Title: Met Bostin Lloyd today... ...and what's with the judging at the North Americans
Post by: theEsquire on September 01, 2013, 05:07:00 PM
So I met Bostin Lloyd today at my gym.  He was there training with his girlfriend.  Very approachable and humble.  Walked right up to me and asked if I competed.  Took me awhile before I realized who he was.  Said he was around 240, looking to compete at the New England's November 2nd and be a heavyweight.  All around big kid.  Say what you will about his videos, this kid has more perspective about the "bodybuilding industry" than the majority of people I've spoken with or see posting on boards/forums.  It's also refreshing to actually speak with someone who isn't trying to convince you he's on 600mg test and just trains hard and eats a lot. 

In other news, do NPC judges even read the rule book anymore?  How is it that the LHW winner has a torn pec???  Horrible.

Toney Freedman is a Pro and places well with a torn pec.

From what I have been told they don't mark you down anymore for a tear.

We don't. It only matters when the guys are very close, then the guy without the tear would get the nod.
