6ft and same bodyweight
Dude was 245lbs on stage
He had one of the most proportional physiques of the era, including a chiseled slab of abs, and yet at six feet and a lean 245, he had enough mass to hang with Goliaths in the early '90s.
6 Charles Clairmonte
Birth Date: October 27, 1962
Height: 6′
Weight: 248 pounds
Had Charles Clairmonte lived in the United States rather than in England, his name would probably be the stuff of legend rather than a relatively little-known bodybuilder on these shores. Born in Barbados, Clairmonte swept through the European NABBA federation like a tornado through a trailer park, winning everything from the European Championships to the Mr. Universe four times to the World Championships. Then, a year after making the switch to the IFBB, he won four Grand Prix contests in 1993.
It’s next to impossible to find a flaw in the Clairmonte physique.
From wide clavicles to a sliced and diced back, a trim waist and flaring thighs, he had it all with definition to spare.
Some will say, however, that no matter how perfectly proportioned a physique is, for a bodybuilder to be considered world-class, he must have at least one truly outstanding bodypart. Fine. Witness Charles Clairmonte’s biceps. They were astounding. In fact, his biceps/triceps must be ranked among the best ever. And yet, they did not look out of place on one of the all-time most proportionate bodies. Go figure.
