Title: Is Darrem Charles on a downhill slope?
Post by: DragonsBreath on August 29, 2006, 11:45:56 PM
With this past weekend's 4th place finish, losing to guys that he has beat before. Is this the beginning of the end of Charles?

Darrem will be back. while it was not a good result for him he is one of the few guys who can get really shredded.

Just a bad day at the office ! One of the best professionals - it is more like a great accomplishiment for the people who placed ahead of him and increases the value of this devalued sport- the athletes brought more focus and interest in a " small" show and it was appreciated. Thank you  and see you soon D

I'd say for a guy as consistent as he is it leaves one wondering.

The show was small  but the competition was good - Taylor and Freeman just brought it and when the size fact came into play - Darrem just had a hard day at the office . nothing to worry about !

Also, this was Darrem's 4th contest this year. Trying to peak 4 times in 6 months has got to be rough. Plus, he's doing the Montreal. Can't win them all.

Not at all.  He just entered a show where all the other guys were big and he was the odd man out.  The judges were looking for apples and that night he was an orange.  Darrem is getting better with age.

I honestly thought he would take that Europa show with ease.

Darrem needs one year off to bulk up 10lbs at least or no future.
He needs to surprise judge with changing his look.
Plus he looks tired to keep his condition full and shredded.

He is still one of the best in the business and will stay that way because judges are going more towards quality and not quantity of mass....

LOL - you like that one, eh? GET LOW!

I'm pretty sure he's dead now . . .

If he's doing the Olympia he's dead on. Watch what he looks like in a month.  Everybody calm down!

I thought he would take the show as well, Darrem usually wins a bunch of the smaller shows but given Heath making his debuts and Freeman looking great maybe throwing in him the #1 spot isn't as sure a thing as it used to be.

Post by: fathead on August 30, 2006, 12:10:23 PM
I think the judges just thought he was getting a little greedy (he's  qualified like 3 times over)and they gave the other guys a nod.

This sounds like a very valid theory....

hahahaha 42" vertical leap?  hahahaha did Quinn measure it at Golds?

More like 4" or 2", depending on what the fatass engulfed that day?

Yes I agree Ronnie is beatable...But not with the current politics in bodybuilding would they let that happen even if Big Ron comes in off....He won the Olympia before with bulging water.....

Darrem needs to "up the dosage"

maybe he take just as much as everyone

on PBBW a year ago he said he uses but doesn't "abuse" like the rest of the guys

If Darrem said he was the second coming of Jesus would you believe him ?

Lee Priest says he use a shot of deca per week, do you believe him ?

or course every pro will say that they don't use a lot

just read MD, in every column they say: if they made bodybuilding drug tested, it wouldn't affect my placing at all I would still look very good  ::)

If Darrem's shooting over 1000 mg of test a week and messing around with slin and alll that good stuff I'd be surprised. The man is not very big - if he needs to take as much as Jay, most of it is probably counterfeit

a shredded 220 pounds is what I would consider "big"

Too many variables this year for politics - 

Jay's issues with 2nd
Gustavo - too crazy to believe in politics and just brings it
dexter - shape and conditioning and returning to the scene of his embarassment of a questionable placing
Gunter - the movie star trying to really be taken serious and not be forgotten
Mohommed - the complainer - who whined hismself into the show and will bring an annoying package to distract the top 6
Darrem - having something to prove
The Rookies - Wilmore and Henry - showing you do not have to wait years to see good stuff
Quincy - reiventing the Franinstein body and 1/2 of the twin towers -
Freeman - The 2nd 1/2 of the twin towers - the xman - the total package - a 6'2  295 lbs with a 31in waist

GOOD LUCK TOO RONNIE - HE WILL NEED IT !

Yeah, Quincy "15th place" Taylor, David "4 foot" Henry, Bill "5th at a weak NY" Willmore and Darrem "UP THE DOSAGE" Charles.

I bet Ronnie's shaking in his silks  ::)

No...just a judging correction for an upward slope that should have not occurred....(beautiful physique, but at best a good B Level pro with his size)

no more 15th for quincy - sorry he has stepped up! David henry - was a monster at the 2 shows makerted towards - phil and darrem - he was in the mix and that is a TRUE STORY ! Wilmore is a great pro - and will do very well - charles is always good

Ronnie is probably just concentrating on his mission number 9 and who blames him - This is what I am saying - HE IS BEATABLE AND THAT IS A TRUE STORY !
