It is the eve of the Nationals and I can't find any list of these 500 competitors. Anyone know where that info is?

Lonnie Teper has an inteview at ironmanmagazine naming the likely top finishers at the nationals in three weeks He and Alex Azarian like Steve Kuclo, Jason Huh and Malcolm Marshall in the supers; Fred Smalls, Lee Banks and Anthoneil Champagnie in the heavies; Tamer El-Guindy, Darron Glen and Al Auguste in a strong light heavy field. He was going on based on whom he thought was competing. Anyone have the list of competitors entered in the show?

Joel looks amazing. Shows the state of the sport that 15 guys could have physiques that were better than this exceptional one. When those legs catch up to the wicked upper body, this will be one of the Top 5 dudes at the O.

Top Four all looked great. Who was fifth?

any results beyond the top 5?

anyone have a link to the results beyond the top five?

Two weeks to the NPC USA Championships. Any word on who is competing and who will challenge for the pro cards?

Anyone have the Top 15 results? Based on the comments I have read, I presume Dugdale and Abbew were near the top 5.

Have checked here, at flexonline, at musclemayhem, and ironmagazine seeking the results of the nationals but either i am blind or there aren't posted yet. Knowing the winners is cool, but it is always interesting to see where the others placed. Any suggestions where the full results are posted. Hey, thanks.

Jim Cordova is a worthy natural World champion, having bested the likes of Ben Tennessen, Rodney Hilaire, Jon Harris and Brian Whitacre last year. Another solid lineup as he goes for the repeat this Saturday. He is the man to beat ... and that won't be easy to do. He is one incredible natural bodybuilder.

So, it is November, which means it is time for the Nationals. Anyone know where on the net there is a list of competitors? I want to see who is Anthoneil Champagnie's main competition!

AD is looking amazing. His career best. Congrats.

Moody and JRod both look amazing. I haven't seen any listing of competitors anywhere but it would be hard to imagine any naturals at the TU besting them this weekend. (Anyone know where the list of competitors can be found?)

Any results from the show yet?

Matt...

You have been very good for years. Your improvement is steady and awesome. I wish you all the best as you continue your climb up the sport. Good guys do finish first, so keep the dream alive.

22 are qualified. Besides Ronnie Coleman, who are the other four eligible competitors who are passing up this year's Olympia??

Isn't Quincy Taylor doing the show?

Darrem Charles has won multiple IFBB shows - a feat very few bodybuilders can claim. So, he has cause to be confident in his achievements. Frankly, I have never experienced him as cocky and conceited. He's a good family man who happens to be among the top 15 bodybuilders in the world.

Some knocks here on Ben White, but he was the best bodybuilder at the USA and is a deserving victor. It seems that he is from upstate New York, but I am wondering if any of the readers knows anything else about him?

I believe there are some veterans returning to the TU stage in July - including Chris Faildo and Andre Ewing. It might be one of the most competitive shows in TU history.

The downsizing happened between last year and this year. Last year's show was about twice the 19 of this year. New York was always a place for some new international folks to debut, but that was missing this year, as well. I do understand how one can't ignore phenomenal physiques like Branch and Dennis James, but with aesthetic physiques like Dennis Wolfe, Kai Greene and Craig Richardson, it is too bad that they were not the ideal.

Kai looked amazing. In my view he deserved several places higher. I hope that he gets to do the Keystone or Shawn's show, too. He looked crisp, healthy, aesthetic, and he had good size. He has been a phenom since his teenage days, but he certainly never nailed it like he did yesterday. Congrats.

Paul Jean Guillaume.

 
R.I.P. Bob Sager. I wish this thread could just be wishes for his eternal peace and for the consolation of his family and loved ones. There are moments that are sacred. I wish there could be threads that were beyond the realm of dissing and bashing. A young man has died early in his life, and I hope he may already be enjoying that eternal life.

Jean Paul G. vs. Brian vs. Flex vs. Melvin. Jean Paul G. was rumored to be natty, and he was the first of the modern era bbers to have that waspy waist look.

Of this great quartet, only Melvin is still competing, and he is phenomenal - looking forward to some great Spring victories for him. Of the other three who were genetic marvels, Paul Jean Guillaume could probably still enter a show with a month's preparations and be competitive. He always considered himself a body sculptor, not a bodybuilder. The best natural bodybuilder ever!
