Dex "fix ur camera kid" Jackson, looked confident.. I hear he is NONE too happy with MD these days.. "NOT ENOUGH LOVE for the defending champion", he was heard said!

The jury is still out on Phil Heath.. He's good but this time around in better company, I'd like to see him win to shove it to the MD guys 8)

I don't know if its just the angles of the pics, but he looks to have re-gressed. IMO he needs to move to the US full time to have a shot at improving.. the drugs in OZ just aint there to make it a level playing field.

Mark Dugdale.. Great lines, not enough mass.. If I were him I'd sit out the 07 season and concentrate on bringing up the arms and overall mass.. He's the wrong physique in the wrong time to be competitive.

David Henry.. Nothing really impresses me with his physique.. don't know how he got this far.. needs to be shredded and in a small man comp to do well.. under 220 class at Europa will serve him well

I stand corrected, his back muscularity is his only saving grace.

good shot's,silvio remind's me off mustafa if comparing,taylor man look's good his chest is only thing going down overall ok,rockel is ripped and great shape,leg's are nice shaped and full,dugdale cover's all bases and prepared i don't think he will go over the edge and do radical improvment needed today,just bring what work's for him.gustavo lost the last 2 year's of improvement's he made.branch is a beast but at this point he cannot go back and undersize himself to please the judges for a symmetrical type build,seem's some of these guy's have 1 big year of top 3 place's in the smaller show's and everybody rave's and make's them legitimate contender's for year's and they either play the size game or miss their peak's all together and make's you wonder how they improved so much year before and now year later a also ran?
