Bear in mind a few things:
1. This was a local amateur contest. The majority of contestants don't "look good" compared to IFBB pros.
2. Goodrum is relatively lean and muscular in these pictures.
3. A local amateur contest is a starting point. A place to make posing, dieting and preparation mistakes and learn from them.
4. Goodrum would appear above average and athletic in this condition, in street clothes, in public. Which is more than can be said for his detractors, chief of which, Basile, appears fat, doughey and covered in body hair in his most recent pictures.
5. Let's ease up on Goodrum and commend him for signing up for a contest, following through and showing up. Ask yourself: could you show up at a contest and compete?
I probably won't sign up for an amateur bodybuilding or fitness contest. Although, I might just win first place, if they have a class for men over 70 years old and I shaved my hairy body.
