IFBB Pro Nathan Epler 5 Weeks Out Indy Pro

[Tr55]

[Fortress]

Who?

[LurkerNoMore]

Never heard of the Indy Pro.  Never heard of him either.

[OneMoreRep]

Took a look at his video. He doesn't look bad, but definitely needs to brings his arms up. His chest/back severely overpower his arms.

Chest, shoulders, back and abs look solid. Quads & hams look to be in good shape as well. Unfortunately, his calves are also severely lacking.

If he brings up his arms (bi's/tri's) + calves, he will be a someone to reckon with. Until then, he should be careful as to not allow his midsection to grow too wide, as it's starting to show signs of it particularly at the width of his obliques. Given that he is a smaller guy, that V-taper is too important. Watch your drug use as to not fuck around with the shit that will make you look blocky (ie Branch Warren-ish).

Wish him the best of luck.

he has likely trained arms as much as he can, nothings going to suddenly make a bodypart grow after a few years of training it, and chances are hes never trained his calves because he knows they dont count anymore or simply has zero genetics to build any

The short answer is that he just doesn't have the genes for good size to his arms and calves. I agree with you, but since he's young maybe he can still gain a little.

These modern bodybuilders need to learn how to tan in the sun.

[Mothballs]

Worst arms since Kamali.

[Rascal full]

I was quite impressed with him surprisingly, I mean normally these new guys are pretty awful but Epler has got a future, as pointed out particularly if he can bring his arms up.

[Stephano]

Worst arms since Kamali.

Yeah.

Those are not pro-level arms.  They're awful.

His biceps are flat and weak.  Check out how his anterior deltoids are totally over-developed compared to his biceps in the BDB.  That's probably the worst and most glaring asymmetry you can exhibit in that pose. 

His triceps also suck.

You can't be a successful bodybuilder if you have genetically weak arms, so he ought to find a new hobby.

Lee Haneys arms werent all that great genetically

Lee Haneys arms werent all that great genetically

Lee Haney's arms weren't that poor, though.  And he had a near-flawless BDB; even his arms in that pose typically look great.

Besides, what are we doing comparing this dork to Lee Haney?

[Hulkotron]

Never heard of the Indy Pro.  Never heard of him either.

I think Big Dan Hill is in MMA now.

[Fortress]

Yes, his arms/biceps from the rear (no homo) are VERY poor.
