Post by: whitewidow on July 30, 2011, 10:41:17 PM: Troy is underrated and one of my favorites. he just needs some serious chest thickness to place higher in the higher level shows plus he I noticed he has aged incredibly. In the outdoor picture he looks old as ever. he used to have a younger look to him just a year or two ago. what happened? He must of switched cycles

Post by: erics on July 31, 2011, 06:30:51 AM: The interesting thing about the wrap-up interview with Levrone, Harris, and Centopani was their confusion at the judging process.

It's a shame that as bodybuilding 'progresses', the scoresheet contains less and less information.

I agree. I'm surprised ,with the pics provided, that Troy took 1rst place lookin' at his lower body. ESPECIALLY his hams !

SHIT ! IS ANYONE SEEIN' WHAT I AM SEEIN' ???? THAT LOWER BODY TOOK 1rst PLACE ???!!! Who's the head judge ? Stevie Wonder ?

good check for troy, moms, given, after all this yrs, he still doesn't have a sponsor. good athlete if you have over 40 supplements or vitamins.

Him and his boy, Michael Jai White share similar luck...
Both need more exposure...

i don't get the sponsors and him. population is getting older and he and kevin levrone are a good fit for pushing mature products. once you get past kai, phil and jay there isn't much left, no body real high profile, except evan and maybe now kulco? horrible generation of pros for troy not to be getting a monthly check.

I think Troy was overshadowed by Darrem Charles, Melvin, Richard Jones, and even JOJ back when all were sponsored by Muscletech (wasn't Troy with Muscletech?), plus Darrem and Melvin were the kings of the 10k shows...Troy's main knock was lack of hammies---but now he is Mr. conditioning and he wears that well---instead of trying to be bigger with his frame---he is doing what Dex told Melvin to do, and Melvin never listened, now look where he is---where is he?
