Branch looking really good aswell - condition is spot on! Thought he was going to really struggle this year.

Other aspects aside I reckon Branch was in the top 3 conditioning wise in the prejudging.

 

[Homemaster]

I don't know how to judge but Phil definitely doesn't look on form.

 

[Rugby88]

I tend to believe they get so wrapped up in 1 or 2 guys that even if a random came in looking better they would be totally ignored because they are so focused on these 1 or 2 people....i.e Wolf, Branch, Rhoden

I'd love to see an unknown come in and blow them all away!

It really does seem that way doesn't it..

I just dont think it will ever happen I honestly believe to a degree they have one or two people so focused in their minds that even if someone did come in and blow everyone away they would be ignored....I have honestly (from the pictures I have seen) have been more impressed with Branch, Wlf, Rammy and Rhoden than Phil or Kai...

Acouple of pics of Branch -

No it never will - would be good to see though.

I reckon Warren, Wolf and Bonac we re the best conditioned. Bonac wasn't as dry as Warren but looked super full.

 

[C_T]

yeah the judges did call branch back, he will be top 6 (which is a very competitive top 6!)

telecast has started, just interviewing jay cutler atm

Yea forgot about Bonac - he looked fantastic - honestly though he is right between the Open class and the 212's - he is too big to go in the 212's and prob too small to ever do any damage in the opens...looks sick though - dem arms are ridic

Yeah I know, the way they commentators were talking about his progression through the weight classes though, a couple of years and he could be a serious contender!

If I was him I would of stayed in the 212's


Ramy V Heath -

 

[C_T]

phil was def off yesterday, it was a shame they couldn't put rammy between kai and phil so we can really see the comparison (as in, the same camera frame, not pics side by side)

rammy looks great on his own, i just need to see him more along side the others.

 

[Rugby88]

Wolf needs to win - by far the best.

Won the crowds poll..

 

[C_T]

imo he didn't look the goods yesterday...

and standing next to someone like phil or kai, or even victor... from the back he still has no lats (and no calves). can't see how he could win...

theres just so many top guy's. 1 flaw becomes a very big flaw.

 

[JazDSpaz]

Too true I mean id love wolf to win but I couldnt justify giving it to someone who has no calves when other guys clearly do.

Even ramy looked better then Phil imo from that comparison photo.

Just shows how subjective bb'ing is because I had Wolf leading from the back - well every pose but the side chest - also best conditioned - condition wise phil/kai were not even in the top 3.

Victor is not even close....

Wolf will def be top 3 regardless...
