Zack Khan - Then and Now

[flangmasterj]

Got to give it up for Zack to come back after that horrific injury and bring this incredible package to the pro stage (his pro debut).

[RoroCwalker]

Much respect! He lived up to the hype, didn't disappoint.

Looking forward to his next plans.

[IronMogul]

That's just insane...

[Fairfax]

Congratulations to Zack, he did great. I hope he's inspired by this.

[microspot]

Congrats fantastic comeback future is bright

[LATS1717]

Great comeback from King Kahn!!!

[Ajthemeso]

i don't know much about the guy, but he looked really great especially considering his past injuries! i look forward to his progression!

[red_cat]

Hell of a comeback. I think the real problem with his legs in the PJ pictures was that he was flat. Haven't seen any pics from Finals yet.

[jahaa]

I remember watching that first video blog, crazy how far his come since then. Also his last surgery was just 6 months ago, 3 months offseason 3 months contest prep. Really impressive showing. top 3 conditioned guy on stage.

[sexnews]

Seems like a cool guy.

I know he hasn't competed in 4 years, but will have to work on his posing. Legs were shaking etc.

I am a new ZKK fan!

I completely forgot it was his Debut! The guy nailed it, he really did. His conditioning was great, and his upper body was round and full. Of course his legs were going to be problematic, but for what he went through, I think he did better than anyone expected.

So glad to see Zack came back strong! How did he place??

7th.

[overbulkedguy]

Looked good for sure. I've never seen the guy in shape and was happy to see he can bring some killer conditioning.

[stealth_swimmer]

Agreed. Great showing for him, especially coming off an injury. Really good conditioning while still being super full and round. Could use some more back thickness, but his overall package was really nice. Hope to see him makin gainz for the future.

[ZBlacktt]

That's why I started posting pictures of him in the Dallas thread. No sense in beating a dead horse on matters that will never change. Better off looking at the more positive outcomes.

Zach is one of those guys who looks you in the eye and actually participates in the conversation and is genuinely interested in what you have to say. A lot of other BB'ers do this as well but when I told Zach a lot of us on the BBcom forums were happy to see him healthy, recovered, back to competing and that we truly wish him the best and rooting for him to do great; he put his arm around me and said "Tell your boys I thank you all. You don't know how much it means to me. Thank you so much."

Straight up, he's just a wholesome, good dude.

I got the same vibe when I met him last year at the British GP

[203mh]

Zack's got nothing to be ashamed of... 6 months from having trouble even standing up to playing 7th at a pretty stacked pro show and coming in looking pretty damn good!

To think one poster gave him sh*t for taking so long to compete and even saying "Well so and so competed with this injury"

[RC2008]

Classic reason why setbacks, time lost and negativity should never be looked at as a reason nor as an excuse to quit at something. He came back improved from what he looked like when the hype started and despite what many would consider a career-ending injury (see JPF). ****ing insane.

I mean, there are the other bbers who inspire you because of what they look like. But it takes a different type of bber to keep his sponsor for 3 years with both knees blown to **** and still have the heart to keep going. I try to look for bodybuilders who just have ridiculous heart like this. Guys like Victor Martinez also come to mind. With all his family tragedies, and after being SCREWED all those years ago at the Olympia, still dedicated as ever. Not like some people we know who decided to stop competing because the baby didn't get his bottle.

[IIISpartacusIII]

A very respectable placing considering all he's been through and the long recovery process that was needed. He should stand proud in light of what he's done.

[HOT4_S]

ugh

[flangmasterj]

ugh

We need a little more mate...

[conn1994]

crazy from watching his blog videos about how serious that surgery really was and how he just kept saying , im gonna be on that stage again.
Legs were a tiny bit smaller but no doubt in time he'll have them even bigger

[djcuuna]

when i saw blog 1 zack with both legs up f...... up bad style .i never thought he would walk never mind get to stage and compete .....

[Mallorca Island]

What this guy has gone through and comeback...... so inspiring! what a mentality he has got. Balls 2 the wall.

[Diesel293]

Those traps!

[wolfpilp]

Zack looked great!!congrats

[D-Wade7288]

Awesome for him. After all the criticism he has faced over the years and what he's been through recently, glad to hear he did well ( or at least imo).

[fretslayer]

7th.

Thanks!

Nice Kuclo in 1st and Essa in 2nd, I'm way down with that.
