the actual name is IFBB World Amateur Championships.  The IFBB stopped using the name Mr Universe because of a copyright dispute in 1978

Meet him in person, and he thinks he's god! Such a douche bag midget!!!!!! I never thought he had a great physique. Short, huge ass head in person. (10 lbs at least) all upper body. Lower body not great. Maybe for his time. I'm probably the only one who thinks Labrada's physique was nothing that special. Just MY OPINION! Flame on, as I can see it coming! ::)E :)

The reason why u think his physique was nothing special was prob due to the fact he was a douchebag to u, that'll change someone's perspective

Watched him compete in '88 and '89 and the British Grand Prix and he just oozed class on stage. Always posed, never relaxed and despite being small looked every inch the winner. Met him after - Was a gentleman. Had his sleeved rolled up and it looked like someone had wrapped the veins around the outside of his forearms! Very impressive conditioning

Might have caught him on a bad day. It's bad when you get those experiences - unfortunately some seem to be more blatantly having off days than others.

He was a good BB, I thought. Did well with what stature he had.

Fake would be more probable in terms of stubble supply, I would have thought.

Phil didn't compete that much as a pro. I wonder how well he would have done if he had. He won the NPC USA overall in 1984, beating Labrada that year.
Then, he won the light heavy and overall at the 1985 NPC Nationals, beating both Labrada and Ron Love for the overall. At the 1985 World Championships (Universe),
he lost to Josef Gromulus in the light heavies and disappeared for a few years. At the '86 Night of the Champions, Labrada won and Ron Love was second so
Phil probably would have won that show if he would have entered it. He finally came back in 1988 and won the Chicago Pro Show, beating out Gary Strydom
and John Hnatyshack. I was hoping he would do the Olympia that year because he probably would have made the top six but he stepped away from the scene
again.

He had a lot of size and proportion for his height. Very classy looking.

Thing is he had one or two great years and a lot of poor showings where he placed near the end. I think one year he did a complete 180 and won 4 major shows where he'd come last in the previous year. 1993 I think. Had a short career relatively but definitely was leaps and bounds a head when on point.
