Badell over Heath? WTF?

[bigmikecox]

Gustavo
Mass--Good
Shape--so so
Muscle tone--good
Condition--good

Heath
Mass--Bad
Shape--good
Muscle tone--so so
Condition--good

Muscle tone?  LOL  This isn't men's fitness

At first looking at the prejudging, I was thinking total bullshit how they put badell over heath.  But I got a look at the night show shots, and as much as I don't care for badell, he did get signifigantly better condition wise for the night showing... maybe even a little better than heath, as heath lost a little crispness in the night show. So it could have gone either way in my opinion...  Heath beat the hell out of gustavo in the prejudging, gustavo edged heath slightly in the night show... in the end, they will always give it to the veteran, which in this case was badell.

phil is so young.... he'll be around for awhile. Sooner than later he will be a serious serious threat. But i still think richard jones is better

[Pollux]

I don't get it either.

No Calf`s no placing, at least Badell had some.
High calf`s are an imperfection to a complete physique.
Everyone looks like they are on stilts in the top 4.
In-complete physique.

show Badell and heath from the back and its easy to see why he beat him...Badell is a freak...

Phil was too light to fight

Gustavo's waist is becoming a little on the huge side tho

It was actually smaller than in the past..

You dont understand.
For example,
Yates and Flex,
Flex alway posses better muscle tone than Yates,even if yates is in better condition than Flex.

Have never liked Gustavo's physique, nor can I see what's so great about it. I appreciate a variety of physiques, from mass monsters to tiny waisted aesthetes, and I just can't figure him out.

What sets him apart from other competitors at his level? What makes him special?

[SteelePegasus]

gus was a bit bigger than hype heath..hype heath looked like a kid next to badell

for once you are right on point....rat eater

Yeah he def looked small up there even next to Dex but he did have the 2nd best set of calves in the top 6. If his conditioning was better he could have moved up a spot.

MuscleTech doesn't have a goat whey, he will have Leukic and Creakic though so watch out come Olympia time!!!

[rccs]

Forget about this over hyped BBer.
The only thing i can accept is his condtion. His proportion is good but not amazing like Flex wheeler.And needless to say,his mass is really nothing.

Well said... Heath can not be compared to Badell, not enough mass. He would be competitive in the 80's though...

Here's the thing:

SOMEONE must have said something to someone on the judging panel.

When the prejudging got started and was well under way it was clear to EVERYONE that Heath, Freeman, Dexter and Victor were the top 4. They were called out against each other a number of times. Badell was no where to be seen. Badell was finally called out but with a group of BB's who were clearly not in the top 5 (but likely the numbers 6-12 range). And when he was called out with that group, he wasn't even the best there.

THEN, all of a sudden, Badell was called out with the top group. Suddenly, he's a top contender. it was out of nowhere. They'd already seen him a number of times and yet hadn't put him with that top group. Then suddenly they change their minds?

Hmmm...

honestly kind of refreshing...Badell had him beat and they fixed it to show that...

[LAMA-PAI]
