He doesn't need to come in any heavier.  He just needs to be in even better condition.  He wa great last year but needs to be even better.

no man, his condition was spot on
he could be dryer but that is pushing it

his fullness and condition were spot on !
but he was too small next to jay, ron and vic

5-7 more pounds and you may be looking at the next Mr.O

I like Vic but Melvin has a much more pleasant look, he only lacks the size

Melvin looks great and with an extra 5-7 lbs on his frame he would definitely do some damage. His problem, as you well know, is conditioning. I have to disagree with your comment, " perfect physique ". " Perfect physique " would imply that he had Calves too ... which he doesn't. At any rate, if he can do what you speak of then I can see him winning some shows ... MAJOR shows. Just my two cents.

IMO, he already surpassed Dexter last year

I am not a fan of Jay and Ronnie, I feel the 2 best bodybuilder in the world right now are Vic and Melvin, followed by Dexter

Melvins incredible...but IMO hes no Dexter, Dexter flows way better, and has way more mature grainy look to his muscle. Plus Dex looks way sharper from top to bottom.

To do that, he'd have to do this:

Any chance someone can show him the pics and get him to realize that? I mean, i know he's probably working to improve but he never seems to change his proportion. For example, his calves never improve, his biceps haven't really improved, his pecs still lag behind, etc. I actually think he has a lot of potential but he really should take an entire year off and just concentrate on perfecting his proportion.

LOL, thanks. The thing is, I actually think it's possible for him but he'd have to really concentrate on fixing his lagging parts one by one possibly taking more than a year off to do it. But I do think he could do it. Maybe take 3 months to bring up his calves - really blasting the hell out of them. Then 3 months for the quads, then the lats, then to even his biceps and then the pecs, etc.

His right vastus medialis inserts way lower than the left.

its the way his foot is on the ground, hes probablt on his toes more ont he left. it can do that. also not locking out the leg, can make the leg muscles stand out a bit differently than if you would do a full ext.

He looks an awful lot like a young Ronnie in that morphed pic.

Basically he needs to bring his back WAY up and sharpen up his legs and arms to compete with Vic, Dex, Cutler.

Melvin,

I think you have a great physique but why haven't you brought up your calves more? If you did, it'd make your whole physique look more muscular and proportioned.
Title: Re: Melvin, top 3 at the O !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Melvin on April 27, 2007, 09:47:29 PM
calves are a tricky thing.  You shouldve seen them when I first started bodybuilding :-X
It will not hinder me from moving up in the game.  I just need to keep doing what I can to improve without distorting myself.  Calves get better as time goes on ya know.

Your physique is what bodybuilding is all about. Proportionate, with no one bodypart overpowering another.

True. I do agree that your physique better represents what I think is the bodybuilding ideal.

I have one other question: do you think the "ideal" physique has been properly represented the past few years by the Mr. Olympia winner?

(Oh, and what did you think of my photoshop?  ;D)

melvin has the physique and the sponsor infrastructure to win the 2008 Mr Olympia.

I've been saying it for 6 months now, and I'll be saying it for the next 18 months.

2007 will go to Ronnie or Jay.

2008, Ronnie retires and they return the O to the best man.  All things equal, melvin gets the sponsor nudge.

Melvin Anthony is your 2008 Mr Olympia champion.

Nah Stavios Mel's condition was not spot on, turn him around and take a look at his hams and glutes and u can see he holds water back there.. He needs to dry out more down there and then he can do some damage..  Find some pics from that same show of the pic above of him doing a back db bicep pose and you'll see what im talking about.
