Flex has the shape, but too smooth in that appearance.

May be the lighting, no? They all look a bit smoother than the norm.

It's not unusual for him, though. I've never seen him not like that onstage. And it's not just his back - he shakes and shudders awkwardly through the whole routine. Uncomfortable to even watch, really.

Like seeing an impossibly gorgeous chick, and when she finally opens her mouth, she stutters and stammers with lisps and snorts and drooling spittle, spewing forth the most unattractive pottymouth ignorance a mind can fathom. You forget she's even hot.

If they both just stood there like photographs, though, they'd be perfect.
I don't think he practiced posing that much. And look at how he trained, especially his back. Even Charles Glass had to tell him to slow down. He didn't concentrate on the contraction. Just would pull the weights down.

And his posing was like he never really practiced it...holding the shots. Look at his posing routines, he would just hit shots for a sec, and if he tried to hold it, he would start shaking. No muscle control.

Yes, spot on. Thing is, I don't think the guy ever really earned anything.

From all accounts, he seemed like a lazy, aloof, disinterested dick, who never even attempted to improve his subpar back or pathetic posing. Just a big ol' dummy with great genetics and gear response.

Take away the freakish physique, he's just that same whiny, nothing-special malcontent we see every day, at work, the gym, on the street ... Never meant for greatness, this one.

93 English Grand Prix (their call-out is @ 2:25)



Milos' 141/2" arms never did match the rest of him. Clairmonte wins by a mullet.

Wow, real bodybuilders, imagine that. Clairmonte is one of my favorites. Very underrated.

Clairmonte looked great... His name should be mentioned with the best from the early 90's.

His routine had the 1996 ASC was not that bad for his poor standard, did nail certain poses, so overall first place in my opinion... Regarding being lazy and not meant for greatness, it seems related more to his bodybuilding years, what he did with the WBFF from 2007 to today is amazing though... Certainly he's not stupid neither a dummy, imo...
