He wouldn't even place in the top 6. Heath, Roelly, Levrone's comeback, just for starters...

Lots of pros with good triceps these days. Probably because of the powerlifting-inspired heavy training.

Phil developed his triceps by pressing 4 plates in the hammer strength machine

you can tell from his Instagram that he is insecure now about his grill, he hides his smile and when he does smile its a forced closed lip smile showing not teeth at all

He's 268 he says in that pic. He posted a few of his meals, he's putting down anything and everything right now. Toaster Struddel looked good.

Piana created this theme of binging and bragging about bodyweight. Piana, Kamali, Erik, etc.. whatever it takes.

Top 6 with proper orthodontia.

Eric is a good guy but I don't think his comeback will be eventful. I hope he doesn't hire a Guru and waste his money. Just doing it on his own will get the same result.

i'm sure Erik is only looking to get paychecks coming in from universal nutrition again

Assuming your contest prep doesn't cost you more than your sponsorship.

he used to work with cardiac rehab patients......he is mid 30's and he looks like a marshmellow in the warm summer sun. Not very smart.

another pro that never amounted to shit....they take shitloads of drugs for years to win the immaculate IFBB Pro Card then disappear into oblivion as there are thousands of shit pros just like them in the 2nd and 3rd tiers of pro bodybuilding....what a fucking waste of a life

RLS is Strydom-esque...

Still has potential, but comes in much to small at contest time. Bah!

Wasn't he working in the mine for a while? He looked his best at 202 when he turned pro. He should compete in the 212. God knows why he always goes up to 270 then back down to 220.

Not many guys can do well in the 212 being 5'9... Jose is like 5'3, Flex is, what?, 5'4? 5'5? If Erik doesn't put on a lot of quality mass on his upper body and come in diced he'll look like an amateur among pros. The 212 seems to be a short-man's game. If you're not 5'6 and under you just look stringy in that class.

He looked good enough at 202 to turn pro. Worth a try at 212.

MCQUAY looked good in this class he's a bit tall for the division

Hate to agree with this, but you are correct. There was a time in the 70's and 80's when 5'9" and 212# was big enough. That time is long gone. Bah!

He has zero potential in the open class. Will get destroyed.

His best bet is to do the 212 and try to make top 6. That way he can say he was top 6 at the "Mr. Olympia."

Most of these guys bullshit their bodyweight anyways. Remember the 1988 Mr O

This was my fave look from that contest

227lbs at like 6 feet and shredded, good enough to place 3rd, most of the guys today weigh that supposedly at 5.5 but most of that extra weight is glute and waist
