people talk about wolf's legs but evan's legs look better from the front, just more fuller.
branch looks like shit. i can give a damn if he is using ronnie's 2003 stack.
wolf has good lines like curry but evan is the best bber on that stage.

Evan looks the best in these pics.

Ben Pak looks great................... .holding his own quite well.

Evan is carrying some serious mass. Branch is literally fading away. I think Wolf maybe the runner up. Tough line up.

hahaha, callouts were a joke. evan should have been pulled to the side. same ole political BS in the bbing. chick and dan were the worst shopping branch to the online audience. look at branch's fucking right leg, it's not back.

It's Branches to lose.

Wolf looks spot on, probably his best showing. great conditioning, fullness, and hardness. Evan looks good in some poses as well, but i think lacks the structure to be great.
-
this is how i see it
wolf
evan
ben p
branch
dexter

Branch doesnt win a single pose in those pictures, 3rd out of 3 in every one IMO. He is horrifically put together and adopts a ridiculous wide stance for a reason known only to himself, yet he has more or less been guaranteed 1st place. Nothing positive will ever come of awarding him the wins yet no change will ever come of all the bitching that accompanies it. The powers that be are content with the way things are and see no reason to change anything, that much is evident. And no one will be held accountable for the judging either.

When did Gustavo go drug free?
-
looked like branch cranium was going to pop off a few times, he cured it by shaking his head and various twitching like pounding his chest a couple of times, and his face looked like if he was facing a storm so powerful he couldn't close his mouth.
anybody else noticed this, and what is causing this?
GH15?
-
To me Evan and Dex looked the best. Evan's chest is non-existent in the FDB pose, and his abs blurry on the abs and thighs pose...great BDB pose, excellent detailing top to bottom.
-
Evan is one of my fav's. But, in the FDB pose his right pec is so weak it almost looks torn.
-
It's Branches to lose.
midget Illuminati...
-
Centopani's and Pakulski arms look like shit in fdb, zero detail.
Compare Wolf's and Branch quad size. ::)
In most muscular Pakulski look bigger than Wolf.

Curry and Beyeke best shape of the contest, but too smooth to groove...
Hopefully it's between Evan and Wolf, branch looks like something I flushed down the toilet last night...Pakulski looks good in some poses, odd in others.

Evan looks good, however, his gut has expanded a fair bit from previous years.

Worst show ever
I would like to point out that these pictures are from a lower angle and don't show the best comparisons.
Wolf looks good but has ZERO calves.
Branch is thick all over but looks like shit, missing half a leg and his lats were fucked
Evan should win IMHO

He is always like that on stage. It's a very particular thing for Branch, it's most likely way too much diuretics.
-
I gotta give it to Pakulsli...no one saw him coming....appears to be top 5...
-
wolfe's taper is ridiculous for a white guy.
-
evan has stage 1 palumboism despite the fact that he rarely competes.
i cant see him going anywhere but down because palumboism is a progressive disease. The body parts that are still full will hollow out in the next couple of years- the vascularity will increase and those pecs will never improve
-
Can Wolf not a afford a few hundred cc's of synthol for those pixie stix calves?
-

Shut up.

Wow! I have to chose from 3 incomplete bodybuilders
I see Branch winning or Wolf

As long as he's white, then it's "out of sight".

wolf wins clearly, Evan fdb and fls are HORRID no pecs whatsoever. Ugly front relaxed. Stupid faces.
Branch looks like shit as usual.
Wolf wins.
-

too busy posting as gh15

Wolf 1st Place. Arnold has to let it happen, it would be such a travesty for it not to go down in such a manner.
-
oh and evan looks flat too.
branch is grotesque so narrow, melting back..if he wins this stinks.
-
All of them looking horrible
-

This plus Evan has no biceps in fdb.
Branch is something that should only be brought out at a cursed circus.

A lot of Branch hate on this thread, damn. Did any of you guys watch the pre-judging or just looking at these photos.
Branch, IMO, won this contest. Had the best condition by far. Has a lot more dense muscle than Evan. Especially in thickness front to back. Legs are the best out there, obviously. Structurally, Branch is the worst of the three and Wolf is the best. Evan has the most overall potential, because to me, that dude could still carry another 20 lbs of lean muscle. Still has work to do though and you gotta remember, Jay, Phil, and Kai are all not there at the Arnold.
Wolf is 2nd. Continues to improve. His back has improved (thank you Dennis James) and his lats aren't a glaring weekness. Again, speaking structurally, he's the best out there.
Evan in 3rd. He moved up from last year and made some sound improvements. He's not winning the O this year and he's not winning the Arnold so for all you thinking this was gonna be Evans year, just be patient. He may very well be Mr. O one day, but it's not happening in 2012. Note: I like Evan and think he is a great bodybuilder, but he still has more time to put in.
Ben Pakulski in 4th - I don't know if they'll give this spot to him, but that's how I saw it. Dexter was off and Ben looked in great condition. He needs to work on his back and also how he poses when he is facing the curtain. He just doesn't look comfortable hitting a RLS or RDB. Legs are a close 2nd to Branch's on that stage. Upper body still needs to come up, but you can tell he made a lot of progress.
Dexter in 5th - I think this spot should go to Beyeke really, but I don't see them placing Dex out of the Top 5. It's becoming more and more clear at every show though that Dexter is only getting older. He's had an amazing career, but I think it's time he hangs up the trunks. I hate seeing guys who get past their prime and then don't know when to let it go. This will be the case with Jay in 2012 as well. Dexter is never going to win an Arnold or Mr. O again. Nor will Jay... I think it's best they step down and leave the sport while still at the highest end of it as opposed to waiting till they drop out of the top 10 placings to do so.

Do a side by side with Branch and Wolf.
Or can someone post one?
-
Branch will win this....
-
i think its close between evan and wolf. branch is close based on his ab/thigh, side chest, and side tri.. but his structure is so horrid especially in both front and back double bicep poses.. plus with that right quad being all shrunken down i cant really put him ahead of those two guys. evans arms are phenomenal in every pose except they are horrid in the front double bicep. not sure whats going on there. from the back its evans clearly. from the front and side wolf seems to edge evan out by a bit. i am not sure how i would judge this ocntest. i might even have given it to dexter solely based on aesthetics alone. or gustavo if he was dry. ;D

Good pics. Branch packs a ton of muscle on that short stubby frame it just doesn't look right though. I can see giving him the mm award or something but he shouldn't win the contest.
1. Wolf
2. Evan
3. Branch
4. Paulski
5. Dex

i really don't get this evan hype shit
i understand it when it comes from the palumbo, PJay braun crowd who hope to be hangers on, i understand it when it comes from the all American white hopers- but i dont think this guy has what it takes- not this year, not next year, etc.
He has the palumbo look, just like his best friend PJay

Well just a bit shaper and hair more thigh size.

Branch has a wider waist than Wolf at about a foot shorter while wolfs lats are twice as wide. Branch looks horrendous all over, just thrown together. if he wins all the judges should be forced to go to specsavers for next year.
-
This is a tough show to call. No one is a clear winner. I'd go with Evan because he is balanced and conditioned. The judges will go with Branch though, which makes this Arnold even worse than last year. Kai should be kicking himself that he didn't compete the last 2 years, and possibly pick up two more titles.
-
Dex has the most pleasing physique up there.....He should be the winner. IMHO
-
Wtf happened to Gustavo B.? ??? Is he sick or something? :-X

Easy wins for Kai, but this is his fatal flaw, he will lose out on a east check, and still play 2nd fiddle to Phil.
-
Thanks for the pics, Tbombs!
These guys are all too damn blocky.....they all look the same.....except for Action Jackson.
Dex should take home the hardware.....just my 2 cents.
-
I get it why they pick Branch to win, but his body is a mess on my mind.
Bring back the '90s............
-
I get it why they pick Branch to win
I don't get it at all. Please explain.
-
people talk about wolf's legs but evan's legs look better from the front, just more fuller.
branch looks like shit. i can give a damn if he is using ronnie's 2003 stack.
wolf has good lines like curry but evan is the best bber on that stage.
QFT conditioning ALONE he is blowing them ALL outta the water

Seconded braaah!

evans gona take it. then wolf or dex
-
Good pics. Branch packs a ton of muscle on that short stubby frame it just doesn't look right though. I can see giving him the mm award or something but he shouldn't win the contest.
1. Wolf
2. Evan
3. Branch
4. Paulski
5. Dex
These are my same picks. very good.
-
They all look like crap. Insulin does that.
-
wolf wins clearly, Evan fdb and fls are HORRID no pecs whatsoever. Ugly front relaxed. Stupid faces.
Branch looks like shit as usual.
Wolf wins.
That's how I see it...but pro BBing judging is a fucking joke..so who knows

Nah I'm sayin my boy Evan looks awesome, I see him taking Wolf
And yes Branch should NOT be in top 5, Dex beats him >:(
-
brancj should not even be in top 3.....
look at the difference in shear mass when he stands next to wolf.... side chest , fdb.... really no contest... Wolf is a bigger and taller man.... with a far better structure.....
ok branch has conditioning.... but it's not like wolf is smooth or someting... wolf is in condition 2!
evan... also looks far better then branch....same thing... a bigger and taller bb..... with a better structure....
branch his waist looks awefull!
stubby limbs..... does not flow at all.......
todays shows are fixed man..... all about money and contracts.... politics....
i stopped caring long ago ....
it's official...
BODYBUILDING IS DEAD!

5 or 6 yrs ago badell was the toast of the town carrying dense ,muscle hardness all over esp,legs,arms,side leg shot was sick hams down,took too much time off to recover back to old self,,its like he went back to days before he made that jump 05 and up to the big boys territory.
-
In most muscular Pakulski look bigger than Wolf.
Agreed. And, Pakulski absolutely destroyed Wolf with regard to lower leg comparisons. Wolf had to be thinking, "Scheisse! Get me away from Herr Pakulski!"
-

injury or not wolfs calves are really bad considering how great his quads are,,,look tiny .
-
Pakulski looks good in some poses, odd in others.
Pak needs overall back thickness but his traps are particularly woeful. With a better back, I think Pak wins this thing.
Unlike a lot of folks here, I can't overlook Wolf's complete lack of calves. They look worse than the worst bodypart of any of the top 5, imo.
-
Bodybuilding has really gone downhill. None of these guys would have placed in the top 10 during the 1990s

X2......Dex is the only guy up there who represents pleasing shape.
-
A lot of Branch hate on this thread, damn. Did any of you guys watch the pre-judging or just looking at these photos.
Branch, IMO, won this contest. Had the best condition by far. Has a lot more dense muscle than Evan. Especially in thickness front to back. Legs are the best out there, obviously. Structurally, Branch is the worst of the three and Wolf is the best. Evan has the most overall potential, because to me, that dude could still carry another 20 lbs of lean muscle. Still has work to do though and you gotta remember, Jay, Phil, and Kai are all not there at the Arnold.
Wolf is 2nd. Continues to improve. His back has improved (thank you Dennis James) and his lats aren't a glaring weekness. Again, speaking structurally, he's the best out there.
Evan in 3rd. He moved up from last year and made some sound improvements. He's not winning the O this year and he's not winning the Arnold so for all you thinking this was gonna be Evans year, just be patient. He may very well be Mr. O one day, but it's not happening in 2012. Note: I like Evan and think he is a great bodybuilder, but he still has more time to put in.
Ben Pakulski in 4th - I don't know if they'll give this spot to him, but that's how I saw it. Dexter was off and Ben looked in great condition. He needs to work on his back and also how he poses when he is facing the curtain. He just doesn't look comfortable hitting a RLS or RDB. Legs are a close 2nd to Branch's on that stage. Upper body still needs to come up, but you can tell he made a lot of progress.
Dexter in 5th - I think this spot should go to Beyeke really, but I don't see them placing Dex out of the Top 5. It's becoming more and more clear at every show though that Dexter is only getting older. He's had an amazing career, but I think it's time he hangs up the trunks. I hate seeing guys who get past their prime and then don't know when to let it go. This will be the case with Jay in 2012 as well. Dexter is never going to win an Arnold or Mr. O again. Nor will Jay... I think it's best they step down and leave the sport while still at the highest end of it as opposed to waiting till they drop out of the top 10 placings to do so.
Interesting... I called the top 5 perfectly about 5 minutes after pre-judging...
Please Note: Metabolic told me I was delusional for some of the statements I made... Now knowing that I was dead on, I really can see how delusional I must be. ;D ;) ::)
-
i really don't get this evan hype shit
i understand it when it comes from the palumbo, PJay braun crowd who hope to be hangers on, i understand it when it comes from the all American white hopers- but i dont think this guy has what it takes- not this year, not next year, etc.
He has the palumbo look, just like his best friend PJay
I wouldn't say all this. You're comparin Evan to PJ Braun... that's not fair. PJ can't place top 5 on a National Level stage let alone the Arnold. Evan is in a different realm than he is.
-
X2......Dex is the only guy up there who represents pleasing shape.
he should have won
when i looked at the pics he had the best phsique
-
just my 2 cents on this.....
even thouugh i like branch, well he looked like crap!
dennis or evan should have won the contest.... easily
ben should have been a solid 3rdish
beyeke was smoother than a babies behind
Correa reminds me of paco bautista.... very odd shape...not pleasing to the eye
All in all a very crappy show.... bbing is all about politics, but hey take for what is worth....ALL ENTERTAINMENT!!!

comparing pics from different shows can be very decieving..... not the same light.... etc etc..
but he does look way smaller... deflated....
my guess is, he fucked up diuretics BIG time.....
makes you look smooth , and deflates the muscles as well... so you look twice as bad as normal......
his gut seemed less though.... lol.... ;D ;D ;D

I agree optimus, but you gotta consider the guys age here too. Hasn't competed in a few years either. I don't you're ever going to see this guy at the level he once was.
-
Looks like Gustavo cut out everything but the bare minimum this time around.. No insulin or HGH, just straight test.
-

dunno bro...
how old is Badell....?? not that old i think....
and lots of bb peak at 40.... or even over....
i think he fucked up big time.....
but yeah probably some stage rust as well.... lol...

pretty sure gustavo thought muscle memory would allow him to get back up to his previous size without using as much drugs as he previously did. he looks like he stayed away from insulin completely and only used mild doses of GH, if any at all. his physique actually looked awesome, phenomenal yesterday.. just holding water and not big enough to be compared to the top guys.. as far as aesthetics go though he was #1 or 2
-
the two comparisons of gustavo are with and without insulin
see how much tighter his waist is but his muscles have lost their pop
-

yes i think he used less slin... but none at all at that level would be silly to even consider...LOL
hgh , they all use the same doses more or less.... the all you can get your hands on doses... ;)
he fucked up diuretics... i am sure of that....
fuck that up and 2 things happen..... the liquid IN the muscles gets eliminated, so the muscles lose their pop... fulness.....
and water under the skins stays..... so you actually look smooth.....
so that makes a bb smaller AND smooth..... resulting in a disaster....
i think he went for a tight and streamlined package.... with less slin..... and just fucked up diuretics.....
if he hadn't he probably would have looked very good.. because his waistline looked a lot better.....
-
sometimes guys just dont want to use tha much drugs. gustavo took 2 or 3 years off completely. i dont think he was planning on coming back. he has a wife and a family. he placed top 3 at the mr. olympia twice. i think he felt pretty damn content with his success in bodybuilding and didnt care to use tons of drugs anymore. for whatever reason he got his motivation back, but i dont think it came along with the old willingess to inject as much as his body could tolerate. he has a very nice look right now. its a throwback to a previous era. hed have done very well at the olympias of the 1980's.
-
Beyeke easily the best structure and proportions. Just needs to be sharper in the future, hes smooth here.
Wolf looks great his back has improved!
Great detail in evans bdb
-
gustavo looks like a totally different person.

This was my point as well. He does look like he isn't using the everything but the kitchen sink regiment and he looks better for it. Goes to show that using all that shit doesn't necessarily mean a better physique. Sad part is the guy was top three but now barely a whisper about him anywhere.

his leg mass was most glaring ,but like everyone said he looked pretty good considering.look at his face is the most obvious change he looks younger in the face than other pics,looks healthy lol .

I concede you this point. His legs are noticeably smaller.

like i said, he still has fullness in many body parts, especially when you look from the back, but look at the front and you can see stage 1 palumbism clearly- then there is the issue of the calves which have as much oil as dericks arms and look ridiculous

excessive torso vascularity- check
little upper body separation- check
missing delts- check
no bicep/tricep separation whatsoever- check
missing pecs- check
derick style oily calves-check
Evan is like PJay (and reminiscent of palumbo) just with a bit better genetics- and not so overtly gay friendly - but in the end it is just a bunch of east coast guidos with no genetics trying too hard
-
todays pro bb'ing = anyone with most turdmass or insulinass wins.

evan has absolutely massive shoulders. his arms are ginormous as well. his chest, while a tad bit smaller proprtionally to the rest of his body, is still THICK. yes his arms look like shit in the front double bicep. but look at them in ever other pose. yes some shorter guys have more roundness to their delts but overall proportionally speaking nobody has shoulders that are significantly bigger than evans. there have been maybe a total of 5-10 pro bodybuilders in history who if you stood next to evan it would be OBVIOUS that the other guy had significantly larger delts than evan. look at pictures of him in the comparisons, he is MASSIVE. but that frame of his outmasses even such a thickly muscled body as his. he can easily add 30lbs to his physique and remain symetrical. literally, 30lbs. with his frame he could be bigger than markus ruhl. but even withsuch room to grow he still is as big as some of the biggest professionals today. certainly only about 6-7 guys can hold their own next to evan in that regard. from the side and even more so from the back he is extremely aesthetic. looks great from the front in the most muscular handclasped. just needs more width to his lats from the front with his arms raised and add some hardness and definition to those arms.. hell be solid 1-3 guy at the olympia for the next 5 years if he could accomplish all that..

the biggest loser in this contest is bb fans >:(..

The most amazing thing is how dry flex and Kevin look. Guys these days are a watery mess.
that is because today everybody can be a pro.....
it used to be the dudes who had the better structures who competed at high level....
today not anymore... with the abuse of hgh/slin anybody can be a pro... at a decent level....
so that is why you have these shitty line ups!
also a lot of dudes just quit because they do not want to turn into a bloated mess like branch.....
and the better physiques are not rewarded anymore.... i mean this AC.... wolf / evan behind branch?????
that is your answer right there....
they should reward lines and shape more then conditioning.... if you have 2 athletes.... both in conditioning... one slighty harder, only slightly....but with a crappy structure and shit for shape.... imo the more appealing bb should win... period!
it's BODYbuilding NOT MUSCLEMASSbuilding
i mean just look at a dude like branch..... who wants to look like him????? i think none of us here... and this is a BODYBUILDINGboard!!!!! that says a lot, when even the fans of the sport do not want to look like the topdogs of that "sport"
