5'4" and 245 pound (at his heaviest) diabetic Tim Belknap. Not a pretty physique, but freaky for such a small guy. He either came in light or HUGE. He was either striated and shredded or wasn't. He had some of the best leg development ever. He was a cut mass monster and a cross between Tom Platz, Rich Gaspari and Dorian.

Some of the best legs EVER and could get ripped to fucking shreds. :o
-
with todays judging criteria of mass at the expense of everything else Belknap could have been really succesful, the modern era of no shape aesthetics symmetry sucks
-
Terrible pecs. Narrow shoulders. Weak delts. Underwhelming arms. V-taper sucked. Back was probably awful.
-
Lets not forget he was a insulin user without growth or gut.

Agree. He looks like a mutant butt-plug. He was awful back then and looking back now he is still awful. Drugs can make anyone bigger and stronger but not better.
Columbu and Padilla are worlds better than this guy.

Goddamn, I love the smell of homosexuality in the morning. :-X
-
Bloated face and odd proportions
-
He was a hideous little fellow if the truth be told.
-
5´4" = 162 cm... ;D
-
He must have been 245 in the offseason. He is the father of the bloofy insulin look.
-
Terrible chest.
-

He was diabetic. He used insulin because of his diabetes.

R.I.P hairline
Looks like a bag of smashed assholes.
-
Stupid looking hair when he had the perm
-
Underrated? BAAAHAAAAA.....we could care less about him in the 80's. BUT....he was diabetic and used insulin...hence the box/wide waste physique. He was the first to show how things were going to come. Too bad he didn't use more and combine it with high amounts of STH...BOOM 1994 would have magically appeared in 1982.
-
5´4" = 162 cm... ;D
162.56 cm ;)....... 64" (5'4") * 2.54cm (1") = 162.56cm
-
You guys can shit on him as much as you want, but he had great fucking quad development and he improved as the years went by.
-

But back in the day people notices his "gut" was bigger than most in person. Thick waist. I believe Belknap is one of the reason's people looked at Insulin as a muscle builder...

This^^^Belknap was the beginnings of what insulin does to the body.
-
He is a midget he can hang out with branch warren they both look horrible.
-
was gonna say he looked dense and conditioned but nowhere near 245 and would have probably had to look very overweight to get to that.

lmafao scott, mutant butt plug , ha ha ha, scott do you think he took it in the butt to place higher to get that 100 dollar check and plastic trophy, and some good ole weider protein powder

Seems home blood glucose meters became widely available ,around 1981.So it sees at this time,it became practical to play with insulin levels,while conveniently monitoring blood glucose levels for hypoglycemia.
Home glucose monitoring was demonstrated to improve glycemic control of type 1 diabetes in the late 1970s, and the first meters were marketed for home use around 1981. The two models initially dominant in North America in the 1980s were the Glucometer, introduced in November 1981,whose trademark is owned by Bayer and the Accu-chek meter (by Roche). Consequently, these brand names have become synonymous with the generic product to many health care professionals.

Who knows? ;D I knew a few guys that played that game and all the while claimed they weren't homosexual, they just "did it for the money".

Says the schmoester that has a thread devoted to dudes with boobs looking to do the French-Tuck-Fuck with manlets like yourself. Unable to get a date with a "real doll", much less a real woman, you settle for the "make me a woman, big boy" kind.
Run along chai boy.

Was a fan of his in the early 80's.
Always wondered if he used insulin to his advantage to gain the size he had, altho too stocky to ever win any major comp. Horrible pecs, no taper...I guess he was the beginning of the mass monsters?

Yes - progressively worse! He was pioneering the latest IFBB look :)

"Branch-esque"

Actually, the last picture is the first and first is the last. The last pic was published in m+f july 1981 with him weighing around 230 and the first pic is when he got ripped at under 200 to compete in the 1981 America in the light heavies later in 1981 where he beat Rory. He then beat Lance Dreyer the heavyweight winner for the overall.

Unusually precise knowledge. I stand corrected (if true). ;D
-
When he first came on the scene he was of course huge and getting a lot of publicity but I don't think anyone thought of as much more than hype until he won the overall Mr. America. The day he won the American beating the likes of Rory he brought a great physique and was shredded. If I remember right he was compared to Ron Tueful. I actually had the opportunity to meet him when I worked for Muscle Digest.
-
Was he ok? I went to a place called Lindberg nutrition in the late 80s and he was there for a Weider seminar, he was real dick to everyone there, especially those there to meet him! He was so bad that the next weekend Weider had a rep out there giving free product away to anyone that said they were there the previous weekend.
-
Wouldn't surprise me. Looks like he is short and has an even shorter temper. High blood pressure of peace.
-

Its definitely true. Amazing what you remember from 35 years ago. That last pic posted was the first picture of him in Muscle and Fitness. No one had previously looked like that including the swollen over ripe tomato face. He got ripped and lost 30 lbs to compete as a light heavy at the Mr America that year.
They published some pics as his weight dropped to show the transformation but everyone expected him to compete in the heavyweight.

My understanding is that Tim had a rotten disposition. What's the story behind that?

Apparently when he was like 14 he was 90 lbs and used to get beat up at school by the boys and girls. The girls used to stuff their dirty gym socks in his mouth for fun. This was also covered in Muscle and Fitness in 81. I guess that would make anyone have a rotten disposition.

he was probably pissed off cause of all the cock he sucked to pay for his food and drugs and didnt get much out of it. besides a sore asshole .

He looks like the type of guy that would try to get into the WWF/WWE. And when Vince McM suggests he work with the midget side of wrestling, Belknap goes home and murders his own family...Just has that crazy look to him...

Getbig should start some sort of rumor about this. ;D

And still looks better than most of todays idiots :D

I met Tim once ... a day or two before he won the 1981 Mr. America title.
A mutual friend asked me if I would drive himself and Tim to the grocery store to do some last minute shopping.
During that drive and shopping experience Tim impressed me as a humble and quiet individual who was determined to win the Mr. A title.
OH yea! The main items purchased were those very dry puffed wheat/ rice cakes. A good number of them. And other minor stuff that I cam't recall.
Definitely not long enough to form a valid opinion ... but I can assure you that he was never UNDER-RATED.
And I can also assure you that insulin got a boost of interest in 1981 which may or may not have been due to Tim's involvement.
