i don't see what the big deal about this guy is, he looks ok but his torso looks way too thin and long and he needs way more quad mass, he looks like a smaller version of Luke Wood to me, i'm not impressed.
-
But he looked so amazing standing all by himsefl!!!111111!!!eleven!!111
-
Sarcasm, I agree. He looks impressive when he is alone. However, at the show, he looked very average compared to Freeman, Stubbs (upper body), Atwood (except for the huge waist), Taylor, Charles, etc. He will be like a smaller Ruhl. A good BB with possibly some wins. He will never win the Mr. Olympia or ASC.

I am guilty, I got into the hype :'(

Sarc, Iv'e been meaning to ask you. Can you believe the power of the SQUAD catapulted Toney Freeman from an also-ran to first place and Mr.Olympia heir apperent? we are the true pro-creators.

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IMO next to Cutler, Tony is the best bb'er in the world, the judges have been listening to the SQUAD.

I am guilty of the hype, but think he still looked good enough to take fifth.

haha yes Groink !!!
you know the judges read the board and when they realised that Big Toney was SQUAD APPROVED, they gave him the first place !!
-
I disagree.
His waist is trump tight. His quads are huge....and separated. His calves need work, but they are not as bad as everyone thought based on the precontest pics.

His shoulders, chest and arms are frickin' HUGE!!! Look at that frickin' taper.

If he can keep his waist that tight and add thickness and some width to his back...LOOK OUT!!!
-

HAHA YES YES If only people knew the privelages of SQUAD membership. Like squeezing the counter girl's tits at the gym when you walk in and she doesn't even get mad.
-
He looks lighter than before.
Did he lose muscle mass or not.
Or just looks small on stage...
Anybody know whats happen?
-
Dennis looked good but he needs a bigger torso in his front double biceps pose
he still need a lot more muscle but he has great potential
-
he looks really small in this months Flex, they did a leg training article on him and his arms look 16 inches in it.
-
IF he does this, IF he does that. We can no longer predict how a new guy is going to do, unless he is a phenom, a la Flex Wheeler, Dex Jackson, Phil Heath. Look at what happened with Kamali, people were hyping the man up after his 2001 appearance, then they realized the man believed his shit didn't stink. look at the fat man now...
Dennis looks good, but if he gains weight (20 pounds) as somebody will say, he'll ruin his lines, which are great. Look at Jay Cutler when he first started out, he was still blocky, but had a better taper than he does now, but then he started the GH, and his chin and eyebrow ridge grew, and now he looks like a muscular refridgerator with arms. If Dennis goes the same route, which he probably will, he'll be an also ran, like Aaron Maddron (Mr. Intensity, anyone?). It will be good to see how he'll do,just wary of bbers and their followers believing their own hype, which then leads to a reality check.
-
Ether, no doubt his thighs are awesome. However, his chest and shoulders are overpowered by his legs. He would need to put on twenty pounds of muscle on his torse, keep the small waist and then he would be a contender. However, when you see him in the comparison poses, besides his legs his torso got washed out by even the smaller bb's like the due from Spain who got fifth. He is good, but he has a long way to go to be top five Mr. Olympia.

You know what guys, I'll go as far as to say that a shredded Chris Cook is better than Dennis

Chris Cook will never be shredded. but i agree :)
-
I have to disagree with all here, I think the kid is going to make some noise in a year or two. Excellent shape, separation and taper for a white dude. You don't see that very often.
-
He looks good, but until he chooses the right web guy, he'll never reach his potential :)
We'll have to see what happens as he grows. The greatest pros are the ones who become pros, add 20 pounds, and look better. The 3rd tier guys are the ones who add 20 pounds and look worse. Time will tell which one he is. He could be the next gunter, or the next Cook. We won't know for a while.
-
He can easily win a show in a year or so. He's German...and those mofo's never dissapoint! Markus,Gunther,and Arnold (Austria...germany..same shit! lol) It's the land of genetic wonders!
-
Cook will never be as good as Wolf. I think Wolf's quads are good, but he needs to bring up his calves and add back thickness.
-
hate on cook all you want, if he came to a show with the condition he has when he turned pro he would place top 5

Wolf is like Freeman(from a year or so ago)
Had the perfect frame, an amazing base, and just needed some fine tuning.
and look what happened to Toney!
I hope Dennis Qualifies at Montreal! it would be sick! so many breakout athletes this year! it's good for a change!
(Heath, Dave Henry, Toney Freeman, Branch too...and maybe Dennis!

IF is the magic word...and thats only IF he goes back to Cris Aceto...and even when he was, the guy wouldnt listen to him. Chris is in his own little world..If u ever listen to him talk...he's not as down to earth and thats why he slipped out of the ranks past few shows...He has tons of PHYSICAL potential, but unless he gets his mind straight...hes doomed :P

do you see Chris often?

do you see Chris often?
I've heard all the stories from Cris Aceto
-
cool !
looks like he knows his shit the way he brought Samer and Leo at the nationals :o
-

Yeah, Cris Aceto is good guy...Look at Cutler...the only year he came in bad (2004 Classic) was cuz he did the prep on his own!!
but Cris knows his stuff..he was the one who got Cris Cook to win the nationals. and he looked good, but Cris would get ready for a show real late...not follow his prep 100%, thats why he didnt do so well...but all in all, Cris has never produced a failure.
He brought back Garrett downing last year in Toronto at his all time best, plus he's responsible for Vic Martinez at his all-time best, Mike Francois also...wow the list goes on!
-
"he needs way more quad mass" ::)

True, we can make them or break them. so they better show us some respect.

I know it is totally unfair to compare Dennis to Ronnie. However, if he is the next big thing, you are going to have to make the comparison. Remember, Doz was going toe to toe with Haney in his second year. Thus, if Wolf is ever going to break out of the second or third tier, he needs the comparison. Although the pic below is average, it shows you how much thicker and more impressive Ronnie's torso is compared to Wolf. Cutler is also much thicker. Even if Ronnie retires after this year, there are a slew of guys with thickness that Wolf does not come close to possessing. Now, give the guy five years or so and we shall see. His legs are very impressive. Upper body....small waist and decently wide shoulders...that is all when comparing to the best of the best.
-
His arms looked like they were 16"
His quads need way more mass.
Brutal arms and quads on this guy ::)
(http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/big/2006/2006europa_mp199.jpg)
More thickness in the back and chest, bigger calves, maybe a tad more size on the arms.
If he keeps his waist that tight, he can def. give heath a run for his money....for a future O contender.
As for that bloated piece of crap Chris Cook, lets see him start a diet and show up to a show not holding Lake Erie before you compare him to anyone but tamali.
-
this was his first show - give the man some time. If Dennis rushes to improve he'll end up like Kamali
