i've said it before that it's a great way to catch up with old friends and reconnect.....well little did i know that an old friend i've trained with a few times was an exchange student from spain in 1996-1997 when i was training and working for another ifbb pro....but my friend jorge barrios eventually became an ifbb pro in 2004....i hadn't spoke to him since 1997 so i had no idea he made it.....thanks facebook for allowing us to catch up!!!

it's in spain......he's ifbb jorge barrios......my last memory hanging out was at ifbb quincy roberts house for the super bowl (packers vs patriots)....i ate 3 whole pizzas and half a pan of brownies (all during the 2nd half) and couldn't stop eating.....these guys both over 250 (jorge was about 280 at the time and had his "babyfat" still) were amazed at the amount of food i could put away (i was bulked up to 160lbs..i had just come of a big show as a top bantamweight)......needless to say when i was driving jorge and another guy from our gym back to their apartment i got really sick and had to pull over.........good times.........

that dude is sick

i remember spotting him on inclines once....i was still a bantamweight at 23 yrs about 140lbs and he was a puffy 280 repping 405 inclined barbell easy 8-10 reps.....it scared me to have that much weight and being relied on

That's pretty scarry weight if it went down! Pretty impressive but like you say, I'd be scared... shitless, if he needed me for help on that!

How tall is your bud, is he a 5'9"ish guy?

from memory 5'9" or 5'10" maybe.......it's been since 97 since i've seen him in person.....he was only here in the usa for a few years in college and high school as exchange student before moving back to spain.....recently we've talked for the first times since....we talk daily now.....he's doing training/diet/posing/bodybuilding seminars now and training people.....

I have reconnected with tons of old friends on there myself. I have lunch with someone almost every month from there. Its nice to catch up with people you were close to and just lost contact with. Your friend looks awesome.
