"Adonis has almost pro-size mass"

[FREAKgeek]

5'11" @ 240 can be pro level, especially sporting 4-6% bf.
Schwarzenegger was taller with the same figures.

[candidate2025]

My training partner is 5'11 and 1/2, 200 pounds at a similar condition as Adam and he squats 470, leg presses around 1,500, benches 315 and deadlifts 405 and he's always getting stares doing this, especially the leg press where he loads the machine to the max and also places an olympic bar on it with two plates per side.

I think it's safe to say that 40 pounds heavier than this and 1/2 inch shorter in height is considered "big".

hes not big, or strong....maybe at 15 he would be impressive

[HERACLES]

imho, its hard bc no one really posts good shots of themsleves out of the group. None have ever posted a leg shot..ever..from pics though Bast and GOudy are def better than TA, imho.  Never seen a front doube bicep pic, or nothng TA!

Am I the breavest only to post a leg pic?Right now conditioning is the only thing holding me back from breaking this thing open. imho.

[brianX]

In his "IronAge" thread, Adonis said that 25 lb would be 13% of his current bodyweight. Dividing 25 by 0.13 gives a bodyweight of 192 lb. That means he might weigh around 170-180 lb in contest shape. Most people on this board exaggerate the importance of bodyweight, but Adonis isn't even close to being a top natural, much less a pro bodybuilder.

You don't understand it because it doesn't exist.

It's true, I was serious when I said Adonis could turn pro if he juiced.

I think it's very possible anyway.

I would not have stated my opinion publicly however, if I didn't know for sure Bluto would latch on to it and have a spaz attack.

Thats so retarted. He would be pro if he juiced ? omg..thats absurd man..totally..

ive seen guys that looked pretty good as naturals go on the juice and guess what?not much changed at all,not everyones receptors are gonna work well with steroids,im not an expert or anything and i dont have a great build or anything but ive been in the game for 30 years now to know how it works,it doesnt take a genius to figure this sport out.either you have it or you dont,guys like ronnie and jay have it,most of us dont

[danielson]

Adonis is like Alexxx, he knows he's not really impressive, he just like to get a rise out of people, there is no way he will place in the top 10.

[body88]

Adam. What are your arms taping out at? Looking big. I might enter this thing lol. 210 lbs of twisted steel and sex appeal 

Guys. I got nothing against any of ya. Adonis is pretty impressive in those shots considering he is a natty. Not as impressive as some think but impressive non the less. Goudy has good genetics. Adonis has good genetics as well as bast.

If any of those 3 went on serious competition cycles they would be monsters. i do not juice myself but most all the guys i train with do. Most all the national level guys I have hung around with or trained with had about the size and shape ( in one form or another) as one of these cats before they started juicing.

Either way none of em got pro level size. But for nattys they are very good.

"If I was a betting man I'd say it's a battle between Adonis and Bast for first. Based on what I've seen anyway. Bast is ripped, Adonis has almost pro-size mass. If he juiced he'd definately turn pro." - Oliver Klaushof

Discuss.

i guess this guy has not met any pro bodybuilders

[gracie bjj]

nothin wrong with havin a dream,but dreamin of bein a pro bodybuilder wouldnt be mine in this day and age.first off i know i dont have the genetics and money to try it,plus the age factor would hurt me also.to be honest i just really use weight training as therapy everymorning to help me feel good throughout the day,it releives stress and helps me cope with the everyday bullshit.i just love the feelin of me pushin and pullin that heavy iron and the great satisfying feelin you have when your done and leavin the gym,it keeps me in a very positive frame of mind

you have excellent points,the only thing is not everyone responds to heavy juice cycles,maybe they will and like you said they would probably look great but theres really no way to tell other then to do the heavy cycle,ive seen a guy use tons of juice and get little out of it while my buddy use very tiny amounts and grew like a weed

[jwb]

If adonis has always been natural up until now then even 1-2 anapolon a day would put some serious size on him real quick.

A very true statement mang. I do see your point. By the looks of the three of them clean I would assume they would be houses on the sauce.

[Bast175]

adonis will beat me on legs and back for sure.

i agree,id say 8 out of 10 guys respond really well to a nice cycle

[nicorulez]

Adonis, I don't know how your receptors would respond to a cycle so I can't make that call of "turning pro if you juiced," but for a natty you are damn impressive.  Thick arms and chest.  Good taper with a small waist.  I could care less about your feuds with Bluto, Goudy etc.  You look good and if you did cycle, I believe Oliver (first time ever) that you could easily gain 30-40 pounds.  However, I have known guys who juiced who actually looked worst after juicing as they held onto so much water.  Goudy is a big dude too.  The Mr. GetBig could be PPV soon.

[nicorulez]

BTW, there was a really impressive dude (actually lighter in bodyweight) who should compete.  I think his moniker was "Mesomorph something."  Is he in the show?

[OneMoreRep]

Has he been drinking some of Vince's AIDS? 

Goat,

That was just wrong man.

And he has a really wide waist. Looks wider than his chest.

[UK Gold]

Adonis is no where near pro level. I assume it must have been a joke? He looks pretty good for a kid that trains occaisionaly. Needs to work on his sunken chest though.

[dr.chimps]

I don't know where you guys live and train, but if Adam lived in my town he would make the majority of men, even juiced trainers, look like bitches.

I guess if you live in a big city you will see naturals his size more frequently, not in my city though (population around 125,000).

I tell ya, he would certainly stand out in my gym, what with his 'Member's Only' workout gear and his retinue of applauding trannies. Monster attention would have to be paid.

Haha, who would write this? Turning pro is like the hardest thing ever, being big is not the half of it, you need structural advantages Adonis will never have. Big lad though.

I know who you mean. Hopefully he'll compete. I'm sure there's a bunch of people lurking that will come up and place well in the last minutes. Even people that haven't had one picture up before but would want to take a shot at the prizes. A lot of people are in shape this time of the year anyway.

I've seen average Gym rats who looks way better than that
