i knew about one pro show he competed in.   he placed third and the prize money was ten grand.  he donated it to the amatuer bodybuilding federation to retain his amatuer status as he wanted to win the Mr. America.  he never did win it.

yup, i remember seeing him in that little chariot in the park. his chest was crazy

my metabolism stayed high til i was about 45.   seems just the last few years have caused a drastic slowdown.

wow, impressive.   how tall are you ?  I thought you were 5'7''ish.   we must be close to the same height.  i'm 5'9.5''

there is a pic of frank hitting that pose, and his lats are split into three extremely distinct parts.  absolute anatomy chart.

yes, that was my point

and Frank Zane was smaller than everyone one stage at the 1977 Mr. O.

people on here talk about me not going pro, but i could never figure out why you didn't go pro.   ( actually i think you found a more enjoyable way to make a living, smart guy!!!)

haha,  i'm usually an excellent guesser, but i missed the boat on this one!!!

if it's harder to see results, it is your eyesight

if it's harder to improve, that is probably your declining hormone levels.

hard work.   most people decide that calves can't change - that they are completely genetic, so they don't train them at all.

Robbi Robinson had horrible calves throughout his career, but when he focused on them in1979 he still added an inch to them. so a black guy with bad calf genetics can add an inch in a year. what can a guy with good insertions and genetic predisposition do if he focuses on calves harder than any other group??

they were lagging, but the shape was there, and when he built them they were the same shape only bigger

wow,   living the life.

i don't know, just a feeling i've always had.

my theory is that he was born to be near six feet tall.   but early use of androgens caused the epiphiseal (sp?) bone growth plates to fuse, stunting his skeletal growth.  the bonus to this is that your muscle cell count is set at birth (barring the hyperplasia arguement). so he had the muscle fibers and potential for muscle size of a six footer, crammed onto a 5'3'' frame.

got a chance to meet Pete a few years ago, he was with Keith.   super nice guy, as was Keith when he wasn't on here, lol.   he was always supercool to me on here to, but others didn't get along so well with him here.

awesome physique, awesome structure

that silouette of Dillet on page one is one of the most awesome displays of width ever ,.    and this pic of Pete Grymkowski dwarfing the pros of the day shows what a freak he was.

howorth

that's it!!!        (spoken in the voice of Fat Bastard from Austin powers)

less than a foot

do i need to call Lee Priest for that?

sorry, havent' heard of it, i'll google it.   i have tried light machines and brain wave manipulators
