Does anyone know if he's planning on competing anymore? I forgot about him until I saw he was doing an uncensored Q and A on another site(pm me if you want the link). I don't think he got the placings he deserved in a few of the contests he competed in. I definitely expected judges to have him ahead of some people that were in the shows. His structure was pretty good. I liked the classic posing and stomach vac. Ill read through and see if he's planning to compete again. I know he didn't want to do 212 when asked way back. I guess we'll find out more shortly.

I remember him way back being a possible next big thing, but nothing seems to have come of him unfortunately.

He got his pro card in 2008, took 2009 off, and competed a couple of times in 2010 and 2011. Didn't really place well, the best he got was 4th at the 2011 Europa Show of Champions. Took 2012 off. Competed at the 2013 IFBB Wings of Strength but DNP. So he competed recently (a couple of months ago) so I'd assume he is still planning to compete, unless he decided to give up bodybuilding some time this fall.

Hope this helps.

Edit: I should have said he placed lower in 2010, then improved a couple of placings and got 4th and 5th, then dropped to 8th at the end of 2011. With his last DNP, I'd say he hasn't made any progress in moving up the ranks sadly.

Talked to him at the Olympia expo. He said he's taking a break to give his body a rest but that he plans on competing next year. Kinda funny cus I asked him how much he weighed (cus he looked huge as fuark) and he goes "oh, I'm not even training much these days, so I dunno what I'm weighing. I'm taking a break. I feel you have to every once in a while to let your body recover. I'm gonna get back to training next year, then you'll see me walking around at 280" (not sure he meant that literally or as a figure of speech. His frame doesn't look like it could hold that weight, imo)
