Shawn Ray - Peaked to Perfection

[Pitbull9]

Back in that '90s time you could shoot guys for the mags three weeks out. These days the window for photo ops is much tighter.

Thats pathetic, and just another reason i dont even really like BBing anymore.

Shawn's DVD set is great value. In fact he was one of the pioneers of personalized videos, bring out Lifestyle of The FIT and Famous in 1989. Then he released other videos throughout the early '90s when in regard to the Olympia he was the heir apparent and as far as his noggin was concerned the hair was apparent.

Fixed...Hee hee. Couldn't resist.

Shawn's 'To the Extreme' was way ahead of it's time in terms of productions quality and content. Loved that video.

4 inches of height, and he has 4 O titles

It's a shame they reward height.

Come on SR Ive seen your videos and I have only one problem with the Muscle and Fitness article: What about SIZZLERS? I think they filed CHP 11 bankrupt when you quit dining there as frequently! LOL Those KC Strips and the whole deal looked Awesome! You were one of my idols of BBing and I always followed your "look in the mirror" instead of body caliphers telling me how lean I was! I always get a kick out of someone who starts posing in front of me and saying thier 5% BF(but look 10%)! Take it from SR look in the mirror! I dont care what lighting,where at,am or pm if you dont look in shape in the mirror(but your BF% was tested at 5%) do yourself a favor and Just do what youve got to do and get yourself good in that dam mirror! Ive been there before so thats why I thank you Shawn!

G Force, you are so right about Shawn and Sizzler's. He was in there so often they nearly made him part of the logo.

Thanks boys!
I didn't know I was "Breaking Ground" by not having a Trainer, Counting Calories or getting Body Fat Testing done?
It all never really mattered to me, the only thing I thought was important was "How I Looked in the Mirror" cause the Mirror doesn't lie!

To The Extreme was my favorite video I ever made because it shows you my Work Ethic and Passion for what drew me to the game, "The Journey!"

That said, I dropped a Gazillion Dollars into Sizzler and brought the another Bazillion Dollars in other Customers and Training Partners so it was a Sad Day when I started seeing them slowly disappear!

Great food choices for Building Muscle and I was rewarded Handsomely over the years I ate there

BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

[Victor Bortoletto]

True. I like looking back at the old Olympias, and seeing the smaller guys like Labrada, Ray and Gaspari. Nothing wrong with the big guys, as long as they look good like Arnold and Haney.

take my words!! maybe one day i can look like those guys and bring the old days back! lol

[Portillo.]

I cant get over how good Shawn looked in 99. So much attention to detail that its not funny.

[RockyIII]

every time i watch old videos of IFBB pros they talk about how they were sodium-depleting before a show, which is something most top coaches do not recommend nowadays...is it a trend that has disappeared over time?

that Mariah Carey´s song is so intense!

Very true but sadly with the way the sport is corrupt these days if he ever came back to the 212 Olympia English would win straight firsts.. sad where the sport has gone

The food looked awsome. The video was quick, but very informative. I love watching the nutritional aspect of bodybuilding, even more so then the actual training.

That may be one of the greatest posing routines in the history of bodybuilding.
