13 years ago... this guy was the talk of the town

[Nether Animal]

RICHARD JONES was his name... the hype train derailed along with his interest in bbing. Made a half-hearted comeback a few years later to little fanfare/avail:




That said, he was pushed as a successor to RAY's look and a future contender, but IMO is a poor man's Shawn at best. Has triceps like Ronnie

[DroppingPlates]

Sickening genetics... the positive thing is that he's prob still in good health.

[falco]

Manlet, was he one?

[mass243]

Lower body of a woman.

Why does he have a shredded upper body but his butt is smooth like a baby.

Old school build right there!!


Big props!

Was a deputy sheriff in California ( was making a " comeback" a few years ago and possibly comming to Florida to train, showed me some pictures and he looked amazing ) haven't heard anything lately ( maybe he will jump in here and update us)

That's a great shot right there - girl glutes or no.  Good looking b4st4rd... decent banana hammock too... (no homo, and sorry that's just the crack talking, I'm on vacation and have been awake a loooong time! )

[moty]

How is everything feathered above the waist but below he looks like he barely trains or diets? Smooth as silk below the waist but upper body looks great.

That pic with the bandana is sick.

My first show was in 2014 (3rd placing), but I still compete

[Fortress]

Too much estrogen in that lower body.

He posted this about 13 weeks ago on his instagram:


I'll be the first to admit, I suck at selfies. So I apologize for the poor quality AND the dirty gym mirror. BUT....How did YOU start your Saturday morning? I kicked mine off with a little bi & tri workout! There's nothing like an early morning pump to start the day. 💥💥DOUBLE TAP IF YOU AGREE💥💥 My current weight: 227lbs. My diet officially begins June 6th. With this new Classic Physique Division, I have to get my weight down pretty low. I haven't been in the 180's since 2002. In fact, I think I have to get down lower than that... I think in the 175-180lbs range. Yikes! I'm still figuring out how I'm gonna get my weight down to that range. I won the light-heavies and overall titles at 2002 NPC Los Angeles Championship at 183lbs. Exactly one year later, I was 198.25lbs when I won the 2003 Mr. USA. Needless to say, it's gonna be a challenge to get down to the required weight for this new Classic Physique Division. 2 HOURS OF CARDIO A DAY.... HERE I COME. 😞😭 #bodybuilding #saturdayworkout #armday #biceps #triceps #ifbb #professionalbodybuilder #ifbbpro #selfie #pro #npc #comeback #richardjones #mrusa2003 #weightlifting #bodybuilder #dailyphoto #proathlete #photooftheday #instafit #lift #fitfam #dirtygymmirror

Shawn helped him get his weider contract at the time and he was getting paid 90k from just that I believe, shortly after he retired

Shawn wasn't too happy about all that went on

Didn't he retire because he was studying law and made a comeback a few years later as a 212 competitor?

That was part of the reason too

He didn't want to do what was needed to compete as a pro is another whether that means excessive GH and insulin

Great song by Jayson Genovese!

[240 is Back]

probably trains twice a week, and looks better than 100% of getbig.

[HowDog]

Wasnt he getting his mba?

[Bevo]

That's not hard to do

He looks better than the majority of the pros competing today
