Looks great, always has, but it's a young man's game.

Well, Dex won his fifth Arnold Classic and came in second at the Mr. O at 46. And it could be argued that he won that as well. And Darrem is 46 as well.

he vanished for a while and is now obviously back on the scene he has a pleasing physique and great arms, never was really that wide and used to do that stupid robot posing routine all the time.

Another bodybuilding comeback?

Darrem was lame the first go-round.

He'll achieve nothing and look a little worse doing it. Great plan.

I'M very aware of that. But fact of the matter is the younger/better looking guy will take the show over a guy pushing 50.

I guess we may see an age limit soon as the class seems to be growing.

Look at what's out there. Everybody has blown out guts, moon faces. If anything, Darrem is the last of the real 90s competitors. He was competing during the heyday. Now, I am not saying he will win anything.

Dude was at the '92 NOC and he's still around.

Still not as impressive as Dex since he took time off and was never quite as busy, but props for sure..

True about today's crop not being so good. But he lacks a lot of size, would go in the 212 category I think but be too tall?

Physique is best for him. He will do well, but is almost too built for it.

Not sure where he fits, he has a kick ass real life build though!

he really lowered the doses

compare that to his BFO videos- hes a lot bigger and harder in those BFO videos


his body looks old and worn out unlike dexter

never liked darrems shape- odd shape, funny mismatch of bodyparts, never flowed

He's beaten guys much bigger than himself before now. In 2003, he won the Maximus Pro in Italy, defeating the monstrous Markus Ruhl.

I attended the show in Orlando in 2004, where he bested the likes of Art Atwood and Quincy Taylor.

I think Darrem looks phenomenal.  15 shows a year is exciting to me.  Sounds like he's not even going to bother with diuretics, which is very refreshing.  I hope this division breathes new life into the "sport" and kills the mens open division. 

Good luck to Darrem!

This. I remember seeing him in the gym. Real quiet. Barely talked to his son who was also very quiet. Darrem seemed to have a fondness for fitness skanks and not even good looking ones.

He's not married to his wife, Kim, anymore?

Im not sure. In the late 2000s, he had this one chick he was always training and hanging with. Had a real man face. There was also an older broad at the gym that acted like she was his girlfriend although he barely paid attention to her.

I may be in the minority, but I always thought his biceps seemed like obvious synthol use.  There was a full-length training vid that used to be on youtube and it seemed like his biceps were always flexed, even when his arm were fully extended.

GUY packed a lot of size over a little frame over time he gained a bit here and there...like someone mentioned funky shape in certain parts,,his legs were shredded and zippered feathered look,chest and abs had not classic shape compared to other he competed with...flow was off in relaxed pose front..props on conditioning a-1 there,arms were huge..
