Pesty . . . I know you know who Casey Viator is (you may have even met him) at the age
of 19 in 1971, he won the AAU Mr. America title, the youngest ever to do so. And he
won all the ‘best bodyparts awards’ (when they were giving out such things) except
abdominals, which he easy could have won but they could not give everything to one person.
Sadly Casey is no longer with us, died of a heart attack on September 4, 2013. He was
62 years old, overweight and out of shape. I got to know Casey and spent a fair amount
of time with him (there is a foto somewhere on PM of Casey and I). Young and innocent
come to mind when I think of him.
My point is that while your friend looks good, he has nowhere near the development
that Casey had 19. And I don’t know of anybody who has. My opinion. Plus, I will bet
that he is ‘taking’ 1/10 of what Casey took plus zero oil, plus he looks many years younger,
like an actual teenager, Casey that is.
That being said . . .
I am not raining on your friends parade, am not down on him (I am not like that) but some
perspective is useful at times like these . . . and you are right . . . not a bad placing for a first
show. Much applause on this end. Wishing him all the best moving forward.
