AAP's FLEX Review - Feb 2004 - (details inside - long read)

280 drug free my ass. He is a fool, he has one foot in the grave, and he is talking about doing another show soon. Some people need to let go.

And LMAO at Bob being a player. I can't imagine frog eyes getting any play. Maybe from some butter faces, but that might be giving him too much credit.

When AAP says he knows these people, and what they are really all about, I believe him.

AAP... Troy Alves should have taken 5th in that show... imho. So he is someone to contend with. he was better than Darrem, Kevin, Gunter and a few others ahead of him.

Troy right now is a victim of no marketing. That is his biggest flaw. He is not gaining any good publicity or coverage from Weider, Twinlab, or Muscletech. He can have the best body in the world, but the simple truth is that judges vote for those who they are most familiar with. Troy really has to get his name and body out there. He has to do some articles for the mags, make some kind of endorsement deal and get his picture out there every month. Until then, it doesn't matter.

I do think he has the potential to rise above second tier level that Kamali, Titus, etc... are on.

I like Alves alot better than most of the other newcomers. I also like Quincy Taylor although he's got a long road ahead at 6'4". He needs to be 330 minimum. Last, I like Idrise Ward-el but I don't think he'll put on enough size to ever contend.
I see a big goose egg for Atwood, Martinez, Freeman, Duvall and Anthony.

AAP, you know Roger Stewart? Long-haired Brad Pitt lookalike with muscles....was on a different magazine cover every 30 minutes for a while. For some reason I thought he was mixed in there somewhere.

I'm guessing he's in business for himself.

The simple truth is it's Weider's show..........period.

Or comma,............and then, until people can get over the sheer mass phenomenon........Ronnie will continue to win.

That guy's had huge calves from day 1 and he's got the tiniest waist you'll ever see. I used to see him in Doc's gym in Atlanta sometimes, even though he's not from there. Super nice guy. I actually could use something like. I've debated building one but I don't have anywhere to cut the wood the way I want it done.
