Man, what Fletcher could have been.

Titus and Prince both look awesome...

I was always impressed by how thick and striated Ingram was as well, as an amateur $:-\$

That lineup seriosly looks better than last year's Olympia lineup

michael arvilla · « **Reply #6 on:** February 02, 2009, 08:14:20 PM »

Def a crazy lineup that year!!!

Only one problem. What's with the skinny waists? These homies ever hear of insulin and hormone abuse? I think not!

But seriously... they look way better than today's pro's and they look just as big. What gives?

You wanna talk an "underrated bodybuilder".....what the hell was so wrong with Gerard Dente's physique?

they all looked awesome back then...

Great show, Guys like Gerard dante, Beau matlock, edgar Fletcher would have made great pros in this day and age and back then they couldnt even get their card. The sports gone backwards in leaps and bounds i dont care what anyone says, besides Wolfe and Heath there have been no good physiques turning pro in the last decade.

Meso_z · « **Reply #13 on:** February 03, 2009, 02:30:59 AM »

Prince looked fucking sick!!

kyomu · « **Reply #14 on:** February 03, 2009, 02:46:52 AM »

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more impressive than Pros of now a day.

Back then, aesthetics was the muscle.

Nowadays.....bodybuildin g is the muscle.

I was at that show and also training in Venice, where Titus was training, he weighed 219lbs for that show,a few days out he walked 10 yards away and told a few of the brothers he was 229 by the time he got to the back of the gym he was 235, funny thing was he was that smashed on the bain he didnt realise i was waiting paitently to weigh myself and saw his weight first hand, i wasnt stalking him but it always suprised me what bodybuilders always said they weighed against their actual weight. The show was at long Beach i recall, i watched it from the audience not bad seats about 10 rows back, thought the show was Princes hands down, he looked great all over but his hamstrings were something else.

No.
Back then, bodybuilding is the muscle.

Because, most of them are in great shape unlike now.
The muscle without cut = no muscle
The muscle with cut = real muscle

Always thought Prince looked better at this show (Titus = Torn pec,stomach distension...and looked "small" next to prince)
Craig did get in crazy shape for this show tho! (and it was "his time" after losing the year before to Phil Hernon)
great show/epic battles and a lot of "shoulda been" pros in the show!!!

DENTE was a jerzy boy,huge,i remember seeing him in a club in early ninties covered up he was large.he has great buisness and family marble buissness is nothing to sneeze at either.he was robbed at least 2 times to being pro.great shape for big man.

prince actualy had a very good physique, awsome taper, a little light in the back, but all round very impressive.. i think titus had the star factor from the clips, he just looked and acted like the winner, and he did hit all his shots very well..

Meso_z · « **Reply #24 on:** February 03, 2009, 08:39:21 AM »

Prince was fucking thick! damn.
