Best teen bodybuilder ever

[Big A]

Last few years have been a lot of mention and pics here of 'amazing' looking teens.
This was Ian Harrison in the late '80/early '90s. He became a succesful IFBB Pro in the mid to late '90s.

No teen has ever looked as good as him. Lee priest only looked better than this when he was 20.

Harrison was amazing.

Anyone remember when Paul DeMayo debuted?
He was local to me so it was super impressive. Sad he passed..

Jorge Betancourt was very good.

Chic was good, but not as good as Harrison, or even Priest.

Harrison's combination of size, shape and conditioning seems to give him the edge over the others.

I know the thread says the best teen ever...

Priest and De Mayo were great teen bbers, Harrison the best(unbelievable for his age). Just throwing in Chic, as I really thought he had great shape, aesthetics and flow when he took the Southern States.

Another 2 very well built teens were Mentzer and Boyer Coe.

Love hearing those great names from the past.

That is just nuts. Harrison looks 34yrs old with the maturity of a bb'er who's been training for decades.

Shane Dimora

Shane Dimora I think has the record of youngest to win his weight class at nationals. 18 yrs old as a middleweight and turned pro at the same age I think?

Never saw anything about this guy, but he does look very impressive. Seems to have really good muscle maturity for his age.

James Demelo sp? Was a bad ass teen. He had some of the best calves in the business.

That's Lee in his 20s. I saw him compete in his teens and at 20 and he was not that big.

While these are all great examples of "amazing" looking
teens (especially the video of DeMayo . . . wow!) I think
this young gentleman in this previously unpublished photo
surely ranks among the best teenagers of all time. His
name is Casey Viator and he won the Mr. A years ago as
a teenager. In the minds of many, he never looked better
than when he won this contest, even when he turned
IFBB Pro, though I do think from the photos and films I
have seen of him in preparation of the Mr. Universe in
London (which he lost to Dave Johns, RIP), he looked
his best then.

Casey looks unbeleivable there. i never knew he was that good as a teen.

Dimora turned pro at 19.

Really? Ian Harrison placed highly (top 3) in a lot of shows in the 90s, and competed in the Olympia in '95.
