Darrem Charles in my opinion is the most underrated bodybuilder of all time! He wasn't the biggest but his shape and conditioning unbelievable posing is astonishing and he's 54???? He hasn't aged a bit! AMAZING!
He was as solid bb. How was he underrated tho? I consider guys like gunter and Ruhl more underrated. Just my opinion, Charles had a great lean physique but didn’t have the total wow factor. Just my opinion:
Love this Chanel. I think Phil’s at his highest now! Staying positive and still making a living doing what he loves. And, still offering the BB community very relevant insight. Just a novice but looks like this Olympia’s shaking up to be a banger ! Epic !
Wasn’t near as good to me. Maybe because I love Chris. Really they always have a different person on there and Chris is consistent with milos and Dennis. I would’ve loved to hear more from hany. Darrem I like but he isn’t one i realty kept up with and he was a genetic gift. Not really a exciting bb.
I myself might be old, but nothing is more off-putting then hearing if these guys think they have it bad it's nothing compared to our day. This really shouldn't come out of anyone's mouth. Your here to talk about the guys of today. Without them you have nothing to talk about. Lift them up your day is over.
My eyes were drawn to Andrew more than anyone on that stage... IMO he's like Paul Dillett of today. Both guys are 6'2", both guys complete at around 290lbs. The difference is that Andrew can actually pose really well. Sky's the limit for him.
Round table is the best. Please don’t stop Dennis. Darrem kind of boring to me but just my opinion. Milos could talk all day I can’t hear enough. He’s the best. Hilarious. Guy remembers everything to the littlest detail from 20 years ago. 😂👍🏾
So nice to see Darem! It’s been awhile and was thinking about him recently wondering if maybe he was ill because it had been awhile. Really happy to see him and hope he comes back as a regular because there is so much history about his career and what was going on at the time when he was competing. I don’t know why but I always thought he was older than me and I looked up to him and to find out today he is only one year older than me ! 😂 Blew me away !
you got to love milos he,s so passionate for his sport he reminds me of a great white jumping on his prey. it wouldn,t suprise me at all if he starts gearing up for that masters olympia in 2023.
Very BIG vid and meeting and STANDING OVATION to Darrem! He is lasting like fews and he deserves to be still in the game and listened to, as can give a very special and unique path, beyond results, titles and medals. I really really Respect his witnessing and experience, so thanks so much DJ for having him here. Great stuff and content👍🏻🤜🏻👏🏻( p.s. I know is true and trust ‘bout his natural tract of career: Ronnie, Mike Ashley, Skip La Cour etc etc many else are forever proofs of some talented/gifted ones which exist [period] and people should know and test, just starting from themselves much more, before jump into gear and throwing shit to the rest of the world)
No Denis, if you have a podcast like this, it's to precisely open cans of worms, not to keep them close. Fortunately Milos was there to actually have a real debate
Honestly on the debate about Akim and Kamal I think it’s looked at in the wrong perspective I’ll explain. Dennis says Akim has 60lbs more muscle than Kamal ok we all know why that is right ?? Kamal is a shorter ( not smaller) bodybuilder his weight of muscle is equivalent to Akim’s weight . Kamal is about as heavy as he can be because he will not be growing an extra 6inches of height anytime soon . Sounds like the elephant in the room to me is if guys are going to be judged basically on their height to weight ratio or less than rather , then maybe 212 competitors just should not be allowed to complete in open bodybuilding. When the Clauida won in the open after last year’s Olympia I think they instantly wish they would’ve just let him be second because it opened a bag of worms . A 212 or shorter bodybuilder can ALWAYS be said to be smaller when actually according to his height he is not his muscle suits his body. Just let everybody stay in their own divisions that’s my take on it
Darren Thinks and acts like hes 20.Hes seems cocky and not a family man.Seen him once GUEST pose with his wife and he Ignored her the whole day.Was sad.
They asked him to come on show. And your assuming a lot. Sad? What’s sad is you and your comment. You SEEM like a guy stuck in some structured view of what life should be. Let him live his life. Edit: he did say he was boring so your probably taking it the wrong way especially from someone that doesn’t m know him.
ignorant of Dennis. you could have heard directly from the source and knew the answer to your own question just by simply paying attention to the sport. when he said that he was 70 to 80% it was because they were planning to do the UK Arnold show and we're dieting for that and the timing of the diet was that the last of the cut would be leading into the Arnold show. since the Texas pro was weeks ahead / prior to the Arnold, meaning that in the cutting process he was only 50 to 75 percent cut. he was less conditioned than his competition like kamal and martin, yet he still won, and he is still dieting the other 25 percent to get down to his true leanness or competition condition at the lower body fat percentage. learn what percentages mean ya goof! if 100 percent is 10 weeks and you diet for 7 weeks, its 70 percent. by the way Andrew is an engineer with a good mathematical education and background so him thinking in percentages is nearly to be expected.
@@DennisTheMenaceJames You, Chris and Milos is the perfect trio for sure. Cant wait for the next round table to come out. Would love to see Dorian guest some time. Chad would also be a good guest. Anyways keep up the great work big homie 💪
I just realized Dennis you have a beard 😜.
I talked to you for two hours and didn't notice...😂
hahaha you got to pay attention Milos lol
Darrem Charles in my opinion is the most underrated bodybuilder of all time! He wasn't the biggest but his shape and conditioning unbelievable posing is astonishing and he's 54???? He hasn't aged a bit! AMAZING!
Definitely up there mate funny a lot from that era not mentioned much. Gunter rarely gets mentioned nor tony freeman both stupidly good atheistic.
I totally agree!
He was as solid bb. How was he underrated tho? I consider guys like gunter and Ruhl more underrated. Just my opinion, Charles had a great lean physique but didn’t have the total wow factor. Just my opinion:
@@keithlilly6242 What I mean by "underated" is there were shows that he should've been in the top 5 or even top 3
He wasn’t underrated. He was an undersized robot dancer.
I literally wait for this every week. Love these round table discussions!!
That makes two of us
I will keep them coming for you guys. Thanks for watching
Love from India Denis. ❤❤❤ Really looking forward to more of these stuffs.
Wow they have 2 fans... Haha
Lmao Hany “Rambo” 😂😂😂
Darrem is a good dude! Always went out of his way to say hi to me back in the day!
My favorite podcast
Darrem is very eloquent; I liked him telling stories of the past! Milos amazing brain like always.
Love this show!!
Dareem was such a good bodybuilder. Very tough era to compete in
Milo’s Milo’s Milo’s oh boy, I can listen him all day long!!!!!!!
Same here 😊💯💯💯
good episode 👍
Please see about having Vince Taylor on. Another legend and great athlete of the 90s era. Ty
DJ, You’re KILLIN it with this podcast each week 😎👌🏼🔥🔥🔥THANK YOU for such great content 🙌🏼
Thank you for watching brother
Love this Chanel. I think Phil’s at his highest now! Staying positive and still making a living doing what he loves. And, still offering the BB community very relevant insight.
Just a novice but looks like this Olympia’s shaking up to be a banger ! Epic !
Great Show!
That is very cool you had Darrem Charles.
is DJ using a filter on his face his skin looks to perfect lol
Lmao no filter needed.
@@DennisTheMenaceJames Färbst du deinen Bart?
Love when milos is on
Darrem is looking awesome!!!!
Finally a new roundtable!
Wasn’t near as good to me. Maybe because I love Chris. Really they always have a different person on there and Chris is consistent with milos and Dennis. I would’ve loved to hear more from hany. Darrem I like but he isn’t one i realty kept up with and he was a genetic gift. Not really a exciting bb.
@@keithlilly6242 agreed
Darrem was a great performer! Him and Melvin would bring the house down!
Great physiques and great posers 👏🏼👏🏼😁💯💯
Oh hell yea keep hany on more often!
Hany is great 😎👍🏻👍🏻💯
Hopefully they can continue that subject next week!
another great episode!
Oh man, I remember when Darrem posed at the NY Pro in the classic class and a Shawn Rhodan was recording him with a huge smile on his face.
Filing??
@@juantaste8603 oh shoot,sorry, I ment Shawn was filming(shoot autocorect and I was writing without my New reading glasses)
Darrem had and has a stellar physique, I have always been a fan of this dude
Same here. Not the biggest bodybuilder, but his physique was STELLAR 👌🏼
DJ SHAVE THAT FACE BRUH LOL! Great show !
Please come back Darrem!! 🔥
Darrem was one of the best posers 😊👍🏻👌🏼👌🏼
Damn Darrem still looks amazing 👍
I’ll always remember his Olympia posing routine he did as a tribute to his mother passing back in ‘02🙏
Thank you Gentlemen!
What he meant by 75% - 80% is he wasn’t going to do Texas. He was prepping for the Arnold so he technically competed early. That’s what that means.
Darrem was badass he reminded
I myself might be old, but nothing is more off-putting then hearing if these guys think they have it bad it's nothing compared to our day. This really shouldn't come out of anyone's mouth.

Yup
Paul had much bigger muscles.
Lol!!! How old are yall? Paul was not that heavy. 270max
I love these but I feel for Dennis. There's always one guest who turns a question into a 10min story and never answers the question.
holy sh!t Darrem Charles. he looks great
Ya def one of the best and amazing what he did natural
Darrem Charles remind me of a bigger version of Sean Ray I remember him from the magazines
Thank you DJ for these podcasts I love it.. keep up the amazing work 💙
Round table is the best. Please don’t stop Dennis. Darrem kind of boring to me but just my opinion. Milos could talk all day I can’t hear enough. He’s the best. Hilarious. Guy remembers everything to the littlest detail from 20 years ago. 😂👍🏾
AJ will be a second call out at the Mr Olympia
So nice to see Darem! It’s been awhile and was thinking about him recently wondering if maybe he was ill because it had been awhile.

Darren was the first time person that I watched the Firts time the TH-cam came out on 2005
Hany Rambo 😂
5,6,7,8 pounds. The way Milos says things is purely unique.
Intro music a bit too loud, but great podcast.
Darren just wants to talk about himself. That fast Metabolism helped him. Hani's advice is correct. Bodybuilders hate to hear the truth.
you got to love milos he,s so passionate for his sport he reminds me of a great white jumping on his prey. it wouldn,t suprise me at all if he starts gearing up for that masters olympia in 2023.
lol...no chance for that...My competitive spirit died long ago...
He’s 10 yrs older than Nick Walker. That’s mind boggling
DARREM 🤌🫴where have you been BROOOOOOOOOOOOO
Can you update your Spotify Dennis?? Or you just don’t post it on there??
hahahahahahaha
Looks like DJ found a bottle of hair dye and used it on his beard.
I remember Charles claimed natty for a long time, even when he was on the Mr O stage end of the 90's.
He definitely wasnt on what the other people were but later... Nah.
Andrew is 38 years old, fellas
Hany is Rambo now
How have I never heard of darrem da fuck
Darreem only speaks if the conversation is about him lollol
Looks good still though

Well said! Skip LaCour was my biggest motivation when getting into bodybuilding back in my early 20s ( I’m 43 now).
@@jdgeibe The same for me, I’m a little older and the list could be filled with many others(!) STAY HEALTHY STAY BUSY🤜🏻👍🏻
@Sannita FL Same to you 😁👍🏼🤛🏼💪🏼💪🏼
No Denis, if you have a podcast like this, it's to precisely open cans of worms, not to keep them close. Fortunately Milos was there to actually have a real debate
Really Darrem? Kamal wasn't almost matching Akim in size. Lol. Not even close. The size discrepancy was so blatantly obvious.
Dennis stop cutting off your guests man jesus christ have some respect
Peter Potter's NPC Southern States Championship 1980's , Darrem Charles guest posing before turning pro (natural) unexplainable .

Hany Rambo??? At least write the name of your guests correctly...
This was a waste to bring hany to this podcast with Darren .
Darren Thinks and acts like hes 20.Hes seems cocky and not a family man.Seen him once GUEST pose with his wife and he Ignored her the whole day.Was sad.
Seriously, why did he even came to the podcast

@@mattspencer6154he seem to be out of it lol. Didn't hear him saying he's boring. But guess we gotta give the guy a break.

We know akim won bc they wanted him 2 go 2 the o
He better skip arnold classic and prepare for Mr Olympia or better skip one year and work hard for being better for next year
Nawl. He has Everything. He only needs to detail.
Fuad "small forearm abiad.
Broooo . I’m only 9:30 minutes and this guy Darren shouldn’t ever do any podcast or TH-cam . He’s annoying to listen to . No substance
thumbs down
Best podcast out there hands down. Always legends on and Milos is the best permanent member you could find. Great show as always 💪
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
thank you and yes Milos is the Mind and Chris is the Real Deal
@@DennisTheMenaceJames You, Chris and Milos is the perfect trio for sure. Cant wait for the next round table to come out. Would love to see Dorian guest some time. Chad would also be a good guest. Anyways keep up the great work big homie 💪
Yeah definitely. Would love to see Mr. Chad (as Ramy calls him😊) on the podcast
@@jdgeibe Yeah Chad is funny as hell to and most def have some great storys from the late 90s early 00s. Would be an awesome episode for sure.
