Title: Roelly Winklaar, Promising Future or Also Ran?
Post by: Parker on March 07, 2010, 08:05:01 AM
Roelly Winklaar had a good Pro debut, placing 7th in a stacked field. Some say (me included), he should have been 6th, and I have him ahead of Branch (he has better overall package and a better back than Branch). He has a standout bodypart, namely his tris, a good dispostion, humble and good people around him. I see him improving his back detail and posing, and his chest and climbing up the ranks. If not surprising some of the top guys in the future. He already placed ahead of Hide and Melvin and JOJ, three guys who can be dangerous if on.

What say you?

I'm a fan so let's hope he keeps it going now.

Where are Fankhouser, Brewer, Centopani, Namat? McMillan and Kahn are coming soon as well.
Haven't heard from Flex Lewis for awhile now either?

He'll definitely improve both his physique and placings, but his back is far from impressive (compared to his arms and delts) and he doesn't stand out when compared with the top pros.

I see him kinda like Dennis James - freaky from some angles, but structurally not good enough to go all the way. He could prove me wrong, but how many pros improved their back by as much as he needs to do, to win shows?

I like him better than guys like Hide and Melvin, though.

I think he's got a great future ahead of him - 7th place in his first Arnold and first pro show is pretty damn good going, considering the guys who placed above him.

He's only a young guy anway and if he improves his back and adds thickness and detail then I think he's a contender for consistent top six Olympia placings in the years to come.

He can do a smaller show and do some serious damage. I was happy to see him crack the top 10. Placing top 10 at the Arnold is the calibur of bb that belongs at the Olympia.

Last I saw of Fankhouser he needs more upper body, I like his shape and type of physique. Brewer will probably be stuck in the amatuer ranks. Centopani, well, he would have been last or clos to it at this Arnold, McMillian, Nunn, want to see them. Namat would do good at a smaller show, 202s. Kahn,  I want to see if he can bring the conditioning...all top 7 except Branch brought conditioning to the table.

Chick actually nailed this one when talking about Roelly when he said he needs more time to bring up the thickness through the chest/back...I want to agree with you about Branch but as ugly as his body is, the man is just a freak'n beast...He is a fully trained bodybuilder from head to toe...Total dedication...He may not be pretty but the guy is insane...And to be honest that Roelly smile may be one of the creepiest things this side of Basile's preferred means of transportation...

He's got nothing but quality muscle. No synthol lookin lumps and bumps. Good striations and lines. Good future if he stays that way.

So far, I like him. I hope he continues to improve. Here's hoping he doesn't become another synthol freak or anything. If he brings up his back he will do some serious damage.

His back is quite competitive I thought

Compared to others it was really weak.

His back structure may not allow him to go all the way, but hes not on his own there, if he can improve it, he will always be a threat to break into the top3 at the biggest shows and win some of the smaller shows.

yep, not sure about that branch placing either...  although, in a tight race for a placing, backs are the difference maker sometimes and/or condition too.
