Shawn Ray had some strong legs
« on: August 30, 2008, 08:52:29 AM »


455lbs on squats, precontest, as the third exercise in his quad workout, well below parallel.  Goddamn that guy could train heavy.

actually that's either 335 or 365, there's 3 45's and either a 10 or a 25 on each side but it's still impressive with the form and the reps and yes Shawn had awesome quads.

There's alot of stuff Shawn was exceptionally good at that you never heard him brag about.  Diet, training, everything else.  He was bodybuilding perfection.

Sean Rey is NOT 5'7, he is about 5'4-5'5 MAX.

Fixed.  ;D

The guy has a tiny frame, probably 6.5 inch wrists, small joints etc.

Without drugs he never would have been big.

Shawn Ray was a bad ass. You can really appreciate more what a stud and personality he was/is looking back at the video clip.

Shawn is well over 5'7 and one of the strongest ifbb pros in the business. Don't let me talk about the gay gym you used to run in cali awhile ago. :-X
