mate you gotta start thinking about life after BB.

i have watched you since you came onto the scene (from state shows here in australia) and never thought you had the genes to make it real big....but you've proved me wrong by adding heaps of mass which has allowed you to win shows against better genetics.

but mate its showing now..mixing it with massive guys who have great genetics really shows where its at and you are WAY down the list im afraid. not from lack of trying...but dude get out now and start thinking about $ after BB.

put your gear money into education or investment and put the same passion into ''normal'' life and you'll be a winner.

but mate to me it's very obvious that you are flogging a dead horse here...

every show you do from now costs you a year of your life and wastes the income from that year..

IMO of course...

Yup, but grainy doesn't ever win contests. Prove me wrong.

imo, he went too fast w/ drugs and caught a case of Paloumboism.
Either that, or his recent illness really fucked him up...hopefully this is all it is.

hes just not in vogue imo, guys a beast.

Could be, but throughout history, show me a guy who won because of grainyness.
Gaspari is the only guy I can think of who even came close.
Munzer is the other one I can think of (http://www.wpse.com/WS_Content/ImageGallery/ThumbnailView.asp?iGalleryUnq=269)

imo, sacrificing size and lines to squeeze out that last bit of water to get insane condition, isn't worth it when it comes to judging.

How much wood would Luke Wood suck if Luke Wood would suck wood?

Luke needs to move to US full time.. To capitalise on his career he needs to be around the top quality drugs. Pics dont do him justice, to see him in offseason form/condition is mindblowing.

I don't think more drugs would do him any good.

he should get off and get a job in lumbering.

Maybe Boyer Coe could get him a job at his car insurance place.

With more, i was also referring to a time line.

I agree give it up...No offence but we had a tiler come to our place and looked better

I think Luke had regressed a little. I agree, he and every BB apart from Coleman should think about career choices once they retire from BBing.

well lets say coleman is making 200k a year from bb(thats a low estimate), why would he quit? to do what? become a cop making 45k a year??? coleman has regressed from his former self thats for sure, but he will stay in it as long as he is making money, just like any smart human being would be doing.

with the amount of gear coleman takes i'd say he wont really have much of a future

True, but with 8 Olympia wins and supposed money from sponsors over the years, I'd imagine he'd have enough to retire and live off for the next 20 years or so.

I am Australian and very proud to see Luke representing his country. I wish him the best. He is doing the best he can do with his genetics. I actually work with a guy who used to work with Luke and Rocket Rod tells stories about how much of a nice guy he is. Years ago he would talk about one day being Mr Australia and he achieved that. Luke is a champion and just cause he gets last place at the greatest bodybuilding competition in the world doesn't mean that he is any less of a champion. Rod tells stories about how Luke used to sit in the back of the truck and eat all day long, and have to get out to go to the toilet all day long as well. Good luck to you Luke.

Tigerman · « **Reply #19 on:** March 04, 2007, 07:29:59 PM »

Luke is indeed a great guy and he still has margins to improve a lot.
I can see him placing higher in the future.

Nah, his genetic bone structure just doesn't mix with the best I'm afraid.... sure, he has the genetics to pack on a heap of muscle...

No matter 'how much he brings it together' he will always have that weird looking frame.

hardly...I'm talking about guys who everyone says "ohhh, such conditioning! such graininess!"

Yates was a '90s mass monster.

Gaspari and Munzer were 2 who got the above comments.

You have no idea what grainy and dry are if you think Dorian wasnt..
