For sure, anyone would want to look like that. Anyone, no matter what they say. This guy had/has fantastic shape, and built a near perfect physique.

Size wise, he used to get lost on stage next to big guys, he competed at 200lbs and under.

He was bigger in his comeback, maybe 215-220, but unfortunately that torn pec works against him.

The drug he was caught with was ritalin. I believe he used it as a fat burner during contest prep.

I met the guy and his girl friend a few years ago at a IFBB show.
He was sitting in front of me and my wife.
I spoke to him during the break, very aproachable

I wonder exactly what it takes for him to stay in this shape at his age...


When you "Google" him, you see a lotta shit about the drug busts.

Post by: Sam on June 09, 2009, 10:02:53 PM
While he did have some nice poses, his shape looks a bit odd in some of them. Looks like his delts are oversized with short legs.

He looks better now than he did then! Definately on the test. right now, as you can see from the pix.

His hair looked rediculus back then. I thought that even back then, but now looking at those older pics it looks even more rediculus.
