I stopped by to see King about 10:30am Montreal time to see if what I was hearing was true. I spoke with Ron and he said King would be noticably down in weight and looking much better. Bob Chic said that King could make changes in one week on PBW earlier in the week. Jim Magnone made the drive up here to help dry King out. At the Europa Prejudging King weighed 257lbs. As of this morning he is 247 and will step on stage around 243. King's had 5 no carb days straight to help bring him down. King was very polite, had no predictions for this show and was very humble. He knows everyone expects him to do better then he did in Dallas.

I didn't believe that someone could change much in a week. I was proven wrong and Jim has helped King come down in size in 6 days. I know, I know everyone will say if the contest was in his hotel room he'd do good and all that. He still has about 15% more to go but one thing is for sure, everyone will see a different King on stage tomorrow then they did in Dallas.

Pics taken 10:30am - Sept. 2nd - 247lbs.

Looking pretty good King, major improvement in a freaking WEEK!

Monster calves...

one positive about King is that he has some of the biggest traps in the sport and a good chest.

Bullshit. If you can't acknowledge a huge positive difference here, you are fucking blind.

he looks "big" there, big chest/shoulders/back, but you can still see the pretuding waist there imo, and he is flexing, he should never have tried to play the size game.
His midsection has a reverse taper $:-\$

Say what you will about the guy but you can't deny the guy has made drastic changes in a week. Only so much one can change in one week and he's definitely proven you can. He doesn't have the "bloated" look he did last week. I saw him there and saw him here and it is a distinct difference.

in all honesty he looks pretty good there with the exception of the small arms and legs from behind but fuck his left arm looks tiny.

True, he still has work to do on the waistline. Also, his bicep insertions will always be a problem area. Calves are weak also, and he could use more knotty detail in his back.

All in all, however, he looks a world apart from last week. He resembles the pro who took the stage in 01. Good on ya, King!

he does look good there, but you can't compare pic's taken in a kitchen/hotel room, to the stage.

gotta say the guys trying hard,a lot of people would have gone into hibernation for a year after what happened last week,whats wrong with his lower back though?is that just structure or is it the same thing that caused his stomach to protrude? im not trying to bash here i actually respect the guys guts for keeping plugging away at it

Alexander Sturm · « **Reply #13 on:** September 02, 2006, 08:35:29 AM »

I don`t like his physique, but the changes in one week are unbelieveable

getfast81 · « **Reply #14 on:** September 02, 2006, 08:35:41 AM »

I never thought in a million years he could change it up THAT quick. Hope he places well and keeps up what he is doing. Whether you like him or not the guy did make many quick improvements whether or not he places well.

Rearden Metal · « **Reply #15 on:** September 02, 2006, 08:36:35 AM »

Got any more pics Lift?

kyomu · « **Reply #16 on:** September 02, 2006, 08:36:46 AM »

More than stomach,
I think his arms are serious problems that he must improve.

Karl Kox · « **Reply #17 on:** September 02, 2006, 08:36:53 AM »

Gotta give him credit for trying, he dose look a little drier but we won't be able to see if he has that gut till he gets on stage

jesusbod · « **Reply #18 on:** September 02, 2006, 08:37:48 AM »

Lets just see if he can stay on track until the actual competition. He does look good in those pics. The competition is where it counts though. You can take all the Pre-contest pics you want. That wont win the contest for you. Dennis James looks awesome all the way to the contest but usually cant dial it in for the most part.. I hope King can do something good for himself. I am glad he hasnt really been on this site for a while. Better to concentrate on the contest prep than worry about what people are saying about him on these boards... I think its better for him to keep his mouth shut...

yes!! his left bicep is completely different to the right one theres more of a "valley" from the bicep to the forearm.is this genetic or has he had a biceps tear in the past?

Lift Studios · « **Reply #21 on:** September 02, 2006, 08:40:42 AM »

That's it for the pics on King today. Since he is significantly lighter in weight you will notice a difference in his stomache come show time. The dude can't change his structure but my point is this; Gotta give him mad props for making the changes his did in 6 days. Let the chips fall as they may come show time.

Peace

again. your comparing an onstage, to pic in a hotel room, from a different angle/lens etc etc.

kyomu · « **Reply #24 on:** September 02, 2006, 08:43:14 AM »

However, I think its silly to judge if he changed his body a lot.
The contest will NOT held in the Hotel room.
