With this past weekend's 4th place finish, losing to guys that he has beat before. Is this the beginning of the end of Charles?

Darrem will be back. while it was not a good result for him he is one of the few guys who can get really shredded.

Just a bad day at the office ! One of the best professionals - it is more like a great accomplishiment for the people who placed ahead of him and increases the value of this devalued sport- the athletes brought more focus and interest in a " small" show and it was appreciated. Thank you and see you soon D

I'd say for a guy as consistent as he is it leaves one wondering.

The show was small but the competition was good - Taylor and Freeman just brought it and when the size fact came into play - Darrem just had a hard day at the office . nothing to worry about !

Also, this was Darrem's 4th contest this year. Trying to peak 4 times in 6 months has got to be rough. Plus, he's doing the Montreal. Can't win them all.

just didnt dial it in as he has done before, he got 4th, not 11th like someone else.

Not at all. He just entered a show where all the other guys were big and he was the odd man out. The judges were looking for apples and that night he was an orange. Darrem is getting better with age.

I honestly thought he would take that Europa show with ease.

Darrem needs one year off to bulk up 10lbs at least or no future.
He needs to surprise judge with changing his look.
Plus he looks tired to keep his condition full and shredded.

Is he doing the Olympia?

JaggyShortBuff · « **Reply #13 on:** August 30, 2006, 11:15:14 AM »

He is still one of the best in the business and will stay that way because judges are going more towards quality and not quantity of mass....

If he's doing the Olympia he's dead on. Watch what he looks like in a month. Everybody calm down!

I thought he would take the show as well, Darrem usually wins a bunch of the smaller shows but given Heath making his debuts and Freeman looking great maybe throwing in him the #1 spot isn't as sure a thing as it used to be.

fathead · « **Reply #21 on:** August 30, 2006, 12:10:23 PM »

I think the judges just thought he was getting a little greedy (he's qualified like 3 times over)and they gave the other guys a nod.

hahahaha 42" vertical leap? hahahaha did Quinn measure it at Golds?

More like 4" or 2", depending on what the fatass engulfed that day?
