How will these new pros do?

[jude2]

They won't do shit.  Jose Raymond is the only guy in the lighter classes lately that continued to maked good gains.  He could do well in  a under 200# class.

[GoneAway]

It's nice to have Lee Priest and David Henry around to prove that bodybuilders who are 5'5 and under can still be top 10 or even top six in the world and slay much bigger beasts.  Think about how huge and freaky Toney Freeman is, and Dave still managed to beat him at this year's Olympia, as well as Quincy Taylor.

no doubt. but priest and henry look like 'little' beasts, if u get me. theyre not small for their height. these guys here frankly look too small, almost skinny in some areas.

[Special Ed]

Not much from the little guys but for the bigger dudes, I think Dixon has the best chance to crack some heads at the Pro level this year, especially in the under 202 class. Evan still needs to fill out his large frame and AD probably needs more size to compete with the big boys as well. But Jose Raymond looked very impressive for his class.

wont make a dent without at least 15p of muscle on each. carlo's left quad looks like shit.

Wow!  You guys are really a tough crowd.  Funny how you can win a class where thousands upon thousands of competitors throughout the country can't even qualify to compete in and STILL get no credit.  You guys may be right, maybe Dave, Leonardo and myself may never do anything as pros, but guess what, we are in title and accomplishment.  I can assure you all we are very proud of our accomplishments, it's dissappointing that we don't get the same credit as the "bigger" guys.  Yes, our careers may be as some of you say "over", but we all i'm sure acheived a tremendous goal.

Btw, goneaway, sorry you think my left "unflexed" quad looks like shit.  Here's a pic where it is flexed:  Hope you like this one.   ;)I'll trade this pic for a pic of your left quad.

A bodybuilder at a buck 45 is pathetic...

Its not pathetic, it's a contradiction in terms

Sorry, here's the pic.

GREAT pic, Carlo.  And a well deserved win to a man who well represents the bodybuilding community both on- and off-stage!!  Truly a professional in all senses of the word - a successful businessman AND IFBB PRO!!  A man who won his class and who has a lot of class!!  I'm sure he already has a full plate planned for 2008!!  Good Luck.  ^5

Here's the link.  I'm always open to constructive criticism.  I do need about 20 lbs or so to fill out, which I hope to gain over the next 2 years or so.  Could be fun now that there are no more weight class restrictions to adhere to.

thanks for the link. u looked really good (better than i thought), but just too small to compete with the big boys. thats all i meant in my first comment, as ur only as good as ur competition, and the ifbb pros are very good.

ifbb is all about back, and ur lats are weak, so work them. thats my main critisism/advice from looking at ur pics.

no offense dude but you're arms and legs are small for a bodybuilder, your condition is pretty damn good though.
