Le 1er callout des -212 est d'un très bon niveau ,ça change de ce qu'on a vu toute l'année .

Commentaires Gilles de MD :

Men's Open pro now...

1 - Jaime Atienza - Mass monster! Not a bad shape either. Too much oil on, I can see his condition though. It's pretty good. I like this guy, he's got areas he can improve mainly detail but he's got all the goods, just needs to pull it in a little. 10 pounds off and he could place well. Heavy, thick legs. Just a really big, big guy. Needs to bring that waist in. Lighter bro!!!

2 - Grigori Atoyan - Tan STILL too light dammit. Great arms, massive calves. What's that ridge on either side of his glutes? It looks suspect. A tear or ya know? A 'bee sting'? Not bad condition but doesn't stand out here like he has in previous contests.

3 - Thomas Benagli - Flex's Arnold voiceover? Wow, he looks good tonight, even better than yesterday, this guy is on the way up in this sport. Improving each time I see him. Needs to watch that midsection though big time. It could scupper things before he really takes off. Size AND aesthetics, no more size now, just refine that body and watch the placings RISE!

4 - Elvis Brown - Silly amount of mass, arms look 23" at least. But just lacks quality cuts and separation. Not really pro level conditioning but monsters are always fun to watch. Stomach protruding. Chubby bum! Frikkin' massive though.

5 - Cecil Croasdaile - Up until earlier today he was the reigning British overall champ. Then Anth took that off him. Looks better today but still not as good as last year's UK finals. Huge legs and arms, so much potential. Could make a dent in the Master's Olympia if he really nails that condition again. Glutes are ripped but again - NOT like last year. Come on Cecil, fulfil that destiny!!! You can look better than this mate.

6 - Eric Fankhouser - His wife told me earlier he was even better today. His music is messed up so is posing to DJ's choice. Best condition I think EVER as a pro? Legs? Well enough about the, they're crazy. Upper body is really filling out, chest looks thick! Delts, arms too. Whatever he's doing he needs to keep doing it!!! Another year or so and he'll be a threat in every show. Nice condition, he's nailed it.

7 - Toney Freeman - Nice sparkly pants! Hmm, better also today, looking forward to seeing Johnnie so I can decide who's gunna take 2nd here today. Hams are dry, back nice and tight and wide. Back a little watery. Coolness personified! Always love watching the X-MAN!!!! Still up there kicking ass. Quads are sliced, weren't this dry yesterday, no Sir.

8 - Johnnie Jackson - Wow! 2nd! Sorry Toney! Looks 100% better than yesterday, HUGE difference. At his best here today. Chest, traps, arms, back all insanely big. Could he beat Rhoden? I really don't think so but he's damned close. Back shots are drawing gasps. Lat spread so, so wide. He's ON!!!! Crowd loving EVERY shot he hits. Big cheers.

9 - Ari Kokkenon - Legs ripped, dry, but upper body slightly behind. Great calves! Condition is really tight.

10 - Yuri Leonov - Freaky Russian! BEAST!!! Tan is better today. Why have so many guys got it right today as opposed to yesterday? Look at THEM QUADS!!! You could cut your finger open on them bad boys. Not a drop of water or fat anywhere to be found. Strong showing.

11 - Robert Piotrkowicz - A crowd favourite, what does that tell you? No-one matches this condition in this class. Colour is perfect, he's full, detailed, REALLY impressive. Crowd going bonkers. Everywhere just exploding with lines and splintered mass. I hope he doesn't actually explode, that would be awkward. Peaked to perfection. I hope he makes top 3. Really I do.

12 - Shawn Rhoden - Big intro from Mr Ray on the mike. Crowd giving a lot of love for Flexatron! He sends shivers this dude, poses so slowly, so controlled, the music is always powerful and classy. Rhoden, I bow down to your greatness! Front double bicep, well, what can you say? He's drier here today too which I actually did not expect. The pro ranks has been needing someone like this, the mass to go up against the biggest and best and the aesthetics and lines of the 90's pros. Could watch him all day.

13 - Ronnie Rockel - Tan is BETTER, finally! Even better tonight but still have seen him tighter and harder. Always so full, round, but 5 pounds too heavy here. Short guys with this much mass have to bring it in or they look blocky. Booming, powerful music sending tremors through our seats! Nice.

14 - Alvin Small - MUCH more like it Alvin!!!! Tightened up, filled out over yesterday's disappointing showing. Hams and glutes still soft but at least he's got stuff happening when he flexes today! Huge and aesthetic, told him to do Prague and Master's Olympia and show us all how good he can look. G-Man approves but we can still get more out of Big 'A'...Cool dude all round.

15 - Tommi Thorvildsen - Better than yesterday but still a shadow of his former self sadly. Arms have shrunk, I know Tommi's training was always heavy and brutal, his body is beat up but this guy loves to compete. Still, I was excited to see him back.

16 - Roelly Winklaar - Again, looks SO much better here tonight. Fuller, tan is better, Looks ten pounds heavier and ten pounds drier tonight over yesterday. Still a little blurry but a good showing. Crowd loves a bit of Roelly! Big response.

17 - Hidetada Yamagishi - One of my faves, one of the few great posers left today. Crowd going up for Hide! Wish all pro's posed like this. Poses with precision and grace, just stunning. Looks fuller tonight. Still not back to his best, 2013 will see that I'm sure and beyond. Told him NOT to go 212, stick to your best Hide and that's in the Open!!! Great grutes! Err, glutes. Always smiling.

- Shawn announcing Toney Freeman as 46! "But still younger than me" Shawn adds.

Lineup out! Shit, Alvin looks great, just needed to be sharper.

- 1st Callout - Freeman, Rhoden, Johnnie and ROBERT!!! Nice. I like it.

Sayé ils ont dégagé Roelly , sa sent le 4 voir 3 eme place pour Piotr.

- Robert killin' em on condition.

- I'd have Freeman 4th in this callout, Robert is bringing it!

- No-one's touching Rhoden, sorry MOB! Johnnie close but no cigar bro.

2nd callout - Roelly, Rockel , Hide and Fankhouser.

I like Eric in this one, looks best I think. Hide and Rockel better but not back to their best. Roelly looks good, improving.

3rd callout - Benagli, Alvin, Cecil, Atoyan, Leonov.

- If only Alvin was tighter in the glutes and hams he could be taking these guys. But not today, can't wait to see him in Prague and the Master's Olympia.

- Benagli taking this one I think. Legs are BUTCHERED!!! Sliced and diced.

4th callout - Elvis, Jaime, Ari and Tommi.

- Jaime taking this one. Ari looks good but those biceps, are they torn or 'stung'??

- Jaime is fading fast. Flattening out, and lost that dryness. So quickly though? Weird.

5th callout - Roelly, Robert and Rockel.

- Robert taking this with no trouble at all.

- Roelly vs Rockel? Hmmm. Rockel. Yeah, is improving.

si cela se trouve Roelly va dégringolé niveau place...

6th callout - Freeman, Rhoden and Johnnie.

- Top 3? YUP I'd say.

- I'm going with JOJ for second. Looks like Robert is 4th? Roelly 5th?
