My money is on Mr. Tony "Squad Endorsed" Freeman!   I also think Phil Heath will be in the top 3.   And if Branch dials it in I could see Health, Branch and Freeman forming the top 3.

Dexter's back is about as narrow as they come in the pros....nuttin special.....great physique otherwise.   


Victor is a good bb, but again nothin special in my opinion....his quads seem shallow from the front and lack thickness around the knee.   I don't deny that Branch's arms aren't anything special, but Yates proved arms aren't key for winning.   As far as backs are concerned I'd put Branch's back on the same level as Dexter's, but Branch comes in granier than Dex does.

No Melvin Anthony? He could really do some damage, and to others wallets as well.

So does this mean Phil Heath's streak is coming to an end? If he wins against that lineup, there'll be a lot of conspiracy talk.

Two obervations.

1) melvin is skipping the Arnold?  He'll be top 3 at the Olympia.  Good thinking, Dr. Nicholls.

2) Tre mentioned the lack of int'l flavor.  This definitely plays into the PDI's hands, IMO.  I think onlyme mentioned something like nine shows next year.  This would have been the year to bring in as much Euro blood as possible.  But hey, what do I know? Smiley
