Bob, we are not stupid. Dont underestimate us(fans). You guys exist because of us(clients). So be honest in front of us and you will be really respected by fans.

You can listen to our recap tonight...I'll tell you exactly why, who placed where, and why

He is the new RUHL in terms of a crowd pleaser.

Freak, no doubt very impressive in person.

Im not looking for "beautiful bodies" (if i was id go to a bikini contest!)
big and freaky = top 6 placement IMO

No Mike, that was a bodybuilding contest and, based on the rules it follows, the contestants are supposed to have all around musculature, symmetry between the muscles, conditioning and an overall flow to their physiques. He was big and freaky, but that is not enough for him to place well in a contest.

By that same "big and freaky" logic, Brad Hollibaugh should be Mr. Olympia.

In europe, we love big hard cut muscle more than beauty physic.

Are you saying that bodybuilding is the muscle?

Joke aside, if not, what is?

If Ironman is a beauty contest, i will quit watching it from next year. We all want to see big freaky hard mutant like muscle.

13th was about right....could have been a few spots up without an argument. Tough physique to judge....needs width and back thickness.

I agree it is a tough physique to judge .... if you are going on aesthetics. But on freak-factor he almost wins the show? So .... some middle ground may be around 6-7th?

But in this weak line-up I think the IFBB could have done themselves a marketing favor by including him with the top boys because he would have been a crowd favorite due to his freakiness?

Instead, the judges buried him?

very well said. IFBB are stupid that they forget that we fans are their client. Clients move the market. Not venders.

I must agree ...Symmetry, proportion and balance are fundamental part of Bodybuilding

That's ridiculous. Martin doesn't have Synthol parts that jump at you. If he used it... well, it's not at a level that immediately jumps at you.

The back is a weak point, true. But Martin is pretty damn evenly developed i.e symmetrical. He is more symmetrical than Silvio though most would probably say Silvio is more aesthetic. Sure, not the most beautiful physique like I said but a comparison to Brad is ridiculous. The Lebanese guy would make a better comparison if you insist on comparing someone from this line-up to Brad. He had those eye-sores.

Real bodybuilding is about lines ,small waist (no gut), wide shoulders .... Martin is completely the opposite
