Title: Where is Gustavo Badell these days?
Post by: dyslexic on October 19, 2011, 11:43:32 AM: Did he just give up.. (like so many others should but don't?)

Last competition I see was in what? 2009? Placed 13th.

I thought he was supposed to *all that* someday kind of like that big fat "bloofy" kid that started making a name for himself. Can't think of his name...

Post by: jaejonna on October 20, 2011, 08:21:44 AM: The challenge round was a FAIL...Gustavo picked all the same poses he won that were picked against him and the final pose off was all Ronnie...Epic fake drama for the sake of 'teh sport' ::) ::) ::)

Agreed, if Ronnie couldn't win the tie breaker then Gustavo should have won the show. Sometimes pro bodybuilding looks so Mickey Mouse!

Post by: RC Money on October 20, 2011, 08:59:24 AM: This guy always had a good combo of size and real hardness lacking today (always meaning from early 04 and on).. I'm sure his "100% natural" comment was more like 100% real muscle as in no seo or oils, and to be fair he had some of the hardest more seperated arms around to back that up imo.
