Gustavo Badell 1 week out

[slayer]

The lightning on this pictures are pretty shitty. Using the flash on the camera eliminate all the lines and shades and makes u look much smaller and softer...

exactly , some of these dopes dont realize theres more to life then a digital point and shoot camera they bought at wallmart

taken under proper lighting with a decent camera these dopes mite be foaming and have him winning the mr "o"

You have to admit that even considering they are poor photos, there is a bit less quad detail than you would expect.

not bad,has very stocky structure and has maxxed out frame,he had his big push a few yrs ago.good bber neverthless..

[The Squadfather]

he looks fantastic, it's weird, his legs look tremendous from the front and then they disappear from the back.

Agreed. But having define hams is very difficult.

[gymguy]

He looks good. the lighting looks terrible.  Top 3 for sure.
1. Heath
2. Silvio
3. Gustavo

I see Gustavo is better than Silvio. I think Silvio will be there bigger than ever but no cut.

[A2daMIR]

He has long biceps.  he's never going to have a huge peak. 

or he can do what other do, synthol

[kyomu]

Peak is not so important enough to inject oil. I have never thought that Gustavos weak point is arms.
To the contrary,i always think that he has good pair of arms.

[Stavios]

I think he will be in shape

but he absolutly needs to come in depleted IMO

[Triple-H_2005]

If he dries out, he can score top 3.  Even if he's a little watery, his name will guarantee him a top 5 placing and an Olympia invite, because With Heath, Silvio, Wolf, Dexter and a couple of others, he will NOT be making top 5 at the Arnold.

just like levrone and ray.

[Karl Kox]

Could just be the light but I don't see him winning.

[James Blunt]

Don't foget he's a past Ironman winner and placed 3rd in the O twice.

[MikeThaMachine]

Other then the shitty lighting I say he still looks great but not a contender for winning. I see him anywhere in the top half of both the Ironman and ASC but whether he is 2nd or somewhere near 10th all depends on how dry he can get come showtime.

[njflex]

with him he should be the winner due to his recent placings last few yrs,he made huge gains to become top pro .its like wheeler and cormier they swept the ironman every year they entered,cutler won few times .

[AVBG]

New pics?

[AVBG]

if those are the new pics he looks very good in them.  legs look better from the front in them also for some reason...

he may not win, but he is looking better this year.

they are the latest pics.. got them from http://blog.flexonline.com/

[Snotroot]

he looks good, but still doesn't have that close to death thiness in his face.

[The Squadfather]

anyone have a copy of gustavo's training routine??

especially for back?  his erectors look developed all the way up his back very well.  id like to know his routine...

same shit all the other guys do, bb rows, db rows, pulldowns, deadlifts.

[The Squadfather]

thx squad...cleared that right up!

thats why his back looks better than most of the other guys...hmmm

it's funny that you think he's doing something tremendously different than all the other pros or that he has some secret exotic back exercises that no one's heard of, his back looks great but to me it looks no better or worse than all the other top guys like Victor, Dexter, Wolf, Heath or the rest of them.

no no man....didn't you hear about his secret one arm tbar rows, and bb rows with one overhand one underhand grip for 7.5 sets of 3.25 reps....they really bring up the back

[ironneck]

i never said there was a "secret" dumbass...

some pros have lagging parts in their backs though.  some have poor erectors, or poor traps, or poor lats, etc.  He has a very complete looking back, and I wanted to know the exercises he did to achieve it. 

It could be just deadlifts, barbell rows, and chinups for all i know.  the point is if it only took 3 main exercises to develop a complete back, then i would want to know which ones he chose because his back looks good. 

or i could take the opinion "ignorance is bliss" like most people and never try to look at what others have done to achieve success...since apparently everyone on getbig is an expert...

all genetics

[GigantorX]

all genetics

Plus a shitload of drugs.

[Croatch]

Plus a shitload of drugs.

The drugs really only add the finishing touches.  He'd still be 240lbs naturally.
