[HeavyDutyGuy]

I was going to post these on the Masters section, but hell hes good for any age. probably better than all but the very best pros now. Note some of these are older pics, tried to put the recent ones at the top.

[industrialfreak1984]

How recent are the top 3?

[HeavyDutyGuy]

He is 50 now...

[LATS]

EVEN THE TOP ONES ARE PRETTY OLD.. those were taken during his comeback quite a few years ago... which never really happened.. i think the top ones are at least 6-8 years old..

There's a guy who never reached his full potential. At least as far as contest placings.

he went to the WBF(i think thats what it was called) when vince mcmahon was throwing money at these guys..

when it failed.. he got black balled by the IFBB along with every other guy that went over. (so basically no matter how good he looked the always placed him badly)

they all got fucked....thats why IFBB started making athletes sign contacts. at the time, vince was paying them a lot of money....

^This. Zuccolotto told his contract numbers on a radio show at some point. Impressive numbers.

But I'm flip-flopping on this topic. If you look at Baker's record, he really didn't get ripped off by the IFBB so badly. Someone has to place second, right?

He probably paid a fine of some sort to the IFBB (believe that's what the IFBB required) and returned to competition after his WBF effort.
