Title: Makkawy Posing Routine at Ironman 97!!..
Post by: Sherief Shalaby on May 05, 2010, 09:34:21 PM
his comeback 12 years after retiring!!..

sure he shouldnt have returned from retirment at this poor condition!!.. seems he tried to be as big as possible to go with the guys of the 90s and forgot that size was never his game!!.. i believe it would have been better for him to come in a good condition as in the 80s!!..

the whole show is available on youtube.. still havent seen it but from the quick parts i have seen lee priest and aron paker looked GREAT!!..

That was one of the best routines I have EVER seen. Nasser in his wildest dreams couldn't look that good and definitely not pose well enough to top that.

Now that,thats what i call posing.
Take note the pro`s of today,no dancing,no walking from side to side asking for the audience to clap you,no pulling the trunks up the ass,just a perfectly executed routine to classic music.

sure makaway was one of the best posers ever.. check his routines in the 80s, beside his posing skills he had a great physique in these days.. he was mistaken to try to be big when he came back because his big was still small for the others so he lost both ways!!..

He used to take Contest prep to the extreme back in the days.  Very dedicated to say the least.

Saw him in the summer of 1995 at his old muscle shop in Toronto. The store was doing badly and going out of business. He had a couple of trophies in the glass counter including the 2nd place Mr. Olympia. Still shreded. A chinese kid, maybe 16 or 17 complemented him and he called the guy a racial term to his wife (they were speaking their native tongue but I heard the word 'chink'). I thought that was pretty shitty of him.

  He's real tiny in person, maybe 5 ft 3, 170 lbs but ripped with good muscle. Still in great shape with good muscle size and definition. He stated Vince Gironda was a nice old man, and smiled as I bought some protein from him. I told him he looked as good as he did in the 80's (not bullshitting, this guy was ripped), and brought a smile to his face. I questioned him about a comeback and he seemed very much against competing. I was surprised and dissapointed with his comeback a year and a half later as he was as smooth as a pancake. Small and smooth.
