Aaron Baker - 1996 German Grand Prix Prejudging - VIDEO!!!

[6 Reps]

Aaron is in the very beginning of the movie "Sister Act 2" (1993), as the guy in polka dot bikini:

He is also in the shot right after these beginning credits end.

Why was he so overlooked/ underrated?!???! ( can't be just because he is " gay" Bob Paris wasn't overlooked or underrated) did  Aaron piss off the Weiders or something???i mean this physique was insane!

Chris Dickerson (another gay bodybuilder) actually won the Mr. Olympia, so it really can't be because Aaron was gay.

[Danimal77]

Then of course, the 95 Ironman. Somebody at Getbig that went, said that everyone had Aaron winning that show

Aaron is SLAUGHTERING Flex there. Aaron had a full chest and thick lower legs, where as Flex had TINY little pecs (actually non-existent) and thin narrow legs.

[Danimal77]

He had some great posing outfits:

Holy shit! He looked sick in that red outfit. As in Ronnie Coleman quality muscle, cuts and size there. 

[littleguns]

Also at Orlando Pro in perhaps 95, Aaron took Flex to the limits and barely lost..

[Iceman1981]

Aaron was an animal at the 1995 Pro IronMan. Should've defeated Flex that year.


And yes, if Aaron had a good guru, Aaron would've given Michael Francois a run for his money 2 weeks later at the 1995 ASC.    Note: Francois worked with Aceto for that show.

I think the 1995 Ironman was Wheeler's first contest after his car accident. I could be wrong though. I know there is video of this contest, but I can't find any high quality DVD of the show.

Was that before or after the Ninja's ?
Anyway, Aaron Baker was terrific and looked strong too. Flex never did. He's the most overrated BB in Olympia history. Top 10, at most top 5 once, but NEVER top 3. No way.

I thought that Flex was superb in 1993. These pics were taken at Gold's Gym right before the 1993 ASC

[Dr Dutch]

NO.
Just look at him.
That's not what a mister Olympia should look like.
Just a bunch of inflated bodyparts.
He was and is disgusting.

I believe he was 0% body fat there, the lowest reading in the history of bodybuilding. Billy Smith performed the measurement with calipers suited to the task of ascertaining accurate skin fold readings. Jim Quinn regaled us with this story during the subsequent ESPN telecast of the event in question: The Mr Olympia Contest of the year 1993.

[Wiggs]

Flex looks really small there when not onstage. 216lbs I believe the best 216 lbs could ever look.

stop perpetuating this silly myth.
0% BF = dead.

This is a classic getbig meme. It will never die.

WORD!

[Wiggs]

Aarons calves in that  video are ridiculous by all standards. Some of the best all time.

[TSNWGS]

He was blackballed by weider for going to the wbf, he took the hardest hit as he was never put in to the top tier as a pro in Ifbb when he came back to the Ifbb!

[Nether Animal]

Hey at least he was qualifying for the Olympia. Of all the post-WBFers, only Mike Quinn and Baker got decent placings. Quinn was past his prime though, only did a couple of shows after he came in off at the '94 O.

[TSNWGS]

I use to like Aaron baker until one day at golds he tried to talk shot to me for walking past his bench, I just looked at him like... fuck you!

Kevin had the tiniest pecs on a Mr. Olympia contender. Did he ever do a bench press in his life?

[SaintAnger]

And to think Aaron was a 2nd tier pro back in the day!

Man, we never knew how good these guys were until we lost it all to shitty drugs, abuse, shitty genetics, and lazy training and dieting.

We know what's on your mind, does earl know?

His muscle bellies, shape and structure were insane. For a 5'10 guy that was his limit in weight, he can't play the size game and as time went on all sorts of funky looking body parts and was overrated later on but in 1993 that's one of the best bbers ever to grace the stage

Chris Cormier imo was the most complete out of levrone, and flex. He didn't have body parts that stood out, and described as boring but he was balanced with good size, conditioning.

Shawn Ray comes to mind too but he was too short

[flexbull]

Baker didnt have a chance vs Dorian like this

The ninja attack was right before the 1997 Mr. Olympia.
