flex, nasser, cormier, and Mr. Levrone regularly competed at the arnold and night of champions even though they qualified for the olympiayes shawn only cared about the olympiaE
Shawn was not afraid to diet down until he was super-cut. And he would would usually beat a couple of the top guys, who chased after size, and came in too heavy.
Wasn't Shawns whole thing that he didn't eat any different during prep and offseason. He got cut by training more and increasing intensity.
It's because there is something magical about the human physique. Amazingly captivating on a biological level.
WTF Very cuckish
Yes.There were some pics towards the end of his career that showed that he bulked up a bit in the offseason. But earlier on, I believe that he tended to not bulk up, and remain with striking distance of any potential shows.
"Uncrowned Mr. Olympia"; robbed in 1994 & 1996:
Dorian looked like absolute shit in 94 when relaxed.1994 Mr. O was the first show that began to reward based on mass and conditioning and aesthetics took a back seat. This was the beginning of the end of bodybuilding aesthetics if you compete against Dorian. Absolutely terrible. The beginning of guts and spilled over obliques. He looks like a skinny guy in a barrel with twigs sticking out. Shawn Ray was damn near perfect.
Ray 2nd Place VS Baker 12th Place
is he still exploiting his young daughter?
She's exploiting herself now.
Shawn could have easily added 20 lbs plus but he kept the symmetrical proportions and didn’t blow out his waist. A lot of guys were starting to emerge in the 90s.
Y'all need to stopI disagree. If I remember he came into a contest at 218-19 one year and was waterlogged and proceeded to go back to 212 or so.
He came in at 215lbs and hid conditioning suffered for it then he dropped down to his 205lbs
Thanks for the weight corrections but I remember the conditioning issue when he tried to size up
