Stan Trains Arms

Has the wrong physique to be a competitive bodybuilder at the moment.
I agree with u in the sense that he obviously doesent have optimal bbing genetics. hes got a thick midsection and and does not posess those muscle bellies of other highly competitive bbers. but still, the guy obviously loves training, and to challenge himself. he prolly knows he will have to overcome obstacles, but he gives it a shot. hes achieved great things in powerlifting, and now wants to pursue something else. nothing wrong with that. most bbers who step on a stage doesent have flex wheeler or kevin levrone genetics, but as long as u love what ure doing then go for it. many examples of hard work overcoming genetics in this sport as well as in many other areas of life. stan could very well be such a guy.
I completely agree with you in that people should always challenge themselves. But there is a point in which you know you are losing time brosephinsky. For example, a man with no eyes could try as hard as he can to grow a new pair, but its impossible.
Stan is pure power and strength, but his structure is horrible, his muscle bellies suck, his insertions are unaesthetic, nothing is appealing about his physique. A guy like Branch Warren can, through really hard work, achieve an appealing physique, because he is within the boundaries of making it happen.
Stan, however, is not I believe. I may be wrong though and I know he will prove me wrong if I am.
Dave Palumbo made a career out of BBing despite having the worst physique to ever hit a professional BBing stage.
From the vids of Stan that I have seen, I don't think he really cares about winning a BBing show but about challenging himself. After seeing his house I think we can comfortably say he clearly does not need the money!
So he has posted a world Raw PLing record, that goal has clearly been conquered. He won a show to go IFBB pro, why not compete and challenge himself there? I'm not saying he'll win, but lets face it, he still looks better than Dave P and he is a breath of fresh air in BBing.
