Pros with the most waisted potential

[203mh]

This. I heard he would go out drinking and clubing right up to contests like no fuks given. he would even got on stage hung over etc

Yup. Heard a few stories while everyone would be in their rooms he'd be at the club

Being hungover is hellish..from what I'm told being in contest shape is hellish..Cormier must seriously hate himself to have combined those two.

Surprised no one has mentioned this guy yet...

wheeley also says he could of won the Mr O if he had been more serious but i dont think he could of beaten ronnie
he ruined his physique with oil trying 2 play the mass game if he could of done it without he would of

Each of the highlighted words should have been the word 'have'. Every day's a schoolday. Learn your lesson so you don't look like a thick fuk in future.

OP I always feel bad for paul dillett. He obviously tried so hard, but never really got it all together. He was colossal, but never nailed anything and had that odd posing style where when he did certain poses, he looked narrower than if he was just standing there, being colossally massive.

Cormier was one of the greatest, the fact that he is being mention just shows he could have stole an Olympia with the right attitude. The guy trained like a beast but he also was a party animal. I would have to give the greatest wasted potential award to none other than Lou Ferrigno (spelling ?) He was 6"4 275 at age 24 and the title would have been dumped in his lap after one more year of hard work after Arnold retired. The guy could have challenged Haney's record had he stuck with it. LOL the entire sport may have been slightly different had he stuck with it.


EDIT. He retired at 24 and came back at 40.........he could've been one of the greatest names in the sport.

Ignoring his 4 Olympia titles, I get the impression that Phil Heath could really improve.

I wonder if he is knocking on the door of his genetic potential or whether he's gone backwards rather than forwards over the past 3 or so years.

I get the impression that he doesn't work as hard as a number of pros and wonder what he would look like if he did. That said, he may workout a lot harder in private than he does on the youtube videos.

Also, a lot of people say his frame couldn't support more mass, though I think he could do with some bigger lets and better abs.

Wouldn't say a 4x Mr. O is 'wasted potential'.
Phil does something with everyone does not which to me qualifies him to be the most hard working/well prepared IFBB's pro's out there. He gets in perfect condition every time (bar 2014, although he was still the best conditioned on stage).

I can only imagine.

There was a story posted that Chris himself told in an interview in here a while back where he went into detail about a night out of intense partying with Craig Titus. Pretty sure it was the night before an Arnold Classic. Those dudes went full tilt and still showed up in shape the next day. Pretty sure Chris wound up in 2nd or 3rd, despite being out almost all night and ingesting all kinds of booze and "stims" Was a great read.
