woa..................... ......Awesome!
-
Wow - looks great. :o
-
How can he NOT be winning competitions??? What is it about earning your dues? This guy is incredible. No glaring weaknesses except his lats are kinda high...but DAMN, perfect proportions and he is huge.
-
yea...........when i saw him in person i was blown away
(and i have seen just about every pro out there)
like a Mass Monster version of Flex Wheeler!
-
woa...........................Awesome!
When/where are those pics from?

I guess he forgot to let Getbig.com know :'(
He looks awesome in those pics and his chest looks better every time i see it :)
-
a whole new standard.

cant see any reason why tony doesnt place better at shows.

Before the recent pec tear he had only minor weaknesses (arms, legs and back all needed a little size) which he adressed and other then that he still has yet to show insane conditioning but he has never had horrible conditioning either.

T H I C K
How many weeks out, do you know? Jeez...
-
Holy shit .... :o look at those proportions and shape .....amazing v-taper , great quad sweep ....the guy is gonna hit it big one day , one show that 's all he needs......and he could pull a stunt like Cutler or Gustavo.. :o

True, If toney comes in a little more shredded he will win shows
-
I did'nt forget you guys Mike A is just that much faster than me with the clicker. lol Those are from may 20th and 25th. I think that was 13-14 wks out I was 305lb same as now. I'm alot harder now though, started cardio on monday and bumped up the food here we go...peace
-
Damn! Looking spot on.
I honestly don't see why you dont place better, if you keep making such dramatic improvements the judges are gonna have to place you better.
If the weiders rule the roost like we are led to believe i don't see why you arent getting a better crack of the whip, surely you're look is far more marketable then ronnie or jays.
-
Damn near perfect
-
AWESOME POTENTIAL!
-
Toney Freeman wow! brought up your arms and still have a tiny waist
-
Toney Freeman and Victor Martinez look like superheros. my new favs.
-
Toney has all the tools to be Mr O. That pec looks like it has healed perfectly......
Guys huge ripped and has shape!
-

Toney is GONNA win very soon. He's got an amazing complete package...the only problem is he just recently "broke-out" at the Arnold and San-Fran (2006) but in both shows he was sporting a pec-tear and tiny bit of softness (maybe water) but that's all fixable, and the judges know he's got potential but they only gonna award a guy like that when he comes in spot-on Hard as nails. I'd say he places top 5 in the Ironman next year Top 5 San fran...and maybe takes a few of the smaller shows (Australia,Toronto,Europa...etc.) in 2007, but this is only if he does what we expect of him.
I think he can! Alot better than Chris (can't crack top 10) Cook!

Well put... I agree! Those are impressive pics.
-

This may be true but it pisses me off every time I hear it said.
FFS, high lats are a genetic trait [weakness] yet critics ALWAYS signal these weaknesses out like they're the athletes fault or something. It's not like these people don't train their backs - or whatever body part that may be a weakness due to genetics - or don't train them any harder than the next guy.
Like brachilius said, Toney's proprtions are damn near perfect and he has size to spare .. . .. . and muscle maturity is still waiting down the track for him! So, can you even begin to imagine .... :o
Hang in there Toney, your day will come.
Awesome physique, awesome guy and will take pics with anyone/anytime if you ask .. . .. . with that brilliant front double biceps pose he does!
A huge fan!
-
Yes! he has that cool fat roll on the back of his head!........I am now a fan!

Alexxx, maybe you can offer some training tips to Toney. ::)
-
Now thats a bodybuilder, how can height not be a factor or be seen as a disadvantage, i for one am sick of seeing over muscled dwarfs runnin the sport,if guys who look like that start winning, the sport will be better recieved by the public, muscly dwarfs belong in the circus where theyve always been viewed, not on stage.
-
Hello Toney!! Looking great big man!! your arms and back thick have come up so much and thats even so nuch harder when yiou are a tall man to have these bodyparts really stand out! so well done!! This condition at 305 i cannot see you being under 290 on stage!! Are you doing Europa Toney??
Good Luck! :)
-
What's up Luke!? Yes, I am doing the Europa. I had planed to do the NY and TOR. I changed my mind after I saw the results of staying on my diet after the spring shows. I figured with 5+ months of eating clean and ball bustin training I'd be ready to make my move...peace
-
mr. freeman how are the 100 pound dumbell presses treating your chest nowadays?
-
Toney you look unreal Back is look very very THICK.
You have the complete package, One of the physique I look upto in the world of bodybuilding ;D

Best guy out there. Lacks nothing and has everything..

certified Monster right there.

Hes putting it together, for sure! 8)

Next to Rusty Jeffers, you got screwed over the most. I was at the Ironman and had you in the top 3 easy. Good luck this year, you're way underrated!

Hey Big Toney, I can't fathom why you have not placed MUCH higher at shows??? The only possible reason is that your body is so well blanced and in ideal proportions, you don't have one body part that stcks out too much and look more classic than freaky despite your mass. Sad how the sport doesn't value an ideal physque.On behalf of the metro ATL bodybuilders, I wish you the best. Howard
-
Toney looks awesome in those pics, like a big Dexter Jackson.
-
Very impressive from the front. However, what impresses most is his thick back. He has an awesome taper and resembles, but does not quite match (yet) Ronnie. However, his waist is tight and he gives the illusion of an incredible taper. If he hits peak conditioning (ala Blade), we have a new "Mr. Next." If he puts on ten or fifteen pounds of serious muscle, he could set a new standard. Damn, he is one big dude.
-
HUge congrats Toney!!
Way much much improved!! :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

He does not come in lean and dry enough. Just b/c somebody looks good 6-7 weeks out, does not meant they will look good onstage.
-
Very nice overall package.
If you are looking for constructive criticism I think your glutes and upper legs lag a touch behind your upper body. If you could bring them up just a bit you would have one of the best physiques out there.
-
toney when you blew your pec out who was the doc and where is he from that fixed it he did one hell of a job on you GOOD that is
-
Way to go Toney lookin' big and good luck at the the Europa.

Hey what's with the bashing ?!?!
Toney is a cool dude he doesn't deserved to be bashed like this.
-
No no no bashing at all! Its just that he looks better offseason to me. Looks fuller like he is now. That look is good for him.

He must be looking at old pictures - Freeman has covered all bases

i did from the guest posing at the west palm show mike did. he looked wayyyyy better than the may pics.
-
yea...........when i saw him in person i was blown away
(and i have seen just about every pro out there)
like a Mass Monster version of Flex Wheeler!
hes like a mini version of coleman, not much smaller, but smaller with the same porportions. (except the pectear)
-

same size as ronnie, just a few inches taller.
-
At this point in time, Freeman is better than Coleman. He is the best.

No I really don't think so. His placings don't reflect it but we all know placings are just arbitrary bullshit for the most part anyway. IMO he is best combo of size and shape of anyone competing. Aside from a minor asymmetry due to his pec tear, he is flawless. I'm not a jockriding kissass, I look at pro's objectively and that's how I see him.
-
Ok with Toney he has all the tools to do alot of damage and he will be on the Mr O stage this year.. Only thing i notice about him is when he does his front db biceps pose.. His lats don't pop out enough for a guys his size. His lats look great from the back. Just from the front they need work to hang with Ronnie and Jay. So Toney hit the dumbell pull-overs, u should be using some 250lbs dumbells to get your front lats bigger. I know Ronnie does..
-
When Toney stood next to ronnie on May 15th - both in the off season - It is the 4th time I EVER saw that look on his face
The other times-
'98 when flex was standing next too him
The GNC show when gunter beat him
The Challenge round - when Badell was picked
It is true - "If " Freeman has any weakness - it is callouts , The Pec - tear is healed and the impovements have been made and he keeps making them.
He has beaten people hands down GNC show 04. and 05 , NY PRO, The Arnold - both 05,06 and the Ironman and of course the San Fran.
Never complained - just went too work , the marks of a true champion
FREEMAN IS A PEOPLE'S CHAMPION
Thanks Ronnie for 8 years and this final Year - but make way for the X-Man

Looking huge Tone! And you kept the small waist, when you make your move they won't know what hit them.

same size as ronnie, just a few inches taller.
dont be silly. Toney's pectear has held him back, and his lats dont flare well from the front, if he can correct that and nail it dead on he would be really competitive.
His muscle maturity is just great.
-
what is wrong with everyone saying tony is the same size as ronnie. tony may have a bigger structure but ronnie blows him away in terms of muscularity, their arms and legs aren't even close, along with chest and back, oh ya and delts and hams, wait on everything, except calves. however, i do believe he will do some damage this year and in the future. he has great size and shape, once he nails his conditioning, i mean super shredded he will be the new champ. but that is if......
-
Toney and Jerome have a lot in common! HA! :D
-
woa...........................Awesome!
looks like Uncle Jemima with that bandana on

You are right he is not the same size - He is BIgger and tighter. Everyone agrees 98 was ronnie's best - well ronnie was not 320 back then and he is not carrying it as well as he use too. Freeman has always been told to add weight - however he never wanted to do it right away and ruin his shape -
He stuck to his plan to add weight over a couple of years and be the best pro he can to the fans by being in shape when they meet him and representing the sport with class.
Funny - other bodybuilders can compete with structure flaws but Toney is getting judge on perfection. IF This IF that... He is the best of both worlds - Shape and Mass added with a little class.

Absolutely 100% correct. There are guys with MAJOR GLARING flaws that win shows, Yet Freeman is nitpicked to death over minor,minor shit.

Groink are you implying the contest are being won by BB who have no chest , a smooth back, standing 5-5 tall, from austrailia, all the while people calling him Lee??? Thats gayer than a Colossus_1986 photo shoot in the back of a vitamin shoppe.

I don't know about that....What I'm saying is there are contests being won by bodybuilders who have no chest, a smooth back, standing 5-2 tall, from Australia, all the while people calling him Lee. Also contests being won by bodybuilders who are narrower than a credit card and being touted as the next mr O.

I would venture to say that certain 'gifts' are as wide as a box for a brand new pen....

tony has never won anything on the pro level, you guys are looking at offseason type photos and saying he is huge and no flaws or whtever. the fact is that in all the shows i've seen him at, when he is in competition shape he loses fullness and tends to look a little thin in the delts and arms. i am a fan i am just arguing that you saying he is bigger is ridiculous, ronnie is much more muscular and presents better conditioning from my perspective.
he is almost 40 i think he should speed up the adding mass part if that is his goal because time is not on his side. maybe he added it a little to slow, while people like ronnie who apparently added mass to quickly will win his 9 sandow this year.

My thoughts exactly! Tone is headed for the big time.
-
if he dialed it in with a little more lat width from the front i think he oculd beat dexter.

That is why people say he is underrated, because he should of been compared earlier in his career- 2004 GNC he was compared to Kevin and jay and then shuffled to get him, back in line.
He is a Bodybuilder who brought Shape and Mass to the game - Ronnie has lost alot of his shape and has retained his mass- 2006 Toney brought the packages the Judges asked for - not the fans!
For the Fans - he is always approachable - Class act and never short of advice.
There is a huge diffrent between Toney's Off season and every other bodybuilder- He has NEVER gotten fat and sloppy for the offseason. Just not his thing! However to go from 269off season to 310 off season with the same lines and better conditioning - Is Dorian and ronnie like !
One diffrence - he brought the shape with him - CONGRATS BIG T

lookin good... very small waist..def one of the better shaped pros at the moment
has def brought his arms up....
looks complete now
