"Talk to me babay"... a promising rookie ;D

Rumor is Freeman had heath issues. Phil is in good shape but hard to "de-bloat"... JOJ has a good shot. Silvio too..

I have a man crush on Troy Alves. His wife is as hot as his daughter, great genetics runnin' in that familily. I wan to see him win.

In no particular order:
Troy Alves, USA
Toney Freeman
Gustavo Badell
Phil Heath
Silvio Samuel
Desmond Miller
Johnnie Jackson

His arms look fantastic there. But thats never been his problems, his issue has always been his weak back and tree like legs.

His shoulders and arms are the best in the biz, but can he bring the rest??????????

Tree like legs? how is that a weak point. His side chest was one of the best as a rookie, wait till you see it now. His ham, quad tie in is incredible...


haaaahhaaa legs a weak point...I am telling you, yes, that is just a snapshot of his arms, he has grown everywhere and did not lose a bit of shape.

LOL  Pass me what you're smoking.  JoJo is going to have to come looking like a FREAK to place top 10.  The show is Phil's to lose.  Publicity plays a huge role in who will place and where.  You will get a few surprises, like Silvio last year, but for the most part, the show will come down to if Phil is on.  Everybody looks good at 3 weeks out, its the last few days that tell the story.  People are forgetting about Kai Greene too.  For Badell to place top 5, he will have to look like he did a few years ago when he was lighter and more detailed.  When Gustavo is on (2005 Olympia). he is hard to beat. 

Heath
Greene
Freeman
Silvio
Johnnie Jackson

1). Phill Heath:  not just hype,  they guy can is the real deal. The guy was undefeated as an amateur, won his first 2 pro shows and placed 5th at the Arnold. He has been in shape a while and looks like its his show to lose.

2). Tony Freeman:  Last years Iron Man winner showed up out of shape most recently in October at the olympia and placed 14th behind a bunch of these competitors, He will have to be spot on just to claim this spot. If not, i have him out of top five.

3). Silvio Samuel:  I believe he will battle it out with Gustavo for this spot like he battled  for 7th and Gus 8th at the Olympia.  Silvio is under rated. Full, round, and thick has very little weakness. He looks much heavier than his 210ish weight.   He could use a bit more detail in his thick as fuck quads. The guy is fairly humble and a nice guy in my opinon as well. Interesting fact, he competed 8 times in 2007 and his lowest placing was 7th,  at the Olympia,  This has to be a record for a 21st Century bodybuilder.

4). Gustavo Badell:   Gustavo place 3rd at the Olmypia twice and won this show in 2005. His placings are fading but still strong enough for 4th place here.  He needs every bit of his prep time to dial in, but it seems to be working.

5). David Henry:  Henry needs to be shredded to claim this spot. If not, he could place much lower.  He showed up soft last year( for David Henry) and placed 6th and the line up was no were near this good.

Keep an eye out for Will Harris.  I believe he could place as high as second if he is ripped  and that is not likely going to happen.   He pushed Silvio at the Europa and placed second, and looked great at the Olympia but still placed out of top ten.
I would like to see will peeled, with his structure and size he could do some damage and beat Freeman. Judges do not seem to reward his physique. 

Other sleepers include: Desmond Miller and Armin Sholtz.
