Title: Aaron Baker - 1996 German Grand Prix Prejudging - VIDEO!!!
Post by: Iceman1981 on August 04, 2016, 01:17:19 PM
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.

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.

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 )

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!

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!

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

Aaron is in the very beginning of the movie "Sister Act 2" (1993), as the guy in polka dot bikini:

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.

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.

NO.

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.

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.

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
