Author Topic: Who's Going to Turn Pro This Year ????? (Read 8512 times)

With a new competitive season underway, the NPC USA, Nationals, and North America Championships will soon be here. Thinking on it though, I can't come up with any big names expected to earn their pro card this year. So, who do you all think are the frontrunners? Anybody decent with a chance on a pro stage?

I can think of Stan McGay as a shoe-in this year in his weight class. Also, I'm rooting for Big Gus Carter to snag top honours and turn pro.

if Mark Erpelding is doing this show he'll turn pro.

Gus is Ronnie's training partner, looks like training heavy works

Do they have calf machines at Ronnies Gym?

Tarek Elsetouhi should turn pro (he qualifies already)

MuscleGallery brings you another reason why Stan McQuay cannot figure out why people think he's gay

wOW Gus is huge!!!

what are his weaknesses/flaws?

I think Mike Ergas has as good a chance as any top amateur to turn pro this year, since popular opinion is that he was robbed last year when he lost to Jonathon Rowe.

Rory Liedelmeyer

Are you blind Arvilla? How about Gus's lagging leg development being quite a noticeable flaw for starters?!

nope. It was pretty honest, what I liked and what I didn't. You dig it?

Yeah my vote goes to Jerome Ferguson!

The poor guy has been around a while now and he certainly deserves the win. He has transformed his physique this past few years and that waist is tiny

If he does turn pro with maybe an extra 10lb more muscle then i think he wud do really well as a pro

Its hard for taller guys to fill out enough but judgeing by his improvements of late he looks to have the potential

A guy that tall with that waist and a bit more size wud blow the competition away! he has the potential to be better than Gunter i think (the current tall mass monster)
