Bodybuilding Gossip's "Who is it?"

[Curt James]

Another hint: He has posed together with Kai Greene in the past.

 

[fredlabrute]

It would have been easier for us if you did show him hitting a lat pose!!!
My guess,Art Atwood!

 

[Curt James]

^Not Art.

Atwood competed in 2002 and 2003. This athlete's Olympias were 2003 and 2006.

 

[fredlabrute]

Was he an exotic dancer???

I recall a posing routine that was controversial at the time with Rodney St. Cloud. Maybe it is the lighting in the pic that makes it seem like someone else.

Google says yes.

Correct!

My god i have to admit i had to cheat on this one,Google that is!

 

[Curt James]

^Google is NOT cheating. lol

Use any resource available to solve the puzzles. If I didn't have Google then my "knowledge of bodybuilding history" wouldn't be nearly so impressive. Sites like MuscleMemory.com and VintageMuscleMagazines.com, etc. are wonderful reference tools.

I have my brother dot com

I do remember St. Cloud -- didn't he like, pout onstage because he found out he'd already lost?

heh My brother dot com! Nice.

And all competitors pout to a degree. Some more than others. Toney Freeman showed incredible class by calming down the audience at the NY Pro on May 8. People were booing his 4th at the show, but Toney began to clap to divert the crowd from the natural negativity of that dissatisfaction to the upbeat cheering instead. Great show of sportsmanship on Freeman's part.

But he was clearly dissatisfied with 4th. He was just on PBW stating, something like, "I should have won." There's no way an athlete can say that without it seeming like disrespect to the judges and the other competitors. Even if it's the truth. Other people should say that, not the competitor himself. Or not, "my two cents" applies.

Look at Silvio Samuel. Was it the 2008 Olympia where he placed 7th that Samuel did nothing to hide his disappointment over not being judged higher? Major sour grapes on one of his appearances on stage. I believe that was the one. Pout city.

Craig Titus, known for some acts of poor sportsmanship (and murder), showed some class in these clips:

1994 USA Championships

YouTube Video

1995 USA Championships

YouTube Video

He placed second.

But he came back in 1996 to finally win the USA Championships.

"On August 22, 2008, Titus was sentenced to 21 to 55 years in prison. With time served from the date of capture, Craig Titus is eligible for parole release on December 23, 2026," according to Titus' Wiki page:

Oh yeah!! He and his wife or gf murdered their .... assistant? (Which I thought at the time meant "third for a three-way.")

Incredible that they thought burning the body up inside Kelly's car would steer suspicion away from them!

Some hints Curt!

[Kathybird]

I'd need to see hair pics.

WHY is it women bodybuilders have horrible hair??

 

[Curt James]

Some hints Curt!

She currently lives in Indiana and she earned her Pro card at the NPC USAs.

kenny jones?

Uhh...

I'd need to see hair pics.

WHY is it women bodybuilders have horrible hair??

She has long hair.

You'll never hear me comment negatively on "horrible hair," said the bald man.

I will comment negatively on Photobucket which keeps deleting my images. Son of a...

And I had to drop $100 to have a virus removed from my desktop computer recently. I believe the culprit was the fact that I used "Adult Image Hosting" to post that image in post #200.

 

[Gregzs]

I just realized on one of the other boards one lady uses an avatar similar to that. She's Isabelle Turell.

 

[Curt James]

^You are absolutely correct, Gregzs.



Under the squat rack now, but will post the pic ASAP.

 

[Kathybird]

OMG!! She's got good hair!!!

 

[Curt James]
