Title: Mike Kefalianos 9th?? Cmon now
Post by: littleguns on March 08, 2012, 09:45:04 AM
So I will jump on the hater bandwagon but how did he get 9th? Judging by just the video of night show, looked tight, shredded

9th?? Not saying he should have won but perhaps a better placing over Beyeke and Curry??

he is always in condition. Not the best shape but way better than branch. He is used to getting shafted.
He did have a nasty lump on his ass.

yeah,  the judges rewarded a streamlined athletically built and symmetric bb as the winner...... ::) ::) ::) ::)
he was in condition.... even better then Carcrash Warren.... and has a better structure... not the best , but a whole lot better then that goblin on hgh.....

do you see that the judging doesn't make sense????
they go for a hard in condition bb with crappy structure as a winner over dudes with good structures....
then out of the top 5 they do the complete opposite!
choosing better structures over conditioning and mass..... beyeke and curry..... over mike....

Will be interesting to see Kefalianos directly compared to Warren & Beyeke at the Aussie Pro next week, assuming they are top 3.
Soft-Beyeke and No-Back-Branch will have their work cut out for them compared to a guy possessing a great back & superb conditioning.

...and this is why you won't get an answer as to why judges dont get involved in the explaining of their decisions after the show.

they would have to exaplain why they thought mike did not have the muscle to compete with the top 5 guys firstly. secondly they would have to explain why his conditioning was so "off" and thirdly, if they start going on about "structure" they would then have to explain why branch got 1st, lol.

Like i said before...his waist is to wide making him look blockey...horrible look ...
only in some poses bro...
because he has thick obliques....
in bdb he actually has a decent taper! FAR better then branch.....
if i were to judge, i would have him above branch!
his conditioning also was better... more crisp!
he should have been top 5! better then curry and beyeke.... who need to learn to come in conditioning....
Branch imo NOT even top 5.....
mike should have been called out to battle it out with Pak and Dex for the 4th or 5th spot....
Title: Re: Mike Kefalianos 9th?? Cmon now
Post by: MORTALCOIL on March 09, 2012, 03:34:02 AM
Considering that Branch won, Kefalianos could really have a case saying that he should have placed anywhere between 1st and 15th. Judges are a fuckin' joke. But he really suffers from having that long abdomen with his weakest part being his chest and weak lat spread. That midsection is awful but it doesn't seem to hurt Branch who has an even worse one. He also misses quite a bit of detail on his back given the really good conditioning (ala Branch also).

Corrupt bullshit.

If you go with mass/conditioning then guys like Mike, Paco, rape Branch. Structure and proportions then Wolf, Beyeke, should be top.

Zero consistency.

Wolf brought the best package by far at the AC. Far far better structure, more mass, drier than circus boy Branch.

Best poser..... ::)

Title: Re: Mike Kefalianos 9th?? Cmon now
Post by: OptimusPrime1980 on March 09, 2012, 08:41:22 AM

indeed!
Wolf was the best that night...
sure its a subjective sport... BUT there are certain guidelines.... and certain ideal proportions..
proportions = WOLF
symmetry = WOLF
mass = WOLF
conditioning = WOLF ....
just because branch has fugly skin and spiderveins does not mean he is in better condition... his back was actually very bad....i agree with you here jaime, even on conditioning wolf had him beat...
Wolf was the biggest dude on stage.... widest shoulders, tightest and smallest waist.... best sweep on the legs...

no matter how you look at it.. branch is a carcrash of bodybparts... torn bodyparts....
and people who always complain about wolf his calves.... it's his ONLY flaw!
and he who has the least flaws wins the show....
Also Evan was FAR better then branch.... and even Pak was better....
i seriously had branch out of top 5.....
If i were Wolf i would have been sooooooooooo pissed... i would have started a riot man! these guys are way to easy going..... fuck it! say what you feel, bb is boring as hell!!!
when you posses one of the best built bodies in the world and you lose to obi wan kenobi on steroids.....
you have the right to complain and talk shit!

but seriously why even bother? why compete anymore , if i were wolf i would say fuck you all.....
go and guestpose.... make money of my body ... without competing.... it's not like he can improve on his built anymore..... what's he to do up the dose further???? lol....

i hear a MD contract is the way to a pro show win. i also hear he must first do a lot of free work on their forum and prove to be "loyal" by only posting their exclusively, aka Antoine Vaillant style  ;)

after about a year or 2 of proving he has a fan base, with multiple threads on the MD forums and ONLY the MD forums all reaching past 10 pages in length AS WELL AS doing a few free clips for MD on some training, only then will he be placed on contract and then see better placings.

ask roelly and grandma how much free work and time they had to provide before finally getting a contract.  ;)

1. post exclusively and daily on the MD forums and no where else
2. provide picture updates and free videos
3. points 1 and 2 for a consecutive 2-3 years straight

= contract and better placings.

muscle quality as a result of drugs with foundation aka many years of abuse and training is very good

BUT his structure is almost as worse as it could get

i agree 100% with you bro....
but donīt you agree that if they let a guy like branch win.... it then does not make sense to have a dude like mike 9th!
mike has structural problems , yes.... but not as bad as branch...
the AC showed us that the judging is nothing more then a political game of interest.......
and yes i agree with you that bodybuilding today is DEAD, and why people have the need to compete is beyond me....
back in the day is was cool..... now itīs just dead.....
i mean you can have the best structure in the world , and conditioning as well..... wide as a house, tightest smallest waist on stage.... and then lose to a roided up hobbit.....
stupid... "sport"

mike K is just small everywhere not to mention extremely short with poor structure

does mike have access to top quality pharma bolics and gh? yes

does mike stimulate all the muscle and eat what he should? yes

will he ever place well in the IFBB? no it doesnt matter how lean you are if you dont have the structure, you won't place well

Just so you all know a bit of history,when I met mike 21 years ago,he said it was a dream to play at the Mr.O,he was only training then about 2 years. So we are happy his dream came true not once but twice,he's not out to get top 6,we are being realistic,he'd be happy placing top 10. We know what goes on "behind the scenes" he's going to keep playing as long as he can,improve in his placings because he loves it!

From the back he pretty much wins the show. Even his arms look great in this shot and his calves are very good. I guess hie's just short and weird looking. A proper bodybuilder though.

That's your typical getbigger: "I don't like pro BB..."  "I'm not a fan of pro BB..." "I'm grossed out by pro BB..."  "But I go to competitions & expos, spend my money collecting BB magazines & videos, spend my free time on bodybuilding forums... and I can name the top 50 body builders for the past thirty years!  

Like I said, typical schmoe. ::)

you got a yes, yes, yes but a big NO in the end

i spent a lot of money on bodybuilding- yes
i really like/love the idea of bodybuilding
i consider myself as a bodybuilder and like to be around other bodybuilders male and female rather than among those average people giving a shit about their body/look and never get control over their bodies

i also spent a lot of money for the things you mentioned (dvd s magazines....)
i think it s nothing bad about watching other athletes to motivate yourself for own performance no matter if you are a bodybuilder or a basketballplayer

BUT BUT maybe you get my point this way

today i rather buy a copy of the 1988 Mr O video than receiving a copy of the 2011 Mr O video, because i feel that the look of todays pros is disgusting while the look of the pros until mid 90s was very inspiring and motivating

i think the original idea of sculpting the body to the best possible and presenting it in a artistic way got totally lost in todays cult/freakshow

today it s like the best chef is no longer the one wo creates the food in the best of taste but rather in the food in the biggest amount

and this is a cultural thing happening in every aspect of life

i agree 100% with you bro....
but donīt you agree that if they let a guy like branch win.... it then does not make sense to have a dude like mike 9th!
mike has structural problems , yes.... but not as bad as branch...
the AC showed us that the judging is nothing more then a political game of interest.......
and yes i agree with you that bodybuilding today is DEAD, and why people have the need to compete is beyond me....
back in the day is was cool..... now itīs just dead.....
i mean you can have the best structure in the world , and conditioning as well..... wide as a house, tightest smallest waist on stage.... and then lose to a roided up hobbit.....
stupid... "sport"
btw i love bodybuilding..... to me it just died somewhere late 80's early 90's...... and i like to remember it for what is was....COOL....

i think you have exactly the same thoughts and feelings about bodybuilding like me  ;)

i started when it was cool to be a bodybuilder , it was the time when arnold as conan was more mainstream and anybody wanted to be big and strong and masculine, the typical superhero
now i really suffer because bodybuilders are no longer considered superheros regarding their looks and looking "cool" like it was in the times of Arnold to Berry de Mey . But i can t quit after all those years of dreaming about the perfect body just because the cult is a mess and like you call it drugged up hobbits win
even the idea of living healthy train hard and looking good is perverted into a "balonie" - buisness for example by the supplement industrie or something like " men s health" magazin with "naturals" on covers and promoting the troja version of pretty boy bratt pit as the stereotype of new age hero

fuck- it s frustrating me

i dont want to give up bodybuilding after decades just because the enviroment is so dark and no light at the end of the tunnel insight!

yes bro we do.....
when i was younger and started to compete.... i got to know some top guys.....
that kinda ruined it for me..... they were great guys, and very helpfull.... but i got to see the truth behind the cult....very early in my life....saw a lot of things... dark and sick things!
i have no problem with steroids and hgh..... but man there is stuff going on.... SICK!
so i just kept training for myself.... i really love bodybuilding and the science behind it , the PED's ....
i learned a LOT!
but the physiques just do not appeal to me anymore.... i like the 80's physiques....
you mentioned berry de mey... he is my all time favorite.... that is a perfect physique...
no need to het any bigger then that...
also me being tall, and the fact the goblin look is rewarded these days, competing makes no sense....
and what do you win with it anyway?????? nothing.. lol....
and after the recent AC... i have seriously lost ALL interest in PRO-bodybuilding.... it's dead...
amateur shows are way more fun.... and have better physiques also....

We know what goes on "behind the scenes"

i know you talked about "freedom of speech" but there is a line to be drawn here if you dont want to kill your husbands dreams forever and it starts with not talking about "behind the scenes" and especially not bringing Mike into this by typing "we".

these forums are read by people that have control of your husbands placings.

lee priests wife, the south african, single handedly killed what was left of lee on the MD forums by ALWAYS...ALWAYS!! making sure she was there to reply to every single person on the internet on every single forum, saying anything negative about lee. where she had moderator powers, she would delete posts. she would also slip in her "behind the scenes" remarks like you have done, against the ifbb.

his wife ran the lee priest name into the ground and lee didnt do himself any favors either whenever he posted.

you will for the most part, want to stay out of the spot light making politic comments like these if you dont want Mike in the "bad books."

by now, your posts have already been read, and can assure you, are already starting conversation.

play the game and play it right. you are becoming the new lee priests wife lately after all his shows!

i hear a MD contract is the way to a pro show win. i also hear he must first do a lot of free work on their forum and prove to be "loyal" by only posting their exclusively, aka Antoine Vaillant style  ;)

after about a year or 2 of proving he has a fan base, with multiple threads on the MD forums and ONLY the MD forums all reaching past 10 pages in length AS WELL AS doing a few free clips for MD on some training, only then will he be placed on contract and then see better placings.

ask roelly and grandma how much free work and time they had to provide before finally getting a contract.  ;)

1. post exclusively and daily on the MD forums and no where else
2. provide picture updates and free videos
3. points 1 and 2 for a consecutive 2-3 years straight

= contract and better placings.

the end.

Apparently you don't know what you're talking about. When did, if ever, a pro try to get get a contract by posting on a forum? What you wrote is laughable and makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. You mean to tell us that guys like Feroce, Burneika, Beyeke, Abiad, Pakulski, Alvisi, McMillan, White, J.Jackson, Nunn, Alves, Curry, Haley and many others who get good placings (and wins) have been pouring countless daily posts on forums??

bullshit....
it is all about ASSKISSING....
and just like you need connections to drugs, you need connections to place good...
look at the AC for gods sake.... tell me that isn't proof the ifbb is all politics!
same goes for the magazines....
and why in the hell would you want to appear in one of these dumbass magazines??
i never read one anymore..... today with internet you do not need magazines!
if i were a pro , who looked decent ... i would go and talk shit... have a big mouth... be brave and speak my mind... like Kamali.... he did quite well doing that... people talked about him! good or bad, but any attention is a way to make money....
those battles with him and titus..... GOLD! you do not see that anymore....
i remember seeing these two in flex all the time... not because they placed so well...

competing does not earn money, does not earn prestige because everybody knows it's all politics, does not earn respect from fellow competitors for the same reason, politics.... so wtf compete...?????
for yourself???? so one can say hey, i am mr. so and so....
really i don't get it anymore...
i just watched the old mr.O '88 tape..... i cried man.... those were times...

i am actually sick of PRO bodybuilding....
the AC i watched the pics from the CLASSIC bodybuilding class.... THAT are physiques!!
also the amateurs.... some great physiques...
i think more and more athletes will jump to classes like that... CLASSIC/PHYSIQUE.....
and the PRO division will be the class for the gay musclemen worshippers.....
i mean how else can the hobgoblin on roids win the AC.....? bald, goatee, the rough oilworkers look.... the gay mans fantasy....

Classic physique would be good though, maybe bang a weight limit on it for height so that people have to try and come in proportioned. Not too low just so they don't fuck their structure up with too much mass like Branchy. You would see more individual structure then strong and weak points.

Pregnant belly shouls get you auto last place.

No seo.

I wish it was a joke, i'm 100% sure Branch got that trophy because he doesn't mind dicking old queens for a trophy.

yeah somehow branch seems creapy.....
well,
classic bodybuilding in europe has these guidelines...
i think the formula is your lenght in cm... for me that would be 189 - 100 that is 89 + 10 = 99
so i would be allowed to weigh 99 kilos on stage....
that is about 220 ponds ....
does not seem much , but in condition can look awesome!
and berry de mey when getting his 3rd place at the O, was only 223 pounds at 6'1....
i personally think 240/250 would look awesome with my height and frame....
but really not more then that!!
