When exactly did he start? And fella still built quite a freak out of himself.

He started working out around 35 years old. He competed within a year or so after he started. Pretty nuts.

That's impressive. Dude must've went full throttle on everything. He paid with his life, but I'm sure he wanted it bad enough to take that risk.

It's not inconceivable to look like that at 51. It's really not that old.

Probably. It doesn't take your whole life to build a solid muscle base. Allow 5-10 years and then you're still only 45.

In some ways, you may look better in your 50's if you start late.  You won't have any training injuries from years of heavy training and your receptors won't be burned out from years of hormone use.  Of course, this is assuming you're not a complete fat ass when you start at 35.

You could be right here. Guy like Gaspari started really young and was burned out completely well before 40...

He says he is on FB, of course, that means nothing. This whole show is a bit of a gamble. Half of the billed athletes haven't confirmed, and Jarka STILL hasn't sent out the tickets.

i only ask as i got an email from "him" stating the flooding conditions had derailed his prep .

but if he's doing it ... this is great news !!!

Gary is bald that is a wig.

He should shave his head like a normal 50 year old.

actually 131 kg = about 290 lbs.  i have a hard time believing that.

And if he would have some decent lats his weight would be 150kg/330lb. But he don't have any. No lat spread at all. How you can compete with so big flaw? If he would have lat spread like Haney or Kai Greene, he could win something. From front he look like any other top five pro, but from behind he look like some amateur.
