He is the first pro I ever met. It was at an NPC show on summer of 96. Shawn Ray was guest posing. Really nice guy and to me is a modern Steve Reeves.
Looking at his physique, this guy had it all. Ultra good looks, (no homo), height at 5'11 a legit top 6 Olympia physique at the peak of bodybuilding. It's insane and unfortunate that happened. Could have won An Arnold and if the judging was based on best overall package of size, shape and aesthetics, possibly an Olympia.
Start at 1:14 just like many 90s guys, insane for an amateur.

I had Phil Hernon winning this show.
-
I remember reading an article about him in the early 2000’s where he talked about his leukemia and how it derailed his career before it really got going. I also remember him saying something like “I should’ve been a model” or something. Definitely a “what could’ve been” type guy.
-
Wonder if he ever did anything schmoe-esque?

And Newman’s fiancé abandoned him as soon as she found out that he was sick

Wow. Didn't know that. Sheesh.
-
Maybe she was just trying to get a jumpstart on the whole till death do us part thing?
-
Agreed. He could have risen the ranks, easily.
-
That video was recorded on a TV using bone marrow for an antenna?
-
Wow. Didn't know that. Sheesh.
Yep. I don't know if it was as soon as she found out - from what I recall in a summer of 2003 interview with Dennis Newman from Muscular Development, Dennis shrunk to 160-lb, and then she dumped him.
I want to say this was a Paul Dillett cover, dated maybe August of 2003.
-
I think I got that right...I recall reading the article in Kingston, Ontario when I was Army training.
If I'm not mistaken, Paul Dillett discusses racist judging in the IFBB in the same magazine. That's when I found out he was half Black / half White. His dad must be French Canadian.
As I keep saying - his physique is very Goodrum-like. I think this magazine has the Dennis Newman interview, but I could be wrong:
-
The 5th competitor murdered it!
But honestly Newman and Hernon looked the best to me there.
I can't believe ESPN and CBS used to cover bodybuilding.
Old times lol
-

Lol ;D

Dennis was good. Really good.

Bro...

Female nature. Why stick around when your guy is in a weak state when there are plenty other healthy males. Every woman is repulsed by weak men. It doesn’t matter if it’s sickness. The hotter she is the sooner she’ll bail. Nature is cruel.

Titus was 'on fire' back in those days.

Have you heard of Brian Hankins? Guy's unreal. Definitely insane.

Looked damned near perfect....a total shame that he got sick.

A modern day Steve Reeves in terms of handsomeness. Man, I’m not gay I swear.

As much as guys want to front, they know when another man is extremely good looking. Especially if their girl is with them. They'll get insecure asf, grab her closer, ensure they avoid contact with said extremely good looking guy etc...
If we can spot an ugly sob, we can spot a handsome one.

Agreed, my young friend. I have no problem saying a man is handsome. Steve Reeves, Dennis Newman, Serge Nubret and Bob Paris are among the best looking bodybuilders ever. To acknowledge that doesn't make anyone gay, but I get that it is funny to put a "No Homo" in there.
I am glad Newman made it out alive and is still with his family.

I had to copy this from another's post in a different thread. It is not a good pose for this man.
I cannot think of this man's name but consider him to be among the better built and handsome bodybuilders of the last few decades. My brain is not working this morning, as if it ever does, LOL!
But credit is due him for he had a good face and an even better physique. Was it him that was in that S&M picture with some tiny lady? I hope not. If so, gross and weird but that does not mean he didn't have a great physique and a handsome face.

If you want to nitpick, he delts are so good they overpower his chest quite a bit. More a structural thing than a development issue

I probably agree with you. The usual suspects like Leidlmeyer and Mendenhall of course come up, but Newman had the facial beauty as well (Gaylord-level post self-reported :-*)
I had Phil Hernon winning this show.
And with your comment there goes another moment where I suddenly think something like, "Wow, so the HGH-induced leukaemia probably saved his life then" with Hernon having fell recently (PIP) :-\

Yeah, that's a fair point about the clavicle width thing *cough Heath cough* ;D
Still, not a deal-breaker...
And did I imagine another thread on here where someone said O'Hearn was pleased that Newman had to wind it back, as he felt threatened by Newman's much more handsome features? (Yeah, I know, just popping upstairs to put my pretty dress on - BRB :-*)

I would probably want to look like Dennis Newman out of any bodybuilders (alive or dead) American Muscle Magazine (TV show)did a feature on him before he turned pro ( was a young kid pumping gas into airplanes) she denies it…. But I swear I heard her Moan when he came on! >:(

All that hair on Newman is now gone, bald as a cue ball. Poor hair follicle genetics of peace

THE real life superman. It's all very sad what happened to him. But after everything, he is still kicking and doing his best. Huge respect for this man. A true inspiration of courage and bravery. Many men would have let themselves go. He should have zero regrets of the path he have chosen because at that time, it was exactly what he wanted and on top of that he was the best. An absolute legend.

He transitioned. I'm very inclusive on Facebook.

Newman? Mendenhall? Liedelmeyer? At the support group, they encourage yelling NO HOMO, NO HOMO, NO HOMO real loud in unison, maybe with pictures of vomit posted on the screen

He was in the Pump Room at NPC Indiana State Championships but, confronted with all the glittering posing straps, he gave up.
