Akim for the win. 😎
-
If Akim comes in shape...which is unlikely. Hope Sergio wins.
Akim is a beast, but he has that thick skin look.
-
Akim is the guy to beat.....Oliva Jr. iīm not sure what he can Show up onstage.....in a interview i saw his arms 1 week ago he looked a bit too much "off" for me....
but anyway, this is maybe the weakest line-up on the NY Pro Stage ever ?
-
akim Willis living in a dumpster container?
-
Is it the same Akim or Akeem from the movie Coming to America?

Doesn't Akim have a weak back? Did he bring it up?

This, plus Akim isn't known for his posing qualities
-
another 2 tier show....lol what a joke IFBB....where are the top 10 guys in the ranks?? Akim looks ok but high lats and no ability to hold a vacuum don't help his physique.
-

Yes.
-
According to Sergio Olivia Jr's recent interviews, he's gone all-in to place first or second at the NY Pro, and considers any placing less than that to be a failure.

Edgar John from France for the open.

Make.it tier 3. Pro bb is a mess these days ??? :-X

Akim:
Reminds me of Vic Richards.
-
Edgar John from France for the open.
Needs to bring his calves up
-
Have never heard of any of the open line up guys except for Akim, Sergio, Juan and Jon De La Rosa. So many unknown American pro's...pro cards must be handed out like skittles nowadays.
-
Akim for the win. 😎
Damn he looks a little like a young Ronnie :o :o
-
this used to be a really great show, only behind the the Olympia and Arnold.
now it's just nothing....nothing...... .

Akin for the win. I think Sergio can place 2nd if he comes in shredded.

Too bad there's no live feed

Sergio Oliva Jr. Talks with Shawn After Prejudging
(video courtesy of MD)

Good for him

That's not the most flattering photo of him.
I thought he looked good. And more importantly in terms of a career he seems to have a good level head so he may do well out of this sport.

Question: has he come out of the "closet" yet?
Or not?
If u listen to how he talks and his mannerisms. The guy is definitely gay.

That's good to hear

Oliva Jr. Is so obvious. He is the Hugh Jackman/Travolta of bodybuilding.
But i think a lot of pros, are probably Bi.
They love the attention they get from both sexes.

Never noticed it b4. Dudes not into girls.
Watched the first 30secs before posting the vid.. Then watched it again and heard he has a wife??? Dudes flamin worse than kenny jones or aaron baker.

Truly depressing.... The sad state that bodybuilding has become, I dont know why they even bother turning up
-
That is Donald Trumpīs New York in 2017....
a son of a cuban Immigrant wins the open Pro-Show, and a Guy from eastern Germany wins the 212-Show......sorry, so it was 2 times
"Americaīs 2nd" (sorry, only ironic). ::) ;)
-
Happy for Sergio. What that show has become is a joke. The NOC was a top notch show. Wayne Demilia would have the best bodybuilders from everywhere show up for that show.

Yep.

Akim forgot that 1) Condition counts. 2) That the back counts, and you will have to turn around. 3) This is not a "who has the biggest arms" contest.
Once he gets it together, he will be a top competitor. I think he will challenge Roelly's place in the future.

He's part Cuban, not Jamaican.

Always had weak arms.... competing in 212 doesn't help.

Normally those Oxygen guys perform much better. Former coach Dave already told that it's pretty hard to dial him in.

He may have to drop the weight as well. John Sherman, Orville Burke, and Melvin Anthony had the same problem

I was there! I saw Jose Raymond in the audience. He looks like a human meatball.

That's what Chris Aceto did with Sergio, but conditioning wise, he looked more impressive when he won the Nationals. It's still hard to find that near perfect balance between size & conditioning, even with the best coaches around.

DroppingLoads. ;D
Very cool to see Sergio Jr. win his pro debut!!!
This is one case where being 100% N would be better, from a genetic perspective. I do not think his mother's Caucasoid genetics helped him! His father's N genetics were the primary driving factor in this win. He looked amazing! N's have very good genetics for BB! Discuss this.

Thank you for sharing your point of view Thongmanfan, I can agree with this

lmao. He's a f a g dude. Like 90% of them. He's the guy who has the balls to tell the truth. They're all fucking h om os. Hell Tom Brady is gay as the day is long and people wont' admit he married Leo's "beard" it is what it is...Aaron Rodgers the Green Bay's QB wanted to come out of the closet over 5 years ago. He was told no way and but Bret Favre outed hiim but the NFL released a dickpic of Bret to shut him up in a hurry. You honestly think Bret fucking Favre sent a cock pick to some random? lol. Aaron Rodges is gay as the day is long. NFl wanted no part of it...
This subject matter needs to have a thread of its own. I will start it, since no one else has the balls to start it.
I left it alone, to see if anyone else would start the thread, but it looks like, i gotta do it.

Shawn Gay
-
From a bodybuilding standpoint, he's obviously good, but DOES NOT have genetics as good as his father. His arms are very similar, but those high lats are a detriment. And his quads don't have the same sweep and shape. When he hits the "victory pose", he's not even anywhere close.
Sergio senior had arguably the best genetics ever to step on a bodybuilding stage. Even in the sixties, he looked like a cartoon character. Sergio Jr., while good, is not the "second coming" in my opinion.
-
Shawn Gay
You think? He does seem to be really catty like a lot of gay men.
-
He's part Cuban, not Jamaican.
Thee are loads of blacks in Cuba!

Sergio Oliva Jr. is one amazing N!
It's obvious that N's have the best genetics for running, for basketball, for football - but as for BB, I think it's a bit of a toss up. Like in MMA, I think talent is more uniformly distributed. N's have lower IQs, but have amazing physicality, hence make great fighters. I think Caucasoid fighters are in part great fighters due to intelligence - "Fight IQ", which really just boils down to IQ.
Anyway, Sergio Jr. has amazing N genetics. I saw the 1984 Mr. Olympia contest when Sergio held Sergio Jr. up in the air as a baby N. I had no idea how good he would later become! No real shocker there, although his mom's Caucasoid genetics did not really help his physique, lol. It probably gave him a much needed IQ boost though. N's have notoriously low IQ's - averaging around 85. :-\ :-X

Judging by your posts in this thread, it's safe to say your IQ is much, much lower than the N's you talk about lol.

Aceto said he was super nervous to guest pose with Ramy and the rest of the crew there, so he carbed up like crazy to look "big" and spilled over. Chris said they took the prep into overdrive from Pittsburgh until the NYP.

Akim and Sergio:
Akim reminds me so much of Victor Richards that it isn't even funny. And Sergio doesn't even come close to his father in that pose. BUT ... it's a nice respectful nod though ( if that's his intent ).
-
He goes to absolutely nothing when he hits his dad's signature pose. He isn't anywhere near the level that his father was at. Needs to stop hitting that pose out of respect to his father.
-

He has the same long, full muscle bellies in his forearms and upper arms as his father. But, he lacks the taper and chest thickness. I suspect that as time goes by, if he keeps his waist in check, he's gonna be a top contender for Mr. O. He reminds me of when Phil first came on the scene.
Akim is a beast, he's the next Roelly.

The next roelly as in never getting into a long with Melvin?

Watching RX Muscle's recap on Youtube. Laughable that this used to be the NOC. The top three guys were just not that impressive, and it's a steep drop off after the 5th place finisher.

You notice the same trend at the NPC Nationals, which is even more surprising given the high number of competitors.

To me, his lats aren't as big as those of his father. So, that pose doesn't work quite as well. With a bigger back, he'll match his father, if not exceed him.
