Looking back at '96 Arnold Classic

[Nether Animal]

Some observations:

I've heard this claimed as Kevin's heaviest stage weight, but he looks lighter than 97-98.

One of the last good Dillett showings before his weaknesses started to become more apparent (chest disappearing, rear delts loaded with oil).

Munzer had really brought his arms up by this point.

Yup. He claimed to weigh 259 pounds in that competition. He was in his low-mid 250's in 1997 and 250 in 1998 (and even heavier in the Grand Prix's of those 2 years).

First. Munzer was overlooked as usual. The show was rightfully so between Flex and Kev. Could have went either way. Flex was of course pissed. I've said it for years. Watching the show, it was the best Kevin ever looked besides 93. But he was smaller. Best Kevin ever at that show. Hard, size, and ripped. Just my OP.

Wheeler should have won that contest for sure. Kevin was a little bigger but clearly not in the Flex's shape with those details.

I dig WHeeler's '96 look overall. The NOC as well, he was off the hook. Looked better than his much-lauded '98 showings because there isn't so much damn oil.

Sunken cheeks of peace. Only dexter takes it that far these days.
