2015 Arnold Classic Ohio updates

[KaiGold]

I never thought I'd say this and I'm always gonna go for Cedric(although they'll give him max 3rd), but for me Branch has the best combination of size and conditioning and what impressed me the most was his midsection - doing vacuum on some poses, keeping the abs in in all side shots, unlike Compton, who has probably the biggest and undefined gut...Dexter's also having hard time keeping his belly in... Physiques of the others are genetically superior, but props to Branch for the hard work and posing!

I agree. I'm blown away by Branch.

YYYEEEAAHHH Dexter won

[pakiman]

Congrats to Dexter for breaking the record. A true epitome of a champion.
Congrats to Branch for not regressing further, which at this point is an achievement in it's own right
Congrats to Compton for doing so well in his first show.
Commiserations to Cedric for looking as good as he did and yet getting screwed over for AT LEAST TWO places!
Sad & disappointed for both Evan & Roelly for another year, another less than par outing

for me cedric deserved third place behind compton and dexter . The bodybuilding will not go ever forward towards a better future as long as the judges prefer a warren like yesterday to one as cedric or justin . Unfortunately, the politics of the IFBB know it all , in fact I put in my top 6 cedric at 4 place and I was right , I knew that even if he had been fit, he would get a placement outside the top 3

What about the 212's? Politics there too?

c'mon man.Every fan of bodybuilding is also a fan aesthetic . Every judgment , on muscle mass , on condition , should be considered always starting from a base of aesthetic beauty , symmetry . What does it matter to have legs monstrous , huge shoulders and a chest super vascularized then if you look ugly ? Everyone has different tastes , but on stage we see those who have a nice physical appearance and who is not . In all categories .

I think Dexter deserves the win and it will probably be his last. I'm happy for him.
