Chick, why did you competed Light Heavy at the 1990 nationals?

[Alex23]

 

Bob Chicherillo 1990 Nationals....

And how did you grow 2" since 1990  ?

[flexingtonsteele]

That year the show was drug tested. Thats why.

[Chick]

I was clean, and only had to drop about 10 lbs. to make the class....

LOL..they always seem to get the info wrong...height, weight, name, where i'm from...

[Paul Allen]

striations in the lats, unseen these days, even on you mr. Chick.

Why is that?

[jaejonna]

I like that look so much better imHo.

[Chick]

You'll find more striations on just about any lighter weight bb, as opposed to the heavier ones....more muscle mass will do that to you!~

makes sense, so you're saying the striations just fill in?  i'd think it'd be the other way around, that they'd stand out more.  oh well, you know better than me, i'm still looking for abs.

thanks.

[Trev]

Light heavy weight or not - Great physique.

Thats why I think it sucks when people sacrifice size for symmetry.

Depends on how far you take it...I don't think my symmetry suffered at any point in my career. The clip show, I'm 198 lbs....I won the USA at 235 lbs.

I will agree with that. BTW, I wanted to ask you about the artical in your "Bobservations" section in the new Flex. I think this might be the first time I agreed with you 100% on anything. Do you think there might be a chance that the judging system might take a turn for more symmetry? If so, that would be a great turnaround for the industry.

[Trev]

I prefer the symmetry and condition of you at 198, but thats probably coz my own personal ambitions are around that weight at 5ft 11 (Natural) - As the Greeks proved, images of perfectly symmetrical physiques last FOREVER.

[Trev]

Can't see it myself as I think this will always be a Freak's sport - Here's hoping though .....

The judges can only judge whats standing in front of them...the Bodybuilders are also responsible for what they present...it's a 50/50 split...

[Tamer Razor]

Looks very symmetrical to me at a higher bodyweight 

[Trev]

Yup, symmetrical, BUT something about the muscle quality is lost from 198 ??
Re Chicks last post - The pros have to earn a living, IF the criteria is for Mass at the cost of everything else, they'll do it surely, where as IF the criteria is for symmetry then surely the same will apply and a lot of the "Mass Monsters" will start to adjust their physiques accordingly - Would Milos have filled his arms with oil if he'd been up in the top 3 all the time? Don't think it will happen - I think from now on Mr "O" will always have to be 260 +

[Shawn Ray]

Wasn't that picture from the Teen Nationals in 85 Bob

[Beener]

Why is that?

Becaused bodybuilders stopped abusing dihuretics as much as they used to. Thats also why not as many are dieing.
