Found out an old mate of mine passed away suddenly last week. His name was Cam.
Cam was a big framed guy who looked awesome in a tank top. Big shoulders and arms, good calves - the sort of guy who just takes up space. A few of us convinced him to enter a local bodybuilding event. He baulked but he looked so impressive in the gym we kept on at him and eventually he warmed to the idea.
Got himself motivated. Trained like a demon. Looked like he got even bigger.
Contest day, Cam hits the stage and we all think "Oh shit...we fucked up."
Have you ever seen 'small' muscles on a large frame? That was Cam. All the wrong insertions. High narrow chest. High lats. Big blocky waist. He even had high insertions on his forearms. Full credit to him for getting in shape - but his shape just wasn't good. He came second last in the novice class, losing to smaller guys with better flow. Beat the fatty in last position.
He was disappointed but was back in the gym the week after.
I'm sad he's gone. He was a good bloke, and training in the gym in his tank top he looked amazing.
Who have you known that you thought should have looked great but was just put together wrong?
