Title: Where does Melvin Anthony rank?
Post by: Wiggs on March 27, 2023, 06:06:22 PM
He never won any Arnolds or Os but he was a fantastic bodybuilder. Definitely one of the best posers of all time, perfect aesthetics. At 5'8 plenty of size without it getting stupid. His downfall? Glutes and ham definition.
Absolutely incredible posing routine!

He’s a fucking imbecile, doing time in prison for selling drugs, haha! Now in his 50’s (he lied about his age) what’s he doing now?

Probably made a ton of money BBing and invested it wisely so he’ll be fine.

He was highly overrated, cocky, and lazy! Can’t get into condition. Seen him lots of times training with Cormier. Shawn tried helping him, Cormier tried too. Guy was just a lost cause

His downfall was his stupidity and laziness

He possessed an outstanding physique and more often than not, knew well how to display it to advantage.

Had a great back and amazing posing routines.

But lazy as per usual.

I forget what md article it was back in the day I think with him n Dexter on the cover where he was bragging about eating twizzlers pre contest and didn’t need to do cardio.

Looks amazing here. A lot tighter in the glutes and hams then Flex ever was. Why does Flex get a pass when he was always soft as fuck from the rear in his legs. I honestly don't get the hype to Flex. He looked soft every show

This is an Arnold winning physique. This is a top Olympian physique and his posing is second to none. He has zero structural flaws. I prefer the real look shoulders like his vs. blown out. Very,very underrated. Incredible back, Incredible abdominal wall. And great legs and calves. If he worked with Hany it would be an all time great physique. Still is imo.

He'd take 1st place by the biggest margin in the history of the contest. 

Can you imagine him next to that misshapen dwarf Hadi, and Nick "the abomination" Walker?

He ranks between 43 and 75, +/- 3% margin of error

Post by: LurkerNoMore on March 28, 2023, 10:19:17 AM
He got by a lot on genetics.  Didn't have the desire to really dial it in, instead coming in about 85% and didn't have the courage to go all out and put on more mass.

Could have been another Darrem Charles if he focused on the smaller shows.

Some bodybuilders get this reputation that they don't train hard. Dillet had that reputation, Flex had it. Vince Taylor. They get labled lazy. I have to believe that those guys actually trained a lot harder than they were given credit for.

I saw Melvin at the 2007 Mr. Olympia expo, and got an autographed picture from him - it was one of his best looks/placings. I asked him "Are you aiming for Top 6?" And he replied "Top 4".

I was very impressed, and I think his confidence was realistic. He was aiming for about as well as he could have hoped to get, and  came pretty close. His best ever placing was 5th, I believe in 2005.

Melvin may not have been massive by IFBB pro standards, but had a great look. Just like when he was on that dating show - he looked great there:
