Midget short, XL head, completely out of proportion. Never won anything. Overrated

Dwarfism makes it very difficult to get proportions right. And it looks plain ridiculous next to normal height people

He got a Pro card, so he must have won something.  His aesthetics and proportions are great.

Great classic physique.  He was probably the only man that made Lee Labrada look like a mass monster when standing next to him.

In my opinion he was up there with Zane. He knew what worked for him & didn´t just do the usual exercises but listened to people like Larry scott.

99.9% of it is genes and the training is way distant in importance. Especially the old school guys always made it sound like the physique they had was the exact one they strove for. It's like saying you decided to be a certain height. Columbu saying his high incline presses gave him pecs with a split. It's silly.

Benfatto was awesome. The one improvement that I would’ve liked to have seen.... more size in the calves.

X 2.

Always felt like that about his physique. He had good body parts and was always in great condition. But his short-wide torso and large head threw off his proportions.
