Aaron Baker at the 1996 German Grand Prix Prejudging. He placed 10th at this contest.
Probably the must underrated bodybuilder. Baker pretty much had it all. No weak body parts except for hams if you want to be picky. Some of the roundest muscle bellies ever, mass, proportions and aesthetic to top it off. Should of placed higher throughout his career, but we all know why (WBF).
-
If he had a good guru then, his career would have been very different. Only flaw I can see is he's a bit narrow and his waist could come in a tad. Other than that, pretty flawless.
-
Before Kai, Baker would dress as Batman.
-
Aaron was an animal at the 1995 Pro IronMan. Should've defeated Flex that year.
And yes, if Aaron had a good guru, Aaron would've given Michael Francois a run for his money 2 weeks later at the 1995 ASC. Note: Francois worked with Aceto for that show.
-
Why was he so overlooked/ underrated?!???! ( can't be just because he is " gay" Bob Paris wasn't overlooked or underrated) did Aaron piss off the Weiders or something???i mean this physique was insane!
-
Should have been Top 3 Olympia, but he was punished for going WBF......those were the days. 8)
-
Is it true that Aaron never competed in the IFBB as a pro?!?!( went right to the " WBF?") if that's true then that explains a lot!. I thought he was overlooked in the IFBB before going to the " WBF".... None of those guys did well who came back to the IFBB after competing in the rival organization ( paying your dues lol/ more like blacklisted )
-
He was huge at the "o" that year but he was better in 94
-
Friggin massive here. Must've hit the drugs heavy leading up to this show. Made Darrem and Flex look small.
-
Then of course, the 95 Ironman. Somebody at Getbig that went, said that everyone had Aaron winning that show
-
Kai Baker looked great there
-
Hope you guys are joking about if he had a guru, he would have done better! My lord tell me you're joking? Yeah Mike Francois worked with Aceto. So? Mike almost died on an operating table too working with Aceto. Not that long either. Colitis! He was done for good! Not that it was Aceto's sole fault. As well as Colitis can strike anyone. Just saying. What's with you guys and gurus? You don't need a fucking guru!!! Just about every top placing pro in the 80's and 90's did not have gurus. Some had trainers. But they were just motivators or babysitters. Dorian Yates Mr O never had a drug guru. Whoops, I mean a training guru- ::) please noobs... And Arron Baker was an IFBB PRO in many Olympias, before leaving for McMahon's camp. Who knows if that hurt him when he came back? Judge for your own eyes. His physique was insane! Pull up some of his pics online. 100 percent screwed, for whatever reason! (Generation I need a guru) nothingness! Next thing you know the mens physique guys will be hiring them? O wait,... They already do. Brother. :-\ ::) Sorry, so called gurus, if this hurts business? Learn your body guys!!!!! F..ck!

Thick as fuck. Look at his chest! No homo. Flex getting handily beaten.

Wrong! Aaron turned pro in 1990 I believe. His first pro show in WBF Championships in 1991.
-
Royalty: Someone asked if he was an IFBB PRO? he was, or he could not have competed in the Mr. O, Ironman, etc... What are you talking about? Just answered one guys question.The guy said did Arron just compete in McMahon's federation? Was he ever an IFBB pro? Well he was before leaving for a contract with McMahon. Like the others that did. Only to come back and never place that well!
-
Cobra or v-shaped?

I believe that Aaron won the USA in 1990. And he signed with the WBF almost instantly.
So Aaron never turned on the IFBB, because Aaron never signed with the IFBB (until AFTER his WBF career)
Aaron Baker's path = NPC---->WBF---->IFBB
Mike Christian's path = NPC---->IFBB---->WBF

1989 North American Championships - IFBB
Aaron placed 3rd
-

Haha! Yes! He's a cobra fer sure.

Wow, I never knew that. Makes sense why he was fucked.
-

I'd say more Cobra shaped lol
-
So it's Aaron Baker - NPC - IFBB - WBF- IFBB, AGAIN! Either way, with a physique that good? Royaly shafted!
-
Some of the deepest tri strations I've seen
-
Before Kai, Baker would dress as Batman.
Yup...
-
He had some great posing outfits:
-
Aaron is in the very beginning of the movie "Sister Act 2" (1993), as the guy in polka dot bikini:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J0qHMGen8jc
He is also in the shot right after these beginning credits end.
-

Chris Dickerson (another gay bodybuilder) actually won the Mr. Olympia, so it really can't be because Aaron was gay.
-

Aaron is SLAUGHTERING Flex there. Aaron had a full chest and thick lower legs, where as Flex had TINY little pecs (actually non-existent) and thin narrow legs.
-
He had some great posing outfits:
Holy shit! He looked sick in that red outfit. As in Ronnie Coleman quality muscle, cuts and size there. :o
-
Also at Orlando Pro in perhaps 95, Aaron took Flex to the limits and barely lost..

I think the 1995 Ironman was Wheeler's first contest after his car accident. I could be wrong though. I know there is video of this contest, but I can't find any high quality DVD of the show.

Was that before or after the Ninja's ?
Anyway, Aaron Baker was terrific and looked strong too. Flex never did. He's the most overrated BB in Olympia history. Top 10, at most top 5 once, but NEVER top 3. No way.

I thought that Flex was superb in 1993. These pics were taken at Gold's Gym right before the 1993 ASC
-
NO.
Just look at him.
That's not what a mister Olympia should look like.
Just a bunch of inflated bodyparts.
He was and is disgusting.
-
Flex looks really small there when not onstage. 216lbs I believe the best 216 lbs could ever look.
-
I believe he was 0% body fat there, the lowest reading in the history of bodybuilding. Billy Smith performed the measurement with calipers suited to the task of ascertaining accurate skin fold readings. Jim Quinn regaled us with this story during the subsequent ESPN telecast of the event in question: The Mr Olympia Contest of the year 1993.
stop perpetuating this silly myth.
0% BF = dead.

WORD!
-
Aarons calves in that video are ridiculous by all standards. Some of the best all time.
-
He was blackballed by weider for going to the wbf, he took the hardest hit as he was never put in to the top tier as a pro in Ifbb when he came back to the Ifbb!
-

Hey at least he was qualifying for the Olympia. Of all the post-WBFers, only Mike Quinn and Baker got decent placings. Quinn was past his prime though, only did a couple of shows after he came in off at the '94 O.
-
I use to like Aaron baker until one day at golds he tried to talk shot to me for walking past his bench, I just looked at him like... fuck you!
-

Kevin had the tiniest pecs on a Mr. Olympia contender. Did he ever do a bench press in his life?
-
And to think Aaron was a 2nd tier pro back in the day!
Man, we never knew how good these guys were until we lost it all to shitty drugs, abuse, shitty genetics, and lazy training and dieting.

We know what's on your mind, does earl know? :D

His muscle bellies, shape and structure were insane. For a 5'10 guy that was his limit in weight, he can't play the size game and as time went on all sorts of funky looking body parts and was overrated later on but in 1993 that's one of the best bbers ever to grace the stage
Chris Cormier imo was the most complete out of levrone, and flex. He didn't have body parts that stood out, and described as boring but he was balanced with good size, conditioning.
Shawn Ray comes to mind too but he was too short
-
Baker didnt have a chance vs Dorian like this
-

The ninja attack was right before the 1997 Mr. Olympia.

I'm sure that Aaron was scared ::)
