Swede, I have a feeling that he is much older than 40.
I sat three rows back the entire prejudging period and for some reason I can't recall seeing this contestant on that stage. Must have been setting up my camera as he came out.
Ne thought .... Some family members within my vicinity were downright sad and unhappy when their son wasn't called out among the first call-outs.
There were a few downright outstanding "kids" in their very early 20's who will be doing damn well if they stick with it over the next few years, but the lack of 'muscle maturity' is evident when they stand next to fellow competitors who are 10+ years their senior.
This new contender by the name of 'Ty' is an excellent example of a future bodybuilding superstar providing that he doesn't lose heart and stays with the game for next three or four years. Until that time he will have to stand next to the older guys on a national stage who have years of muscle growth over him.
Same goes for one of the heavies from Hawaii. I don't recall his name but he's definitely one of the future contenders to watch. Last nite he was overwt at approximately 206 and should have been a 198 pound light heavy where he would have been more of a serious threat.
There were a lot of new up and comers in this contest who have just got to learn to take their lumps and overcome their disappointments until they mature enough to be serious contenders.
So watch for 'Hawaiian Guy', Ty, and the tall, bald guy with the phenominal symmetry to be the 'most impressive' on any stage just about three years down the competitive highway.
I'll try to post a picture of each (Hawaiian Guy, Ty, and Symmetrical Guy) after tonite's finals to make more sense concerning these comments.
