Post by: eh2442 on June 25, 2007, 08:46:18 PM
I heard he was obese before he got into bodybuilding. how fat was he?
you would think his skin would never get tight enough for a show. Does gh
really tighten the skin that much?

He was a trucker, and/or owned a trucking business. Ever seen a ripped trucker? :D

A picture of him at age 28 was shown in FLEX once.  Looked more skinny fat than anything.

As callous as it may sound..........Don was an example of someone who shouldn't have messed with drugs.....but did so against better judgement.

Well let's think...Don had undergone angioplasty, was diabetic, and had a sleep apnea, and STILL planned a comeback for 2006.  Yeah...that's writing on the wall alright.

That's definitely on a case per case basis. Last year I saw a 56 year old guy win a master's division and I swear by looking at him you'd have put him in his mid to late 20s, both physically and facially.

Heh, most of the time it's the other way around... you get people saying that Branch Warren looks like he's in his late sixties.
