Bodybuilding is an illusion
the weigh in at the 88 Olympia dispelled a lot of the bullshit weights competiors claim
Mike Quinn 207
Berry De Mey 227
Bob Paris 226
Brian Buchanan 215
Labrada 176
Haney 247
Haney and Demay looked pretty similar in size, certainly not 20lbs difference
Good point. But think one of the reasons bbers look bigger than they weigh is because how they carry their weight. They don't have the big guts and are not carrying the water weight that most do. I remember as a kid watching the strong man competition and one of the strong men, I think it was Bill Kazmier, weighed near the 300 lb range. Lou Ferrigno, weigh about 25 lbs less and despite being taller looked way bigger than Kazmierr.
With Bhanks and, say, Olivia, we are comparing apples and apples where the difference is striking and I think Sergio's size was the real deal and not any illusions or camera angles. Bhanks would look like a marathon runner next to Sergio.
