yes.  i think he's made some great improvements since last time and should do great.

Actually, his condition looked better last time than this time.  :-\

Mike tried to rush things a little bit because he wasn't sure to do the show and started his prep too late

If that's really 1 week out, he doesn't look close to contest shape   ???
Agree. I also don't notice one difference/improvement from last year? Am I missing something!?

Monster forearms and traps.

i think mike may have used something in the bis and delts which, of course, only highlight the inadequacies in these muscle groups.

why on earth he would do this is beyond my comprehension. his arms and delts are his stronger points. if i was mike and wanted to augment something it would have been calves or, basically, anywhere in the lower body.

the lack of traps, forearms and lower body indicate to me that mike has been avoiding the heavy stuff. i can see by the gyno that lack of gear's not the problem. on that point, the gyno seems to have gotten worse. i would have thought that mike would have attended to that before anything.

something positive to say...ummm...delts and arms look bigger. :-\

In that case he looks good for his age.

On the plus side, it looks like he is holding alot of water, which means he has more to lose in the last week.

Would be interesting to get "LLES"'s input on Arvilla's current condition, and what he thinks about Arvilla competing with this kind of conditioning.

yep.  Quote will be "I improved greatly from those pics in the closing days (but lost my camera for that time period).  Then I caught the flu right before prejudging.  Otherwise I would have nailed it!"

He'll pull out.

Who is LLES?

The guy who did Arvilla's prep last year.

With pretty good results.

Nobody has claimed Arvilla was off at that show. 8)

why are they so quiet this year?

Did Arvilla do his own prep this time? Maybe he just got lazy since he had much less fat to lose than last year.

I think you may be on to something.

Will be interesting to see pics of his biceps though. 8)
