i've been saying Dex would win for 2 months.
-
Looking at those pics, I actually think Kai could take it. I might end up eating my words about him earlier.
-
No he's not Phil has em watch ;)
-
no Kai looks too smooth and non-impressive in the relaxed poses
Branch looks better than Kai and Phil
-

explain your point

Ditto. Dex knew it was his when Vic M went down. Phil is good, but conditioning is off today.
-
look at the crazy taper on Dex in the second pic. :o
-
Dex is a pro, he knows there's a lot of money at stake and he prepares accordingly.
-
Dex all the way!
-
Kai is more than holding his own.
It would be very funny if he actually won the show ;D but I know he won't.

Not so much conditioning. It's about the same as the Ironman. He loses because of maturity..
-
Squad do you think Branch is better than Phil
I would say yes
-

yes i do, Branch is thicker, wider and better coditioned, the only thing Phil has on him is a smaller waist.

explain your point
He's carries more muscular bulk , he's in equal condition , he's more complete ( calves , lower lats ) its Phil's contest if he loses I'll be very surprised.

what about his lack of V-taper comapred to Dexter, lack of muscle maturity wich gives him a smoother look than dexter and less details in the quads and back ?
-
the arnold goes to the best bodybuilder - kai coudl win it.
last year, vic m was an ex-con whose name was coming up in gear investigations, yet they still gave him the crown over a near-equal dexter.
kai has a spotted history, but if he's the best man onstage tonight, there's no reason they wouldn't give it to him.
I'd rather see a felon win every year with the best physique onstage, than them give it to a poster boy dynasty who should be 5th at best :(
-
Going solely by the pics posted I would say
1 Dex very sharp!
2 Kai Great conditioning and balance
3 Phil slightly off which shows his weaknesses
4 Branch hard but legs still overpower his upper body a bit. Smooth back
5 Melvin smooth especially from the rear

Both have advantages & disadvantages however as a whole ( to me ) Phil is the clear winner.

do you think Phil is smoother than the Ironman or is it just the lighting that gave him a sharper look at the ironman ?

Looks to be about the same sop far but hard to tell just yet. He was lightly off at the IM too comparded to his other shows.
-
Cant tell from this horrible angle....Dex looks best so far.

this really can go either way, every guys has strong points that the others don't possess
toughest show to judge ever !!!!
Gus looks like a winner when he first came out and then he started to smooth out, if he kept his incredibly dry look that he had at the beggining of the prejudging he was top 2

Did you watch the video? Kai is top 3-4 for sure, and destroys Gustavo

No way Gustavo beats Kai ::)

i disagree, Kai looks awesome from the back but not so much from the front.

Hmmm

I personaly like Branchs physic more than Dexs this time.
Even I see Heath less impressive than Gustavo though...
-
Dex is the only one who knows how to hit mandatory poses correctly.
He's the most complete guy there(although not the biggest). Also, where are pics of Gustavo?

lmfao most complete when he has high lats and missing calves what a douche ! kid stop typing like you know what you're talking about .

having high lats does not mean he is not complete ???

He's winning the back double biceps shot, fucking moron. His lower back looks far more developed than Branch or Heath's.
And here you go again about Calves.. ::) Stick to licking Dorian's raisin balls.
-
Dex is the winner. End of discussion. Even Stevie Wonder can see it.
If Kai had taken his diuretics then "maybe". Needs more SEO in his left biceps. The guy is a freak.
Branch looks amazing. A force to be reckoned with. 2nd place, I hope.
Phil, he needs more time. Destroys Dex on the latsspread - that's it. From the front? Not even close.
-
I think they have both flaws:
Dexter (calves and high lats)
Phil (small pecs and narrow shoulders). They are very close though.
I think that Phil's flaws are more serious because they compromise the overall balance of his physique. That coupled with a better condition and muscle maturity gives Dexter the edge.

Sure he is ::) because we know you have crazy scary knowledge of the judging criteria ::) and its not like the judges ask to see the calves in the back double biceps shot lmfao
you're a simple man but you already know that .
-
Squad you are right about Dex being a Pro and knowing the returns for a show like the Arnold but what about the massive 10k for an Australian Grand Prix win that's just pocket change.I guess it's better than 5th prize 1k. ::)
-
I like Dex, but he may have to settle for 3rd. Phil winner and Branch 2nd. Kai may even beat Dex this time.

thank you, finally someone with some sense.
-
the best man that day should always win the show...That is of course unless one of the men in question have banged farm animals, poultry, anyone under the age of 18, anyone over the age of 65, and last but not least, anyone that has banged any time of fruit, vegtiable or frozen food...If any of the above mentioned were still allowed to compete, then they should be placed at the bottom of the barrel...its as simple as that...

Naw, looking at Branch's photo's more, his back sucks ass, lower back ain't conditioned. Legs are huge. Arms are lumpy. He's too blocky, he looked better when he won his pro card, even his legs looked better then. He looks like a mini Tom Prince.
But I'll say this there are definitely chinks in Phil armor, he can't do like Flex and come in off and use his shape to his advantage. Phil has to be 100% on, or dudes like Warren will take his lunch.
