BADELL at his best...

[Jayel]

That's recent? There was rumours he had serious health problems but we heard nothing more... He was training, doing PT and cross fit style stuff as recently as last year but his fb went quiet..

From what I can see that image surfaced in September this year...

[Ronnie Rep]

Guess this is from 2007. I Always thought he had a weaker RLS but that looks insane there. No real distension, etc.

In before 100% natural of peace.

He looked great. No weaknesses, dense and ripped. That physique should would destroy anybody in in the top 10 Olympia including Heath.

Shawn may have had a better bodybuilding career.... But Gustavo was top 3 at the Olympia at least twice.

Not Badell related but this has to be the sickest shot of Ray I've seen. I remember Hulkster used to pull this one out for reference a lot.

It seems that most bodyparts can shrink down and still look somewhat normal except for the biceps.   A lot of ex pros biceps look like blown out bags or shit.  What is the cause of this?

[Parker]

I remember Shawn Ray saying Badell looked liked a whole bunch of body parts thrown together.

Had kind of a blocky look.

Or was that about Paco Bautista?

Relatively small muscle that received years & years of site injections. Tiny damage upon tiny damage upon tiny damage.... each time... accumulates into major damage.

Naw, sickest shot of Ray is when he is doing a side tricep's shot in the mirror while wearing birth control glasses

Oh yeah this one. Most people post the one screenshot with the Japanese text at the bottom but the aspect ratio is kind of misleading. I believe this is the original.

Yep, that's the one. Even Shawn looks surprised at his conditioning

LOL...YEAH ..BUT HE WAS KNOWN FOR HIS FRONT MM..AB AND THIGH WAS GREAT AS WELL...

Yep, he sure was. Striations on quads

Those glasses spotted a glacier on venus...

Or was that about Paco Bautista?

You're right, Parker.

It was Paco.

Cormier once said Paco looked like someone had sewn him up in a muscle suit.

But Shawn said Badell was "put together kind of strange."

I still have that FLEX issue.

It was the year Shawn skipped the Mr. O and the magazine had him predict the contest and rate/rank all the competitors.

He said Ronnie could've turned up with a torn bicep and/or a distended gut and he would still win. Basically saying the fix was in.

WHEN DID RAY REITRE?CAUSE THEN BADELL WASN'T HIS PEAK LOOK YET TOWARDS THE END OF RAY'S RUN.SO I CAN SEE RAY SAYING THAT ABOUT BADELL PRE 07

[Nether Animal]

Ray's last 'O was 2001, and he did some sporadic guest posing after that I believe?

Wasn't that the year he blew his top during the press conference?

Makes since that he would boycott 2002, but did he ever consider coming back in '03 or later?

BADELL wasn't making waves till 05 I believe so ray was just being a commentator at that point not actually being onstage against badell..

[Royalty]

Ray retired in '01

Badell placed 3rd in '04 & '05


From 2001-2006, the story was pretty much just about Jay & Ronnie
