2018 NPC Nationals - Hunter Labrada wins the overall!

[deadz]

I would never encourage or agree with my son using steroids. Focus should be on building a realistic career.

Appears Branch Warren is his dad as he is so blocky.

[Fortress]

Has your eyesight gone as well as your common sense? There is no real resemblance. He looks too blocky, he lacks the V Taper, and his abs...man, he didn’t get them from his mother.

I didn’t say his physique is as good as his dad’s, you cockweasel. But there is a similarity of proportion, structure and muscle shape. If you can’t see it, perhaps it is you who is blind.

Hunter’s physique is secondary here. What they have to offer in the form of mainstream appeal is more significant.

How they will address the steroid inquiries will be the interesting part. Perhaps we will just go back to the “finishing touch” mantra although that may be difficult in today’s day and age.

I dunno, taking over dad's company wouldn't be a bad gig. It's a very successful company

Hunter has excellent torso/ab shape, but he's not very lean, so it looks blurry and watery.  But he's definitely genetically gifted with respect to torso aesthetics.

Horrible arms.  That's a real weak spot.

Worst of all, his head is fucking enormous.  His father had a big head, but this kid takes it to the next level.  Very fat-looking face, too.

What is it about today's drugs? Most pros look obese from the neck up.  Too much insulin?

LEE and son ... both great individuals in and outside of the world of bodybuilding!

Good going, Hunter!

[Coach is Back!]

I just went over to MD to see the comparison pics. It wasn't even close. LaBrada destroyed the rest of the field and by the looks of it, the only one that knew how pose.

Which brings me to another issue. Why put in all of that work if you don't know how to fucking pose?

The "sport" is built on lies, post 1970 or so. No way anyone can achieve the build of the top bodybuilders without a heavy drug regimen. In other sports, at least you can be somewhat competitive without dope, even though the top athletes in just about every major athletic endeavor have used.

The only builds that will be mainstream acceptable are the Chris Hemsworth or Dwayne Johnson types, or smaller. Beyond that everyone realizes they are an addicts.

Because no one really gets any points for posing.

I'm actually referring to the mandatories. I was looking at the list of those who got their pro cards...freaking 14 pro cards given for one show. Ridiculous.

Growing a 'stache like his dad would cover up all of those weaknesses.

Not bad at all just skip the drugs.

[Taffin]

can someone do a side by side with him and his dad?

yea... not a fan

Bit rushed but serves the purpose....

[Ted SuperSet]

DRUGS BECOME THINGS

GOLDEN!!!!

[Da Freak]

one of the least impressive "overall" winners I have seen.

He was clearly the best on stage.  Definitely has a genetic advantage and the fact his dad owns a supplement company, but he put in the work.  He earned it. 

I agree with you in general about posing.
