2008 NPC Nationals Prejudging Review & Pics

[Relentless]

Putnam winning is a disgrace. His personality is dry as crap to boot.

Sean Allen look like total crap as well.

Ed Nunn.....the future of this sport.

Putnam is a blonde haired, blue eyed guy with a very attractive wife who happens to be an IFBB figure competitor.  Unfortunately, some people think these are more important qualities than the guy having a physique worthy of being a pro.

THE END

Congrats to Edward Nunn on winning the overall at the nationals …

Jeff Long seems to be doing worse … even though he pax some sick amount of muscle considering he is around 5’5”

Still can’t figure out what is so impressive about Putnam (except Jessica) … my vote would have definitely gone to Auguste

Foster and ward … pro card … cant see that going any where

putnam looks like absolute shit, that is nowhere NEAR a pro caliber physique.. WTF ?!?

[flexingtonsteele]

Ed Nunn looked fantastic, Liberatore looked ok, and the guy who finished second to him looked good as well.

But overall this was a very dissapointing nationals. I saw more flabby asses, loose skin, and chubby faces than I do at the line at the local dairy queen. Its like conditioning doesnt even matter anymore.

And dont get me started on the guys who looked good one week out and looked like shit on the day of the show. Its rediculous.

And one last thing, I think about every 1 out of 5 competitors had gyno!! thats rediculous.


What a shitty shitty show!

think PUtnam looks great..great flow and old school look...


doesnt look like he was in a pose yet in the 2nd pic

I agree with that and he has a great overall classic line to his physique. Having said that I suspect he just squeeked by as his conditioning was not 100% on. It was close, but his win was legit in my opinion.

With all due respect to you Howard (since we have chatted in person).... I don't think anyone here agrees with you.  I don't see anything "classic about his lines"?  No physique can be that classic with such a weak back?  And I'm not "hating" on Putnum since I don't know him in person (and heard he is a nice guy) .... but his physique was not worthy of a pro card win in a weak division.  Just seems everyone agree's Auguste had the better package?

WARD is good enough and would win the overall in any show other than usa's or nationals.n.a's or t.u. he would have legitimate shot at overall,he is packed head to toe in size for what 5'2 unreal,but he is a pro already ,and will do alright in 202.

Myself and alot of the guys backstage thought Brewer and Kulco got absolute gifts while Marshal should have been top 3 if not 2nd.  Glad to see these guys expressed similar opinions.  Nunn looked amazing and deserved the class and overall victory.. all the best to him in the pros

Judging by those pics, if Putnam wins it's a definate fix and scam.

 

Yup! he DIDNT win because he had the best phyisque...god bless him ..I heard he is a nice guy...but there were so many physiques that were way better....politics all the way....I heard he was gonna get it....as a competitor myself it would bother me if I was handed a gift and someone else deserved it...its not his fault he won though.........My boy darrell Terrell got overlooked and so did Monty Mabry.....thats bodybuilding for you....also Mark Alvsi had the edge and should of had that one too........Ed nunn was freaking unreal! he will make a great pro!

Wow Debbie ... nice to have you posting here!  As an IFBB Pro our leader Ron needs to give you your Blue stars! 

I feel kinda bad for Putnum.  He has certainly looked better before and by all accounts he is a nice guy.  But the point is he wasn't the best in that division.  And so I think decisions like this set bodybuilding back ... which is something it can ill-afford right now.

Welcome Debbie.  You have a great look for a female BB.  Good luck to you in the future.

awww thank you! I actually was over at MDforums...which I like but I cant get on there the past 2 weeks...I get a blank page or server busy...so weird....I figured I would come take a peek around here!  I feel bad for him too...I just hate to see gifts given away and others getting robbed...been thru it myself  hehe...I support all my brothers and sisters!
