I can't get over the arms. I really don't care whether they are fake or not, they look it and that's enough for me.

I don't think he looks too bad - I never expected him to be top 10 or anything - I'd be proud of that body at any age, and YES - I realise that's not the point of the competition!

He doesn't look as bad as Kevin , however he's being compared to who he was and it's a far cry

Conditioning isn't very good... guess he couldn't push the envelope in that regard. He is pulling his arm too far back in the side chest too. Hamstrings are decent.

Yeah I think that's unrealistic to be honest. He certainly made the right choice of class. I suppose the real question - that can of course never be answered - is: if he was a complete unknown and turned up somewhere with that body, would people be impressed with the physique as presented, given his age...? Nationally probably not, but at local shows I think people would appreciate the build....

Looks better than I expected

Still has a great upper body; strange his arms look great in
FDB but completely shot up relaxed and in every other pose

Overall, not a bad showing but not worth frying his kidney..

Agreed. The FDB is easily his best pose. Relaxed it's easy to see the site enhancement. Did he have a left calve injury? It looks non existent.

Worse in my view. Though Kevin would be considered worse relative to his competition. What he accomplished is impressive in some ways, just not for the stage. Same could be said for Kevin.
