Curry by a country mile, he's already gotten all kinds of coverage in Flex it's a done deal, that Alvisi dude doesn't look as impressive there as the pic someone posted of him last week sometime.

Curry and Long will prob get thier cards.... Long reminds me of Tom Prince ... with that long torso stinking out in the front db

Post by: QuakerOats on July 25, 2008, 01:37:04 PM
now that i look at Libertore's pic i'd say he looks like the front runner to me, thick, shredded and balanced.

Yeah he does...as far as conditioning goes he may be ahead of the others

they both look good, but unfortunately both are in the heavy-weight class so only one will get a card, and with all the press that Curry has gotten, I think he is most likely the front-runner

Curry has BY FAR the better physique

Liberator's condition might give him the win tho, but I prefer Curry's physique

Curry's shape/aesthetics/symmetry and proportion destroy all those other guys by a lot. Unfortunately, he usually has a problem getting unhealthy-ripped (which is required these days) so that might hurt him but he should win.

I dont think he is soft, and he clearly has the best combo of size shape and hardness.

He's holding a bit of water, but he should dry out by tomorrow.  He knows his body well and knows what to do to come in shape.

I agree.  Brandon will win.  His only apparent weakness is in the calves, and that doesn't seem to matter much these days ;)

But on a different track: why don't you post under one of your old accounts, Sarcasm? 

I'm not trying to be a smartass ... I'm geniunely curious why you're using a new account (all I know is D. Anthony got mad awhile back and made some of your family's information public.  I never followed the details). 

Please don't deny who you are.  I know it is you; if I had a farm to bet, I'd put it on the line right now.  A moderator could run an IP check and confirm your identity very easily.  (Would you give them permission to do so?)

If you'd rather keep a low profile I'd understand -- just lemme know -- but then, you have a lot of fans here so I don't know why you'd go that route.  ???  So long as you steered clear of the Himmler/S.S. worship, Primadonis asskissing and racial stuff, I enjoyed many of your posts, too.  You were obviously just having fun and I liked that in you.  People often take themselves far too seriouslyand you served as a good reminder for everyone to just let go and laugh sometimes.

Squad was owned so bad by Derek that he cannot ever again post under the Squad account.

He cannot post under the Sarcasim account because Mindspin took it away after Squad lost a bet.

The Squad/DA owning was the biggest meltdown in GB history. Guys like 240 came back after a meltdown, Squad never recovered.

Yeah i agree but by looking at the comparisons they didn't even put him next to Curry at all. It should be between those 2 and Libertore should probably be 3rd.

yea thats a tough class. i like liberatore, but his asthetics dont match up with the other guys' tiny wait and wide shoulders.

Even Mark Alvisi looked great, its a super tough heavyweight class. All those guys came in shape, even their glutes were shredded.

But thanks for answering my question.  I won't draw any more attention to you.

Curry is easily the front runner in that shot, Alvisi looks pretty damn good as well there, crazy structure on that dude.

Curry's entire upper body is huge

Mark Alvisi has great structure though, if he can keep the waist down bring up the legs and chest/delts he will look great

You're kidding, right? Wolf has no calves. Curry simply has slightly under-proportioned calves. They're really not that bad.
