KING 1 day out PICS!!!

[HERACLES]

He looks fantastic.

Good luck King, and great job.

If he had to get his pro card this year, would he get it?  Honest question.

He looks ok, shit he's way bigger than me and if I saw him at a gym I would be talking up a storm about diet, training, and gear cycles with him, but he just can't compare to some of the top pros today.  I still think he could probably qualify for the Olympia if he came back in his 2001 condition.  At 34, this really shouldn't be a problem since we have guys like Vince Taylor coming in at or near their best at age 50.

[WiseGuy]

There will be no last minute carb loading, or anything remotely close to it...Kings program this last week was right out of old school tech> suffering, depleating, spacing meals out, cardio, etc...
My young Padawan has learned much, from his not too much older Jedi Master World Champ!

gotta give you credit here chick with Kings condition...great job

Kamali is on his way to find out if he can cut it.

IMO, coming down in weight like this was the best thing he's done since looking good in 1994.

Now he should try to get tighter in the offseason, perhaps an offseason 250-260? and look to compete at around 225-230. Only then will he know if he can reverse the P-2.

[nder98]

He must have been running on the treadmill in the solar suit for like 24/7 this week.  Whatever happens, he will have Bob to thank after this one.

Agreed...

[Soul Crusher]

Agreed...

I still hold to my contention that he should pursue the WWE where he could make real money.  He reminds me a lot of the guy on TV called "Chopper" who sells the cars in Las Vegas.

It will be interesting to see who is in the comp. on this one.

I think you mean 180 degrees. 360 would be a circle, ending right back where you started.

[gmflex]

Props to Kamali..
He needs to stop playing the mass game
His body is not built for it....

This is true. my bad.

Worst arms ever for a pro, no forearm muscularity and horrible tris and bis inserting far away from the elbow. Just pathetic.

No detail in shoulders...at all. Are there even three muscle groups in his shoulders? Sure cant tell.

No detail in back, too much space between muscle groups. See ron or any other pro bb for what it looks like to have a thick and full back.

Legs are truly horrible. Seperations are weak in front, without a striation in sight. From the back, WTF!? No calves to mention and hamstrings are totally washed out, "i ride a horse" legs apart posing doesnt help.

If this is "improvement" then he has a long way to go. Looks like the P-ism is destroying anything good that was there to begin with.

Word.

From the front, he looks alot better, in my opinion, but the back?  The calves are GONE!  The hams are GONE!  His back doesn't look thick, but at least he doesn't look watery and bloated.  The thing that gets me is that he goes all the way to 300 pounds and when he diets down this is what is left.  Why go that high?  It makes no sense.  He spent 5 years lifting heavy and eating like an animal and he is still the same size as when he turned pro? 

What happened that in 5 years you can eat like an animal, do all sorts of drugs and GH, and not make any gains at all when all the fat and water is striped away?

WOW..
I bet you would give your nuts to look like him, then you would think you were king kong, no? Its easy to poke fun and bash, but putting it in perspective, the guy looks GREAT, and he did a great job turning it up a notch with his physique for this show.

Stop hating, and start giving some praise...

If I were King, I wouldnt give a shit anyhow with all the negative comments, hell people bash and flame Ronnie, and Jay, the two bes tbodybuilders on the planet...you cant make everyone happy, ever..

Just remember, they are pro bodybuilders, something everyone here aspired to become at some point or another when they first lifted a weight..then realized it aint happening...you know how hard it is, show some respect.

I disagree with you about one aspect of your post.  You said that we all aspired at one point to become a pro-bodybulder.  Most of us are somewhat realistic and realized early on that poverty is not a good option and actually pursuing a career that will earn you a living is more important than pursuing something that not only costs you money, but will not provide for a future other than for maybe the top 1 percent of all pro bb's. 

For me, my thinking is that if I am going to pursue something hard that drains me and takes my all, that I get a reward out of it other than a plastic trophy and a pair of bitch tits.  For 99% of the guys out there, that is all they can expect.

I have had three friends pursue bb over other endeavors and two are now in their late thirties with nothing to fall back on and the third is a court officer. 

Some people like Shawn, Charles Darrem, and Jay are smart in that they treat bb like a business which it should be if that is the career.  However, it is a costly pursuit of windmills for most others who think they are going to make any real $$$ out of it. 

Is it a lot of hard work yes!  Is it demanding yes!  Is it rewarding personally yes!  But a career, a future?  For 99.9% no way!

I cant believe that I 'm saying this but he looks fantastic... Very good move to come down in weight. 

[tommywishbone]

He looks better (than europe), but a competetive pro bodybuilder? In those 1st page/hotel room photos, he looks like a guy doing the light-heavies at the USA or maybe the Nationals. All that money & time...

I think that compared to last week yes.  However, objectively, the answer is still no when you consider the other pros out there.  The calves and hams are non existent.  The tri's  

I give him a lot of credit for even making it to Sunday considering the train wreck that happened last week and that awful gut.  

However, the bar should not be that he looks fantastic so long as he does not look terrible.  That is like when people think GWB gives a great speech only because he puts a sentence together.  The expectations are so low that anything looks good.

I have been arguing that for some time now.  How much money, time, effort, etc, has gone into getting to right now for him?  Its really sad when you think about it.  Whether it was Chad or the overeating, or the drugs, it seems like after five years he is still is in the same place.

You got the message. 

[Soul Crusher]

You got the message. 

Even assuming best case scenrio for him tommorow, he still has serious questions to ask himself.
