Cordova's just a genetic freak. Not to say he isn't highly intelligent in his training, nor that he doesn't bust his ass (he's also a hell of a humble, soft spoken, and friendly person), but the small joints and huge muscle bellies, specifically his pecs and biceps totally bely the fact that he competes as a middleweight.

Brian Whitacre is also one of my favorites. The conditioning he achieves should be the standard of all competitors, natty or not.

I'm not familiar with the women that compete as Natural - if possible I'd appreciate if any of you could post photos of the Top Female competitors as well.

Thanks so much!

Tim Martin at the 2007 WNBF pro American...his TU pics aren't that good of quality.

Not sure which contest...but he's a welter weight believe it or not!

Layne Norton. He may not be the best right now, and is far from being a genetic freak of any sort. But this guy managed to transform his very average body through sheer hard work and consistency in his training, diet and supplementation.
He also busted hi arse getting a formal education and "unlocked" his potential through knowledge, not drugs.
