Van you are right, he did turn pro and one pro show.But like I said before I needed more size to turn pro.When I weighed 290lbs off season I was only about 10 % bodyfat, because I have a very fast metabolism.At that weight I felt like shit, I couldn't tie my shoes, I couldn't walk up step, without getting winded, and my heart would pound of of my chest even when I slept.
Plus sitting and sleeping it was hard to get comfortable, and you sweat like a bastard.I don't know how these pro bodybuilders do it.I know my body could hold more weight, but even at 290 lbs I was very uncomfortable.
I know if I would have hoped on GH and Insulin I could have probably got up to at least 315-325 lbs.
When I was competing I was dating a girl in Colorado, and I befriended Eric Fromm who at the time was competing as well.Eric was constantly trying to get me to use GH and Insulin.He would say, your a freak now, why not become a monster.He even offered to show me how to time my insulin and get me kits.This back when Eric Fromm weighed 315 lbs, and he wasn't very big boned.Eric Fromm may he rest in peace was a very big guy.Man did he pull woman, girls loved Eric.
Eric was a nice guy and would have made a great pro if he didn't have so many bad habits.
Alot of people dont know this but Eric was a very good artist, he could draw almost anything.He called himself the Viking, and he would draw these awesome pictures of muscular vikings, and midevil pictures.
So Van your right, Art Atwood did win one pro show, the Canadian pro, but after that it was down Hill from there.
Nobody wants to look at a thick blocky, big wasted bodybuilder like myself.Art was one of the biggest and hardest pro bodybuilders to ever hit the stage, but him symmetry wasn't the best.Thats why he only won one pro show.
If ART had a smaller bone structure he be one of the best pro bodybuilders ever, he was huge and hard, but he had big bones.
Now Hazbin, you look great!!! You have great size and great shape, kudos to you my man for building such a great physique.
When I look at a physique like yours, it reminds me of how bodybuilding used to be, before these big bloated freaks came along.
Your huge but you still look human.You have the kind of physique that a tenage kid would pic up a magazine, and say, I want to look like him.Now tenages pic up magazines and say, man I don't want to look like Jay or Branch, in my opinion.
Good job Hazbin
