Only if it has a mexican jiujitsu room.  Too bad he has to trade his hams and calves for a 40 inch waist.

As long as he comes ripped like at the 04 Olympia he can get Top 3.

His legs dont look small, as soon as he drops the water and ads some color they will come together with the rest of his physique.  His back looks awesome.  This is going to be a good Ironman.

Fifth place or top five?  I think he will be top five.  I think he can quite possibly do a little better than that.  I would like to see how Phil does against him as that will more narrowly show the world exactly what level Phil is on, rather than broadly stating "Phil is top 10" which we already know.  I think it's safe to say he's top six in the world and I am really curious to find how where he ultimately ends up at the Olympia also.

I remember the last photos that came out, he looked really good in them. I think his back was enormous, and his legs were really separated if memory serves.

But these photos show almost an entirely different person, same background though. :P

i'm not a fan of gustavo, but his upper body is looking good there...
his waist seems to have gotten smaller (or he can just control it a bit better). his legs could be a bit bigger but to me he looks in decent shape 3 weeks out

he looks much improved the waist is in check, his legs will look a lot bigger when he drops his water, the seperation will add to the illusion, i think he could look his all time best here, maybe even win or top 3

He improved his back, but from the waist down he still has a long way to go.

Legs aren't very good and he seems to have trouble sucking in that gut on the side-triceps. He's not getting any better...

Gustavo will never have striated glutes, to me he looks behind schedule, he will place 5 at the ironman, and maybe top 6 at the O.

I think he looks better than I thought he would. He could win it! Don't think Heath can match that size....YET!!! He's back is awsome. I thought he was over, but I might be wrong!

Ironman here we go, can barely wait!
