Shawn Rhoden!
-
With that waist he deserves a good placement.
-
I know hes hailed as rhe 2nd coming of wheeker... but something about this guy just doesnt seem that impressive to me.
Seems like none of these guys have the muscular quality the 90s guys had... guess its that 'slin' look. Seems like their quality drops as they move from amateurs to pros instead of getting better..
-
Can't wait until he places ahead of Ramy again ;D
-
I hadn't heard of him til I checked results of 2012 O the morning after. Crazy shape, lacking thickness in some areas (back, chest) but mostly lacking sick conditioning. Looks like he's asleep all the time too.
-
In this pose he looks a lot like Martinez, but with deeper cuts and smaller waist

Not sure what years these are but Vic was a lot thicker and had biceps not oilceps.

Lol, my thoughts exactly. ;D
Shawn "Tired" Rhoden - Great supplement ad potential there.

I don't know man, some of these Men's Physique dudes are pretty "aesthetic"

It's that whole "Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream" look. Like he is disinterested. Also his muscles have no pop to them, unlike Wheeler. His shape is very similar, and that is about it.

and decent legs too, which... I'm always worried about
Frank, I'm sure there is some retouching here- it's a professional photograph. but who of our "heros" hasn't had a Photoshop done? This dude looks impressive as fuck. WHY YOU MAD, BRO?
-
A lot of people don't know much of a difference post processing photo software can make.
Put it like this..i can make a gym rat look like he belongs on stage. I can make top 10 guys look like mr Olympia.
-

oh a whole shitload! But literally every pro that's ever been photographed for anything has be retouched at one point or another.
anyway, I just wanted to stop in and offer another aesthetic physique. I'm not here to defend this dude's honor, since his body affects me and mine not at all.

You can see that if he jumped into the "big leagues", that his arms would lag behind and his waist would be kinda of wide.
This is a great photo of illustrating the "limits" of one's physique and what one looks like before that big jump. Right now, he looks excellent.

The photo you posted is beyond shopped its ridiculous. This wasn't a case of minor retouching and sharpening.
-
Roden looks watery. Not one vein can be seen in his chest, arms, or lats in that post.

Search him out for yourself, my dude. I have no dog in this fight. He's a well conditioned WBFF Muscle Model with a great FDB. That particular photo I chose has probably had some photoshop, but doesn't change what he actually looks like (and if you care so much, go see).

He's not jumping into the "big leagues." He was an IFBB Men's Physique pro who was told that he was too muscular, so he switched to the WBFF. BB size is not what this dude is after. I wouldn't call his physique limited, but what I'd say is irrelevant - I WAS JUST RESPONDING TO THE OP'S POST. I WAS SIMPLY SUBMITTING ANOTHER MAN WITH A BEAUTIFUL FDB.

So you think those legs look good, it makes you sound like some random girl on facebook making a comment instead of a pro who knows bodybuilding.

You know I am never responding with any seriousness to anything YOU ever post until we know what YOU look like, right? I have good legs. So do others. This guy has decent legs. The thread, however, is not about legs.
Let's see your legs, asshat.
Or your anything?
Am I still waiting til August 6th?
Oh wait...
-
Rhoden has damn near perfect symmetry..But this shot isnt the most flattering for his arms..i see no separation
He also has the charisma of a turtle
and 0/10 facial aesthetics..no homer

Looks like utter shit and whats up with the quads they look like DLB's!
-
Rhoden has the most pleasing physique to the eye of all top competitors today and is massive as well. Should be Mr. O.

Not O material with that conditioning, though shape is crazy. He must be 39 now? Pity he wasted half his prime years as a fat piece of shit.
As for thebrink, no one could have quads like DLB's. They are so horrible, square and fucking ugly they make me angry every time I see them.

meltdown

I want the trainer to stop saying ANYTHING until we see pics

Won't happen. I would go to Vince for advice on starting a business before I'd ask the Trainer how to improve my calves.

and they're prone to
not be manlets
for the win

U forgot this guy

It's a little unfortunate because I'm sure the guy looks plenty impressive without the Photoshop, but like this we're not able to accurately judge his physique. Its like autotuning Pavarotti
Sure, most photos have been retouched, but when even the background looks grainy, that's when it gets excessive
-
which one, leonardo, donatello...?

The most aestethic fdb is not in the top 3 or even top 20 that's for sure.
Like someone said, amateurs and european bodybuilders have better quality and look better.

You misunderstood me. There is a point in which some folks look good, and their flaws don't matter. This is at that point. But, if he ever decided to compete as a bodybuilder and not as a physique competitor, the fact that his arms are too small for his torso would be considered a flaw.
Right now, dude has the better look.
-
The guy in Lobstahs posts looks amazing. Ideal physique imo.

Yeah, I mean could his legs be bigger/better? Sure. But he's got a pretty dope bod. Probably the widest lats I've seen in a minute.
Anyway, even in shitty cell phone pics, dude looks pretty good.

I don't know. His forearms are mad sick. Remind me of Casey Viator's or Mike Mentzers in their prime. Huge and striated as fuck.

No hardness in those arms. They just seem THERE. Nothing stands out. Nothing's impressive, other than his tiny waist. His legs are thin and again, those arms have no vascularity, or any real definition. They look like 2 lumps made out of playdo. Where's the graininess? Put him next to any top guy from the 90's and he couldn't shine their shoes.
-

mens physique? Dude is a bodybuilder entering mens physique shows

Whats an "FDB" ? ???

I saw him training with Ronnie and Corey (212 guy) last yr and in person there's nothing special about his physique, people talk about Cormier but Rhoden is even worse
No intensity in his workouts and I know bbing isn't about strength he was struggling with 100 pound dumbells on incline ;D
If this is one of the best today then it tells u all u need to know about modern bbing

Needs to train with Dorian for a year.

I said this before. No real separation between his and tris. No real "pop" or definition to his muscles.
Some of these guys like him and Wolf just have no real pop to their muscles. Whereas Kai and Phil when they pose the muscles just have that "look".
I don't know. His forearms are mad sick. Remind me of Casey Viator's or Mike Mentzers in their prime. Huge and striated as fuck.
Yes, great forearms but take a look at the whole arm and it's relation to the upper body and taper It gives a big/wide upper body but small arms look. Also take a look at how the triceps and biceps look. Triceps look kinda flattish, but the whole arm is vascular.
Again, very ideal look when you are a physique competitor, which I believe is a better look than the bodybuilders of today.

A "Females Delicious Backside"

very wide dude.
very odd legs.
overall very killer physique.

Pretty much sums it up.

Add Cormier to that list. One of the best ever imo but in person Phil has more of a Wow factor
