John did very well, for info pointers, John is 5,5", and went in at just over 10 stone, his main problem was he was entering the amateurs (beginners, whatever category its called) so went in heavy instead of ripped and ended up against guys a good few kilos heavier.
I was present for the debrief with the judges, he would have placed second if he had gone in ripped.
And with some more leg work would have been challenging for first, hence the invite to the worlds.
To reinforce you guys, the winner was fanastic, he had a lot more confidence on stage, and legs that were frankly superhuman, he deservedly took the silverware for the whole show.
Id like to extend a hand to Mr Berry for doing so well in his first ever outing as a body builder.
I just wanted to clear up the one point, i was in no way sceptical with regard to these 'natural' body builders, when you see a 5'5 12 stone guy benching nearly 180 k without gear its quite impressive, and the effort they put in is far and above any level of self discipline i could hope to achieve. |
