Maybe the best pic I've ever seen of him. If he looks this good come show time he will frustrate all those "King-haters."

Whose been training him??

Great job Magnum and King. Looks like he can finally compete with the Big Boys. Much Respect!

What happened?

Magnum, I was hoping you could shed some light on what happened to King at the M. Pro. First let me say I'm not a hater, in fact I'm the opposite. I have met King many times because one of my good friends has known him for years. I have met only a handful of people who love the sport like King. That being said he looked way off at the show. His waist looked very big and his skin looked to be very thick based on the pics. Did something go wrong with his prep or is his body not changing the way it should?

Once again I want this post to stay positive because I'm not hating on King or your ability as a trainer I'm just curious why he can't get back to the physique that turned him pro and helped him have such a successful rookie year? Hell I've seen video of King all the way back from when he won the c. nationals in 94 and the guy always came in shredded to the bone. Anyhow I'm just wondering if you would be willing to share the events leading up to the show and where you think things went wrong. Thanks-D

He was certainly big but surprisingly smooth

**broken link removed**

Perhaps he was attempting to go in the other direction since the smaller version didn't do so well.

Hey Dusty, I take no offense at all to your question. We tried something different the last few days. I will be honest and say that I was not 100% for it, but King wanted to come in big and full and he was. I can tell you that he was very lean and yes it did not look like it from some of the pics, but if you look close you can see some good detail in his physique and even in his glutes. Funny thing is he hand some detail in his physique that I had never seen before in the days leading up to the show. King weighed in at roughly 266 and if I would have done my normal dryout he would still would have come in at around 257 still a good 20 pounds up from the NY show in May were he came in at 237.. Because of prior obligations he will not be competing in AC so we will not have the chance to see what may have happened.
