Hello everybody !!!! That guy in the pic is Edson Prado from Brazil ( now living in New York ). He is a good friend of mine and a very nice and appraochable guy. He was extremely disappointed not being in the top 15 ... I would have had him in the top 10 myself. Unfortunately, alot of people on here always jump at the chance to put somebody down, and start saying this and that about there physique. This is a very tough sport ( industry ... LOL ) and if you are not well known you usually get lost in the shuffle. The other guy from brazil ( last name Samuels ) looked amazing too !!!! Everyone sitting around me yesterday was like who the " F " is this guy ? Again, unfortunately he is not from the states which is a mark against him. I would say that in time, hopefully these two Brazilian guys get there due !!!! I agree with sarcasm 100% when he says " how did Kamali finish 6th and this guy didn't even get in the top 15.... actually the other Brazilian guy looked better than Kamali too !!! This is nothing new with bodybuilding shows ... I always seem to leave shows wondering what were the judges looking at !!!! If anyone lives in the New York area and runs into Edson at a gym, go up and say hello to him ...hes one of the nicest guys you'll meet, and very down to earth. He always likes to hear feedback from the fans !!!!
Just my 2 cents !!!!
