Just heard on HMR (@ 52mins) Anthony Pasquale USA favourite withdraws from comp! Too much pressure?

f*ck... He's one of my favourite amateur bodybuilders. Such a great personality on top of his freaky physique. He'll be back tho.

I think he might be done with competing?

What!! can someone confirm this...Dave, Sally, he was gonna win

**bernard** · 07-23-2013, 01:54 AM

Yup just heard it on the HMR. Dave made it sound like he is retiring from bodybuilding. I wish he would have waited till after the USAs to make any decisions. No one can think clearly before a show. He owed it to himself to follow thru with everything he has worked for!

Yeah... I just found out about this a few hours ago and I'm the marketing director for Species. lol

Good thing I found out, I was putting up a banner on the Species page wishing him good luck at the USAs.

Did he nuke his Facebook page, too? Man, awful news. Wishing Pasquale the best regardless of any competition.

That's how I found out - I was trying to put something up on FB and couldn't tag him.

Why does someone just "Retire" when they are on a meteoric rise to the top of the amateur's?

Health issue is all I can really think of....I don't know what else just turns the switch off for you?

**mackdaddy567** · 07-23-2013, 03:22 AM

This is terrible. It seemed like he could be the next Dorian... I was looking forward to seeing him become a great pro...Would like to hear the reason.

**Steve56** · 07-23-2013, 03:32 AM

Wow.. Shocking to say the least, hopefully everything is ok health wise thats more important then anything.

**hifrommike65** · 07-23-2013, 03:44 AM

He had a good reason, no doubt. Hope all is well with him & his loved ones.

Even when pulling out is performed correctly 4% of USA's will still become pregnant each year. It recommended that this method be used when no other method of contraception is available.

In the interview a few weeks ago on HMR, his whole world was about this show and his quest to turn pro. He was basically training, eating and sleeping. Just from a mental standpoint, bodybuilding can't be your only existence.
