Just got back from ATL and the Mr. GA
Went up to ATL this past weekend to see a friend compete at the Mr. Georgia. It's definetly an interesting experience. Neither truely positive or negative, just different. I mean, how often do you walk in a land of giants? haha.. there were some BIG guys there (in the audience and on stage). One of the strangest competators I saw was one that looked like Paul Tootle (i think.. the dad guy from American Chopper). About the only thing different between this guy and him was he was leaner, had a larger moustache and obviously used synthol.
Unfortunetly my friend only placed third. There was one point difference between him and the gent that one. It's not much, but it was enough. The guy that one first in his weight class was 52 years old! I hope to look half as decent at that age.
Of a somewhat side note, Trey Brewer was there in the audience. Last I saw him in 2005 he placed 2nd or 3rd in his weight class at the Mr. GA... then he moved out west, started "training" and now seems to be a full fledged freak. He finally brought his upperbody to par with his legs and let's just say I don't see how he was able to sit in the auditorium seats. He was just that huge. I'd guess he was around 300lbs fairly solid.
Anywho, I've uploaded the pics to http://skywater.dotphoto.com/CPViewAlbum.asp?AID=4658361
