2013 Olympia - Is Shawn Rhoden a sign of the future

Shawm is 38. Dexter 43 and still in good condition.

You forget that Shawn was retired for many years. He is fresh. Every year he improves. He competed only in 3 Olympias. In his first he placed out of top 8 I guess. Second he placed 3rd, now he placed 4 because Wolf got it together. I think that its damn good. You simply cant have mass monster with waist like that. He added mass since last year in right places and improved his conditioning. Clever move I think. He is working with Joda and Aceto. Show general public top 6 and let them choose winner. Its going to be him.

People were hating on guts and bloat, talking about getting back to smaller conditioned look and now when you have it, you dont like it.

What you want then?

THE GUY did a superb job presenting his build,posing,overall look,his once overpowering legs have evened out with better upper body like 'flex'lewis did.

I think it's clear that judges want leaner builds, could this be an improvement from the GH gut Era

u bring up a solid point but none of those gentleman on this list were 3rd and 4th in the mro..

[falco]

Shawn is no Flex but i hope he doesn't destroy his phisique.

[Rudee]

Ol' droopy eyes looked real good from the front.  From the back, not so much.

[Cableguy]

Has the best shape out there right now. Too bad about his back. Didn't know he was that old. Not impossible to bring up his back to match his front, but pretty unlikely at this point.
