Author Topic: Gustavo Badell: 3 weeks out from the Ironman Pro (Read 5182 times)

honest · « **Reply #25 on:** January 29, 2008, 12:03:50 AM »

he always does look smooth, this is hard for him 3 weeks out, i think he can win it, top 3 Wolfe Heath and Gustavo, his legs always look smaller when their not in contest shape. I believe if he nails it he will win, his waist is the key its a lot smaller, hopefully he wont over carb and blow it out, if he does Heath and Wolfe will take him, but i believe hes the most complete.

looks like he's trying to peak for the arnold and not the ironman...

Using the ironman just as a tune-up and will give it 100% in columbus.

Heath is just as big

Phil is no where near Gus's size and muscle maturity. Just look at the thickness in Gus's back. Phil's back is subpar.

Same old NATURAL Gustavo BADELL

If Gustavo had brought his '04-'05 Olympia shape to last year's Olympia, he probably would have won. He's very good in the mandatory poses when his waist is in check.

With Badell's condition, I believe the rest of the pack have to battle for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th,....... etc

Are you saying that's it's no use in competing in an IFBB competition when you are 100% NATURAL??

gus has the myostatin blocking gene so obtaining massive muscular size has never been a problem for him. he simply doesn't need to take drugs like the other genetic inferiors.

besides, he works harder than anyone else in the gym.

shoulders/tris/back all look awesome... but where the fuck did his hamstring go? he used to have some meaty ass biceps femoris's..

Hey WBB, what ever happened to your life partner Chris Cook???

Is he done in BBing?

natural al · « **Reply #41 on:** January 29, 2008, 08:55:54 AM »

Gus looked good at the o last year and got overlooked. he did a great job bringing his waist down. We'll see what happens at the arnold...for some reason I think his time in the spotlight may have passed....

It would appear so. He had a quick rise and an ever faster fall. Word on the street is that he is doing pretty well these days, living a fairly normal life.

Wolf??? U better check the competitor list...and u forgot Morgan Freeman ups...Tony

It´s all about his conditioning at Contest-time....

at the Mr. Olympia he looked better on the press conference than 1-2 days later on stage....

for me, something between 2.-6. Place

I believe that Phil Heath will take the show.
