Ok, last weekend I offered Alexxx to take his picture and give him some honest feedback on his physique and potential. Much to my surprise he actually showed up. Stavios was also there. The meeting took place at the Pro Gym in Montreal (which is, BTW, the biggest gym in the world).
Here is my honest assessment of his physique:
1. He was actually better than I expected. He did have decent arms and chest. He is also fairly lean for somebody who has been bulking up.
2. He was very receptive to my comments and not at all arrogant.
3. Is he the next Mr. Olympia? Probably not. In fact I would say that he would need around 2 years of training to be able to be competitive on a decent amateur stage. Nevertheless he does show some potential and a genuine interest for bodybuilding.
4. Upper back, especially lats need a lot of work and so does his legs (he needs to shave too
). For his age he has a good base and judging by his last pictures he DID gain a lot of size. I wouldn't say 30lbs of muscle, but certainly 15-20lbs.
5. He also need to improve his posture (no apparent in the pics) as, like many tall guys, he is slightly slouched over.
6. While he has some decent size in some places, he really need some muscle maturity to have a good physique. Rightn now, despite being quite lean, he lacks muscle hardness.
7. He doesn't look like Arnold, I would rather say like a bigger Keanu Reeves!
