Phil at ;87 Collegiates...

Leviathan · Aug 9, 2005

Hey Phil and gang:

Was flipping through some old Flex mags from back in '87 when I came across this pic of Phil at the '87 collegiates. Ron Schweyer went on to win the show, but looks like Phil made a strong showing. Enjoy!

OMG

I was 21 there. Ronny Schweyer was awesome! I took second to him by 1 point. Hw went on to beat flex wheeler a few years after this at the nationals, but never turned pro. Different rules back then. WOW, brings back memories.

I got to reading some of those old articles and all the "scientific training" programs. LOL! Everything was state of the art back then, remember? I really miss those times though, BBing really meant something and it almost magical. Sounds sappy, but I really miss the late 80's and everything going on then. BBing seemed to take a turn once haney left the stage in 91.

ok fawk this, that does it, i quit. Phil if you dont mind a personal question in the open forum (obviously ignore it if you dont wanna answer), how long had you been liftin at that point and how long had you been takin "supps"? Either way, thickness at that age is simply unreal.
