Shawn Rhoden - Why is he not more popular?
« on: February 17, 2017, 10:26:40 PM »
2x runner up or even more at the Mr O?

Yet no one gives a shit about him...how is that? Dude have some great structure...but...no details, no separation in them arms...dude look great from distance, but close up pictures he actually haven't got any details...

Where does he get money from? Runner up price money, is that enough? Some contract with supplement company?

He was gifted second this year. Thats two years in a row he showed up to the o with distension. Good quads but upper body is average

Looks totally uninspiring but the "league' sucks these days anyways....why is there so much nostalgia for the 90's? Lots of legit reasons.

The droopy-eyed fellow got a gift last year at the Olympia in terms of placing.

He's gifted, but lacks the charisma and his posing routines are gay

You know things are very bad when very few people even remember who got second at last year's Olympia.

Most stage routines from Hebrews scream gay.

Cedric McMillan is the same way.  As charismatic as Cancer.

In this day and age of social media personality is the most important thing because people want to be entertained, that is why kali muscle and rich piana got so big even though they are not pro bodybuilders, even if you win contests and you are boring you wont get a huge following.

I think it just depends on what you're looking for, solid information about training, nutrition, etc or simply entertainment. Most folks choose the latter, so I'm not surprised about the featured Youtube stars on Gen Iron.

He has the followers, but keeps quiet and keeps on building his physique.... like Dorian was... quiet at the time.

Not sure followers mean much of anything if you look at Instagram as a whole tho... Some things are just fun to keep on the Instagram feed to see, but it doesn't translate into sales.

He has no real personality.

Sure his physique is great. He needs a better back and conditioning, but he doesn't have a standout personality. He's too laid back. He's a go with the flow kind of guy.
