I just posted my #17 entry for the Muscle-Build.com Bodybuilding Hall of Fame (the Men) here (it’s Tim Belknap, a little-known bodybuilder to many, but very well-known to old-time fans of the sport).

He was good in his day, old school guys I give respect they did not know what whey was or any supplement it was all done with food.
kinda cool reading all that stuff about myself. Nice to see some people still respect and look up to bodybuilding before growth hormone. Imagine if I had taken that!
Tim Belknap
I can be reached at timbelknap.com
My best show ever was Mr. America. Imagine being Mr. America. How many people can say that? I guess they can say they are “The Nationals Champion” NOT QUITE THE SAME RING TO IT.
I praise God I can still live to tell you all about it. I am a proud American.
God Bless America
OMG! Tim is that really you? I am HONORED that you read my blog!!!! You were (and still are, of course) one of my inspirations growing up. I am SO HAPPY that you took the time to write!
Are you kidding? You were phenomenal! I remember when I first found out about you. You were absolutely the best young bodybuilder I had ever seen. And your transformation from off-season to contest shape was simply astounding.
Growth hormone — it’s a curse, in my opinion. Guys don’t appreciate how hard it is to get big and ripped like you were. Thanks a million for stopping by!
Tim Belknap here again. I havent seen you guys since July in here. Thanks for all the nice things you said in here about me. I have a 8 year old son who is the pride and love of my life. If he ever even thinks about this sport in the way of competing I will have to kick his hiney! He has my exact same body I had when I was his age. Thank God he is into basketball. He wants to be another Kobe. Brooks is only 5 foot 6 inches. I guess if he hits the sport like I did in bodybuilding he could actually make it.
God Bless,
Tim
Hi Tim, nice to see you again. Your son is 8 and 5’6″. I think that’s tall for his age, right?
Immense and sharply separated quads and calves were strong points of Tim Belknap
From one diabeteic o another how are you lmpw and waht are you doing theses days jeff
so what r u doing these days ive followed u for a while but u dissapeared im also a diabetic since 1980
so what r u doing theses days
im also a diabetic since 80
@ Jeff, Hey, I’m not Tim, but he’s still around and doing well, from what I can tell.
I am an avid fan of Tim Belknap. Remembering when he was first published in a Weider rag, so young so awesome!
I was still in college or out of, cann't remember. Some summer? 83-85 not sure.
I've seen some guest posers including Tom Platz, though no-one equaled Tim.
I had this conversation with Rick King, owner of Eagle Gym and one of the greatest gyms in Saint Louis or all Missouri. Rick has drawn many of the greatest for guest pose, seen more than me, he also was a great bodybuilder himself and powerlifter.
What he saw I did too. You expect a tan to make a bodybuilder stand out-NO!
Tim guest posed at this aforementioned contest in Saint Louis. I cann't believe what I saw. Tim was snow white and hard as a diamond, I've never seen so much muscle on a human, he was an alien from planetX and beyond. In all honesty, Tim was freaky huge and scary. that snow white skin, for some reason looked great on Tim.
Rick mentioned that he actually scarred people in the audience with his development.
You see some guy guest pose out of shape, not Tim. I'm glad he is 17 though I would rank him in the top 5 in history. For me, the drugs available for current bodybuilders has progressed to the point that I do not follow the sport or care if RC or anyone else is Mr. Olympia. They are cartoons now. No offence to anyone. I respect everyones opinions!! You can disagree and that is your right.
Thank you, and I'm glad he is alive. I amongst some others thought that he died around two years ago. Last night I searched and searched and was told on many a forum that he is alive and well.
Tim take care, you were the best!
Thank you.
