His biceps have that big, round, fullness these days.

No real separation though.  Very odd.

ugly ink.  looks like just random lines drawn on his arms.  And 240, are you saying his arms have an "oily" appearance?

His arms look like any other lifters, minus the tats...The tats are one of the reasons why he will never be on stage again...the other of course is very obvious.

Never been too bright. Even if he gets his arms defined again, you won't be able to tell cause of the Ink. Strange choices people make.

Getting inked is no 'stranger' than bodybuilding.  Just because people have interests and priorities which differ from yours doesn't make them strange or illegitimate.  His competition years are obviously long behind him so he has no need to worry about impressing fans and judges from a stage.

Plenty of scar tissue and undissolved oil remains, giving his arms an extra two inches or so. As anyone who observes lifters would notice, there is always a direct correlation between forearm size and upper arm size. I don't see anyone else walking around with 19 inch biceps and 10 inch forearms.

He may not compete, but he is working for a supplement company(EFX) and being promoted as "The Natural Freak", so he is still making a living off his physique. My point is the Tats do nothing to enhance his body. I don't have a problem with tattoos, but if you're making a living still, off your body, it doesn't make sense to have ones that obscure your muscularity.

He had had them for at least 2-3 years.....you think the arms are tattooed, you should see the shit on his back (same design)...........

Still waiting for that guy to show what he looks like nowadays under the shirt like he promised to do at the Olympia.

Tats are just menopausic guy thinkin he's still down with the kids. Lack of forearms are genetics, not results of oil  ::)

interesting observation about the bicep to forearm ratio

If you look at his right arm, not the arm on the right, but his right arm, you'll see the deformity. It could be a weird picture or it could be oil... it could be an old injury...  I could only speculate so I won't.

I agree with this statement.  If he was green he would look like shrek.  Too much GH and it all grows.........

What a funny shirt for him to wear.  All oil and drugs.  Look at his forearms compared to his biceps, all oil.  That's why he's able to maintain big arms "naturally".

Correct.

Bottom line: that mess of tattoos does nothing to help him, professional-wise.

He will one day be full of regret, IMO, when he wishes he no longer sports the ink.

He got the tats about 6 months or so after retirement- kind of sad punctuation on the physique that was once one of the greatest of all time.  Tats are fine, but ugly tats are just pathetic.

it is psycological thing the tatoo,,
see let me explain something to you,,as a bodybuilder the moment you reduce hormone intake and start doing work out for fun and stop putting all your life in bodybuilding.....there is mental stage that gets to you ,,it gets to everybodybuilder,,and every one respond to it differently ....some walk around wearing 2 shirts alwayts ,,one cotton white shirt and on top of it another shirt..to hide the shrinkage to some degree..ofcourse it doesnt help .....some tatoo their body  to hide the shrinkage and replace it with another attention seeking phenomenon....the guys who do it are usually guys who have constant need for attention ,,NOT EVERY BODYBUILDER has this problem but ken lee and many more has this problem because they were never big to begin with..they were small guys small joints ,,small frames...they were small as simple as that what made them big is the hormones

Hmm. That's wordy. I just thought the tats were a way of 'masking' his oil bags which, in turn, 'mask' his insecurities about getting smaller, insignificant.

You're right. When I was in Macy's the other day, they had a section for Ex-Professional bodybuilders, and they had some real high quality cotton white shirts with specific instructions on how to wear another shirt over it. GH15..you're a genius!
