Here we go!!

Vic looked amazing, you guys were right about him coming up and being the darkhorse of the show.

On right now - Troy Alves. Looks good to me, but I've never really been a massive fan of his physique, so I'm probably not the best judge.

I'll keep this updated with solid, descriptive updates.

Last night's lighting sucked COCK and you couldn't get a real gauge on their looks, plus the 100k webcast was blurry as shit. Tonight it's working fine @ 500k and the lighting is MUCH improved... that's why the updates.

Melvin Anthony:

Truly has brought up his size. The lighting last night (as mentioned) was shit, and tonight you can truly see him improvements. Slow, smooth posing routine to start off, now he's doing his normal b-boy routine with the moon-walking and all. Looks good, I'm saying 7th place as of right now.

Gustavo Badell:

Each competitor starts off with a pre-contest speech of theirs on the big screen in the auditorium. Wow.... he's done something over night! His waist has come down a considerable amount... still holding some water.

His posing right now is talking about which pose he uses to dethrone the current 'champion/s'. Corny sound-effects.. obnoxious announcer building him up to be the greatest.. this really shouldn't come as a suprise to anyone. He's literally having some announcer talk about how much better he is than anyone else.

Posing to 'Rompe' now... not much posing really, just dancing and strutting around like a dick. HAHAHA!! GREAT stuff, shakin' his ass now... I'm done with this one

Johnnie Jackson:

Wow... very solid upperbody. Good music. As I predicted last night, they've saved their peaks for tonight. Amazing how a little lighting change, carbs and diuretics can bring a massive change like this. The webcast is worth it, the 500k works flawlessly and it hasn't skipped or forzen ONCE for me.

Again, solid look. Back is wide as hell! Good improvement there, BDB is a little weak.. Overall much improved.

Gunter Schlierkamp:

Missed his peak BIG TIME! Last night was bad, tonight looks like he killed a 6 of Bud and a pizza last night. He literally has a fat layer over the abs, it's not water.. it's fat. Overall - not impressed with anything. Soft, watery, off by a solid 10-15%.

Toney Freeman:

The Executioner Routine!!! Comes out with axe and mask. Hahaha... his posing music is 'X gonna give it to ya!' - solid, making the X-throw up with his arms.

Overall, solid build. Again, the lighting is MUCH better this year. He looks good, his one flaw (such is with all 6'+ pros) is his legs. Aren't very full and even though they're huge, it's still hard to have tree trunks with you're over 6 feet tall... HOLY SHIT! Hella back lat spread! Look for Toney to place high tonight! I'm guessing top 6 or 7....

His quads are probably his best bodypart

Dexter Jackson:

Comes out to slow, sultry posing music. Looks dry tonight, better than last. Side chest, solid shot. You can tell the GH is getting to those obliques, they're starting to spill over lately... Good back detail on his back shots. As mentioned by a member last night, the fact that he can hold his own in the back shots against people with 50+ more lbs than his is amazing in and of itself! He looks good tonight. Not winning or upsetting TOO many people, but look for a high placing! If I had to guess based on these two showings, I'd say as high as 4th.

vein-x · « **Reply #12 on:** September 30, 2006, 07:56:14 PM »

(so people ARE reading this....

)

Branch Warren:

I still think his color is hilarious. He looks like a walking, veiny white cock... color-wise, and I'm hardly joking in the slightest.

Overall, pretty good. Legs are solid, but something's wrong with his upper body, hard to say. I think it has to do with the '50 year old truker' type high blood pressure look he has. Traps look good in MM shot. Those bi's are still killing him, when you have legs like THAT, it's no suprise though.. Back's decent, detailed pretty well too. Top 10 would be a GIFT. I'm saying out of top 10 easy.. sorry.

vein-x · « **Reply #13 on:** September 30, 2006, 07:58:52 PM »

Darrem Charles:

A thread has been started saying he'll be dead last.. I don't know if I 100% agree with this.. but at the same time I don't know if I'd argue with it

His biceps are killer, but that's about it. IMO, terrible posing music. Some 'screamer gospel' as I like to call it, no place in this type of event... and DEFINETLY not this song in particular anyway!

Overall, not impressed. Dry, sure, veiny, kinda. Top 10? Nope.

EDIT::

Wow, back is soft as F*CK!!! NO detail at all in it, terrible. Dead last? Probably, hahahaha!

vein-x · « **Reply #14 on:** September 30, 2006, 08:03:41 PM »

Dennis James:

Damn.. that upper body is nuts! He actually hit it this time.. he peaked in time!! Perfectly timed peak? No, but better than his last years? Hell yeah!! I'm actually impressed, partially due to my bias, and partially because he actually looks good!

The back lat spread is driving the crowd nuts.. so that's always a solid sign. Good posing music, good routine. The stomach has been brought down a little bit, almost on par with the New York Pro, not quite though. Song transfers to 'Ridin' Dirty' now, he's doing some front shots and again.. looks like he's on the money tonight, or at least not 10-15% off like past showings.

Legs.. yep, they're his weak spot and it's evident in the MM. Good front lat spread. Solid showing. Look for him as high as 6th or 7th.

Jay Cutler:

Here we go....

From the start, gut is the first thign that sticks out at you. WIDE waist. Nice side triceps. Wow... this is actually a VERRRRY similar posing routine to last time, he's changed about 10% of it, but same sounds and effects and announcers..

Holy hell.. that back lat spread = amazing!!!! Good detail and wider than Ronnie EASY!

Classic 'On the knees' posing now, bent down doing side shots and looking good.

Back up to back double bi's and looks a little weak there... rock music.. he's getting into it and getting the crowd into it. Front lat spread looks top-notch.. when he's pushing his midsection in. SOLID side-tricep shot. Decent bi's.. not Ronnie's though.

Overall pretty solid routine. The crowd's going NUTS right now!! Still cheering, music, sound effects.. pretty good. This'll be a GOOD year with this line up.

From here in the Olympia Expo, opinions are flying fast and furious on just who's winning this show. It is far from clear-cut, with passionate arguments on behalf of Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman. Also interesting, the number of people who are saying Victor Martinez should get the victory.

But the most likely scenario is this is coming down between Jay and Ronnie, with a battle as epic as their 2001 showdown -- a showdown where Cutler went into the night show with a slight lead, only to fall behind in the final two rounds.

We have Phil Heath and Mark Dugdale at the booth, going through the comparison shots of Jay and Ronnie, pose for pose.

First pose, back double biceps, both for Jay.

Rear lat spread, both for Jay.

Side triceps, both for Jay.

Most muscular, both guys pick Jay.

That's an interesting near-sweep for the big man, Cutler. Are the judges seeing it the same way? We're hours away from finding out.

Danny · « **Reply #17 on:** September 30, 2006, 08:09:51 PM »

Ok thats two IFBB pros opinion. I bet if you surveyed other pros they would say Ronnie. So if Heath and Dugdale say Ronnie Rockel will get second is it true?

Markus Ruhl:

He steps out to the typical 'RUUUUUUUHHL!!!'...

Looks fucking SICK with the lights dimmed, his silouette... doing the robot posing routine he's well known for. DRY ASS upper-body. Legs look good too... damn! Top 6 maybe! We'll see with the others but... DAMN!!! Front double bi is DRY as hell! Side chest is good. MM (signature 'freak' pose) looks amazing, MUCH improved from last year's showing anyway! Back lat spread = wiiiiiide!

F*cking great song on!!!! 'Freur Frei' - Rammstein! Good timing and getting the crowd into it. Not too many leg showcasings... He knows that's his weak shot. Wait.. there's a leg 'shake and stick'

Overall- Solid posing routine.

BTW..

Jay just said he'll be taking home his first Sandow tonight for SURE tonight to the interview lady.

Vince Taylor:

Haha... on the big screen before he came out, he says 'This year isn't serious, if I get back here next year, I'll actually try. This year is just for fun.

Posing is to slow music, nothing really impressive. For 50, looks good. Now onto a robot-like routine similar to a Jay/Ruhl hybirid, his is a LOT more fluid and well-timed. Impressed! Good music and very solid timing. Sick b-boy moves to 'Goin' Down - Young Joc' damn!! This guy can dance!!!! Hahaa!! Nuts, he's laughing and sh*t, having a good ass time.

Very cool routine! Not WINNING but... OH FUCK! RONNIE!!!!!!
