Well, Michael won his pro card recently. Oh, and he's making some progress... Here's what he's looking like today:
Paul Dillette v.2 me thinks. Coming along. His physique is incomprehensible to me. As is his potential.
I think it's about time the hype around Michael gets re-ignited. He sort of went into "hiatus" mode for a period of time (I think around 2+ years. Possibly less time) for whatever reason, but recently resurfaced and won his pro card at the Team Universe with relative ease.
I don't know what this guy's mindset is in terms of his goals, but the potential he has at this stage in his career is undeniable. The room for exponential growth is clearly there.
I wish he'd put himself out there more.. He doesn't even have a social media presence to speak of other than his ******** account that's public.
Also, those who DO remember him will probably know that he is very well known to have a myostatin deficiency or something akin to it (that was tested/proven to some extent.. along with the other tests to determine his "status") and HEAVILY publicised in threads spanning 10s of pages all over the MD forums and countless other forums a few years back. If you're wondering... yeah, he is another one of "those bodybuilders". With "that status that cannot be given to certain people for obvious reasons regardless of whatever the "evidence" suggests, how many will vouche for him, or anything else that lends merit to the argument".
People will also remember that he was known by people in real life to pretty much never diet for shows, was known to have never been seen with an ounce of fat on him for as long as he has been in the scene, nor change in his physical appearance (i.e. he has always been in this shape) whilst eating pretty much how he liked, and being known to not take training nearly as seriously as people expected for someone of his development. These are real life accounts btw.
But, let's keep that bit out of this thread as much as possible and just appreciate that he is a freak.

I heard he got shot in the leg by some of Flex Wheeler's ninjas. It's good to see he's still "living the dream". Does he have a youtube channel where he showcases his physique and tells everyone how that there "Celltech" made him a champion?

I was at National's and he stands out as far as muscle size and shape even at a show of that size. Where he runs into trouble is his legs are not symmetrical, one is much larger than the other. As far as pure muscle he is truly awesome to see.
