William Bonac will be the "darkhorse" for the Olympia.

Shorties deserve love as well (no homo)

Plus, many of the shorter guys (Bonac, Lewis, Correra, David Henry) come in better conditioned than the open class guys.

That's def true

x2. People are calling him too short. But that is why the 212 was started. For the shorter guys, who do not weigh 275 pounds.

Haha, SF taking things personally .

Not really, considering I am not an IFBB pro, and it really doesn't matter to me if they have a 212 class or not. Doesn't affect me. Just speaking logically.

Try harder to troll me, Che.

I don't care how short the guys are.  If the muscle, separation, symmetry, conditioning and posing are there, they should place well. There was a time when guys like Momo Benizza and Lee Labrada placed high as there's no reason they shouldn't now in the open categories.  Most of the guys look like shit in the category anyway.

nice to see a guy not sporting that blown out bloofy look

X 2 Height should not be a factor.

SF1900 favorite bodybuilders  , Momo and  Flavio

[falco]

those aren't oil lumps!
he's one of the few who doesn't need spot injections for his arms, short limbs + long muscle bellies = big full arms.
his triceps are just stacked because of the length of his arms and amount of the arm his tricep muscles take up.






here's a guy who has a lot of oil in the upper triceps and arms!

Everyone in the olympia lineup does sites injections in arms , delts, etc.

SF1900 favorite bodybuilders  , Momo and  Flavio

Actually, my 3 favorite bodybuilders, when I cared about pro bodybuilding

[SquidVicious]

If you don't think he's site injecting those arms, you probably still believe in the tooth fairy and post workout recovery beverages.

[SaintAnger]

Just when you thought they couldn't take any more shit...

[jugheadjones]

he looks great but when guys that short stand next to the mass monsters, it just doesnt matter what they look like these days, they get lost in the crowd. That being said, how close is he to the 212 cutoff?

[Ronnie Rep]

5 thru 10 should be very interesting this year.

do you see Phil taking it again this year?

[WOOO]

That guy is ugly

[goku]

site injecting gear for more pronounced peak definitely, everyone does that.
but seo to the extent of other pros?
his arms are by far his strongest body part, he would risk screwing up his arms (triceps) rather than improving them with seo's and throwing them out of proportion.

his triceps are long bellied on short limbs, when contracted they can bunch up due to their size and people straight away say oil bags.
not the case imo, only need to look at his triceps to realise that.
Roelly has similar and so did Lee Priest - long muscle bellies on short limbs.

bicep peaks, yeah no doubt there's some site shots to enhance peak.
nigh on every other pro would be but the shorter guys with thick triceps due to structure don't need to and only risk blurring lines, striations and throwing them out of proportion.
not much to gain for them because their triceps are already very good.

[Ronnie Rep]

do you see Phil taking it again this year?

Yup, I think Rhoden could slide into 2nd if he improved his back, and held onto a little size he put on in the off-season.

[The Scott]

Well since it's been hebroscientificallizedly truff that the original horse was black (das a fack, jack) then how could he not be anything but a dark horse?

[Mobil]

he has a weak back.. will never place well. you can see it next to ronnie rockel. when he does front double bicep his lats dont pop out like wings

[Parker]

Look at that back lat spread again. His Rhomboids are thicker and fuller than Rockel's. And he has a good shape to his lat spread.

Bonac reminds me of that other 5'6 African competitor (with dreadlocks)who lives in Germany. He used to pose in that "pop locking" style that Melvin Anthony (by way of John Brown) popularized.

[Zillotch]

He's actually got a set of calves on him – could go places.

[Hulkotron]

This guy got hosed royally at the O last year, showed up looking great and placed 15th or something.

Hasn't "paid his dues" I guess.

[WalterWhite]

Yup, I think Rhoden could slide into 2nd if he improved his back, and held onto a little size he put on in the off-season.

He really did pile on the weight it will be interesting to see how he looks diced.

[old-school-lifter]

I don't think bonac will make much impact

too short

some great arms and delts but his back lacks width- look @ that shot next to rockel

he's abit like Johhnie Jackson but without a great back like JOJ
