Thanks for the heads-up and the viewing information.

He's one of the few ex pros that still look good. Wonder if he's just juicing up for photo shoots or he lives the life style.

Porter looks healthy now but he's definitely not juiced up. He actually looks pretty thin.

He left his job as a fireman for months at a time? Must be nice.

One of the best individuals I've met within the world of bodybuilding.

Yes, he looks amazing now. Like an athlete. I wonder what his training is like now?

Typical "push the biceps out pose". What did he ever accomplish on stage anyway.

He looks lean, muscular with a small waist. That's a home run in my book for a guy training naturally. He has nothing to prove anymore. He won plenty of pro shows and came in 5th in the Olympia.

He's natural??? If you say so.

Hard to believe a guy who is 5'7" and 170lbs is natural?

Yes, because at my height 5'11 or so my natty weight would be 170.

deadz, are you having a bad day today? Do you need a hug? I hope your day gets better.

He barely has any muscle at all. How can you doubt he is natural? He is probably 5 '7' 165 there.

His genetics are likely far better than yours. Ever consider that? He's won pro shows.

Porter was good and I grew up watching him. He placed first in the 91 nationals light heavyweight and lost the overall to Kevin Levrone.

My memory is pretty good today!

Now I will listen to the show!

Thanks John!

No because I was that weight before I touched a weight.

Porter Cottrell has the exact physique I've been shooting for the last few years. He looks healthy and fit. I may have to put this photo of him on the refrigerator.
