And back then, this guy was only between 2nd and 3rd tier Bber. The '90s was the true Golden Age of Bbing.

Crazy conditioning - similar graininess to Dorian.

Shame he was a tad too short to stand alongside the big boys in the pros.

7th place in Mr.O, ASC and NOC Champ 2nd or 3rd tier?

7th place in Mr.O, ASC and NOC Champ 2nd or 3rd tier?

Problem is he was competing against the likes of Yates, Ray, Flex, Nasser, Levrone, Dillett, Cormier, Fux, Vince Taylor, Clairmonte, Priest, and a lot of others. Back then, competition was really fierce. No doubt today, it'd be a different stroy if someone stepped up with that physique.

Look at the English GP '96:


1     Dorian Yates
2     Nasser El Sonbaty
3     Paul Dillett
4     Kevin Levrone
5     Ronnie Coleman
6     Vince Taylor
7     J D Dawodu
8     Chris Cormier
9     Jean Pierre Fux
10     Charles Clairmonte
11     Aaron Baker
12     Eddie Ellwood
13     Lutz Wilke


Scary, isn't it?

Francois's favor exercise was the deadlift. Looking at that thick back you can tell why.  He started as a PL'er. Had a few serious medical issues and backed away from BB'ing. Wonder how he's doing now or if still training. Exceptional condition and mass. In younger years, studied for the priesthood.

Francois was the shit, had he not gotten sick, we would not here anything about Jay, Mike would have been Ronnie's true nemesis---he had the foundation. Worked hard, and before he got sick, he had a wide as fuck, thick ass back.

GH15 has said as much.

I think you would have to be a fairly muscular person to start, but There are a lot of muscular people in this world. its more a function of having access to drugs, dedication..  and most of all being  crazy enough to put all of that shit into your body non-stop for years

Mike had better quality quads---seemed to be more shredded, and at the end of his career, I believe a better quad sweep than Branch---Branch is all size, nothing really shredded, he even has inferior thigh rods...Mike FTW.

You're a huge fan of "thigh rods" aren't you?  SOmeone should do a search of the last 20 times this phrase has been used on getbig and see how many were made by ganstalean.

Hey, I forgot what that muscle is called, but it is commonly referred to as "thigh rods"...Cormier's legs were cut up and his were would show...Roelly as well, Flex, Mike, Dorian, Ronnie, Milos, many times I think it was conditioning, genetics and the way they trained...dudes like Branch and Quadzilla trained it seem for size---they had huge teardrops, but the detailing everywhere else was missing.

And yep, I've probably used the word "thigh rods" more than anyone else---and I just added to it...

Seriously, now I know the name of the muscle, will conclude to stop using the slag term "thigh rods" (it does have a slight gayish overtone to it...)

well,,everyone who does it for living and even not for living anyone who does it 24 7 and trust me to be good bodybuild or to look anything worthy of second look which doesnt depend on your weight by the way .....you need to think and do bodybuild 24 7 that include the all 9 yard of drugs ,,consistancy ,,high quality solvents so it doesnt hurt...because you will poke yourself right and left few time a day every single day,,also you need to make sure you have good conection to good cooks and suppliers,,you need to respond very well to the hormones,,you need to have high tolarence to them,,you need to never stop as in keep consistancy so hormone levels become new minimum in the blood,,you need to actualy train seriously and keep low level stress in your life,, you need to keep enough calories in your body depending on daily needs...its more important than timing of the meal...the number of overall calories so you have what you need to grow or when diet...

you also need to know the combination of drugs to get to the top especialy when it come to quality look,,you need to know how to tacle problems such as thick skin which many great bodybuilddr suffer from and woudnt become great if they didnt know how to manipulate water and that bring me to the usage of diuretic which every bodybuild inorder to be top need to know and experience with ,,

and thennnnnn you have to hold on,,your body need to hold on ,,kidnys and liver...that mean you cant go around drinking booz and doing pain kiers because you will find your way into sickness and into grave quite fast if you do it see wrestlers all over americana who drop from abuse of anything but hormones! but hormones being blamed because it is easy to blame them

inorder to become professional bodybuild you need to have everything in place,,bodybuild is FIRST PRIORITY,, and then everything else,,you really cant do anything but bodybuild ,,you can have life but the life will consume mostly bodybuild,,and even if you do that...you really really need to know the shortest fastest way into quality look which is EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT TYPICAL GYM RAT IS DOING CIRCA 2011,,reason many gymrat look decent now day is because they all on gh lol and gh forgive you and forgive you always
