Seems like it; NOT working with Chad Nicholls paid off big time in the long run for him :D
-
absolutely
using your mother as a runner is the sign of a genius
-
Shawn retired at 35 while he was still on top, knew that he could never win the O, he still had his health intact.
Meanwhile , how many are dead or have health issues? Even Levrone at 60 can’t put it down, Ronnie in a wheel chair, and flex most likely will expire soon
-
Seems like Shawn and Dorian are the
Most sane and least amount of health problems from that era Arron baker looks healthy as well
-
Lee Labrada, Lee Haney, Jay Cutler would probably be my picks above Shawn. I respect his work and physique in his day, but as far as smartest... plenty got out, did well and seem OK, these days. Even Dorian, with all his injuries, manages to live a life of sorts with his drug experiments and yoga, I suppose

That's definitely a black eye on a pretty good career. Personally, I'd never let my mother do time for me. i'd just have to use a lock and sock on bitches like Chaos on the cell block.
-
Shawn's one of the only pros to successfully quit roids (guys who quit due to health issues don't count).
He shouldn't have gotten that fat though.
-
I would say it’s a flip coin between Shawn and Ronny Rockel
-
Smartest top level pro ever is Arnold. Then, at a huge distance, all the others.
(But Sean did well. He's articulate, and seems healthy and well off).
-
One of the very best bodybuilders that ever lived IMO....and smart enough to get out early enough to retain his health.
-

Valid point. Arnold is numero uno. Shawn may be more articulate in conveying his thoughts. But it is what it is
-
Just ask him
-
Smart how? Because he isn't crippled?
-
if shawn where in his prime now he would win the 212 many years in a row then go to classic and show that canadian cuck bumsted what a real body builder is supposed to look like.

hi shawn
-
I suppose the 3 criteria for this question are -
1) How far did he place in actual bodybuilding?
2) How far did he get outside of bodybuilding?
3) If you sat him down, how smart does he actually seem?
I think he be A-, B+ range. I saw Labrada mentioned, he'd be in the A range for me. Really solid bodybuilding record without serious problems later on in life. Very solid business acumen, etc.....

Labrada can’t be that smart, look at his son hunter, following his footsteps but looks 10x worse and all drugs. Health issues on the way if not already hit him
John brown, his mentor is another smart one, all three of his kids are successful and not one in bbing
Amon St Brown, his son is one of the best receivers in the NFL, and one of the highest paid, playing a real sport
-

Lee should have convinced him to do something else, he knew what risks you take with your health being a pro and you should want better for your kids.
Looking at Hunters face he looks like a stage 4 cancer patient bloated with chemo..

great points hunter is a moron and looks like shit , in fact alot of the you tube channels try to hype him up so they can get a labrada nutrition sponsorship nicks strength and power is a prime example of this, when labrada was a paid sponsor on his channel nick "the closet schmo" would go on and on about how geat hunter is. this kid has never had a job in his life his whole life since he was a teenager has been sticking needels in his ass and having his daddy foot his bills.
i alaways liked shawn for telling it how it is. wheter if you you agree with everything he says or not. he always spoke his mind i could be wrong but i think he got his pro card when he was 20 one of the youngest ever to get one.

what else could hunter do . all he does is play video games and do drugs and his daddy pays his bills.

I would say it’s a flip coin between Shawn and Ronny Rockel
Rockell really? I had some vague understanding that he was seen as someone particularly reckless? I mean he did become diabetic and there was the understanding it was bc of the drugs. Do you know him?
-
Depends on what is meant by smartest. Zane has a master's degree and has made it to 82.
-
Do you think the smart bodybuilders steer their kids towards other things not just due to health issues but because it's so sleazy. Maybe even more so.
-

Affeman started earlier topic about Ronny so I was just try to poke him .But in all seriousness when it comes to health I would say Mike Ashley .
He looks very healthy and no one ever caught him lying about AS.

I have not seen current pics ,but I do agree he is well spoken fella.
IMO most underrated BB.
Aaron officially coming out as gay and brief stint with WBF hurt him really bad in IFBB placings.

Met Vince Taylor twice when I lived in Florida....chatted him up..........a genuinely great guy.

If Shawn competed to day he would be Mensa level smart compared to the maroons of today's bodybuilding champions. And outside of a stacked with pimple sucking schmoes for judges he would win the O with ease.
Pimple pigs...all of these buttmonkeys of today. And very stupid to boot.

Shawn doesnt have the commitment of todays pros to weigh every single meal to the gram and to do it seperatly every single time with a set of scales.
;D
Fucks sake the pros today mixing chicken rice bananas and almond butter putting one ingredient in the bowl, weighing it and then zeroing the scales for the next ingredient
Fucks sake , just use the same size bowl each time, after you have weighed it once you dont have to do it again

I’ve met tons of pros ,but never got a chance to meet Vince. Heard from others the same he is very nice and friendly.

Hard to name the best posing routine ,so many to choose from:
Kai -/Dirty Diana /,Melvin Anthony ,Ed Corney,Lee Labrada,Charles Dareem,Benfatto,Wolf was pretty decent .Even monster like Yates did put effort into the routine.Today’s twats just ear cupping and walking left to right . Branch competed about 20 years and I’ve never seen him doing different song and routine , always posed on Kid Rock slapping thighs lol.

Speaking of Vince Taylor, I remember reading this old thread about his drug use 12 years ago. Crazy stuff if true. Good times.
8,4g per week + 18 i.u. of growth ed.
https://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?PHPSESSID=d13a11c608baa9ac654a965e84001110&topic=421789.0
This guy competed in the 80's and 90's on the national level, never got a pro card. He did the Nationals and USA's a combined 12 times, and was around a lot of the pro's back then. He told me he was friends with Vince in the mid 90's and that the guy relied on his genetics and drugs for everything, basically another Paul Dillet. Always trained consistently, but never pushed himself that hard or followed much of a diet. He said he was around Vince for his prep for one of the Arnolds and that he basically ate 3 times a day. For breakfast he'd have eggs and bacon, then do his morning workout, then eat a burger and drink regular coke, go back and train later, then another meal and at night he'd have scotch or rum if he felt like it. Said Vince trained twice a day and 6 days a week. 12-15 sets per bodypart, moderate reps never going to failure. Then he told me about drugs and said that this was one area vince was completely anal about. Never missed a shot ever and always did it the same time everyday. Loved shooting his arms and calves the most. He said the guy loved parabolan, anadrol, gh... I don't know what his whole cycle looked like but here's the numbers he was telling me that vince was running a month out
Sustanon 1250mg Per Week
Test Prop 1000mg Per Week
EQ 1800mg Per Week
Parabolan 228mg ED
Masteron 200mg ED
Anadrol 200mg ED
T3/Clen/Ephedrine(didn't mention doses just the use of them)
GH 18iu ED
Said after this point he'd start lowering his test big time and bring his mast and para dosages up. I asked him about synthol because i've heard ppl accuse Vince of it before, but he said no synthol just site injects. Never went crazy with diuretics but always used them.
