The ever-elusive Shadow, who won Olympia six times during the 90s, had uploaded three pictures from his competitive days. In all three of them, he was flexing his muscles and showing off the mammoth physique that he gained from high-intensity training.

In the caption, he narrated the significance of posing right on stage. The Shadow wrote, “Of course, have to give credit to those people I modeled it from, I remember both Samir Bannout and Lee Labrada doing this pose. They have their way of doing it and I changed it to suit myself.? He emphasized the fact that even if the pose was a compulsory one, there was some individuality that everybody built into the pose. The particular pose in the picture was, ?A strong pose because I can showcase the bicep, calves, forearm, and inner thigh which are mostly strong points for myself.???
