I think it's clear that judges want leaner builds, could this be an improvement from the GH gut Era

He sure is, he sure is. Only 40+ with lots of potential. Dramatic improvements over the last couple of years. Would have been a shoe-in for a top six place in the NPC light-heavies in the nineties...

A better version of Ed Nunn, he looks almost flawless from the front

If he keeps training with Ronnie, you can be damn sure that by next year he will be giving your buddy Phil a run for the money... two for the show, three to get ready, and four for the ho ~

That or he will tear something...
This is the closest that we would see of Flex and Ronnie training together...
I think that did happen once, I am not sure.

As much as he's lacking, I sure wouldn't mind if they crowned him Mr. O. It would totally send a message.

The judging standards will have to change for Rhoden to win the O. Standing onstage by himself much like S. Ray he looks unbeatable. Put him in the top lineup and he fades against the big boys.

Yeah, but I wouldn't mind if they overlooked the big boys and rewarded someone like Shawn. It would really shake things up.

No back.

And this is where Ronnie is beating him up. If he can take it, well, we shall see ~


Not sure why peeps don't see his potential. Prolly the same foo's that thought Branch or Kai shoulda won the O.


Don't care. My predictions were almost spot-on.

Not sure I care. He looks pleasing overall, and not in a gay way. Dude has a flow.

This. Shawn is the current hype machine because he has aestethic disposition that reminds people of Flex (who was harder btw).

For an IFBB PRO a weak back now will remain a weak back later..

At this level if the pros don't already 'have it' as a strong bodypart then they nine out of ten times they'll never have it past a mediocre level. Fixing lagging bodyparts only happens to rookie/intermediate amateurs, past that it's all up to increasing dosages (if they've been moderate/conservative until then)..

The same reason Wolf's lower back/lats and calves will be the essentially the same until he retires.. Other pros with weak arms like Milos and JoJ's legs - they know the score they don't suddenly realise their missing the pieces lol

Thing is, JOJ actually had good legs when he turned Pro...and Kevin Levrone actually gained back detail when he competed against Dorian

Isn't he close to 40? Growing a back at that age would be similar to waking up with 3 extra hard inches on your dick at age 60. Dream on.

The French can help you if you have Wiener issues.  Just ask Mandingo.  All is not lost.
