Dennis James - Upperbody top 10 of all time

[boonstack]

If bb'ing were judged in a tank top, dennis would win.

On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the condition he in now) I say he will show up on stage a 5 if lucky 

he ALWAYS messes up, i hope u can nail in this time DJ ur thick and shredded- it doesnt get better than this

Exactly.  Dennis is the ultimate gym physique; nowhere near as impressive when he gets on stage. 

[boonstack]

yes, just an ordinary body, see something like his all the time

please explain to me in detail what he is lacking to provide an impressive physique?

[Relentless]

He is impressive!  There's just a substantial drop off when he gets onstage.  Would you not agree?

[affy]

tanktop covers his midsection and the flatness of his pecs

thats all...he easily has the best tanktop physique of all time

[Bluto]

How come there's no pics of other bb in tanktops in this thread to compare?

how does he do against wolf? heath? ronnie? arnold?

[m8]

It's very simple: he looks unbeatable in the gym with a tanktop on and not nearly as much on stage.

i do agree when he gets on stage it is nearly a given something DOES GO WRONG. Its almost comical. Year after year in the last 24 hours before the show, he always manages to screw up something. But, if he was to actually nail all those minute details in the last minutes, he would be strong competitor. His overall density and thickness is what gets me.

Jay may be just as thick, but u NEVER will see a pic of jay with the vascularity and muscle seperation james presents. Dude Dennis has visible veins in his left arm than jay does in whole body

It's a common thing for a bodybuilder to lose quite a bit when stepping onstage, but Dennis seems to get bitten by this bug more often that other guys.  My favorite bodybuilder is Victor Martinez, and he's the ultimate in a gym physique.  The guy is just insane! 

So, its not as if Dennis is the only one...he just loses something drastic when stepping onstage.  All this being said, I think he did himself a HUGE favor by slimming down this contest season and dropping 15 lbs.  His waistline looks much much better.  He's a candidate for the top 6.

I mean on this picture:



He looks like shit in the one you posted, of course.

[England_1]

Everyone says DJ always looks better pre-contest. It's a bunch of crap. He looks exactly the same on stage, only difference is now he's standing next to bigger and better pros
