NPC Nationals Prejudging Pics Are Up!

[McFarland]

good build but jeff he has bad gyno in those pics...

Good point.  You know what else I'm thinking, both with the Jeff guy AND Dixon...I'm thinking they know that if they make them wait one more year for the nod, that next year they can come in a SOLID winners and represent their respective NPC National titles better for them.  I'm not sure how much better Peter would be if you made him wait another year at this point.  He won his class at the USA's looking alot worse than he does here so I mean they almost have to reward him with the win.  Hey, is it true that Dixon was breaking shit backstage last year after getting beaten by Stan?

Oh yea, and the pics up on flexonline are HORRIBLE. way too small, and just taken at really shitty angles

God-damm it!(flex don't even mention ALEX)


In the lighter classes, lightweights is a battle between Jeffrey Olcsvary of Lake Charles, Louisiana, James Williams of Greeneville, South Carolina, and Leonardo Pacheco of New York; and bantams are led by Dave Candy of Pittsburgh, Fernando Abaco of Rocklin, California, Art Santellan of Anaheim, California, and John McKnight of Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Yes, this isn't looking good...

Cherry's pec really doesn't look all that bad... smallest waist in show, IMO...

[McFarland]

I WANNA KNOW HOW FLEX'S VERY OWN PHOTOGRAPHER(S) GOT SUCH SHITTY PRESS SEATS

These pics are shot from a friggin' 45 degree angle, alot of them!

[gordiano]

whose winning would you lose sleep over?

LOL!

[The Coach]

Look, this is kinda bullshit, all you hear about are the ones that got publicity throughout the year and those are the ones that are going to plasce high or win NO MATTER wether someone comes out of the woodwork or not, as far as I'm concerned, it's another scam in the process.

Yeah, he at least looks good from what I can see here...

You think Dixon beats Putnam then? 

[AllDrugs]

Shawn Ray, Flex Wheeler and the other guy doing the live round-by-round posting at FlexOnline all picked Dixon to win

Was the other guy black too?

The pics don't come up for me, I try to click on the weightclass links and it just goes back to the top of the page.

OK guys, this just in from the Azerian camp.  Alex's wife Nga just PM'ed me this; I'm posting portions of it with her approval:  

"...tonight didn't go as planned but we aren't too disappointed. we just pick up and move onto whatever life takes us next. who knows. maybe baby number two on the way soon instead of a pro card. whatever happens, we accept it as the way its suppose to be. He's gained a lot of new friends and gotten to know people like you so that in itself is worth all he's put into it...

...He's in Dallas and is just disappointed he didn't do everyone proud. But we all know better than that.  I couldn't be more proud of him. I wish I was there to give him a hand as his tan was not so great and had to rely on the kindness of strangers to help him and he was told that hurt him in placings a bit. but he'll be back in the gym doing what he loves, being a dad, and a great husband, and that's what matters..."

Hmmm.

Absolutely think Dixon wins.

Alex is a good guy, can't wait to meet him at the Excaliber. Jeff, are you going?

[AI3]

Was the other guy black too?   

Is that supposed to be funny?? 

[AllDrugs]

Doesn't really matter what color they are, it was their take and 2 are pro's (not judges but Wheeler and Ray probably did, oh, 100 pro shows between them?

I'd like to see the score cards for each pose.  I still think I'm right on on Dixon winning 5 of them.  He's just too thick.

[McFarland]

Is that supposed to be funny?? 

OK bro I'm gonna break it down for you real simple like, no bullshit.  You take a black guy and a white guy on stage where it could pretty much go either way, and a black person judging is gonna prefer the black competitor, and a white person judging is gonna favor the white competitor.  Dare I say, EVERY DAMN TIME, if all other factors are equal. (i.e. the black judge isn't friends with the white guy and doesn't even know the black guy, etc.)  In this show, in my personal opinion, Dixon could be better, and Peter's done good just to get to where he is.  The stage has been set for Putnam all year, it's his time, and if anyone ever told him to just keep doing what he's doing until Nationals and he'll be fine, well, it looks like he's just kept on and then some.  Dixon can win the class in style and perhaps even the overall at the USA next year if he keeps at it.  That's how good I think his shape is.  Now, long term potential?  Dixon will annihilate Putnam if they ever both make it to a pro stage.  Sorry, but that's the breakdown.  Anybody wanna venture a guess as to who Matt T will pick?      

[The Freakshow]

Peter's lookin' TIGHT!

[Remo Williams]

Yeah this is gettin' close to that.  OK, next up for discussion.  What do you guys think of Alex onstage?  Check out this other guy next to him.  He's got Alex on upper body but Alex has him in the lowers.  I haven't even finished making sure I've seen all the lightweight competitors yet but I already see this one here as an interesting comparison. 

Alex A could look much sharper, looks like he may still be holding water.

[McFarland]

Alex is a good guy, can't wait to meet him at the Excaliber. Jeff, are you going?

I'm only going if I know for sure you're gonna be in shape!

Hey guys. I have a front and center seat and there are pics of every competitor. I took a few shots at different angles to give different views.

Alex A's color was the worst in the show. Whomever did his color should never do tanning again. There were some solid competitors in his class. I have him in 7th or 8th in his class. Even with better coloring I'd have him no higher than 5th.

I'd have putnam winning over dixon. I had dixon as my pick going into the show but it looks like he'll be a bridesmaid for a third time.

I'd put ad cherry winning with curry in second. Curry has some awesome guns and conditioning better than usas but needs more quad size and a bit drier.

Evan has the supers no problem and should take the overall tomorrow.

I'll try to take better photos for the getbig nation.

Peace

We can't wait, Isaac.  Thanks.  The Getbig Nation is very strong at present time and growing stronger by the second.  

Oh yeah, happy Nasser Night.

Alex A...too dark...too oily...making him look smooth.
