looks good to me. Did Vince train him every year or just a couple of years?

Makkawy was one of the best in the early 80's, finishing 2nd in the Olympia in 83 and 84 and beat Haney in Haney's first year as a pro, not a big guy but good poser and excellent conditioning, shame physiques like his are no longer appreciated in BBing today!
Works as a trainer in Toronto these days!

He's one of the all time greats. A fantastic poser, in the mould of Ed Corney with the passion and flow between poses. Nothing awkward.

If he was a little taller and other factors were not in place, he would have had an even greater career. Serious fans of the sport all know of his greatness.

He was damn near perfect.

Too short, but a great physique that didn't really lack anything other than height.

I wonder how he looks these days.

Makkawy came over to train at Vince Gironda'a gym for awhile. Also was given some advice about posing from Gironda (can see the strong influence of this in the video). And the trademark broad shoulders, tapered lat's,  and good abs & calves of guy's who trained at Vince's. Exception might be Larry Scott or Don Holworth (who in my view, that's all, had more impressive delt width and development than most men than and now...including Scott) ,who's ab's never quite seemed brought out as much. Sort of like Sergo's.
