Robert Washington INSANE?!

[PursuitOfShredded]

I knew this guy when I was in college, we worked out together in a group (no, we didn't use the same weight!). This was in his early days and I've seen pics of him in 1999 and 2000 when I think both years he won the Jr. Nationals for Heavyweight and the overall...I thought he looked great then, but his most recent pics on his website, and his aspiration (the link below) IS JUST INSANE!!!

He looks enormous in person. He was a judge at the first show I won in 2000. That's the same year he got his pro card. - cbeaks

It not look insane, for me it is a retouch photo. You will be amazing what kind of think you can do if you know how work with Adobe Photoshop, Photo Paint and other graphic software. Ok, in essence the man look massive and well built, but in that photo the retouch are evident. Long time ago Muscle Mag magazine make some front page in that way, in one of them Frank Zane, that have a good build body, look like three times Sergio Oliva, and of course you know that it is not true. By the way the work do by graphic designer is excelent

no,

I know, I said it was his aspiration...he ASPIRES (wants to) look that way, acknowlegding that he's not yet. Thanks for the comment, though!

Cbeaks, when I knew him he probably was about the size of a college linebacker 225 or so....HE'S A BEAST NOW and wants to get MUCH bigger!

He admits that it is retouched. Under the photo it says "I'm big but I'm not this big...yet"

He looks uncomfortably huge. His back is as wide as a house. I think he is like 39 so I don't know how much bigger he can get. The crazy thing is that even though he is enormous he still hasn't placed well in a pro competition yet. He would probably place better if he were a little more symettrical. That tells you just how huge and proportionate pro bodybuilders are. - cbeaks

I'm no expert,

by far on picking out the differences in bodies, BUT his waist/abdomen looks thick/bloated....ESPECIALLY if you compare his 1999/2000 pics to now.

He was much more proportionate then, IMO. Again, I'm no expert on bodybuilding, but, does his new look suggest too much GH use?

Ok, sorry. I thougth that you say "and is my inspiration" ( I mean I read bad ), my fault.
Anyway, clarify the point I agree with cbeaks in reference to simetrical. He wants to look like a cartoon hero (X-Men, He-man and so on ), of course much of us too, a 30 waist inch an same time a one meter quad diameter, 60 cm arm diameter..... a unrealistic approach....for now

I'm not so sure I agree with what people call the "GH gut". I have been using high dose GH for a year and a half and it hasn't effected my gut in that way. Some people theorize that once you get to a certain size that your gut expands too. It can also be caused by eating huge amounts of food. I know I will get flamed for this. I think Robert Washington needs to focus on getting his waist down instead of putting on extra size at this point. - cbeaks
