Melvin is built very well and can deliver the condition as always at the O … I still cant understand why all people and judges can talk about are his hamstrings and glutes … same goes to Troy as well … some of the most aesthetic with proper V taper BBers in the sport yet are being judged on two body parts

Melvin can be in the top 6 easily at the O

Agreed, he had a awesome look, I was anticipating him destroying the pro scene...

It's a barameter for his condition. His upper back will come in, but his lower back suffers. He's built like Flex Wheeler and has Flex's weakness when it comes to condition. thing is, he has some strengths that Flex didn't have, like a Flaring cobra-like lat spread.

Um.. Flex had great conditioning, maybe some of the best ever.

Melvin's conditioning has always held him back.

Flex could always come in conditioned at the early (Ironman, Arnold etc...) year shows. But come Olympia time, he had problems more often than not.
Melvin has always had poor conditioning for what he needed to show on a pro stage. Even when he won the NOC- which was debated back then too.
