OK guys the guy compared to Alex above is Jeff Olcsvary. He won the lightweight class at Junior Nationals this year and if you look at these pics below, he's made a shit ton of improvement since. He's way harder tonight than he was at Juniors. He could still get a tad harder, though, Alex next to him shows us that much. Alex's back is much smoother but that looks to be primarily genetic to me. Still, who do you think wins from the back? Upper body showing the shreds or lower body showing the shreds?
http://contest.bodybuilding.com/bio/7431/From the front, well, Alex looks harder, but this guy may be a bit more "marketable." They could also argue that Alex's tan is a little off. A little too dark it seems.
All in all, I still think Alex should take it, though. With all his involvement in the local shows around here, he's gotta have Jon Lindsay behind him, so he should be good on the political front, and he surely did his PR this time around with the pics posted here. He PM'ed me earlier today telling me that he'd been having people left and right in Dallas come up to him and say they saw his pics on the internet. He says he counted 25,000 total views between all the threads posted on the various boards about him and those pics.
See how you can leave no stone unturned? And remember, he still might not even get top 4...it'll just be depending on what they're looking for. If the comparison pictures are in order, Alex didn't even make the first callout. I think they replace the Jeff guy a little farther into it with him, but I really can't tell what actually might be going on in them. I really do wonder if they posted the comparison pics in order.
