Peter Putnam won his class at USAs but missed getting his pro card. He's passing on the USAs this year to focus on Nationals.

Kind of old news.

STFU you moron.

If Putnam is a pro caliper amateur, then the ranks of the amatuers are pretty fucked up.

That guy would have had trouble winning the LA Open or the Orange County Msucle Classic back in the 80's.

Eh...

gh15 knows his stuff when it comes to bodybuilding. Not that he is necessarily right about everything, but if I had to bet on contest results based on one member's predictions, he would definitely be the one.

By the way, as far as the Peter bashing goes (which hopefully has subsided), he was kind enough to give me a free autographed picture at the O last year. That's pretty cool when you consider that is his income at the expos. It may seem like nothing, but really, it's not. I think most would agree that he is a nice guy if they met him.

Agreed. He will get it this year tho at Nationals. He got pretty big so the cut to Light Heavy is gonna be very tough since most of the weight he added was muscle and his bodyfat is still low.

he should wait for the North American championship - that show usually has a pretty weak lineup

Both Peter and Jess are way too nice to be involved in this business. I had a chance to speak with them at the Arnold and they are very sweet and down-to-earth people. Heck, I might even move to Tennessee just to closer to them!

Not weak on an absolute scale, but weaker than the Nationals yes. I think you are correct that it would be a good show for Putnam to enter.

And Special Ed, on occasion there are some down to earth people in the business. I suppose it's just a matter of not giving in to some of the excesses of the scene.

it is a smart move because if he comesin shape then he is guaranteed his class and a pro card

I heard Paul Dillet is great with other guys' wives. Ask Christian Loabarede, as he can attest to that......

Pete is a really cool guy. Met him a few times. If he nails his conditioning he should get his card. I'm not really sure who else is a major contender in the Light Heavies.

you said last year that the reason that Putnam did not get his pro card was because his picture was used to promote an open source board.

He seems like a great guy !
sad people gave him shit for the judges decisions.

I don't think he should have won the last few times also but he looked great at the nats, condition was much improved
