Can someone please tell me why this man didn't place higher in competitions?? I was looking at his stats and he competed at 285 lbs with 24 inch arms. That makes him just as heavie as coleman minus the gut and an inch in height. I really dont understand why his highest placing was 8th at the olympia. The man is soo thick. Am i missing something or is this all just due to politics in this sport.

didn't he place 5th in 2005? the first time they introduced the challenge round i remember... he placed ahead of gunter.
you have to realize that proportion and symmetry is part of judging these guys. his delts are too big (although i am of the notion of "you can never have too big'a delts

).. and his triceps are too small. also, his back is never dry. he won the night of champions back in 99 i think... and if he could've ever pulled that condition he had off at any olympia event, he would've placed higher

too big belly and obvious Synthol use in arms / shoulders

what is funny with him is that when u look pics, his shoulders are the same size or bigger than his head lol

he is a freak, I would pay to be that big though

Can anyone name someone with more muscle? I think he acutally has more muscle than Ronnie even though his aesthetics are not as good,conditioning,etc.. but I really cant think of someone else off the top of my head?
