It's ok to die really young because it's better to have lived your life to the fullest as a pro-bodybuilder than die old after a productive and full life with useless accomplishments like having a family and stuff.

Not sure if serious..?  I confess that the first time I stood amongst the likes of Thierry Pastel, David Dearth (PIP) and Benaziza (PIP) I was momentarily taken aback by their stature - but only for the shortest time...

Along with thick muscle shredded to '90s standard, for me, the shorter BB simply must have the symmetry.  E.g. I'd pick Padilla over Lee Priest any day - no hating, just prefer the balance that a Danny or Momo had...



I remember Dorian expecting to win his first NoC, and Momo surprised us all by snatching the win from him - talk was of how could his back be even more muscular than Yates!?  :o  Anecdotally, I seem to recall this really spurred Yates on to 'attack the back'!  Ironically I can't find a decent large pic, so I'll just put this here   ;D

He had good placings in 89 90 and 92. In 91 he dropped in placings, if I remember correctly he had really noticable gyno in 91.

Um....It's called being complete and now just big. We should go back to this but they make more money with 1 trillion classes.
