Most of you are already familiar with this guy. This is a new interview from Jan, 2006:

i know this guy is my idol

he is exactly what i want to be
a good looking powerlifter with huge numbers

**jkeithc82** · 01-23-2006, 01:13 PM

Although sickly a bit, he still looked pretty good at 180 lbs. Now he doesn't have that Abercrombie model look though

**skelooth** · 01-23-2006, 01:22 PM

dogcrapp himself had made a recommendation on how to get big that is very similar like that. A long time ago DC wrote something along the lines of "So you wanna be big? You have to eat and lift your way into a scary looking 320lbs monster and never doing anything that might sacrifice your muscle along the way. Then you cut the fat of nice and slow"

but yeah, this guy's physique is incredible now. Aesthetically though he's always looked good, even at 300lbs.

was it just me or did he admit to taking roids in this interview

I quote " Matt: I know you are believer with combining an anabolic (even an over-the-counter prohormone) with a fat burner/metabolic-increaser (ephedrine, clen, etc.) during dieting. How helpful have you found this combination when it’s coupled with clean eating and hard training?

Dave: If you are dieting very hard and training hard, it’s obviously going to be advantageous to take something to help preserve your lean body mass. Anything from a natural testosterone booster, to andro to an anabolic will help. If you want to look like an IFBB pro you are going to have to cross over to the darkside. If you want to be 180lbs and ripped you can probably do it without taking anything at all. If you want to be somewhere in between you may be able to do it with just over the counter supplements. It’s up to the individual to determine what their goals are and what they are willing to do to get there. I have found dieting while taking some sort of anabolic to be extremely helpful with maintaining lean body mass. I would say it’s of more benefit to use these substances while dieting very hard than while trying to gain weight. "

Yep... whatever he used... it takes absolutely nothing away from his amazing transition in my opinion... notice the lack of GH gut... I could go on and on...

**skelooth** · 01-23-2006, 02:28 PM

yup, steroids are not magic. They help, but they are still just supplements.

**jkeithc82** · 01-23-2006, 02:35 PM

There are many many people who use steroids that don't come close to looking like that.

**skelooth** · 01-23-2006, 02:42 PM

yeah. He's a freakin monster. His back is insane.

It looks like he went from an ecto to and endo to a meso, but in all reality he's just a meso who's been serious about his training for a long ass time. But look at the evolution of his face.

**bigDman** · 01-23-2006, 02:45 PM

yes the use of steriods takes nothing away from his acomplishment the guy looks amazing and has so heavy lifts

**Trick D** · 01-23-2006, 07:40 PM

Damn he had some ugly muscles at 180... I mean he was buff, don't get me wrong, but wow... he is a freaking beast now... I am very impressed with his body...

starman · 01-23-2006, 09:52 PM
