did not have a pec tear and brought his A game, being full and ripped (he missed the mark this year by about 10% or so).. i think he would be a top 3 Mr.Olympia competitor and quite possibly a chance at being Mr.O.. i honestly think that pec tear really puts his physique out of balance.. but his size, symmetry and lines.. i think they are one of the best in bbing history..

does anyone know who he worked with for his prep this year? I don't think he worked with Palumbo..?

I dont think he hast the back to be in the top 3, all the guys that placed in the top 5 have far superior back then he does, plus he looks thin in the side poses next the guys like greene, branch and cutler. Top 5, yes, top 3...maybe, some people would have to be off, winner, no way.

Side note: His pec tear is less noticable then before IMO

It's true Serb, but he was 5th last year :dunnodude:

He certainly has top 3 potential. He needs to fill out his frame a bit more though.

Honestly I think it's his glutes that really hold him up. That and a slightly undeveloped midsection compared to some of the others. If you look at top 3 this year, they all had shredded glutes and while toneys are separated, they never really look that conditioned.

He didn't worked with Palumbo like he did last year, from a thread over RXm, Dave himself said that they were still "collaborating", but Toney "adjusted" the diet a bit, probably added some carbs don't know..

Toney will never be able to win the big shows. He fades in the lineups. Nothing stands out on him.

I think he had his best chance in 2007. I think unfortunately he is getting too old and I cant see him moving up any higher in the Olympia.
I agree with the mid-section remark to. While he has a great small waist, it doesnt seem as detailed as some of the other guys.

I agree with the pec tear being a blight on his physique, I've said so before. He has great lines and it is a pitty.

But that is a long list of "shoulda-woulda-coulda". He doesn't come in at his best, he does have a couple of areas he hasn't really improved, and add his pec tear on top of that........
