whoa...what a mean face!

he did look better at the evening show btw...

All negativity aside, he did make improvements from his prior show.

jezzusss christmass...being that ripped is cool and all but I would get more mass before cutting all the way down like that !!

I'm going as a recovered anorexic

Learning about you from this thread alone, I wish nothing more than your rise to the top of this sport. And I'm sure that with your charisma, inteligence and agenda, you will become a bodybuilding legend. And, as a fan, I wish you luck! Thanks for such a thoughtful response!

I understand you're a reader, and so I recommend a book, Bob Paris' Gorilla Suit. I recommend this book to you because it woke me up to the dark side of bodybuilding.

I'd like to share an excerpt from Bob Paris' Gorilla Suit, one that changed the direction of my life and put me into better perspective as to what I should do with it.

"A vision-a fantastical, imaginary movie clip-has continually run through my mind during the last year. I am climbing, climbing, climbing all alone, to the top of this enormous mountain. I fall sometimes-a lot, actually; hurt myself; get up; climb some more; fall down again. It seems as if I've been climbing this mountain forever. After a while, when I'm close enough to the top to see it through breaks in the cloud cover, I pull out my map, to see where I am and discover that I've gone up the wrong mountain. Now, this mountain that I'm on is a high one-I can tell this from the map it's every bit as high as the one I thought I was climbing. It's just not the right one. The other mountain is the one that many dream of climbing because the hand of fate has lent it greater prestige. It is easy to get them confused; the way my map is drawn the two look a great deal alike. But it's still the wrong one. And I get mad at myself, and I cuss out the mountain, and I cuss out the mapmaker, and I cuss out all the rocks I've tripped over and the crevices I've fallen into on the way up. But in spite of all that cussing, I'm still on this mountain."

It's really quite depressing from this perspective. And, Phil, I don't try to discourage your success in this sport because it's quite clear that the sport has done you well. What I'm saying is that deep in my heart I love bodybuilding and to not be able to put that part of my heart into this sport is something I have to will myself to do for my own good. That's because, unfortunetely, not all the athletes are treated like "The Gift".

If you're goal is to become the champion, you must make sure you have the power of influence. And use that influence to make the billion-dollar industry that is bodybuilding a place where the dreamers may be able to one day step on a stage, rise to the top of their beloved sport, and share in the glory.

I fell over an entire rack of DB's trying to put a pair back on the rack while I snuck a peek at cute babe in a thong with leotard.

what if by accident both your testicles get lopped off?

Yeah he did actually, did 315 for at least 15 reps as I remember and could not have been more than 200 lbs body wt  and around 5'6 or 7"

I competed against Johny stewart in the GOLDS classic in 86 ( he won the overall), he got 2nd in the recent masters pro to Chic.

There it is Adonis ,me right there in YOUR state hanging with some of the best Lt Hvy's in the country at the 87 NPC Jr USA held in NC!

Where are your contest pics? Oh that's right you don't have any hehehehehe
Vince  has been in how many shows? Vince has actual trophies and placed, you have nada but your own delusions  my friend     On the actual contest record VINCE owns you!

No joke LOL, hey all kidding aside this stroll down "amnesia lane" and wacky challenge crap has actually got me going here. I am 90 plus % sure I am doing that Metrolina or similar show next year.I actually have more mass, but need to diet like a bastard and keep up the  cardio, etc
I miss the adventure. Oh well gotta get to the bed, wifey calls and maybe I can get my old azz up for early morn cardio before school. Hmmmmm, that's the ticket  

HAHAHAHHAHHAHA, My Howie will own that young Fag Adonis. Adonis , you got no friggin legs, hahahhahaahahaa

Oh well, whatever dude??

Ok all jokes and fun /crazy crap aside, will you be at least going to the metrolina to watch?
If so , let me know maybe me, you and Vince and get together for some laughs.
take care, keep training hard and  other than the androgel I never will use drugs and have compted in all kinds of NPC shows, even won some. The NPC is the best overall organization and is the best place to compete drug free or whatever. I got first Hvy wt in the NPC western NC back in 87 and won the lt hvys in the Golds classic in Fayetteville NC back in 86. I lived in Fayetteville NC from 83 -88.
All in good fun, Howard

Overtraining is your worst enemy.

 

and NOTHING in this case = any well lit stage

Get in the damn show, ON STAGE or get lost ,young whippersnapper. I will loan you the  NPC card fee, you can pay me back in weekly installments  from the allowance your mom gives you

Laugh at Vinnie G all you want , he got on stage and put it on the line.
ON THE record Vince owns YOU>!!!!!!!!!!
