Author Topic: Was 5'4", 21 year old Tim Belknap overlooked??? (Read 17045 times)

I was always a HUGE fan of this 5'4" 245 pound bodybuilder from the early 1980's. Judges critized him for the same reasons they critized Bertil Fox in the early 1980's. For being too FREAKY looking!!!! Here's many pictures of the classic little big guy:

This pic of his bicep and overall mass was SICK for the early 80's. He made Haney look like a lightweight in this pic:

THE Guy that originally brought insulin into the game..

Really?? Well, he was an 87 pound diabetic at 17 apparently and so was his younger brother Fred.

Nah, he was great as an amateur and then got all weird and blocky looking.

Danimal77 · « **Reply #5 on:** April 04, 2008, 11:30:23 PM »

Dude, there are so many better pics of him than that one.

That's the kind of look that always comes to my mind when somebody says "steroids". Unnatural mass, red, veiny and weird.

Let me think.

Oh yeah,

Narrow clavicles, long torso short chest and lat insertions and overpowering legs. Anything else I am missing?

Yeah and they're all from when he was an amateur (at his final am contest).

Moosejay · « **Reply #10 on:** April 06, 2008, 04:09:13 PM »

Yes...his physique looked slapped together in the most awkward of fashions...

Aside from the conditioning, I think he's just one of those guys that's too big and not too symmetrical. $:-\$

He looked good up to 1984. After that, his body started to look a little deformed. His cheeks, jowls, and neck took on a strange, lumpy, bloated look and although he still had a lot of muscles they did not look "healthy" or aesthetic. Back in the day he was THE MAN though.

His head and jowls are insane. He permanently looks like he's being 'scanned' and his head is about explode.

Where is The Coach at to claim that this guy didn't introduce insulin to bbing?

Coach swears it was Milos that ruined bbing by introducing insulin.....I mean Milos must have told Tim about this back when he was an 87lb weakling, right Coach?

The Coach is about as sharp as a rubber eraser.
