Born in 1970. Came of age in the glorious '80s.

Wish I could go back and remain in that decade.

The chicks were hottest then, too.

thank you,   sent a pic to muscle mag one time hoping to be discovered.  (pre internet).   

means a ton coming from you,  read all your articles in mmi (I've got all of the first 200 issues) as well as other publications you wrote for.

thank you.   I did the Canadians in 1991, 1995, 2001, 2005 and 2007.   never competed often enough to get my face known, or to figure out how to peak for a show.   here is a pic from my last contest in 2007   wt - 234  ht - 5'9''

Those were good times following bodybuilding.  And then things changed.  Flipping through a bodybuilding magazine in the early 90's, the first bodybuilder that I noticed that started taking things to a new level was Mohammed Benaziza, and then the rest of the competitors followed, and now the majority look like pregnant hippos.

I dont  know where he recruited from but at that time and area, where MMI shop was,  I remember there used to be a ton of strip bars. Used to try to sneak in before hitting legal age.  ;D

 :D You're a good man Hazbin. Appreciate the positive words. Those barely 18 inch arms and 35 inch waist @218-220 derailed my bodybuilding dreams.  It was tough to win almost every power meet I entered and barely crack the top-6 in my bodybuilding shows.

Back in those days there were 4-5 cars that I could lift effortlessly. The 1984 Honda Civic was my favorite.
