With that waist he deserves a good placement.

I know hes hailed as rhe 2nd coming of wheeker... but something about this guy just doesnt seem that impressive to me.

Seems like none of these guys have the muscular quality the 90s guys had... guess its that 'slin' look. Seems like their quality drops as they move from amateurs to pros instead of getting better..

Can't wait until he places ahead of Ramy again

Lustral · « **Reply #4 on:** August 20, 2014, 01:02:23 PM »

I hadn't heard of him til I checked results of 2012 O the morning after. Crazy shape, lacking thickness in some areas (back, chest) but mostly lacking sick conditioning. Looks like he's asleep all the time too.

In this pose he looks a lot like Martinez, but with deeper cuts and smaller waist

Not sure what years these are but Vic was a lot thicker and had biceps not oilceps.

Lol, my thoughts exactly.

Shawn "Tired" Rhoden - Great supplement ad potential there.

I don't know man, some of these Men's Physique dudes are pretty "aesthetic"

Simple Simon · « **Reply #9 on:** August 20, 2014, 01:56:59 PM »

It's that whole "Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream" look. Like he is disinterested. Also his muscles have no pop to them, unlike Wheeler. His shape is very similar, and that is about it.

and decent legs too, which... I'm always worried about
Frank, I'm sure there is some retouching here- it's a professional photograph. but who of our "heros" hasn't had a Photoshop done? This dude looks impressive as fuck. WHY YOU MAD, BRO?

Wolfox · « **Reply #14 on:** August 20, 2014, 02:16:42 PM »

A lot of people don't know much of a difference post processing photo software can make.

Put it like this..i can make a gym rat look like he belongs on stage. I can make top 10 guys look like mr Olympia.

oh a whole shitload! But literally every pro that's ever been photographed for anything has be retouched at one point or another.
anyway, I just wanted to stop in and offer another aesthetic physique. I'm not here to defend this dude's honor, since his body affects me and mine not at all.

You can see that if he jumped into the "big leagues", that his arms would lag behind and his waist would be kinda of wide.
This is a great photo of illustrating the "limits" of one's physique and what one looks like before that big jump. Right now, he looks excellent.

The photo you posted is beyond shopped its ridiculous. This wasn't a case of minor retouching and sharpening.

Roden looks watery. Not one vein can be seen in his chest, arms, or lats in that post.

Search him out for yourself, my dude. I have no dog in this fight. He's a well conditioned WBFF Muscle Model with a great FDB. That particular photo I chose has probably had some photoshop, but doesn't change what he actually looks like (and if you care so much, go see).

He's not jumping into the "big leagues." He was an IFBB Men's Physique pro who was told that he was too muscular, so he switched to the WBFF. BB size is not what this dude is after. I wouldn't call his physique limited, but what I'd say is irrelevant - I WAS JUST RESPONDING TO THE OP'S POST. I WAS SIMPLY SUBMITTING ANOTHER MAN WITH A BEAUTIFUL FDB.

So you think those legs look good, it makes you sound like some random girl on facebook making a comment instead of a pro who knows bodybuilding.

You know I am never responding with any seriousness to anything YOU ever post until we know what YOU look like, right? I have good legs. So do others. This guy has decent legs. The thread, however, is not about legs.

Let's see your legs, asshat.
Or your anything?
Am I still waiting til August 6th?
Oh wait...

ENZO · « **Reply #23 on:** August 20, 2014, 03:22:42 PM »

Rhoden has damn near perfect symmetry..But this shot isnt the most flattering for his arms..i see no separation

He also has the charisma of a turtle

and 0/10 facial aesthetics..no homer
