I think he looked good here. Years ago, there was a start up magazine called Pump owned by SoCal Sport Supplements -
https://www.getbig.com/magazine/pump/pump.htm? . It was positioning itself to try and be a MM2K / (Hardcore) Ironman clone. One of the ideas they were toying with was a "Return of Dan Duchaine" thing where he got himself into shape. He was interested for a brief while, and said he got up to around #220 at 8-10% bf for it.
Then Pump had money trouble, Duchaine had health and personal problems, and everyone important lost interest. 1998-2001 was an interesting time in some corners of bodybuilding. Old firms like Weider, Twinlab, etc... were winding down some. Start ups like T-Mag, various pro-hormone concerns, etc.... were starting to blossom, and everyone was on edge with each other.
