Melvin doing the Cormier ab roll. King looked good, and he wasn't going to look better. You can already see that he didn't have the arms nor the shape to compete at say the Arnold or top 5 at the O. He was structurally fucked.

king made the mistake of gaining more and more weight...
arabs, (and yesssss i know he is persian, but really all the same shitty genepool...)
always have big chest, big backs, also torso... but shitty arms and waistlines....
huge shoulders as well...... but always lack in the arms.

so the weight he gained went straight to his torso , and waist.... = looking like a frog.
had he stayed at this weight, about 225, and just polish his physique, he would still be around taking 10th place at the ac.... (little sarcasm) he did look good here though!

Before.

This.

King was about as good as he would get in 2001. Even his most hated enemy at the time, Shawn Ray, gave him his just due at the contest. But King made the mistake of thinking "bigger is better" and it went over like a fart in church. The only person that putting on 30lbs worked for, and that was for a very short time, was Ronnie in 2003. By 2004 Ronnie was on his downhill slide and never got close to being the Mr Olympia he was in 98-2001, but even after Ronnie won those he got a little worse each time. Then he came back in 2003 and shocked everyone, but King doesn't have those genetics like Ronnie, and it didn't work for him.
Disgusted helped a great deal, but apparently King didn't hold up his end of the bargain, don't quote me on that though.

King should have taken it easy and let quality and maturity do it's work. He just pushed it too much.

Cormier at the time was arguably  top 3 in the world ...def. top 5 ...in the MOST competitive era of BB. Kamali looked his best and still was not in the same league as him. From the front and back he was complete.

Calm down, he didn't look that good at all. She still had shitty arms and wide waist. You can see the beginnngs of his "frog" look. He was a overhyped piece of shit. And his ego got big because of that---it's what happens when you know you can't compete with the upper echelon guys, but are getting decent placings.

What next, the pic of him and Nasser on Harley's sitting at 300+ pounds?

Cormier there was in a class of his own, could very well have had an O if he maxed out his physique - no weaknesses and practically the very definition of the policy changes they made a few years later.

I cant tell you how pleased i am to see JD acknowledged on here, a genuine gentleman with one of the better physiques to ever come out of the UK. His arms were world class regardless of who he stood next to, in most lineups they would be in a league of their own. Never got what he deserved IMO, he was much better than his official placings.

Is that the one where they're flexing a bicep @ each other - appeared in Flex quite some years ago? I remember that pic mainly because the calf size differential was ridiculous, love him or hate him Nasser was a beast of a man in his prime.
