There's a point to when the grainyness and veins start to look really bad. Reminds me of someone with really bad skin, acne vulgars, scars, torn skin, and worse.

They need to change the judging to go for more the "clean skin" look vs/ the "raggy acne scarred burned Darkman skin" look.

You have a hard time picking that up from 20 rows backs.

He's about 4-5 weeks out.  He's not fat just holding a TON of water.  Once he cuts the GH and drops some lasix he'll be ok

Not so fast grasshopper.  Unless he dramatically improves his back, he may once again be on the outside looking in. 

Ronnie
Jay
Dex
Badell
Victor
Freeman/Branch/Cormier?

Ah, kemosabe...

Vic M will look like a Jersey king next to a well-conditioned Branch.  Freeman will look skinny next to all of them. Cormier isn't doing the show.  I am going to call branch and tell him to go ahead and spend the 6th pllace check - it is his!

Wow.

You are known to like some of the ugliest pros on earth and you aren't attracted to Branch.  It's funny. 

I am?  I didn’t realize my likes and dislikes were being so studiously monitored. You have an interesting hobby. I don’t know whether to be flattered or frightened.    :-\

In any event, the point remains:  why pay for guest posers who show up out of shape?  Obviously, Branch can dial it in for contests and all serious BB have to bulk up to put on more mass, but when money is on the table they need to show up in shape.  >:(

Honestly, i'd rather see a freak then a smaller guy.  Even though i'm not a fan of the freaky physique, they do have their place in BBing.

Didn't Cormier just have a medical situation?
You are being too generous to Badell
I haven't seen any recent pics of Victor, provided that he is not in prison he should do well for himself
Freeman  might go higher
King..will be wearing a fat man's shirt while commenting

BayGBM: Believe me no one cares what you think.  Matt is 100 percent correct. You like the ugliest most disgusting mother f***rs on the planet. You act as if your opinion on any given thread is scripture. Branch is a GQ model compared to the old skanky aids ridden, hairy musclebears you worship to death. Your opinion on things have as much weight as anyones here at get big. So go gay up some other site.
F-n douche.

Judging from the video links of Branch and Johnnie Jackson in Kuwait that were posted last week, their training is hardly "off the wall." Especially compared to Platz. Maybe it's due to the contest prep they are going through, well for Johnnie the contest date was much closer, but what was shown on the video links was far from anything besides "going through the motions."
Well, Branch did carelessly re-rack 315 and nearly lost his left shoulder after he missed the rack!
