shawn ray is confident i like that about him, he just needs to watch it not to get out of line with his cockyness

[DroppingPlates]

Excellent bodybuilder, but not a great person.

[Z Father]

Most complete BBer ever. If he was a little bit larger person he would have been unstoppable

I looked at that back segment, many bodybuilders today would kill to have his back.

And his rep speed, no wonder he punished the Pros that worked out with him.

Yeah, I've noticed that before, he trains like a ninja..

How is he any more ' complete ' than anyone else?

His back wasn't that wide it was thick enough for his size and showed awesome detail & separation. He certainly did his homework in the gym 

[Parker]

Yeah, I've noticed that before, he trains like a ninja..

rep speed is fast WITHOUT sacrificing form.
Back, fast. Legs, fast. Arms, fast. Chest, fast. Abs, fast. Shoulders, fast.

He had great lines, he was big and thick (for his stature), he came in shredded, he had no weak bodyparts, great poser, good looking man.

No weak bodyparts? short high calves ( they were developed though unlike Ronnie and Flex ) squared off quads , narrow clavicles

He had a excellent physique but he likes to fluff himself up to be something more than what he was.

Right, developed..same as his quads.  No one ever said he had weak calves because he didn't.  

He was complete from head to toe.  If he was 5'11" it would have been "Dorian Who?"  Think Victor Richards with a good back and shredded.

But he wasn't,  he was 5'7' and slightly pinched in the shoulders. But be still is one of the best ever.

How old are you? Ever read a contest review or any critiques on Shawn? No one ever said he had weak calves? NOT accurate

He was complete from head to toe.  If he was 5'11" it would have been "Dorian Who?"  Think Victor Richards with a good back and shredded.

And if Dorian Yates had a 28" waist and tiny joints it would have been everyone who? We can all play the what if game

But he wasn't,  he was 5'7' and slightly pinched in the shoulders. But be still is one of the best ever.

5'7" is being kind , slightly pinched is the new saying for NARROW? No getting around that and I can name 20 no at least 25 guys ALL eons better than him one of the best ever with just a measly 2 pro wins lol yeah one of the best ever 

Shawn won the Nationals at 196lbs and in excellent condition , the rub on his was he never really improved his best he was 205lbs a whopping 9lbs of muscle he added in his entire career , although he did try and compete at 215lbs and his conditioning was off.

[NarcissisticDeity]

seven years and 9lbs later lol He looked fantastic but always looked the same BTW a true professional who came in spot-on 99% of the time

Yeah, I guess you missed the part where I said "if he was 5'11"...followed by "but he's NOT"...relax,  Dorian still loves you.

You mentioned Dorian I didn't 

Shawn excellent bodybuilder but NO WHERE near being one of the best ever guy won 2 pro shows in 12 years that sucks

Yes, because in my opinion...if Shawn wasn't a shrimp he would have beaten him...a 5'11' Shawn is inhuman.

Just an opinion being proffered,  no need to have an aneurysm for 10 pages.

This sport is the sport of the genetic elites and height is part of it , Shawn just wasn't lucky genetically and if Shawn were 5'11" his blatant narrowness would be even more evident , so now not only are we stretching Shawn up we have to  widen his clavicles , while we're at it lets lower his claves too , we have to change his whole physique , hey wait I thought you said he was the most complete ever? 


Awesome physique though , he did well for the cards he was dealt

Change his whole physique 

No...just taller. He wasn't horribly narrow and nobody is structurally  perfect.  Not even Dorian.

[NarcissisticDeity]

He was narrow NO escaping that and if he were taller it would be more evident

And Dorian wasn't perfect but Steve Reeves was structurally perfect

[che]

Steve Reeves was structurally perfect

 

[NarcissisticDeity]

Structure wise? perfect ! clavicles two feet across , 29" waist at 6'1" arms , neck and calves all the exact same size , narrow hips , small joints , the only one who came close was Paris

[che]

Haha

[Z Father]

He was narrow NO escaping that and if he were taller it would be more evident

And Dorian wasn't perfect but Steve Reeves was structurally perfect

No it wouldn't,  he would be a larger version of himself... same build only bigger.
