The comeback of Richard Jones... it should be interesting.

Can he take the entire show.... as when he was in contest shape, he looked great...
 or will Mark Dugdale steal his comeback.

Or will George Farah just clean up and improve on his dismaying finishing at the Orlando Pro...

Ahmad Ahmad looked great when he competed here in California last year (as an amatuer).

Vinny Galanti - should place in the top five too.

Great to see Richard back. I think his confidence took a knock when he competed at the O a couple of years ago but he has fantastic shape.

Wasn't he supposed to be shawn ray's protege' back then?
I thought he left competing to finish his degree

I thought he was getting a degree and a job, too.

When he left competition the first time, he was one of few bodybuilders who mattered.  It'll be interesting to see how he compares to his former self, to say nothing of how he'll compare to the other guys onstage.

could be that he finished his degree and misses the "fame" he received in bodybuilding. Anyway as you said it'll be interesting to see how he compares with todays level of competition

As far as I know, he's always admitted to relying on aas, gh, slin himself, said himself included, would never be (x lbs / x bf %) onstage, unless on stuff

Looks better? What are you talking about?

How do you think Ronnie or Dorian?

they are far from Beauty. But they have winning physic(MASS quality shape).

If you search for artistic beauty,you wont find it out in the competition. Let alone pros.

But is he having a dig, or expounding on a topic that has been discussed a lot over past week, gh use, dosages, timing, etc in other threads. And using Jones as example.

Yes he is having a dig. Read his post. '' Jones would be 170lbs on a good wet day'' ''All GH and test''

Well every other pro is exactly the same. Most would be well under 200lbs without the shit.

While i dont dispute the fact Jones is doing what gh15 said he is doing, Jones is hardly in an exclusive club is he.

it's about that balance..

and thats the problem this "far from beauty" shit has skewed so far away from actual aesthetics that bodybuilders are starting to look like science projects, some top pro's look good
