Title: Do I love or hate King Kamali..?
Post by: Taffin on August 19, 2015, 07:50:41 PM
OK, so I've lurked here for a few years, picking up the history etc.  Then registered so I can search for topics.  As someone who was in the game in the late 80's to mid 90's I've missed a lot of shit with regards to top level Pro's (hence my jumping on any Gary Strydom thread that comes along).  But thanks to a bit of advice gleaned from AJ I now know how to post screenshots.  So can someone please tell me, is this now the norm?

(ps - no hater here, I just can't decide how to take this guy having missed so much)

Looks like a bloated midget big time.
Only thing that makes him relevant are his HG gear contacts.

Dean is older than I am and looks awesome right now. We used to train together at Pearls gym in the late 70's.

The funniest part is that this guy is probably so delusional that he looks in the mirror and still thinks he's the best BB on the planet, who could hop on the Olympia stage next month anytime if he felt like it ;D

Clearly, he used to look a lot better.

His kitchen has the best bodybuilding lighting in North America.

No disrespect to Dean.  He always had a great physique trained hard and was in shape.

Wow, he looks really good there, thanks for the link.  As I said, I paid literally zero attention to BB for nigh on 20 years, so there is a lot to catch up on - perhaps that's another thread.  But one of the most striking things I've noticed is the fuller faces of some of the Pro's nowadays.  I remember how drawn the faces were when meeting them up close after the British GP each year - I can't recall any of them looking quite like this (chubby faced), even at off-season seminars.  But he looks pretty drawn there earlier on in his career, so is this maybe part of the 'Palumboism' everyone talks about...?

He got 294 likes for that disgusting pic. I bet they're all delusional kids or gays.

I think that it's conventional wisdom that the 90's were the era of strong androgens + strong diuretic usage that gave that peeled look. Culminating eventually in Muntzer's literal disintegration.

Now, the judges want a "fuller" looks, which has led to the overuse of GH and insulin, which gives the pros that "glazed donut" look.

And people wonder why folks are flocking to physique (phyfiscie)

He hasn't competed since 2008 IIRC. Now he just tries to maintain his fragile ego and preps people on the side.

Beautiful Persian skin in that Nationals vid, by the way.

Even through the tights you can tell he has lots of smaller tears on the quads. Just like his arms.

the muscles have all retreated from their attachments.  If you look at that old vid his arms look normal.

why?

All that work and effort, and he look like a middle aged alcoholic? He did look like a bodybuilder with a lot of potential in that video, but amazingly he was able to destroy his body in a matter of months, and never rise to that level again  ;D
