I didn't buy into any of the hype either...but then I saw Phil onstage.  The kid is the real deal...he's every bit as good as advertised.

At this show, however, Dave Henry beat both Phil and Darrem.  That's my call and I'm sticking to it, regardless of the fact that the judges have Dave in 3rd behind the other two taller guys.

Does David look more balanced that previous outings?  I think his leg size verus his upper body is what hurts him, especially from the side with hamstring width.  I don't think his height is that much of an issue anymore, the judges are starting to realize that he always comes in shape, but I think he needs more leg size to balance out his physique.

Bill Wilmore was conditioned, but perhaps lacking in the leg department. Still, Bill is with Vyotech and looks great, so most likely probably 5th or 6th.

Shawn Ray said that being a VYOtech athlete will have no effect whatsoever on an athlete's placing.

Wilmore is legit.  This isn't a snow job if he happens to place very well - he's earned it.

Holy crap, Phil has some amazing arms.  Don't know what he can do about the narrow clavicles, but seriously, if he's that young, he should be battling for the O inside 3 years.  Sick arms!

Phil needs to work on his balance.  Especially while possing because it looks as if he's going to fall over in those rear shots

I'm gonna give my honest opinion about the supposed top two. Before I do I want to just say to Lift that I have no prejudice against Phil because you like him. At the end of the day this is a bb board and I take it all lightly.

Darrem has good conditioning, but I would say I have seen him a bit sharper, but he also looks to be about 6 pounds heavier than what I normally see on him. Darrem is always a favorite when it comes to the smaller shows.

Since I have never critiqued Phil before I will give a little more detailed impression. Tonight Phil brought some pretty awesome conditioning. I have always wondered about all the hype with Phil. (yes even before I knew you liked him Lift  ;) ) so I figured I would give see what he brought tonight before I prejudged him. (no pun intended) Phil has great arms, shoulders and forearms. Unfortunatley for him he is narrow thru the clavicles and no amount of delt size will ever give him that width. This would be more apparent when standing up against guys like Ronnie, Jay, Gustavo, Gunter ect. Phil has no back. No outer lat width and no thickness. Maybe this is genetic too? Darrem is not the widest guy either and he pretty much owns him in the lat spread and back double bi. Tonight Phil is ripped and in the side chest he lacked just a tad of thigh detail. Phil is the type of guy who HAS to be ripped to place well or his flaws will be that much more apparent. I would not go as far at all than to call him the second coming of Flex as Kevin has tonight. Phil seems like a nice guy so nothing personal, but I just don't see all the hype.


Tonight it's a toss up. Flip a coin.

the reason 3 "rising" stars placed top 3 was because the rest of the show was WEAK AS SHIT...

The show MAYBE had 7-8 guys who could crack the top 15 at the Mr. O...

very weak lineup...

Jason Arntz placed top 10 for god sakes? nothing else needed to be said.

I was a bit surprised that Troy didn't make in the 5. Markus...hmmm, shouldn't be there...and then 4th? Looked the worst of all 5 on stage including a few who didn't make the cut imo...

He sure looked disappointed once they announced Will as the fifth contender to stay on stage...

Troy wasn't top-5, but Miguel Filho deserved consideration for one of the money spots.

 Judges got it right by picking Phil Health - Weider's new golden boy
 no surprise here - it was like this show was created to be the coronation of PH
 being in his hometown all - this will be more evident next year if this show doesn't happen - or happens elsewhere - I'm sure many pros who would of have been a bigger challenge smelled a rat from day one and decided to sit this one out -

You still think that's true, now that the results are in?

Even Ron admitted yesterday that being a VYO athlete is definitely an advantage.

Hey, on an unrelated note, I wonder why it took 15 minutes to tally the judges scores.
