Griffen for the win!   How could he lose?   He's got IFBB tattooed on his forearm!

This. It's like they don't even realize it.

its such a joke...the decline is actually hilarious to witness at this point....

[SomeKindofMonster]

This is the show Levrone should have shot for.
Here's my thoughts on KL's prep.
He's 52 & if he's taking less PED's than he did in his
prime how can he expect to be competitive.
To be competitive (if even possible) he's gonna need to
take what the young guys are taking; the down sound being
he's going to have to risk his health to be competitive.
I could see him at a solid 250 but he's going to have to up
the doses to today's standards. I bet he was 225 at the Olympia.

Omar Deckard and Lionel Brown? I thought these guys stopped competing! And An Nguyen, he has bee sketchy at best.

prize money ? 100 dollars and a protein tube ?

[DroppingPlates]

Sad to hear about John Meadows, since he's known for his conditioning. Maybe he should stick to the 212 class..

[Taffin]

Crappy lineup. Lookout for Charles Griffen, guy has a damn good physique and getting better.

Agreed.  His family have good genetics - check out his brother, Peter...

Omar Deckard and Lionel Brown? I thought these guys stopped competing! And An Nguyen, he has bee sketchy at best.

With their placings they pretty much did stop competing

The winner...😀

Horrible, just horrible. Dan Hill has better arms than him.

[Ronnie Rep]

The winner...😀

underwhelmed. Everyone else must have been way off.

[DroppingPlates]

Horrible, just horrible. Dan Hill has better arms than him.

'Horrible'? Not the best arms but the rest of his physique looks pretty good

[The Scott]

prize money ? 100 dollars and a protein tube ?

A bump up five places in the "KLTL" aka "Kidney/Liver Transplant Line".

[The Scott]

The winner...😀

Good physique and he's smiling versus making a stupid constipated bowels face like Phildo or Roelly.   Not (yet?) unreasonable by any standard and the general public would be far more accepting of a well built man such as this.

[The_Iron_Disciple]

Meadows got last ?? 

[DroppingPlates]

Meadows got last ?? 

Surprised me as well since he's known for his conditioning. Maybe he should stick to the 212...

All of the pics that I took from prejudging are here on NPC News..  I have a few from the finals, but we did not get out of finals until 11pm, so today is family day.

The top 5-6 were pretty good, then not so much...

Gerald did look good, see other pics, but you cannot compare him to the top 10 at the Olympia, it is a different caliber.  Never the less, the battle was with him and Sasan, and it was close at some poses. Dexer Jackson and Chris Cormier were there watching, and they semmed to agree with the results, as did I. They did get it right.     I wished Akim would of been more conditioned on stage because he is a big freaky competitor if he can dial it in

As for other sites stealing my pics and putting them on there, I don't mind, but please just give me credit for the pics.  I truly hate it when they crop out my name on the pics - that is just wrong.
