Just saw Melvin Anthony at my gym today...

I didnt go and say wassup tho' not that big of a fan and i wanted to respect the man's space. If i had a camera i would have took a pic with him but our gym doesnt allow cameras anyway. One thing i noticed was his chest, ive always thought that was his week point and seeing him in person made me believe it. Chest is way too small for his proportions. Not the biggest guy but looked like he was in good condition. Lee Ingram works out occasionally at the same gym but he's like a gorilla, hes pretty huge. I just couldnt believe we had a was he top 5 olympia finisher in our gym in lil ol Hawaii.

to bad you didn't talk to him...would of been nice to hear that someone told him to quit crying all the time!

**pistonpump** · 06-27-2008, 01:30 AM

yeah im not a big fan if it was someone else id probably go over and say something. Mindgame, his chest looked small...

I meant like in person they look huge. At least Jat cutler chest was huge when i saw him. I thought maybe its the same with every bbder.

mel is genetically narrow, probably the smallest waist in the pros, which is good and bad...so when his shoulders grow his chest is over powered by them, quite obvious in the pic

**pistonpump** · 06-27-2008, 03:22 AM

yeah his shoulders and arms were obviously impressive.

I tend to have the same issue.....my shoulders always overpower the chest regardless of training changes...not so evident in my avi, but other pics I have.

Yea they are ridiculous up close. Right before Cutler won the Olympia i went to watch him and Coleman guest pose at some NPC show. i was sitting in the first row and took this pic. I just could not believe how freaking big they were.

*edit* pic is too big to insert so just click the link:

I love the pics where they stand next to a regular person just so emphasize the size difference that much more.
