This dude is severely mentally ill.

By any measure he looks like absolute shit.

Maybe the mask is throwing his symmetry off - try one without...

He is the Tom Sizemore of muscledom.

All I see is mental illness, King trying to make it as a pro was like watching a kid running 13 seconds over the 100m thinking with drugs he was the next carl lewis, it takes genetics and drugs, unfortunately like many he didn't have enough of of the most important one and ended up walking around more like a side effect than a pro. But he's not on his own.

That works on so many levels - bravo!

I always liked King. He was interesting to listen to, and he was was funny.. and never boring.

By now he must have worn a groove in the grass up that hill.

His condition is on-point!

At his best he looked great. Posing was fantastic and bit of borrowed posing stuff from Vince Taylor. So few make money from bodybuilding. Where do you go when you juice and compete from 20 to 30 years old without a career? This sport based on drugs is really a dead end.

Absolutely phenomenal body for a guido. Not really a bodybuilding "physique", though.

How is top ten at the Olympia, not really a bodybuilding physique?

Quote from: tommywishbone on March 09, 2019, 03:49:18 PM

He never looked good. Never. One of the absolutely worst IFBB Pros ever. Earned his Pro Card through perseverance and lack of competition.

He did have an IFBB Pro Card when is meant something, not like today where it means nothing... but he was always terrible. Absolutely terrible.

He turned pro before Johnnie Jackson, Branch Warren, or Victor Martinez.

And, he placed top ten at the Olympia his rookie year, after a top 5 placing at the Arnold Classic against the likes of Dennis James, Chris Cormier, and Ronnie Coleman.

He seemed to have peaked in 2001. But, I'd hardly call that terrible.

King 4 POTUS 2024

TheGreatOak · « **Reply #62 on:** March 13, 2021, 11:24:48 PM »

There's a short clip of King, possibly on his treadmill, from back in his prime competitive years, where he says something along the lines of:

"Everybody told me I couldn't do it. That I'd never make it. For everyone who said I couldn't do it... thanks."

If anyone could please let me know where that's from, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

From last week - says he's 260 here - looks like 50lb of it is his head... opinions?

(And not shopped - I promise)

I wonder why he abandoned his triceps?

Tons of minor and major muscle tears. Obvious deformities and damage (scar tissue etc) from site injecting. It appears to me as though the healthy parts of his muscle still responds, it's just that he has so much damage. His back might still be good, and it was his best bodypart when competing. Probably due to injury resistance.

As far as the low hairline, few things make you look more stupid in my opinion and it's just ugly in general. Others obviously disagree.

True - I admire his hairline and his fashion sense...

Fat bloated mess.

If he was 200lbs lean and fit he would get the same level of critique here at Getbig, the place where one never wins.

He did look good for him there,
Though oil in delts & biceps noticeable plus gut already popping out

i commented he might want to move around the lateral and posterior delt shots a little cuz he had a super noticeable knot in the Battle for the Olympia tape i picked up at the Olympia (i remember how stoked i was when my ex surprised me with it on the drive home in 01 lol... now we have youtube lol).. anyways, he banned me on MuscleMayhem for it. lol dude was a little sensitive back then

Entertaining and a pretty good physique in his prime! (Top ten at the MR Olympia one year?) still living the lifestyle (making pet names for his wayyy too young girlfriends and not backing off on supplements) ….what more could you ask for???!!???

Agreed. And don't forget him being a fashion leader

Pop-n-locking bodybuilders has been a joke for so long I forgot they used to do it with no irony
