Something wrong with Dexter's left arm?

Sure looks like it. No definition, color is off, and can't see the vein like it's swollen or full of oil.

Arm looks infected. Oil.

Quads and calves are terrible too.

No way Kev all the way! ;)

Roelly is a beast but Bonac is close and his legs are huge.
Title: Re: Arnold Australia Webcast - Kevin Video

Bonac's torso is just too damn short.

He's got Wolf's calves?! Nerve damage? The Blade has dulled? The End is Nigh?

What a mess. Everyone looks like shit except Bonac and Roelly. Dexter is falling apart. Blown out abs and melted left arm.

Classic Physique for the win.

That Luke guy looks pretty good too and Hide is diced. Man your right about Dex even his face looks different.  Battle between Bonac and Roelly.

Oops you're right, I forgot to mention, Luke Sandoe looks great. Good condition and small waist Aceto did a good job with him.

Give the guy the comparisons. This is what I hate when a newer guys doesn't get them.

He should bump Dex.

What does the back look like? Looks like Juan Marquez from the 90s in that shot.

There's a 3rd pic of Kevin posted by Nick's Strength and Power on his instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BgaaV_ulIdD/?hl=en&taken-by=nicksstrengthpower (https://www.instagram.com/p/BgaaV_ulIdD/?hl=en&taken-by=nicksstrengthpower)

Well, Kevin looks worse than he did last year. Especially from the back. Oh well.

Don't know why they've got Rollie up there with Bonac & Dex... Though Hide had Roelly beaten easily. Roellys just too smooth, as usual.

I'd have 1st bonac, 2nd hide, 3rd dex (even with that arm and thin quads.. At least he's lean, although tie-ins at glute/ham are blurry and thin), 4th Roelly.... Rest ???

You can really see how the nerve damage has affected wolf's delts and chest. Wish I still had my textbook that showed which c-spine discs affect which parts of the shoulder, chest,& arms (& back I suppose, but didn't look into that as much), to see what part of wolf's neck was affected.

Kevin didn't compete last year. He last competed in 2016 (September). Anyway, he tried to beef up and he did, but he compromised the good conditioning he had in 2016. He's 10-15 pounds too heavy here.

Back in Kevin's day those guys had a polished look that you will never see again.

Roelly is a huge mass of bloofyness that will never be ripped

Bonac will win but genetically he will never beat Phil

Dexter should consider retiring. He's starting to show signs of wear. Legs are first to go

Wolf's upper body looks very small. Legs look good surprisingly

Kevin god love him gave it a good try. Made his come back 10 years too late. Props to him.

Not being all nostalgic but any of the top 5 guys back in the 90's would shame these guys with their conditioning with the exception of Bonac.

Dennis is the last person to comment on stomack's.
In his day he had a quadruple bubble gut.
Kevin is in another dimension for him aestetic wise.

Arms and delts are still pretty impressive on Kevin. The rest is not looking too good. Better than last years O atleast. Can't be healthy at that age though.

Yes something happened to Dexters arm. Infection or muscle tear that caused some swelling. Doesn't look like a tear but who knows.

Interesting.  I keep reading people posting that Roelly is in the mix for the win at these comps and I cannot for the life of me see it.  He looks out of shape every time.  I think people's ability to see what you're saying there has diminished a lot on this board.  I guess maybe they don't remember when you could see a striation.

Kev did okay there.  He has the distended stomach but that was in the post.  You don't go to a powerlifting gym and lift with a bunch of strength dudes and be on the gas properly with an intention to be as big as you can AND keep your tiny waist.  

Fact is, Kev wouldn't be half as bad if he didn't have a busted chest from what looks like several tears.  He has become quite asymmetrical as a result of it.  It throws off the flow of his upper body, which if it was up to scratch would at least take your attention away from the weakpoints.

Based on these shitty pics I would say Roelly should win. Lighting looks shitty and the guys are all off it looks like. Dex is falling apart and his arm reminds me of Cutler when he lost against Phil. Need to see better pictures. Wolf's legs are pretty good (except for calves as usual but not much he can do about that) and he needs more time.
