The offseason pics I've seen of him (in mags taken from expo's) he doesn't even look like he works out.. plus his physique just doesn't scream 'pro-caliber' Lee Priest has similar stature and 10x the body that Eryk has. No offense to Eryk, I'm sure he's a nice guy.
It's really not fair to judge anyone in the offseason. As a matter of fact, if it's truly an "offseason," then that may be the reason he looks like such, but that only means his physique will look that much better when he is on.
I'm not defending Eryk or how he looks, but Lee Priest is arguably a top ten bodybuilder in the world, while Eryk is a 2 year pro. He did manage to place as high as 8th at the ironman which, is quite an accomplishment in my eyes. Again, please remember this is coming from someone who stood on stage with him as a LIGHTWEIGHT just 4 years ago. The fact the he now competes at 200 is amazing. That's my amateur bodybuilder status opinion.
