haha, yes, but will artificially modify his body with loads of drugs, because we all know that is the original body "God" gave him.  ??? ??? ???

His physique gets progressively worse if you start from the feet and go up. Crazy calves, great legs, decent abs, weak arms, shitty delts, and the worst fucking teeth ever witnessed on a living being.

He wouldn't even place in the top 6.  Heath, Roelly, Levrone's comeback, just for starters...

Lots of pros with good triceps these days.  Probably because of the powerlifting-inspired heavy training.

you can tell from his Instagram that he is insecure now about his grill, he hides his smile and when he does smile its a forced closed lip smile showing not teeth at all

Eric is a good guy but I don't think his comeback will be eventful. I hope he doesn't hire a Guru and waste his money. Just doing it on his own will get the same result.

Wasn't he working in the mine for a while? He looked his best at 202 when he turned pro. He should compete in the 212. God knows why he always goes up to 270 then back down to 220.

Not many guys can do well in the 212 being 5'9... Jose is like 5'3, Flex is, what?, 5'4? 5'5? If Erik doesn't put on a lot of quality mass on his upper body and come in diced he'll look like an amateur among pros. The 212 seems to be a short-man's game. If you're not 5'6 and under you just look stringy in that class.

 He looked good enough at 202 to turn pro. Worth a try at 212.

Hate to agree with this, but you are correct.  There was a time in the 70's and 80's when 5'9" and 212# was big enough.  That time is long gone.  Bah!

He has zero potential in the open class. Will get destroyed.

His best bet is to do the 212 and try to make top 6. That way he can say he was top 6 at the "Mr. Olympia."

This was my fave look from that contest

227lbs at like 6 feet and shredded, good enough to place 3rd, most of the guys today weigh that supposedly at 5.5 but most of that extra weight is glute and waist

Bullshit it still is. Robbie Robinson competed at 212.

Robbie competed as low as 206-208. Coe at 210. Zane between 180 and 200. Mentzer and Platz were considered heavy at 225 and 218 respectively. Bertil Fox and Casey Viator were extremely heavy at 230-235 at that time.
The 90's upped the game for guys who were 5'8"-5'10" (225-260 pounds became the norm).
Today everyone is shit anyway, so it's a mute point.
