I guess you don't have to train legs to win the Arnold
-
???
Dude brought his legs up an incredible amount from when he first hit the scene. Totally deserved the win. I'm no fan of Kuclo, but he has steadily improved every year. He was robbed tonight big time! Should have been 4th.
Roelly and Ced were 2 weeks out still.

1 Brandon Curry
2 William Bonac
3 Luke Sandoe
4 Cedric McMillan
5 Roelly Winklaar

At pre-judging I had Bonac winning then his conditioning went backwards while Curry’s improved. Overall at the night show Curry beat him in every comparison.....including legs and when Bonac was called out for second place he knew it immediately.

Interesting. I didn't see Bonac during prejudging, but Curry seemed dense, peeled, and big w/tiny waist. Hard for me to imagine Bonac was as dry as him during pj and then showed up at night like he did (not terrible, but far less together than BC).
I also think just structure-wise, if both are on with conditioning that Curry has the better physique now....especially midsection. Dude has really improved the last few years, and kept his waist tight. That anabolic chicken in kuwait is working well for him. :-X
-
Thought the shorter fella had him beat. Especially from the back.

Do you still believe Bonac is better than a prime Levrone?
-
Was close. Cedric and Rolley got gifts.
-
Cedric was off.....Im shocked
-
IMO only, I think he deserved the win. Bigger guy than Bonac, smaller waist, better structure.
Legs dont look bad IMO, Williams are better (maybe not as cut) but its not a bodypart contest.

If Shawn Rohden had done the show, it could have been an awkward 3. place finish :-X
-
Grew a lot since 2004:
-
Rafael Brandao got screwed ...should have been top 5

Another contest that's gone to shit.
None of these guys really should be in contention for the top 6 in a show this big.
-
I prefer Williams physique and Brandon’s biceps look VERY SUSPICIOUS.

So what if he brought them up..they still don't match his upper body
-
good for brandon
seems to have a solid work ethic
i like bonac's look better but my just a getbigger behind a computer screen
-

They're not a glaring weakness anymore, and his legs are dense and shredded. He won fair and square IMO, and both Ced and Roelly got their placings based on their names and past shows.

I have seen Bonac in person. He is a REALLY short guy; saying 5’6” would be generous.

IMO best physique on that stage was Rafael Brandeo. Damn near flawless. With more thickness (like no more than 15lbs) this kid will unbeatable. Second coming of Bob Paris.

Is that the guy that Chic referred to as looking like Kuclo's "little brother" when they were posing next to each other? Chic said something like "if ya wanna know what you'll look like in 5 years look to your right" (it was actually Chic's right, the guy's left)
Same dude Coach?

So, be like kuclo and can’t win shows?
Nice guy, has huge potential but at this stage I don’t think he can get it done (kuclo that is)

Can't remember if that was the same guy or not. Camera was at a distance when Chic made the comment, and I wasn't paying close attention at the time.
Dude looks good on his own there though for sure!

Agreed, not huge and bloated like some of the other guys on stage but has a balanced and complete physique.
-
Seeing the list of competitors, my first thought was this contest had to be a revived NY Pro, Night Of Champions, or some other 3rd tier show.

Yup, that dude was on another level. He just wasn't thick enough.

Yea he could use a course in CPR too. McCarver never had a chance.

this. kid was robbed. cant believe he finished behind Kuclo, Rolly Polly and Cedric (clear gift).
-
Curry's legs are fine. His upper body may be the best in bodybuilding. Bonac looks narrow and bunched up standing next to him.

I think Curry looks top heavy and needs to focus on legs going into the Olympia. I thought he was lucky to get the nod over Bonac but guess he has paid his dues and now is his time.

Agreed. I see this kid in the gym every day and he's nothing short of impressive. He's only 25 and has nothing but time.

:o hopefully he does everything he needs to in order to keep that waist as tight as possible, and never gives it up for size.
not only will his physique be better, but he will have more longevity, like Dexter Jackson he can compete at the pro level for another 25 years.

Best upper body in bodybuilding..lol..whate ver

got to give it to curry. I thought he should have hung his thong up years ago, but he kept soldiering on and got a major win.
is he another product of the camel crew?

Camel crew is overrated
Can’t even get ramy conditioned enough to win

Ouch....that was harsh even by GB standards.

Rafael Bradao looked like a statue and was 5th in my opinion

Gayor!!! Good to see you Sir!

Brandao needs more back detail to be serious threat.
-
brandon curry looked slightly bigger than jay cutler afterwards.

Brandon Curry improved in the last 2,5 years from Show to Show. If he can go on like this int he next 6 months, it could be a "open Mister Olympia-Contest". Shawn Rhoden had a great structure and good Quality muscles if he is in shape (like last time). Curry beats him in most parts of the upper Body. If Brandon Curry, come at the same weight at the Arnolds but 2 % better Condition, it´s possible he win a Sandow. He is close now, but a Little more improvement he Needs for the "real deal". If Heath ever will Comeback to the Olympia stage i believe it´s not before 2020, because of his midesection surgeries.
