Remember Darrem Charles

[grskywalker]

Well here is what he's been up to. For the younger members, he is probably the most successfull bodybuilders out of Trini

It was almost like history repeating itself. Fortunately for Darrem Charles the ending was different this time around. After three runner-up finishes this year, Charles finally hit paydirt, toppling Johnnie Jackson to win the Atlantic City Pro on Saturday. The win was a role reversal from three weeks ago, when Jackson got the better of Charles at the Montreal Pro Classic. "We're all training to come out on top," Charles said. "You just never know what's going to happen. My goal was to win the other shows but I didn't." "The whole conversation with beating Johnnie, I don't get into that. If the judges have him first, he's first until the next show. He's not a cocky guy. We're all pros and anything can happen on any given day. Today was just my day." With the win, Charles now has won at least one show a year for the fifth consecutive year. After the three runner-up finishes, combined with an eighth at the Arnold Classic and a fourth-place finish at the Europa Super Show, that streak appeared to be in jeopardy in 2006. "I always try to keep confident," said Charles. "Once I'm competing I'm always thinking the next show. I was hoping that the year wouldn't go by with me not winning one." From the outset, the show was clearly a two-man race between Charles and Jackson. But Charles came to Atlantic City in superb condition, and his conditioning proved to be the difference. "I still feel good," Jackson said. "It's always a pleasure fighting at the end with him. I've got the Olympia next week, and now I'm focused on that." Rodney St. Cloud placed third to earn his second Olympia qualification (his previous appearance was 12th at the 2003 event). Marcus Haley and King Kamali finished fourth and fifth, respectively. On the women's side, Julie Palmer won the Fitness title while Lisa Aukland earned her first bodybuilding win as a professional. Palmer edged out Angela Monteleone-Semsch and Stacy Simons, while Aukland beat out Helen Bouchard and Tazzie Columb. The top three from both fitness and women's bodybuilding earned qualifications to Olympia Weekend. "I'm absolutely thrilled," Aukland said. "It's always a dream to win a pro show. I never really thought I would win a pro show, so this is just icing on the cake."

[TriniCana]

Coco this is why ah say to each its own yes
i cyah stress on dey word unattractive.

Now me ain't know much about body building and what it takes to reach dat stage.
But dat cyah be good for ya muscles. what about your bone/body structure

Ya know dey constant strain, the intake of those muscle builders and allyuh know what ah mean. I'm sure he like other body builders spend 4-5 hours maybe more in a gym per day pushing themselves because the mirror in front of them saying 'you not dere yet" . When is enough is enough?

any bodybuilders in here - lemme hear wha push allyuh nah

[Blue]

Cana I ain't no bodybuilder but I will try to answer

for some of dem fellers (women too) it is a lifestyle...they start out training as teenagers/young adults and start to get stronger/bigger. They enter some shows and competitions, get encouraged...enter bigger shows, sign all kinda endorsements (just look in those bodybuilding mags) and get income. They might start some gyms along the way, or become personal trainers, and participate in competitions every year. So in a sense their image becomes their career and they have to maintain it or increase it. They seem to enjoy it. Some of dem have day jobs though.


As for the bone structure, strength training actually improves it...by pumping iron (not ressin' it eh....sadly), your bone density increases and becomes more sturdy...reduces the risk of osteoporosis...dat is why in the early stages of osteoporosis ppl does do some kind of strength training to lessen the ultimate impact on their bones

if yuh eh fancy Darrem, yuh should see Ronnie Coleman..I does wonder how he does walk, much less put on ah jersey

to each its own 

[TriniCana]

now dis is man, thank you for the explaination Grande
not only you made alot of sense in answering meh, you ain't lie bout not being one.

now dis is man 

lemme go do ah google on ronnie
