In Flex Wheeler's report on the Masters Worlds in MD this month, he wrote that he disagreed with the judges' decision and he didn't think Bob should have won. I know everyone got bored of this topic months ago, but it's interesting when a legend like Flex throws in his oppinion on contest results.
"I love Bob, as he and I have gone way back, but
I can't agree with this decision. Bob looked good, but overall I thought
he was carrying too much fat and water. His thigh's sported very faint separations. Bob's always had a good chest and guns, but even here, I felt he had a little fat in the lower chest. There was very little separation between his brachs and biceps in the rear double biceps and his lower back seemed to be
blurred by both fat and water. But the most telling evidence was in the glutes and hamstrings. There was
no separation. A lot of people in the audience concurred that
he was off.
Wheeler offered thoughts on the rest of the placing as well:
"I was puzzled as to why some got top 5 while others were seemingly invisible. I'm not a judge . . . but you can't help but shake your head and wonder. The mixed feelings of the audience resonated throughout the building,
marring the thrill of Bob's first proffessional victory."
He also wrote that he thought
Rusty Jeffers was overlooked; expressed with bold letters and an exclamation mark.
Props to Flex and MD for keeping it real!
