Steve Namat - I'll Be Back...next year!

[GoneAway]

Ok, I've taken some time to compare all the 10 mandatory comparidons, and Steve, I've got you in 3rd or 4th, behind Henry, Flex and the black guy. You beat some of them on some poses and they beat you in turn, but it was really close. I'd of liked to have seen the 2 other guys who placed ahead of you, but I'm sure they weren't much better than yourself.

Some minor improvements to make if you want to beat the likes of Henry and Lewis are thicker lats, thicker chest, and slightly bigger arms. Everything else you're pretty much right with. I like the classic look you bring and your front double biceps pose is very reminiscent of Arnold.

He Steve, your physique is truly exceptional and I mean that literally as well as figuratively.  You only need more recognition (hype) within the industry to place better.  That may sound cynical but it is the reality of the pro circuit these days. the pictures clearly show you to be top 3 material, that is not in question, only that you are not as publicised as the placegetters above.  I think most guys would rather aspire to the look you are presenting than probably anyone else out there at the moment so your potential to mainstream your image and thus better your placings seems a very definite possibility.  I watched the show online with a previous IFBB Olympia judge (1979-84) and we had you in 2nd in the under 202's and 5th or 6th overall.  Maintain your current attitude as it is your best asset, regards Leon.

Steve, the judging was pathetic. You should have placed much higher. Keep doing what you're doing. The judges will not be able to ignore you next time.  Best of luck!!!

Wow, I didn't even see these last posts. Thank you very much for everybody! 

Yes, next year is here...I'll trying to do everything I can to be better this year and hopefully finally I'll get some recognition.

I'm looking forward.
