Yes.... Alot of his poses in which the body is "open" he looks like a retard, worse then Dillet. If he could learn to pose better he may be able to pull it off half decently.

Trust me Yates looked much worse, and not just in that pose.

I am kicking myself for not buying that MD issue with Armin's arm training...

all I got is the flex where he is featured doing chest.. almost invisible chest... sorta like billy guns.

Post by: swoody on June 18, 2007, 04:45:55 PM: This boy is a true FREAK in every sense of the word... and EVEN HAS A SMALL WAIST. When he emerges from the time he took off, if he can keep bringing up his legs and back like he has been doing, he is gonna make waves in the IFBB....

Post by: Theoak* on June 18, 2007, 10:28:55 PM: It may not be hes mandatory pose but its definately his signature pose. Every great Olympian has one. When ever you see a bodybuilder perform that pose you instantly think of Sergio Olivia. Its a pose in which your body looks best, arnold, dorian, haney, coleman etc all have a signature pose that combines their muscularity, symmetry and conditioning.

I think it was the 2005 olympia where Gustavos routine included all the signature poses of all the Olympia title holders, very good routine.

Looks good, for sure, but he aint no Oliva nor Priest (in that pose). Very underrated though. Also, tank-tops 8 weeks out are deceiving sometimes, ask Dennis James.

Post by: SteelePegasus on June 19, 2007, 02:29:06 AM: umm..The Wrath of McGrath!!!!
Title: Re: arms overhead(Oliva pose)
Post by: Figo on June 19, 2007, 02:00:34 PM: Oliva had it all in pose, everything, from tip to toe, hence its been named the Oliva pose.

Priest and McGrath do it justice, not because they emulate Oliva, but because they pull -it-off, mainly due to their extreme arm(including forearm, they both have huge)development and relatively small waistlines.
