Doesn't look 175lbs. In the before he looks 20lbs heavier. So he'd have been 205lbs, doesn't look it. But I'm just guessing.
175 + 20 = 195, slick.
and it really doesn't make a difference what you say he looks like, he was 175 on stage and a bit under 200 when he started. not every person who weighs 175 is going to have the same visual appearance, deal with it. i can understand how you'd get confused though, since you're on the tiny side. 5'11" at 175 is going to look small.
Worth noting - Adonis beat over 80% of the Mr GetBig entrants eating junk., including a seasoned NPC guy.
worth noting: no he didn't. if you paid attention to every bit of dietary advice he gave out until he went nuts and lost the mr getbig, he always advocated high protein, low carb, moderate fat. back on mayhem when he went from fat to lean he used to post "bodybuilder recipes" for how to make a pizza or something that was whole grain, low GI, and high protein. did it all the time.
it wasn't until he lost the mr getbig and was desperate to validate himself that these phony baloney* principles came about. as late as september of 2006 he was telling garraeth to go low carb and high protein to shed the pounds. besides, he "won" based on two things: his conditioning that had nothing to do with eating junk, and his heavily enhanced photographs. he had no business even in the top 5, off the top of my head DW and bast would have beat him if they'd played his "put as much shadow on me as possible and pose covered in oil" game.
simple as that.
