He got first place based on how he looked the past two shows, not how he looked last night, because both darrem and ronnie rockel were more complete!
Please Discuss.
Im taking nothing away from Kai, but this is the worst he's looked in the past 3 shows but he won today, he should have won last week at the keystone, and should have placed higher than sixth at the NYP!
Great observations here and my feelings are similar. Here is my take on the top guys vs Kai at the Col Pro.
Kai was given the award for best presentation and while he is a good poser/performer, his music got cut (not his fault) and he was unable to complete his full routine. I also noticed that his chest, arms an delts semed to flatten and smooth out as the night wore on . I feel that it was very close, but he deserved 3rd.
Rockel looked incredible from head to toe is the poster guy for what a balanced, full physique should look like.
He held his conditioning the entire show and had the best calfs on stage in the finals. Again , it was VERY close but I would have given him first in this event. I suspect he will continue to make an impact in the pros and feel he has enough size and thickness to do real damage. In my humble opinion, Ronny Rockle has the potential to be a top tier, Olympia finalist without question.
Darrem Charles looked fantastic at the night show and contended for the top spot. He should have won the best presentation award as well. His posing is awesome but he has been doing the same kind of routine for a awhile now.
This may have caused him to NOT win the presentation award?
He is one of my favorite pros and always exudes class and come sin shape.I would have placed him a close 2nd just behind Rockel.
Silvio - Small waist ,great upper body V shape and full pecs. Incredible thigh sweep and in shape.
No problem with him in 3rd, I would have placed him 4th however. Not to knock the guy, but their is "something" about his overall line /asthetics that just doesn't look right?
George Farah - In fantastic condition only lacksa bit more mass/thickness for the top spots. Farah has some impressive guns and his body just comes alive on stage. I would have had him in 5th.
David Henry - Pound for pound a near perfect physique, what else can you say. His only fault is his smaller frame and stature. Guys like him (and Farah) are the main reason the IFBB pro men need one lighter wt class.I would have had him in 6th
I think it would add drama to have the lighter but incredible guys go head to head for an under 210 div.
I believe this will happen at the SW pro in Dallas?
Dennis James - He was clearly off but huge and thick overall. He has that rare shape that makes him look huge on stage. Come in lighter and sharper DJ and keep that waist under control and you can easliy regain your top spots.
Branch Warren - He was off ,but not horrible like some said. He was hard as a rock when flexing from the front.
He looks best when he comes in big and freaky looking. That is his look and it stiill gets a lot of fans.
Hon. mention - Ed Vanasterdam fro Holland- The guy is big and thick as a brick with full muscle bellys.
If he comes in really shredded , look out, he still has all the mass and shape to do damage if he comes in ripped.
