Title: JD Dawodu - Dude was a pretty good bodybuilder
Post by: Parker on February 01, 2013, 02:27:23 PM: Dude was pretty good in the late 90s to early 2000s. Had great arms, lats and chest, and back. Started getting that belly...and had that "outie" belly button that started to look like a hernia-type deal later on...

don't know, maybe Figo or others may know...
Maybe he might try auditioning to be a Lycan in the Underworld series like that other black, bald , British bodybuilder.

i remember he was on a run, and he placed lower than Kamali...I think it was the same contest where he pushed Farah.

Title: Re: JD Dawodu
Post by: crownshep on February 02, 2013, 05:48:14 AM: Read on a british forum a while back he is back training and a good size again and thinking of doing the masters,but don`t know how true this is.Crazy to think in 1987 he was a middleweight,think he placed 3rd in the british,then in 89 he won the light heavies,guy had crazy arms.He was backstage pumping up as i came offstage (i was in the middleweights) and couldn`t believe his arms.Then he came back again in 92 and won the heavies,that was the year Mick Theo threw his trophy at the judges.

Post by: the_swami on February 03, 2013, 05:23:58 PM: JD was very outspoken in a critical way about teh america NPC/IFBB corrupt judgign clique favoring USA BB's

this was the BFO 2001, in that years Olympia video he got 2 seconds of air time showing him walk 2 steps and saying her used this or that supplement and that was it

this was very likely the reprisal by the same power clique that is the NPC/IFBB manion , wweinberger etc

Post by: snx on February 05, 2013, 11:59:02 AM: Saw him walking around the 99 Olympia in Vegas. His arms were unreal. To this day, I don't know if I've ever seen crazier arm development. Gobsmacked.
