Let’s call this photo part 2 from my last post. Sharing the stage with my teenage idol Robby Robinson at the 92 NOTC. I was 212 in this photo and bodybuilding was about to change drastically. It’s now about size at all cost.#ifbbpro#enigma#oldschoolbodybuilding#hitandruntraining#highintensitytraining#realbodybuilding

I’m going to make a long story short. In 1975 at the age of 15 I saw a photo of Robby Robinson who had just won the IFBB Mr America. Shortly after seeing that photo I told everyone who would listen that I’m going to look like this.😂 of course everyone had a good laugh. I don’t blame them. By 1985 10 years after making that bizarre statement I had already won the  84 NPC Mr USA Champions overall . And was predicted to become the 85 NPC National Champion. That’s 10 years of agonizing training. Let’s fast forward to 1992 where I’m standing onstage with my teenage idol Robby. From the first time I saw him and wanted to be like him was a 17 year journey. I try to tell the younger ones today it can take years . Even decades to become world class. In this day and age every ones looking for short cuts. 🤔 there aren’t any.#enigma#hitandruntraining#usachampionshipsoverall#npcnationalchamionshipsoverall#highintensitytraining#ifbbpro#80s#90s@sassy_nans

Comebacks are never easy. The 90s was the decade of SIZE.  I tried to play the Size game as best I could. I’m 212 in this photo 12 pounds over my best conditioning in 88 .At the End of the day I realized Bigger ain’t better. It’s quality. Size, Shape. Conditioning and aesthetics . I’m 31 in this photo that’s still considered young in this sport. After this competition I would give it my best one more time in 96 where I was 4 pounds heavier. That’s only 1 pound per Year This was the beginning of the end.  #enigma#ifbbpro#hitandruntraining#90s#80s@sassy _nans

This photo was taken in 96. I was 35 at the time. How do I know 🤔 because of the long hair which I started growing after 1992. Size was what the judges wanted I was told. So I decided to give bodybuilding guru Mr Nichols a call and ask him what do I need to do to step it up and catch up? He basically said you need to introduce GH, Insulin, IGF 1 etc etc, I asked ok at what cost $$$? At the end of our conversation I realized I didn’t have the finances or the resources so I went back to doing what I’ve always done. I’m 216 in this photo I’m not nearly as conditioned as I was in the 80s but I’m 16 pounds heavier. That’s a tremendous amount of muscle. 🤔 but at the end of the day more wasn’t better. #ifbbpro#enigma#hitandruntraining#highintensitytraining#goldsgymvenice#80s#90s#npc#usachampionoverall#nationalchampionoverall@sassy_nans@3rdposterever

TBT When I first saw a striated lower back it was Samir Bannouts. I thought WTF😳. It was the 82 and 83 Olympia. After seeing that I trained my lower back using exercises like deadlifts, Reverse hypers, a good morning lower back extension, Romanian deadlifts and hyper extensions. This was the results. 🤔 looks more alien 👽 to me than a Christmas tree 🎄. Photo taken at the 85 NPC Nationals. #enigma#80s#oldschoolbodybuilding#size#shape#definition#separation#detail#goldsgymvenice#sassy_nans#highintensitytraining#hitandrun

Repost. This photo was put together by my bro @3rdpostever ( Pablo Sanchez) thanks for putting this together I appreciate it. Photo to the left is from the Ifbb Chicago Pro, on the right taken from the NPC Nationals hard to believe these photos are over 30 years ago. #ifbbpro#npcnationalchampion#80s#oldschoolbodybuilding#enigma#sassy_nans#3rdposterever
