John has been at the National level since the early 2000's. He took 4th the year Tevita smashed his trophy and walked off stage.

John is BIG. Only about 5'5" but he busts his ass!

LOL reminds me of a time a friend of mine beat this guy at a show, dude was furious he lost, walked off stage, went to the bathroom and ripped the sink off the wall!  Police were called in  ;D

John writes great articles over at TNation.com

He looks great but his head looks too big for his body (not much he can do about that)

In other words top 3, right?  Bodybuilding stopped being healthy about 25-30 years ago.  :-[

Jay, Branch, Phil, Evan, ... they all look a lot healthier than Meadows' face does imo.

We're basically seeing the Curtis Leffler, Don Youngblood-type pink glow here. I hope he's not only advocating being healthy but also is so himself, because he does seem like a genuinely nice guy.

A relative expression if ever there was one.  I don't think you'll find many health professionals who think they look "healthy."  When they are all in contest shape and dry none of them look healthy.  Even off season, when they are carrying more water and look fuller, you should not be deceived; the human heart does not like to pump blood through a physique that is 5'7" and 250lbs+ be it muscle or fat.  :-\

I competed against this guy, he was sharp and in crazy condition. I wonder what he looks like offseason because he always has that cachexia look in his face, im guessing the high gh dose really does cause necrosis of fat cells, Palumbo has a similiar look.

Come on Bay, you KNOW I was being relative here  ;) Of course they are all very unhealthy, but some look to be a bit closer to the grave than others. And the ones with the purple-red head looking like it's about to explode any minute are one step closer than the others I'm afraid. (such as seen in these pics here)

I respect the hell out of this guy because he is so passionate about training, something that a lot of successful modern bodybuilders lack.
