Ironman 2009 - Martin Kjellstrom - 13th Place!!?!?!?!

[michael arvilla]

Is it Christmas!??!?!?!?

[Tamer Razor]

From the front.....

Michael...You seem very knowledgeable, but I was at the show and even though I believe that Martin may have been place a couple spots higher, I do not believe he should have been in the top 10. He carries huge amounts of mass and he is a tall competitor( what you tend to be partial towards), but this front shoot is just poor....and demonstrate clearly his weakness futher justifying his placing.

[michael arvilla]

but ur right......that guy with the lumpy baseball calves def beat this

 His back is def weak (don't get me wrong) but in this weak line up i feel he should have been placed higher

[tommywishbone]

Dude has a cool physique ala Jim Quinn or Curtis Leifler. Delts packed with Pump & Pose (External use only!) but it's 2009 and nobody cares anymore.

[GreatFinn]

I'm with you Mike, he deserved a lot higher.. who knows, BB judging might be going down a different path? with the O, going to Dexter maybe the lighter more symmetrical physiques are being  rewarded? I hope for th IFBB's sake they are consistent with the judging.

Well, maybe judges notice those "Carrot Head- look a like"- shoulders and drop few points  because of obvious using of synthol.

[hazbin]

they say they couldn't place him higher because he was the only mass monster

how could they place Shawn Ray between Dorian and Nasser in the 90's.

[genrommel74]

Looks pretty good, but definate synthol shoulders.

[AVBG]

No synthol in delts.

avbg approved.

[kyomu]

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

Nope.

An impressive competitor must win. Even if you have good line,you are not impressive in front of a guy who outmass 10 times.
Viceversa,if you carry super great line like Bob,Shawn or Lee labrada, you can battle out with bigger guys.
But, if they outmass you helplessly, you will lose.

Needless to say about the condition.

Not who is the most beautiful, but who is the most impressive.

Like i said this pic taken the night before the Ironman .........(pretty much says it all/in a weak line-up this is not a 13th place physique!)


the guy brought his "A-game" love his physique or hate it/he was not 13th place

[Noel Fuller]

Too bad he didnt bring that picture with him and flash it at the judges during comparisons

Noel your really not "Digging" Martin too much im gunna go out on a limb and say...................

 

[spinnis]

He has the ass size of Rikishi 

[Noel Fuller]

Hes good but he didnt look like that onstage his back was really soft, I dont get all the ass kissing,

 lol@ ass kissing................i n a sea full of midgets i just liked the "taller/freakier" physique he brought to the ironman stage
               that's all (plus i did a "$300.00 dollar website" for him and promised him a massive PR blitz!)

Why do americans always add the .00 ?

Why not just write $300 dollars?

[Noel Fuller]

Arvilla you a genius, I should have known, ok he was robbed should have been 3rd place.

[rudylrichards]

cud've bn 2 -4 spots higher but not much more.  Great physique to guest pose but not so good for competition.. too many flaws esp from the back. 
Mike, the biggest and tallest guy (like you) on the stage is almost always gonna look the best in the most muscular , nice try though lol.  It's the other poses that determine the placements

[GetItOnNY]

Just for fun and arguements sake, out of these 2 athletes, who do you think looks better?

[SkinnyFatty]

Ironman "Pro" 2009 the worst lineup in bodybuilding history. I'd be ashamed to win that contest.

very fair comparison I'd say.. the absolute worst pic of a guy who has 2 sandows and is currently 2nd in the world against the absolute best pic of a guywho did make top 10 at the ironman.. I know hatin on J is in now and no disrespect to Martin but lets be real here

Wow....What show did you win your Pro card?........................ .....................

[wordy]

Other than worthy competitors getting screwed and losing moeny they should rightly have won, IFBB judging is worthless. It lost all credability when Marckus Ruhl was marked down in a Mr Olyimpia (2001 I think) and was told he needed more size. Then theres the constant screwing over of Ronnie Rockell who should've won the 2009 ironman.
