It looks like he's got himself a baseball cap wearing gook sidekick.
Will come in handy if he ever pursues a career as a snake hating archeologist.

Yes.....the altercation with Melvin took place at Gold's Venice......Titus got into another fight at Gold's Venice with Arne List.

brutal fat face and birthing hips.

you cheat dr. Jones!!!!!

Looks like he used to weightlift as a hobby back in the day and now stopped. You would never suspect that he was a professional bodybuilder. Drugs are just the finishing touch.

quit whining about drugs are the finishing touch....that stupid phrase has been played out here...get some new material.

Another one of those genetic marvels who would have looked great even without drugs ::)
-
nah, nobody claimed that.
hes one of these who have great drug response, still makes him special, if it werent so, there would be many like his former self
I never was convinced of this, great tolerance to side effects of the drugs, yes, great response? No. The bigger guys are simply on a lot more than the smaller ones. Some people would have you believe non competing bodybuilder gymrats are on PRO-doses, which of course is simply not true. How would they even afford all of that shit?
-
oh, yes, with better , tolerance comes better response, i meant.
the affording stuff point you make is bit moot, often you have people who can afford gear better than pros in the gyms.
however, the gymrats often dont have the same good sources, they run ugl steroids, pros will prefer from harmacy, same with gh.
besides that, pros will have more time to train and eat properly and thus, have better results.
and something i think is very important factor,is the pros get more rest time, while gymrats get drained from energy at their daily jobs.
the difference is an accumulation of many small factors, not just the dosage.
if it was just dosage issue, then every rich boy should dwarf pros.
How many rich boys are wasting their time bodybuilding though ;D
But there is one, a South-African guy, supposedly very rich and he is pro-size. Can't remember his name. Guy something?
Still, let's not be fooled, it's all drugs and always has been. The winners of true natural contests (if they exist), yes they are probably genetically superior.

Rich boy Guy Shaffer :D

IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME....HOW MANY FOOLS STILL THINK DRUGS IS ALL IT TAKES TO HAVE A WORLD CLASS PHYSIQUE.....AS IF ANY TOM...DICK OR HARRY CAN LOOK LIKE FLEX....BOB PARIS....SAMIR.....S RAY.....D YATES....IF ONLY THEY COULD GET ON THE SAME JUICE.
WHAT A BUNCH OF SHIT......LINE EVERYONE UP....GET THEM ON THE SAUCE.....AND NO ONE WOULD LOOK LIKE THESE ELETE BODYBUILDERS.
IT TAKES TRAINING EXPERIENCE.....DIET..... DETERMINATION.....DRIVE. .....INTESTINAL FORTITUDE.....GENETICS AND YES DRUGS......BUT SOME OF YOU BLOKES THINK IT IS ALL DRUGS.....LOL.......OH WELL......YOU GUYS KEEP ON BELIEVING THAT YOU ALL CAN STEP ON THE OLYMPIA STAGE.....IF YOU USE THE SAME GEAR AS YATES......DAMN FOOLS!
-
We're talking about the muscular size only, of course how it all is going to look is dependent on genetics. Not everyone can become a pro-bodybuilder, but everyone can get to that size if they use the same amounts of drugs.
Do you also think some people need 2x the dosage of an anesthetic compared to others when undergoing surgery? Or 2x the dosage of a cough syrup compared to others?
Melvin Anthony apparently stopped competing because the cost of preparing for a contest was too big, that should tell you something :D

I'm quite convinced that the midgets that are most pro bbs do not represent the genetic elite. They represent the genetic best of what is essentially a small group of sick people willing to take massive amounts of illegal drugs. Line up most of the nfl or, hell, the players on most college teams, and give them pro bodybuilder dosages and they'd put current pros to shame.

They do the exact same shit as everyone else. They diet harder? They work out harder? Bull-fucking-shit. They respond better to drugs.

You guys certainly do cook up some zaney thoughts!

More like: they are simply on more drugs and in higher dosages. Response to pharmaceuticals doesn't vary that much between human individuals, why would steroids be an exception to this?

A combination of both I would say. Better response to drugs, more, and better drugs and higher doses, of course.

agreed
you still gotta bust ass with hard consistant training and have the right genetics

Its always more fun to skip over this part though. I'm convinced the people always going on about all drugs never competed a day in their life.

By "healthy" you mean Skinny and Fat, right?

stfu.....pics are not always the best way to judge a physique.

haha, stfu bitch. You stick up for these competitors like they are your wives. Get a life, loser.
Its quite obvious he is A LOT smaller.
-
Lord.. Some of you guys don't look at the whole picture at all.. First off Melvin is hardly training.. He is not eating much at all.. And yes he is not loaded to the gills.. But it is silly to make these "all drugs" comments when the guys in question are not training or eating either..

Is this hard workout what gave Jason Huh his 19+ inch arms? ::) ::) He trains like this ALWAYS. He doesnt even do partial reps. Would his arms be that big with all the protein in the world? ::) His arms are that big even with a shitty routine bc of the drugs. There are guys who train A LOT harder than him and may even have a better diet and arms arent big like his. Why not? ::) ::)

" Indy is clearly off-season! "

My guess is he hasn't trained in year and eating like crap
Sadly for all the haters, with his amazing response, and superior structure plus muscle memory, in a month he can be a pro again, and you cannot

Its funny, bc you just proved my point. Genetics and drugs. Noticed how you failed to leave out the hard work and diet part. :D
-
If you think otherwise, you'd best be buying a Flex mag to look up the latest 'Champion's' diet and training advice.
bro.....i am talking about the guys of the 80s and 90s.....and no.....i place little faith in magazines.....they are full of lies and exaggerations.
the guys competing today.....i don't follow them...they are not good reps of bodybuilding. imho
if you think any dude off the street can take cyp...deca....gh....a50. ....and look like samir and shawn....you are taking too much acid.
-
haha, stfu bitch. You stick up for these competitors like they are your wives. Get a life, loser.

dude...you are a hater....some people teach school....some people play pro ball....some people rob banks.....some people run restaurants.....you my friend hate.....and you hate well.....stfu and get back to your hating....that is what you have to offer.....sad really when you think about it.

so how did jason huh get such big arms working out like this ::) ::)? pathetic arm work out. scroll to 3:00...look at those tricep extentions. Seriously, youre sticking up for that? Youre an idiot. You stick up for these bodybuilders like they are your family haha lol
-
Its funny, bc you just proved my point. Genetics and drugs. Noticed how you failed to leave out the hard work and diet part. :D
bust your ass in the squat rack.....juice and diet.....if you look like melvin when you are done....i'll kiss your ass in front of swarms of people during 5 o'clock traffic.
-
do me a favor.....listen to his video......this technique works for him.....it keeps tension on the muscle.
-

Oh brotha, you actually believe that? It works for him bc he is on a boat load of drugs and has good genetic response. IF he wasnt on the drugs, with that form, he would be 150 pounds soaking wet.
Its called being lazy. Back in the 60s and 70s they did full range of motion, used less drugs, and looked 10X better. He is not even doing partials. Hes doing less than partials. Guys today use all these partials and halfassed techniques. All of a sudden doing a halfassed workout is the next big thing, yet guys in the 60s and 70s never trained like that, just as big, and with less drugs.
You really consider his arm workout as working out hard? He didnt even break a sweat. Get out of here with that shit.

bro.....i dig the 70s 80s and 90s bbers.....todays guys just don't do it for me.....arnie didn't lock out on chest presses......built one hell of a chest that way......branch is a joke.....he has the worst form....total weight junkie.....i believe in more moderate weights....just saying that jason huh likes tension on the muscle.....works for him.....branch is just plain sloppy....throwing weight around.....he is going to get injured. if you want to see horrendous form...watch branch. agreed.....70s bbers used less drugs and less weight.....more moderate weight and moderate protein and calories.....all these guys are dedicated though. imho

in short....you said they respond better to drugs.

Diabetes is strong in this thread
-

Lol, it's true genetics and drugs. I agree drugs have a HEAVY influence no doubt but the combo of response, tolerance which is genetics
To answer Jason huh question thats easy the guy answered it himself it's GENETICS, his dad was a bber. How about johnnie O and his training again GENETICS
A lot of guys on heavy drugs will never look like them.
Yes, drugs are very important!!!! But some people are going overboard thjnking thats the ONLY WAY! too much other factors
-
Maybe he's going for the health look these days.

Yes and they could play in NBA if they was 6'8, could be in NFL if they didn't break ankle in high school, would have been MLB if coach in high school didn't screw them over. Most people are completely delusional, if they faced reality most would commit suicide.
-
holding a lot of water, hope melvin is doing well. I know he reads getbig - check in melvin :)

That kid is Latino ::)
Ok, "Melvin", don't get your cape in a twist.

I didn't direct my post at you, but oviously I meant all things being equal...
This is not a new phenomenon, guys like platz, makawiy, bannout, paris used to lookl like sedentary individuals in off season, and within WEEKS, BOOM! They blew up, its genes, response and structure plus muscle memory. Training and diet are given
-

Melvin looks good, I bet hes enjoying his life a lot more these days, pro bodybuilding is a joke these days, they all look like shit.
-
i think shorter ppl need less drugs to grow than tall ppl do.nah, no way.some are made for it some arent.think of that actor guy steve urcle or what his name is.lol.
hold on hold on.some ppl can get away with getting drunk every day and doing coke every day and having the most shit diet imagineable, while some who never smoked a ciggy get lung cancer, while others smoke 3 packs a day and live a long life.
i know two brothers, theyre in their late 50s.
one is drunktard and does coke pretty much every day since years, no health problems.
the other leads a monk like life and had heart surgery and strokes by now.
ppl are different.
and no, just enough dosage PLUS handling it well as far sides are concerned, even that is not enough to make a champion.
i have seen people on gramms of gear and gh and insulin and they did eat like theyre supposed to and trained well, but looked like total shit.i swear, like some ppl look after a year of natural training.
then i have seen people who blew up like popcorn on hrt doses and mcdonalds diet.lean and all, not permabulker bloof.
infact i remember that one guy who was picked up by ambulance every weekend bc he drank himself into a coma evbery time, he ate the most shit diet but was shredded all year, veins on abs etc.
im sorry, but you obviously havent been around juicers alot.if you were, there would be no need to tell these stories for me
Yup.
my training partner is on GH, insulin, test and tren
I'm on Tren
he's 208, kinda soft at 6'2"
I'm 230 @ 8% at 5'11"
drug response varies widely from person to person
My girl went to the hospital for woman issues years ago, and they gave her vicodin, didn't work...percoset, didn't work, and then finally morphine to ease the pain she was dealing with.
i take a percoset and i'm looped for six hours
-

You haven't the slightest clue.

Wasn't Melvin Anthony the first one to introduce the ridiculous white mask/gloves and black cape BS?
Actually, he could have had sex with non consenting citrus fruits before Kai Greene.
A trend-setter, no doubt :-X
-
I never was convinced of this, great tolerance to side effects of the drugs, yes, great response? No. The bigger guys are simply on a lot more than the smaller ones. Some people would have you believe non competing bodybuilder gymrats are on PRO-doses, which of course is simply not true. How would they even afford all of that shit?
We have a winner!
Honestly, give me 50k and I will select a skinny basketball player hoodrat from the streets of harlem (no pedo) and make him a 'pro' within a couple of years. The only thing that may let me down is if he happens to have weak kidneys.

well of course. You select a naturally very lean, muscular guy who doesn't hold fat or water, pump him full of gear, and you might have something. he will look good at any rate
get a pasty, thick skinned irishman, with no muscle tone and child bearing hips, and give him the same drugs, and you will have a bloated 250 moonfaced blob of shit
-
he looks small

yes, bigcyp, but the skinny black kids with full and long mscle bellies are the genetic elite when it comes to this "sport".
try the same with a skinnyfat jew who has never done a day sports in his life and it wont work.
so many black people who never lifted any weight and eat exclusively junkfood look better than i did after 1 year of training.
True, black man genes can't be beaten
Otherwise,
Anti semitic post reported!
-

Come on LATS, this is apparently always the case when someone shrinks to pre-drug size, it's a bit too coincidental no?
-
I don't know what others make of "all drugs", but for me, it simply means it is the base of everything, take those away and there is no (pro)bodybuilder-look anymore. I've seen 1 too many pictures of those people claiming otherwise ("you can look like a bodybuilder without drugs"), that only showed how far off they were from the bodybuilder-look and that they were a bit out there as far as judgement is concerned. This was done by some "big names" from the internet bodybuilding scene as well. (you don't need drugs or don't need much, then put up pictures that proved the inverse to be true)
-
without drugs they look like grasshoppers
-
They do the exact same shit as everyone else. Bull-fucking-shit. They respond better to drugs.
.
They work out harder? probably not
They diet harder? Yes ,absolutely
-
nah,man, its simply because they stop training and eating and drugs al at the same time.
ofc they gonna look like pretty much a normal guy after a couple months off of the bodybuilding lifestyle.
Exactly, everyone thinks the pros are small when they come off, to them it's all or nothing, they don't train, they don't eat, they don't juice, plain and simple
-
Of course drug response is real. And it's genetic.
But facts are Melvin has skinny fat genetics and fuck all muscle or definition natural, if you take the drugs out of the equation his build looks like nothing. This is the case with 99% of pro's.
It's a complete myth that the top Olympia guys would have the best natural physiques.
All this about don't train and eat is bullshit, don't respond to natural training is accurate.

Melvin is a poor man's Flex Wheeler, except he likes to eat. Jojo Ntiforo looks the same way as Melvin when he's "off". Many of these guys were skinny twerps, and now that their metabolism has slowed down, combined that with eating like "normal" people, you get what Melvin looks like now (without the bbing drugs, diet, cardio, weights).

Wow. Wouldnt peg him as a former pro.
Still wider than Phil. Wonder what Mr O will look like in his 40s completely off
-
why would a pro that is retired stay big??? It takes a LOT to just maintain their size (drugs, food, training). No need to be 270lbs when not competing anymore
-
It looks like he's got himself a baseball cap wearing gook sidekick.
Will come in handy if he ever pursues a career as a snake hating archeologist.
;D ;D LOL!

I don't think anyone is expecting them to. The issue is, they look like they've never trained a day in their lives when they quit.
-

If you saw Melvin in real life he is not that small, he is around 220 and he isn't fat at all. Funny how people on getbig think Tbomz is jacked and think Melvin looks like he has never trained a day in his life when the current Melvin carries way more muscle mass then Tbombz
-
everybody will look like regular guy after stopping training and eating for a year or so, natural or juiced pro, it doesnt matter.
i'd say that it happens much faster than "one year or so"
it's more like one or 2 months
-

hes not that big anymore. I used to train with melvin and was good friends with his ex wife, he really doesnt care about BB anymore and is trying to make a living doing something else. It seemed to all changed when he married his new wife.

Hmmm, I used to see Melvin at the gym all the time at the height of his bb career and he honestly never looked that big with a shirt on. I had a hard time convincing my friends he was a pro bodybuilder. Don't get me wrong: dude was a nice guy and always took time to talk to anyone who approached him. But big was not the term that I would ever use to describe him.

If you saw Melvin in real life he is not that small, he is around 220 and he isn't fat at all. Funny how people on getbig think Tbomz is jacked and think Melvin looks like he has never trained a day in his life when the current Melvin carries way more muscle mass then Tbombz
so many morons here at getbig......you can't convince them of shit.....because they are know it alls......funny thing is...they don't leave their bedrooms until 2 in the afternoon.....but they know so very much....and have so much advice to pass around here. lol

Actually, I do leave my bedroom way before 2. This does not correlate with anything. Try again. Thanks.

Why do you stick up for bodybuilders like you're dating them or their family members? lol. There are lot of other issues to get all worked up about and bodybuilders are not one of them.
-
Leads me to believe that the best genetics are the ones starting skinny/lean like dex, Phil, flex and levrone. You can tell Melvin,and Ronnie turn fat once they quit everything, it's typical middle age black genetics very hit or miss when it comes to that
-
275 at 5'10 isn't big to you.....huh????
I'm sorry but he is nowhere near 5'10 or 275 lbs. I had at least 5 or 6 inches on him and I'm barely 6ft 1. And I've also seen jay cutler in person. Now id believe he was 275, but sorry melvin was never close to that.
-
because hes not jealous of their achievements, thats a very honourable sign of personality.
he knows there lots of work behind what melvin was, despite the drugs.
and as i said melvin and everyone whos been there still got it, theyre a cycle and a diet away from loking like their former selves.
Jealousy has nothing to do with it. You can keep thinking that if it makes you feel good. I have no desire to look like Melvin Anthony.
However, lets be real, there is not always that much hard work that goes behind being big like that. Flex Wheeler was notorious for having horrendous workout. He trained like shit And look at Jasons Huhs workouts. Horrendous. He does not even do partials. Can we all be that big while doing shitty workouts? Does it only take just hard work? ::) ::)
Someone like Ronnie Coleman appears to work out hard. So I give him props. Even Dillet had shitty workouts and was a monster. I guess he ate all his protein, thats why he's big, right? ::) ::)
-
they dont do alleged textbook like movement during training in your opinion and that makes them less impressive you think?
maybe they respond best to that kind of training.
not everybodys the same, and they atleast went to the gym for many years day after day and they dieted hard all of them, this alone is huge essential difference to the average gymrat.
flex trained badly?he was strong and used training method with least effort which let him get away with still good results.genetic top top elite, very simple.
they train to get best results, not for a textbook on how to supposedly benchpress properly.
they arent powerlifters.i use half the weight in training at time that i could use, the results are all the same.
why trash my joints for nothing
Yes, it makes them less impressive. Scroll to 3:05. Yes, he would have arms that big with the workout he is doing because he would respond well. He is moving the weight not even 2 inches. And that is not an exaggeration. this just goes to show with the right response to drugs, you can move the weight a mere 2" and have 20 inch arms. and I am supposed to be impressed by that? you dont have to have perfect form, but come on, thats a pathetic work out.
No, the essential difference between pros and gym rats is DRUGS. I know quite a few gym rats who bust their ass, have a great diet, but are drug free. And guess what? They are not even close to the size of a pro.
-
In Jason huhs defense he does have good genes though that combined with drugs it doesn't matter how he trains. His dad was a comp bber and his brother is another bber as well.

Exactly. But if he didn't do drugs, he wouldn't be that size. Those 2 inch reps is not what makes his arms big. Its his genetic response to drugs.
Imagine if it all took was 2 inch reps to get 20 inch arms. Every gym rat would be HUGE, even the ones that eat right. But they arent.

I agree drugs in high doses or combination of pro cycles would do wonders to a skinny/lean gym rat, can't guarantee getting a pro card, that's up to the ind. and how much g4p they are willing to do.
Definitely drugs are downplayed tremendously and sad to see newbies excuses are dieting and hard training. Yes those are important but it starts with
Genetics/response then Drugs/food and training last

I had lunch with him in Venice....back in 2002....12 weeks out from the Olympia.....I am 5'8....he was taller than me....5'10 and 275 is what he weighed at that time.....he competed at 235-240....as I said earlier.....you can't tell a getbigger much....they are know it alls.....anyhow.....Melv in is probably not anywhere near his former size....but yes he was 275 at one point in his career. Now he is probably 220 or so....but you seem to think not. Anyhow.....maybe if you give him some advice....he might be able to regain his former physique.....being as how you know so Goddamn much!
-
Also looks like in the past 70's and 80's to early 90's were the genetic elite where the best bbers were seen. Now it's just simply a drug fest :-\

Bro....your gift in life....is to talk shit on bodybuilding sites.....you feel the need to talk trash about former pros.....keep hating.....just keep hating......Aren't there more important things to get worked up about besides me defending these pros???
-
Melvin is 5'8. I'll put money on it. He's never been listed at anything taller and he'll even tell you he's 5'8. he's actually a pretty cool fella...Little eccentric but still cool.

Actually lived in CA my whole life until now with a new job but I've seen pretty much all of them and when Melvin was working out at powerhouse Fullerton before it was golds or milos. He is not 5'10. Not hating but maybe you are not 5'8 just 5'6??? He is short. Nothing wrong with that he was around Shawn Ray height but alittle over 5'7 :D

Yep pretty good dude I worked out with him a couple times when he was married to that Hispanic chick and when he was living in the valley working out at powerhouse chatsworth. He was working with Pano at the time

Melvin on a Blind date seems to lose about 5 inches in height on the beach once he takes off his "lifts" shoes.lol
-

Shawn's true height in his prime was 5'5.5 - 5'6. He was never 5'7.
-

Lol didn't say he is the same height as Shawn I said around the same maybe a little taller not by much ;)
I did, moved away from Cali in 2005 to Austin and remained there ever since. All my family is still is SoCal, and I still go back a lot, born there and raised in thousand oaks :D
-
in your earlier post..... you said you lived in cali your whole life ;D

haha, no, that is not my gift in life. Try again.
Ha, I am not getting worked up. I am stating facts. You're getting worked up by becoming all emotional and cursing. I am calmly stating facts.
And I don't hate on former pros. In fact, I have a lot of respect for pros from the 50's, 60's and 70's

Look, I have nothing bad to say about melvin. He was a super nice guy, and I even had brief convos with him on several occasions. But I'm just saying I saw the guy practically daily in a so cal gym around 2004/2005 or so ( can't remember the exact dates), and there is just no way he is even close to 5'10 and 275 seems way too high for the guy I routinely saw.

2002......lunch with him.....12 weeks before the Olympia......275.....don't know what else to say.
He was definitely 275 in my eyes.....no big deal though......you don't have to believe anything you don't want to.

He's listed at 5'8 and is the same height as Jay...also Melvin shouldn't have been getting up to 275---because he was usually quite smooth. He could never dial it in, and even his NOC win, he was good, but not great. Needed quad sweep--his quads were straight up and down.
-
He's got the type of physique that looks good on a lower body weight, say around 220's and 230's if that, like flex he gives off an illusion
IMO I think RJ looked a lot better too bad he choose a different path, maybe it was for the better
-
I saw Melvin at the aussie pro show here in 2010....very funny guy and great performer onstage. I think he took best routine.
-
and as i said melvin and everyone whos been there still got it, theyre a cycle and a diet away from loking like their former selves.

Its response, structure, and just general genetics. The training, whatever it takes, least effort/best results. Sergio Oliva did maybe two full reps in his life, he didn't look too bad.. Oliva was known for doing in bench press for eg;sequences of 4 partials and 1 or 2 full reps (which were more like 3/4 reps) during a set
-
Shawn's true height in his prime was 5'5.5 - 5'6. He was never 5'7.
NO!
He's 5'7" !
I read it in muscle & fitness...

You have some knowledge Melvin Anthony's training and diet at the moment?
Didn't think so.

Melvin Anthony was/is a great poser. Guy put some effort into his routines

If only he had put the same amount of effort in being in condition.

His condition did let him down, he had great shape
Always struck me as gifted, but work ethic of dillet or flex and focus of cormier
I could be wrong...

Cormier won a ton of shows, got screwed at the Arnold. Never really came in out of shape until his final outings..
Flex as much as I really don't like him, 4X Arnold classic champ, won tons of shows as well, top 3 olympia countless times.
I don't see the problem here with these two, and ive seen them train a million times. They got the job done where it counted and there really is no wasted potential, it was an era of Dorian, levrone, ray, Nasser and Ronnie...

I'm referring to their supposed bad traits, and how he may share them
