damn this guy is a monster. these are pics from the west palm show mike did (go mike!) of tony freeman guest posing. he is a walking eclipse. why oh why is the ifbb not rewarding this guy?! damn. sorry the pics look small i was almost right at the stage.

front double biceps

oooops double front double biceps, sorry guys
-
damn it man
-
most muscular
-
side chest
-
What show is he getting ready for?
-
side tri
-
not sure about his next show. mc said he was 6'-2" and competes at 300 and tonys offseason is 310 or so.
the guy was in good shape. he was freaking huge and a nice guy.
-
Good pics, Tony is lookin' Big.
-
I personally think he is a contender for the O, in 2007 ;)
i would say he really is missing nothing and has bigger calves than ronnie. this guy can get a little bigger and stay just as shapely. great symmetry.
-
Very impressive. Maybe the IFBB is not sure if they want another mass monster reign. They will most likely give Cutler the nod a few times, and then decide.
-
the dude is a freak.

X-FRAME
-
they have a special on him in this months MD badass xframe
-
Actually there are two E's in Freeman :D
-
Now that's a guest poser 8)
-
there is absolutely no reason why this guy can't be Mr. O in a couple of years.
-
Damn looks like he made some major improvements!
Thing is come contest time he looks a little small but hopefully with the new mass he will be great.
-
he's gotten better every year. he competes at like 280 or so. he does need to put on another 10 lbs. and then he'll be the man. great shape and frame. just needs to fill out a bit.
he's similar to gunter, but has a better structure.
-
I talked to him back stage at the show,he said he was 305. Absolutely one of the biggest & widest BB'ers I have ever seen. He was a frigging monster.
-
Freeman is preparing for the Texas Show and will be 300 on stage. He is not playing with anyone , He is serious and has been denied some placing and with class took his lumps and kept it moving. At the guest posing in Atlanta he stood next to Ronnie and look fantastic- I have seen Ronnie guest pose for years and he owns everyone - not this year, Freeman is for real!
no MORE 280 for Freeman - you asked for it now he is going to give it too you.... 300 with shape and symmerty and class with no attitude or threats , he always stops to speak or to give advice.
Dareem
Phil
Freeman
Henry
Nice to see some marketable bodies coming in to play!
-
looks excellent
-
zack, he is already 300+ with no gut.
also, he was really cool. i asked for an autograph and he was like "ofcourse". we talked for a couple minutes about his placings and why they are not looking at him more. this will change. if not toney said he might as well go and flip burgers.
can be mr olympia

I see him from time to time in the gym (La Fitness in Pembroke Pines), nice, quiet, trains hard with good form. Good luck to Toney.
-
great great pics my friend!!!!!!!
(wow was i ever impressed when i saw Toney in person, my jaw hit the floor he was that fricking huge)

That little guy with the funny name-Eryka Badui-is looking awesome in those pics.

Freeman
didnt he tear his right pec at one point?
-
Too thin to win too light to fight.
You are a wang. That guy is incredible. he gets fvcked by the judges on a regular basis
-
Toney has always had one of my favorite physiques. I always felt he deserved better placings. It's just that the competition is so tough at these shows that he tends to get lost in the shuffle.
-
It's time he gets some reconigtion. The guy is great.
-
this guy doesn't have a website!??!?!?!
-
this guy doesn't have a website!??!?!?!
im going to contact him thru vpx.

:o :o :o Awesome pic!!!
-
Tony got alot of props on here this past year. That pec seems to be healing. I think that was the only reason he was held back. The get gets screwed big time. Look great!

I forgot all about the pec.. gee its heeling well, barely noticable in that shot... I bet Federov wishes his would heal that well.
-
Trust me Toney Freeman time will come..........Bet on It! ;)

Wow, thanks guys
Now I don't feel so alone in this cold cruel world. I want to clear a few things up. I no longer work with ALR haven't since 03' NOC. We still cool though, what up dogg!! I'm now working with Tony Aponte out of Seattle. We met May 05' and officially started working on this Dec 05. The results speak for themselves. I currently have a website under construction will release the name soon. I also can be reached at www.thenewpeacesymbol.co m and of course www.vpxsports.com.
I'm having so much fun in the gym because one I feel really good and two I'm finally reaching my potential.Yet maintained my lines. Now in AUG-SEPT. I WILL BRING IT TO THE STAGE!!!
Peace out and "DON'T HATE"

Toney can be My Olympia imo! 15 lbs more mass + ripped to the bone = Mr O

Toney you look awsome. You got screwed big time last year! We are all rooting for you!!! Take care of that pec and dont sacrifice that x frame in the name of mass!!!! Looking great!
-

I definately agree. However if I were T3 I wouldnt sweat on it being 2006.. 2006 is a foregone conclusion.. I would concentrate doing the damage (competitively) in 2007 ;)
-
He looks more impressive than anyone in person because he's huge and tall. However he has too many flaws to be Mr. O.

besides the pec (which is healing pretty well, you must admit).. give us some examples of his flaws?
-
his arms lack peak, high calves. Short forearm insertions.

Toney,
Excellent to see you here. Toney has always been a cool pro, and humble and nice. I have no doubt that when Toney goes on stage in August - September, we will see vast improvements from the past!
-

you raise some valid observations Bast175 ... I do believe that his strengths outweigh those weeknesses, remembering that every previous (and current) Mr O has had their weeknesses that they shield/hide/minimise infront of the judges.. Lee Haney, had the same weeknesses as Toney Freeman.
-
Most underrated bodybuilder of all time.
-
Toney looks great. I saw him at the Arnold expo and he was without a doubt the most impressive pro in person.

Besides genetic disadvantages in which he can not control. What other flaws does this guy have?

None?
But neither do Chad Mower.
Bast raises valid observations, none of which could be said to be enough to hold Toney "spelling Toney with E" Freeman from becoming a Mr Olympia.
He is that good.

arms that big dont need a peak, and you will also notice that the other 2 "weaknesses" he has he shares with Ronnie C. His forearms also have short insertions and his calves are pathetic. Toney out weighs him and has a stomach and waistline Coleman would kill for
-
you gotta see Toney in person to appreciate what an aesthetic freak he really is
backstage at the show Toney was pumping up to guest pose
like i said my jaw hit the floor
combination of freaky mass and aesthetics.............. ...........
should be a top tier bodybuilder for sure!

pathetic his calves are not. they are huge but he has blak mans calves but they are separated and dont look so outtta place as ronnies twigs.
-
Ever year Toney seems to look better and better, every "weak spot" he had he has improved upon. I believe it was 2yrs ago or so in flex Toney said within the next 5yrs or by the time he was 40 (i don't remember which?) he could be the next mr O. after Ronnie, he seems to be coming in under the radar like Ronnie did before he busted out big.

Welcome aboard Toney. You looked fantastic at the show, but I would have liked to have seen less of the "sunglasses". 8) ;)

I think the same thing. Unfortunately the system is fvcked. It seems to me you get judged once in the IFBB and that perception stays with you for life. The knock on Freeman (was) is he needs more upper body size and a torn pec. The pec Is looking better and he HAS put on a shitload of size. But come contest time it's like the judges don't even look at the guy, they say "oh yeah, Freeman...bad pec, needs size.....6th place." And it's not just him it's with everyone.
-
Besides Gunter, and Paul Dillett, Tony Freeman is the next Giant of the IFBB. it's time that a big man gets the Reward, too many Dwarfs in the Ifbb.

I think if he comes in shredded with the size he has now they can't place him out of the top 3 (in a show other then o or asc) unless 3 other top guys are at their all time best.

pathetic his calves are not. they are huge but he has blak mans calves but they are separated and dont look so outtta place as ronnies twigs.
if you read my post, it was ronnies calves i was referring to
-
I think Toney only has one flaw.
The pec! If he can heal that and rebound like Levrone did he has a great shot at the title. If the IFBB was going to judge contest fair that is. He has a great x frame awsome aesthetics and is tall. His calves are weak but so what they are better than the current Mr O's. His forearms have low insertions but they look fine to me. They do not look lacking in shots. I think he can address these issues (calves and forearms)and make a solid push for the top tier and at the least a major show win. I don't think anyone would have a problem with a career best Freeman taking a big show. Guy is vastly underrated!
15 lbs of mass in the right places with his best condition = unbeatable after Ronnie is gone.
-
I know with the increase in size - Toney has focused on increasing his size of the forearms and calves and we saw it on May15th at 300+
He is hard at work and will continue to be a major force in Augustn and Sept.
* The Quads soooooo Sic!

:o

I think he's already pushing it in the size department. Like 300lbs already.
-
Most pros haven't really figured it out yet but to have true size you need mass AND height. I'm sure some of the shorter guys would look good in a pair of big shoes, but it's hard to look at someone like Dave Henry as "big" when he is under 5'0.
But Toney is just a beast - big and tall.
hahahaha, i was just reading hisd article in the new flex while i was eating dinner and that guy has so much attitude it's not even funny, hahahaha, looks all of 4'11" in the pictures.
-
Haha there is a "bodybuilder" at my gym always giving everyone advice. Always showing off his deep ripped abs. Full thick arms etc etc
Only problem is he is legit 5'4.
Haha I chuckle every time I think of this dudes monster attempt to make himeself really wide as he cannot make himself tall. Short jacked dudes are a dime a dozen.Not a knock on the shorter fellas but come on. The tall guys are impressive!
-
I'm 5 8" with my shoes on. What a beast!

I bet he walks around with a very erect posture, making sure every single inch of those 5'4'' counts.
Remember, he's only 4 inches away from being legally classified a midget... 8)

Ha ha yep! I have nothing against short guys. But this guy is the typical know it all. I just want to yell across the gym " It ain't hard to add muscle when you are 2 feet tall". He told a kid at my gym who wants to compete that he should only do pull ups half way to maximize lat width....
The kid weighs 163 pounds and is 5"10. I went over to the kid when mighty mouse was yakking some crap at another kid and explained to him to purchase Arnold's book and join a bodybuilding site like Getbig. I then told him that guy was full of shit and he should be doing full ROM pull ups and concentrating on eating a ton plus heavy compound movements.
damn short dudes think muscle grows on trees!
-
after reviewing the shots i took, let toney jack the calves just a bit more(so no one can say shit!) and just a little more back dorian/ ronnie style and toney will conquer much. he was sporting striations on the quads, holy cow!!!
-
5'10 is tall for a bodybuilder - 6'2 is tall by any standard. The height alone is impressive. How many pros out there are that height? Not many.
Toney is absolutely unreal, next to Cutler my favorite bb'er, should be Mr. O.
-
He's 39 now. I see no reason why he can't be competitive for at least the next few years and crack a top spot at the Mr. O.
If he wants..... he has got 10 good years left in competitive bodybuilding
you gotta see this guy in person,freaky,aesthetic,huge
and looks at least 10 years younger than he is
(Toney has got that "wow" factor)
-
He is improving fast, he looks better than that pic posted earlier already. To me it was just his smallish chest which was lasking because of that tear, but he seems even to have sorted THAT out, and those legs are great, at well as his back, so he has every reason to aim for the top. Good work.
P.S. Also I noticed that apart from Dex he was the only one not to get dissed by Tamali in MD's AC report, lol, praise indeed!
