Thanks for posting these.... Wow Mark has build some massive arms and his hams are oustanding; not that the rest should go unnoted as well.

I remember him having a tiny waist. Obliques seem to have grown quite a bit. Lookin awesome everywhere else though. Met him at the USA last year, really nice guy

Awesome physique. I remember seeing him in musclemag back in the mid to late 90's, then he disappeared before re-emerging a couple years ago.

Makes me want to go crawl back into a hole now.

It makes some people want to crawl back into a hole, while for others it makes them want to step it up a notch in the gym, at the dinner table, etc.

Most impressive to me is that he badly tore his quad on a heavy hack squat some years back (complete patella tendon tear, the works if i remember right) and then after having it repaired, some months later, fell somewhere and completely tore it again.....and he has made it all the way back---thats damn impressive and some fortitude.

WOW....that is a great story and his physique is a testament to his foritude for sure....Good luck to him.

What class is he doing surely the HW's, I know he has been a LHW in the past. Good lord he is gonna do well!

 

[km2000]

ya what class is he doing?

that is a thickly muscled man right there! i am very impressed!
especially with the muscle tear to the quad, you really cant tell a difference looking at the two.... his physique speaks loudly about his will to overcome obstacles.....

KM...he's been a light-heavy the past couple years.

Here's some pics from last years USA's. With better conditioning he'd be tough to beat.
