I agree, that is why he and I are totally happy with his condition given the amount of time we had. I said the same thing to a friend of mine. King's 2001 conition was awesome, but the mass monsters are what the judges are looking for so I doubt he would have placed any higher regardless wether he looked better in 2001 or not. It would have been a big mistake to come in bigger with a huge gut and subpar conditioning.
The difference in muscle shape and fullness between a fully depleted contest ready Kamali and a "few weeks out" Kamali is night and day. Honestly, would coming in a bit heavier, fuller and not quite as sharp really be a bad move?
WTF...Kamali isn't even worth the time we're spending posting on this thread. Who likes this guy? He's an average guy with an average physique. He used to look o.k., but this is a "what have you done for me lately" industry. Now his proportions are awful. I think the best he ever looked was here:
7 PAGES of this...............botto m line is "Disgusted" did a great fucking job with king!(i would hire him for my prep anyday)King is looking better and better since working with Disgustedmaybe don't let him blow up this off-season
One more.
after King's poor showing you are officially the biggest bullshitter on this site and that's the truth, even in the "better" shots that you posted King shows a total lack of arm size and total lack of any quad sweep whatsoever.
wow we actually agree on something never thought I'd say that.Disgusted is making a fool out of himself by trying to convince us KK is in better shape than 2001.He's even pretending not to know what MALONEY meant when he mentioned the heavy training, as he mentioned on here (disgusted) that part of his plan to change kk was to increase his volume and reps and lower the weights.KK needs to lose 20-25 lbs offa that waist and like mr intenseone said he's gonna have to shed a lot of weight unfortunately he can't do that his ego is too small.
Kamali should just relax and retire. Why put yourself thru this??? you had your day and now its gone.....Announce retirement without excuses so its classy. Admit the sport has gone to a new level and wish the new guys luck.
Hi Joe
LOL........it's not me, I'm not smart enough to pull off a gimmik !!
NO bro, I meant Joe McNeil. Sorry I didn't clarify.
Jim knows his stuff and the greatest testament to this was what he did with King from the Europa to the Montreal show. I wouldn't call the NY PRO a "triumphant return" but he did what he could, that's clear. What's next on the King Nationwide Tour?
Dexter said the reason Kamali looked like shit when he trained with Joe was because he didnt listen to Joe and ate everyone and everything. Can enlighten us on this topic Disgusted?
