Post by: Nether Animal on October 14, 2016, 03:38:08 PM
No signs of slowing down

I bet that he regrets stepping away at that point. He probably could've done some "damage" at the 2002 Olympia with Cutler absent, and with Coleman at his worst.

I think Shaw could make a great comeback. Give him 2 years of full training! He would look full and muscular...

Would probably look better than Kevin...

Shawn Ray was pretty fucking good! Symmetry of peace. Also Did know how to pose!

He had atleast 5-6 year more in him to progress...but maybe smart to quit before body say stop!

Sad to see him go from this to a fat turd in the span of like two years.

Always looked great standing by himself, but when standing next to 90's mass monsters he faded a bit.

A+ upper body. Blocky legs detract from overall look.

very good but overrated based on the fact he got 2nd twice at the O and many actually believe he should've won

he had no business ever beating flex, cormier, or Mr. Levrone

looked so tiny next to dorian and nasser

he blamed his placing 2nd on talking and complaining too much, i think his talking got him better placings

He looked extremely freaky for being in the more classic physique league.
Arms were outstanding... reminded me of  Ronnie.

Boring negro physique, never understood what the fuss was about. Far better in his own mind than he was

From this to this I dont understand why he let himself go like that, I mean once you get to that level it does not take much to stay in shape, just watch what you eat and do some basic training in the gym, how can he be happy being a fat slob.

If he stayed in shape u guys would be saying "he's still on the sauce, he's retired, why stay big?"

U guys seen Melvin Anthony lately? He's younger than Shawn and doesn't even look like he lifts

Shawn did the right thing for his health.  He was not going to win the Mr Olympia which was his goal.  Best to walk away with your organs intact.


As far as Melvin Anthony.....yes, he's pretty skinny.  Most people quit due to illness after using drugs for so long

Melvin would have that "I don't lift" look during the offseason while he was in his prime.

His body responded to the drugs very rapidly.

Going out in a blaze of glory. Damn near perfection right there. Very few flaws on that physique. Consistent as fuck.

he looked the exact same way every year

and it's easy to be consistent when you only compete once a year and just try to refine rather than get bigger

What about '94? I know most people look to that one as his best, even Shawn himself.

Here it is next to '95:

You could literally put a photo of him hitting that pose every single year from 1987 until 1997 and no one would be able to tell the difference.
