2007 New York Pro - Wolf should have beat Warren!

[XFACTOR]

Wow Paco has awesome symmetry.  Displays nothing less than the classic 'A' Frame.

hahahahaha, he may be ugly but the dude has some thick ass arms and legs.

[kilojoule]

Now that is real muscularity

[beatmaster]

Warren's legs are massive, beats wolf, warren's thick as hell, i guess they when for size!!!

Yes, not arguing that, but fuck I would never want to look remotely like that.

[ThaRealist]

Warren's legs are massive, beats wolf, warren's thick as hell, i guess they when for size!!!

Yup size over quality...And the IFBB says they are changing their judging...What total horseshit!!!

[kilojoule]

If that's true then I choose blindness.  Branch is bigger, harder, and grany-er with fuller muscle bellies.

Warren's hamstrings and glutes match the rest of his physique.  Dennis can only dream of that.  It's not even close.  I had Branch at #1.  I had Wolf at 4th or 5th.  He got a gift.

Branch has the wow factor.  Dennis does not.  End of story. 

WoW factor = 20 years off your life

IMO, if you're sporting a major injury like a torn lat, you shouldn't win a symmetry round.  It's essentially the same as neglecting a bodypart all year.  You show a huge imbalance.  Suppose he had a torn lat, bicep, and qud on one side.  Would they still have given him first?

its spanish grand prix 2006 all over again where wolfe placed behind similar looking physiues such as  these 2

[beatmaster]

but i have to give it to wolf on the total package, i didn't saw the final pics last night, i was putting silvio ahead friday, then wolf, but warren first   ......... i miss the good old days (the 90's)

[musclecenter]

Dennis Wolf is very close to Dennis James .
And Wolf look more aesthetic than  Warren.
If Wolf improve his hams,calf  & lats sweep,then he can place higher in Olympia this year .

[will938]

Christ! Paco looks terrible!

[whateva]

Wolf had the best physique in NY ,but this is bodybuilding, that doesn't matter

[pobrecito]

I just don't see how you all are saying how Wolf was robbed.

Aside from the lat which only hurts branch in one pose, he is just killing Wolf on everything else, mass, conditioning, dryness, density.

He died for you biches!

there is no comparision....
wolf owns branch....
...
arms chest shoulders abs...
ask 1 billion people who looks better they will say denniss..
no matter how you want to turn it


by your theory phil should not win any competituion..
because almost everybody takes him to muscle school...?
in terms of size...
if we are playin the size game then heath should retire... right?
and the funny thing branch does not outsize dennis

[MisterMagoo]

"symmetry, proportions, flow, perfect lines, posing"

At the end of the day it's a MUSCLE contest. I like Wolf's phsyique but when you compare the two in those pics Branch takes Dennis to muscle camp.

no, it's a physique contest. otherwise they'd just weigh everyone and give them a bodyfat test and whoever had the most muscle would win.

branch had some more mass on him, but he looks like complete balls compared to dennis. dennis's waist is tighter, his taper is infinitely better, his posing is better, you can actually see his abs in the front lat, the list goes on and on. branch is thicker but not even CLOSE to "better".

[Earl1972]

wow I can't believe anybody can think that branch was better than wolf

E

[mesmorph78]

according to liftstudious theeory
branch takes dennis to muscle school... because he is thicker..
...
name 10 pros phil heath is thicker than...
so accordin to that theory...
who should phil be able to beat?

[Dballn247]

<--- Edge - Wolf

<--- Edge - Warren

<--- Edge - Warren

Branch was fuller and denser.  Branch is more complete.  Wolf still has freaky parts.  His quads look freaky cause his calves are small in comarison.  Although his physique my not be as symetrical, Branch has less weak points.

[kilojoule]

We need to go back to the old style of judging.........

Well, Cutler is as close to what you wrote above, as anyone. No torn muscles, but one side of his body doesn't match the other.

[timfogarty]

Wolf looks great but i get so tired of this stupid "symmetry, proportions and flow" nonsense, it's called bodybuilding you're supposed to get as big and freaky as possible.

it didn't use to be that way

[pumpster]

Aside from a smaller waist, where is he eating Warren?

Balance, aesthetics, lines, upper body size, shape for starters. As far as getting as big as possible, Wolf's bigger except for thighs that actually balance with the rest.

Warren is the new Palumbo.

[Naked4Jesus]

Aside from a smaller waist, where is he eating Warren?

Shape, symmetry, quad separation, arms, shoulders, and yes HAIR dammit!  Never mind he's about a foot taller and makes Branch look like a fire hydrant.  This was the worst decision ever.
