Antoine, coming into the 2022 Mr. Olympia contest:
-
Not a fan but he does look pretty nasty.
-
I saw that … is it real tho?
-
Nice, shaved off 10 years of his life.
Will be in the fourth call out.
-
looks outstanding, tbh

Is that so bad tho? (If he shaved off his “70’s or 80’s”)
-
I saw that … is it real tho?
I hadn't even thought of that!
He is about 10-lb up from last year.
I just assumed he was really focused, and running a heavier cycle.
-

I have a friend who is shaving off that time from his alcoholism.
He's 37 now...and says he feels like 60.
So to answer that question: I think it depends on his quality of life while alive.
Also, didn't Antoine have a fairly serious cardiac issue...like having more plaque in his heart than 99% of the population? Something like that?
I can only hope he's shaving 10-20 years off his life, and not 20+ years. :-\
-

Well considering he’ll be dead by 50 with his heart issues. He will now be dead by 40 if we’re lucky.

Well Antoine has been at this a long time now ….he’s always had a freaky lower body ….but the upper body was flat and shallow (kind of like Platz’s legs on a physique competitor) when he diets for shows his upper body loses fullness and size and “pop” …. Now all of a sudden he looks like Big Ramy lol! I’m just asking is it photoshopped? Is this actually “ real”

Lol...that's true, Mike - Antoine is massive. He may not quite Big Ramy size just [and hopefully won't try to be - just for health reasons], but he is legitimately one of the "mass monsters" of this year's Olympia.
Antoine may end up close to 265 at 5'11.5" this year. That definitely makes him one of the bigger guys at the Olympia this year.
As you said - Antoine has been doing this for a while, being a pro for 10 years now. I could be mistaken, but I think his big transformation came around 2020. I feel like he went from a stage ready 245 to 260 around then.
And now, he looks up another 10-lb - or definitely a solid 5-lb of mass at least.
So to answer the question: yeah, that's him, lol.
Antoine has said nothing about it being a photoshopped picture. Maybe it's just a favorable camera angle. Either way - Antoine has definitely put on some mass.
I hope his health is ok! I would hate to see anything happen to him.

Antoine, coming into the 2022 Mr. Olympia contest:
If that's real, he looks amazing. No doubt. I wonder if he has just said fuck it. Damned if I do. Damned if I don't and just decided to go for it at any cost.
-
Fuck man! I underestimated him ….that picture is just CRAZY! (Now his upper body matches the lower) looks like a completely different bodybuilder! …. Someone get him on a podcast and ask him what he did differently…. This is by far the best he has ever looked and puts him in contention! 🤘
-

That makes sense. It's sad, but...maybe he just decided this is his one chance to possibly be the best in the world at his chosen craft.
At 35, it's not like he can become a world champion at anything else. Even being top three would be great.
Something like 95% of Olympic athletes said they would be willing to die in six months if they won a gold medal, in a survey. That's just the mentality that a lot of them have.
Maybe some Getbiggers with a medical background would know if that may actually happen. I fear for Antoine's health, but...he does look good.
Also, you need to watch this movie, lol.

Dorian Hamilton is his coach I believe? Nutty!
-
Here is a man that has absolutely no regards towards his health but to please the schmoes! Well done
-

Ain’t no way he’s making it that long,he’s already dealing with heart problems and now he’s obviously had the common sense to massively up his dosages. Deadpool 2024 if no sooner.
-
Antoine, coming into the 2022 Mr. Olympia contest:
That’s not Mike Christian!
-
There is definitely site enhancement substances in his shoulders
-

Not plaque, but calcium. A high score "can" be worrisome, until you go for all the follow-up tests to get full diagnosis.
Calcium (fixed) can be a lot of very little spots in a lot of places (that add up) and dont restrict blood-flow at all.
Plaque gets calcified before it can become a blockage issue. (Can protect from ruptures). Too much calcium in the same sport, can cause blockages.
I think he did all the follow-ups and is fine. I went thru it myself, so I know the routine. (Family / hereditary issue)
One good thing that statins will do is calcify any plaque before it can rupture.
When I went to all my follow-procedures, I had zero problems. Perfect ejection fraction, zero blockages, etc.
However, jumping on heavy gear cycle like he's doing, isnt going to help his future.
-
:D
-
Lmao what are these guys taking? Everybody looks like Big Ramy now. SEO and slin FTW
-
Him looking like that in often active stimulant addiction while fucking homos in parks is impressive. Perhaps bodybuilding prevents him from dying from the recs?

There's a correlation between stimulant abuse and homosexuals.
Meth addicts in particular have a tendency to " cross the street."
-
Would love to see a guy like this show up, and beat folks like Nick, Hunter, etc...
Destroy their hype...
-
He looks great in the pics.
-
I don't know why some of you guys are losing your minds over his bod, asking if the pic is p/shopped...
He's pretty much looked the same for over 10 years - when juiced to the gills.
I'm sure he'll lose a tonne of muscle and look like shit on stage like he usually does (and like 98% of bodybuilders do).
-
Didn't know he was competing. Hopefully he come in full and peeled. Could upset some things in the 10-15 placings
-
he trains with Mike Vanwyke in Toronto - I forgot the name of the gym but some of the big Canadians go there
garanteed a lot of his look had to do with being able to do there and train - prob around less dudes poppin pills and doin hard drugs
-
Update:
Side chest / 2 weeks out / 270lbs
.
@wheels4life and been I hammering the posing all prep, combined with @dorian_hamilton carefully dieting me down while staying fuller than before and @drdnjackson keeping me healthy and optimal. I got the best team behind me. Having a wonderful fiancée has been the best too, I’m grateful for everyone in my life!
.
Let’s kill it in Vegas!

I know. I wonder if it can really change your preference like that but some insist speed does that. Some say heavy androgens can change your sexuality too towards being more gay. No one ever say steroids make homos straight though lol. They tried test on homos but it only made them more gay lol.

It’s pharmacy hgh in doses of 15-30iu daily

I guess it's all a...spectrum.
But if you have no touch of homosexuality to begin with, I don't see how it can turn someone gay.
Presumably, if any of us get drunk enough, our standards would lower. But that's not the same as completely changing our sexual orientation.
I'm of the position that sexual orientation is basically entirely genetic. I had no idea that testosterone could impact it. I had never heard that before.
-

Do you think he's still using rec drugs?
I could see him justify it during his cutting phase. Someone on here once said that people have used meth for cutting. I have no idea how true that is though.

Well yeah, lol. No, not THAT low...I mean women. You've never shagged a female while drunk that you regretted shagging?

You can use amphetamines during cutting of course. Actual meth I don't know but I suspect it's too strong to function as a normal human being, but I don't know, never tried it. Lots of bodybuilders use cocaine during cutting. One bodybuilder was going to beat me up or worse because he was using cocaine during his cut and apparently thought I was talking shit about him. It was just paranoia.
Bhanks said somewhere you can't use amphetamines before training. Why the hell not? They are great and for me it feels cleaner than all these dirty PWOs that used to have DMAA or whatever. I have used a lot of Vyvanse which incidentally is prescribed for binge eating disorder so you know it's great during cuts as an appetite suppressant. Lots of bodybuilders use Adderal. Some call it "meth". It's not but I guess any amphetamine is "meth" to the layman.
So yeah, Antoine could be using drugs still. He could probably get ADHD medications prescribed too, maybe he does. Amphetamines on script can actually reduce the chance of out of control street drug use. You're on amphetamines still but it's not as destructive.

If he says anything else its best to assume the opposite is true.

I'm of the position that sexual orientation is basically entirely genetic. I had no idea that testosterone could impact it. I had never heard that before.
I have heard and read about it being a spectrum too. But the concept is pretty foreign to me because I never felt attraction to men, inebriated or not. I have heard "straight" speed freaks talk about fucking trannies when fucked up and so on but I don't know if the gayness was totally brought on by drugs or what. I always believed in the genetic angle too. More lately I've considered whether sexuality is in fact malleable, especially if you are abused as a child or whatever. My impression is that many gays have some type of childhood gay abuse story.

…….
Walker looks fucking "beautiful" in that side chest. Anyone see anything wrong with him in that pose? It looks very very good to me and you can't see all his faults, can't really fault anything in that pose.
-

the problem is, it's not like you just drop dead at 65. You spend the last 5-10 years battling accumulated chronic disease and suffering through ever-decreasing quality of life. Just imagine being end-stage kidney failure and having to get dialysis 3-4x a week. Or suffering a heart attack and ending up w a failing heart, and you have to catch your breath on the landings when you climb stairs.
People who live healthy lifestlyes and take care of themselves tend to enjoy full quality of life as they age, with less or no chronic disease to weigh them down, ending with a quicker death. The phenomenon is known as "compression of morbidity".

Hmmmmm not trying To argue with you here but…all the bodybuilding deaths seem to happen rapidly (overnight ) Rich Piana / Dallas / Bostin Loyd/ etc etc at least that’s the way I wanna go out! (In my sleep on the Eve of my 70th birthday!) 🤘

Ok lol so Synthol kills you slowly (your list) and with great pain and many health complications…. While Steroids kills you quick / fast / overnight ( heart attack ) …. In your sleep … I don’t use Synthol …..

Bostin was in kidney failure for months

Bostin was in kidney failure for months
I know that was just off the top of my head …. I’m no doctor just seems like most of these bodybuilding deaths occur rather quickly (usually Heart attacks) and the long term suffering is usually due to synthol abuse! ….
-
Looks good but won't come anywhere near the top 10 if you take into account who's competing

only 12% of heart attacks are fatal
the other 88% of heart attacks wont kill you but will leave you with a damaged heart. But hey, what am i telling you all this for, sounds like you've got it figured out ;)

I don’t have anything figured out lol … the majority of bodybuilding deaths occurred very quickly (facts) and I hope I go out the same way (quickly in my sleep be nice … not some long agonizing slow death (Flex Wheeler/ Tom Prince ) that’s all I’m stating …… you guys want to tell me I’ll be in a hellish slow death lol … that’s your opinion ..and you certainly are entitled to it

I have heard some heart attacks don't damage your heart.
Didn't Dan Bilzerian claim that?

The question is finding the right balance, too much meth they end up looking like shizzo or bhanky
