[Benito Mutumbo]

Can you imagine his kids on "bring your dad to school" day..
romano's son: "this is my dad , hes a wannabe wannabe professional body builder"

You can add ex-con, owned by Blechman, tranny loving, fired from every job he has ever had..  

Many more

Judging by the pics he is going through his 5th or 6th midlife crisis.

[HTexan]

drugs are aging him.

[225for70]

Romano has stayed in Mexico all Summer, working out, eating and purchasing anabolics legally in the Mexican pharmacies.

For 49 years old he looks great!

5"7.5 208lbs

does he really need to use steriods other than (HRT) to look like that...

John Romano doesn't have the greatest potential to be a top BB, he would admit that.
This is also pretty good proof that drugs can only do so much.
The guy has some impressive legs and an avg beach body.
He has a lot of knowledge about training and diet and went to Mexico to do a good cycle in a legal manner.
PLus, I bet he loves the atmosphere, cost of living and weather in Mexico.

Bottom line, the guy seems to have a lifetime passion for bodybuilding and enjoys the lifestyle.

and looks like teh shit

Having a lot of knowlegde about steroids and bodybuilding doesn't mean you will look like Mr Olympia.
He looks decent and busts his ass to make his body the best it can be on his own terms.
Taking juice doesn't mean you will have a pro physique.

its not because of his genetics, its because hes been lifting the same weights for decades. steroids or no steroids, gains come from incrreased workload. dude will never get big if he keeps "pumping and burning" his muscles to "failure" with the same weights he has always lifted. i guarantee you that when john romano looked his best, back when he actually had the body of a bodybuilder, he was lifting big weights.

I have never been a critic of steroid use in bodybuilding but is there really a point in taking them if you aren't eating enough?  I would assume John simply doesn't follow a bodybuilding diet and doesn't drink enough water, very similar to the diet I followed until just two days ago.

johns problem is not lack of nutrients. he eats a bodybuilding diet and on top of that takes tons of species supplements (not that these have any benefits, just mentioned them because of the extra protein). its the fact that he doesnt progress strength-wise.

So he basically isn't pushing himself hard enough in the gym?

He looked good on this 1994 cover of MD.  If I could bring my chest up to that level I would be pleased:

[240 is Back]

it might just be age.  Bob chick prefers machines to the compound movements, and he's six years younger than Romano.  Every pic I see of romano, he's using the chest press.  he may have shoulder issues (who doesn't after 30 years of lifting), and is stuck with machine movements for chest.  he's a narrow guy to begin with - and without heavy ass freeweights and good form, it's tough to build a chest.

He seemed to have a chest on the cover photo above so it gives me hope.

yeah, but he was 23 or 24 in that pic.

once you hit 30, shit starts falling off.

EXACTLY! It is his age. I took better care of myself then most of my peers but at 51, things change.
Sadly, I have to admit my joints can't take heavy reg barbell squats,benches  or deadlifts ever again.
You simply adapt to do what you CAN do, NOT what you may WANT to do.

that blonde dude is dwarfing that blacked hair chick

he isnt getting significantly stronger or else he would be getting significantly biggger. assuming he did sets above 5 reps and had decent form.

Actually the cover is only 16 years old so John was over 30.

Just get me a damn chest already!  I can't believe after 10 years of training I still don't have one. 

[20inch calves]

i have to say he looks good.

[Matt C]

John looks good and especially for 49, but it seems to me that in bodybuilding a lot of competitors don't peak until they are in their late thirties and can maintain their peak well into their forties.  There are numerous examples of this and if John looks good for 49 what does that say about how Vince Taylor looked at 49? 

[nzmusclemonster]

you look like shit.

hope this helps.

Here's a comparison of Ramano and Wallace Shawn.
