DOMS · 11-27-2006, 03:06 PM

I need to Photoshop my head on to that body.

largepkg · 11-27-2006, 03:07 PM

Good?

i don't mean to sound like an asshole, but ur upper body looks disproportionatly huge compared to ur lower body. of course i can't really tell because i can't see ur quads...for the photo shoot, they didn't want a shot of ur legs?

min0 lee · 11-27-2006, 04:17 PM

Correct me if I am wrong but didn't he have a bad back

Yes, I actually still do. I achieved that condition without doing any heavy leg or back training for more than 1 and 1/2 years. I also just competed in my first pro bodybuilding event (Nov 4) and placed 7th out of 14 pros.

My back is now going into a final phase of treatment, so I will be able to train legs and back again soon. I will reveal a WHOLE NEW PHYSIQUE on May 5th (my next show).

They just wanted me to wear those shorts. Guess it worked with the lighting. Trust me that although I have not trained my quads for over a year (and are down about 2"), they were still pretty on par with my upper body. I will see if I have a pic from the show I did.

Arms and chest are looking huge! What happened with your back/legs? I assume you have some sort of injury?

XXXcelent work Eric. Do you have some kind of before pic's? I know you've trained for many years but somehow something from when you were a skinny guy might have made it through the years ... maybe the ones mom has. Our mammas always have those pic's we don't want other people to see ... lol.

Thanks buddy. No, I am no longer with VPX. I am part of Team ALRI now. The owner of that company, Author L Rea, and I just released a book called Buidling the Perfect Beast Naturally.

Yes, I turned pro years ago with the ANPPC, but they shut down. I am an NGA and INPA pro now, and just started competing again after 6 years. Just did the NGA Pro Universe to get my "feet wet" again.

BigPapaPump68 · 11-27-2006, 06:42 PM

When will this appear in Iron Man mag?

**CowPimp** · 11-27-2006, 06:46 PM

Badass physique. Your chest is no joke.

Randy · 11-27-2006, 06:50 PM

Dayammmmm Gopro... You animal.

Great job! Keep up the good work.

Oh, and can I photoshop my head on your body as well?

It is a severely herniated disk at L5/S1, which has also caused piriformis syndrome, sciatica, and twisted hips.

I was in bed for 7 straight weeks, and did not train for about 4 months. Now, I can train most of my body reasonably well, with the exception of back and legs, which can only be trained light with isolation movements.

However, next year I will be back full force!

You should write another book chronicling your injury and road to recovery.
