PIP Craig Licker

Never heard of him but he turned "pro" in 1994, and 21 years later he competed professionally in 2015? Well, perhaps he was in jail in the intervening years

I met him when I was in Venice, California. He kept trying to sell pics of himself for 20 bucks and was clearly strung out on something

Licker lent Craig Titus money and received a punch to the face when trying to collect at Gold's gym. I remember reading that in one of the muscle mags. Too small to be a competitive pro, but achieved a pro card which actually meant something back then. PIP

Damn, 21 years of nothingness.  Longest prep ever.

He had a little success in the 90's, he was a photo model for stock shots (pics of muscles, exercises, etc.....). He occasionally got smaller booth work after that. He got bigger to be competitive later on. Never struck me as a guy too comfortable with being big.

thoughts with his sister fanny at this time.

I may be confusing him with another bodybuilding but I vaguely recall his father died from a bench press accident when Licker was young

Yes, I think that's correct. I remember Licker saying it left him with a bad taste in his mouth.

[Never1AShow]

PIP wonder the cause.

What's up with his lower teeth above?

I think its his tongue

PIP wonder the cause.

What's up with his lower teeth above?

Probably the clot shot.

I watched him compete once or twice.  Well balanced.  The sport has lost a few smaller competitors at younger ages like Vinnie Comerford and the guy that MW that had the dental procedure that went wrong and got a blood infection that went to his heart?  Forget that guys name, but he was better than Licker.

Dearth?

Speaking of Comerford, some great footage of him here at 1990 Iron Man. Another gone way too young (52).

Did Licker's ticker cause his death?
