Platz-deep, but solid to parallel.
It was weird watching him squat, actually. As he progressed plate-to-plate (225-315-405-495-585, etc.) you'd swear he couldn't go any heavier ... and then he did. All his reps looked the same, whether with 315 or 585 on his back.

We used to hang at the eglington golds back in 88 ( remember marsha and eric levine ) ! I met him and alex lifeson when I was working there ! BOB was a friend of JOHNS back then and was a very hard gainer !

Really? Cool. I'll have to ask Bob about that.
I lifted at that Gold's one or two times, before eventually joining the gym for a couple of years in the early 90s when it was called Pitbull Gym. Weatherill worked there for a time, too. It was a great gym. I mean, there were some water problems in the basement where the changerooms were (ha, ha).
I remember the owner won the trip to LA to hang with Arnold (at the Classic), and he came back and actually believed him and The Oak became tight, and would remain friends.
So, John trainined there, eh? And you met Alex there, as well? I know the two men stopped communicating 15 or 20 years ago. Just lost contact, I suppose.
