Ok pics from the comp I did two summers ago, as I said I woke up flat and almost passed out so I drank a gallon of pedialite which is evident from the sweating and water retention that is quite evident. The pic before was before when I was dry and what I think proves I was in slightly better condition for dieting 11 weeks. Needless to say I am not following the water dropping advice of Marlon again :49:
These pics I would say we are even as can be. :wutyousay:

looks like duality has a better chest and braaq better legs,although a safe comparison cannot be made from those pictures.dualitys pics look better and a i think that braaqs pics take away from him.

dualtity needs more conditioning in order to be contest ready.Chest and delts are nicely developed tho

final conclusion:you both look very good considering your age

I clicked this thinking it would be a ton of posts from a ton of people. But I lol'ed when it was just Duality and Braaq bickering with the occasional Tweak as the referee, lol.

Good luck to both in training, this won't be settled until we see side by side comparisons of the mandatories, which is ever done would be awesome to see.

IMO if duality would of lost all the water he needed to lose his chest and delts wouldnt of been that big, thats where he was holding the most water.

Braaqs pictures suck they are sideways, but i can see what he brought and IMO braaq takes it his conditioning was good.

they each brought something good, braaq with legs, arms and overall a better build(no offense), i thought braaq matched up really nice.

duality got the bigger chest, but needs to work on conditoning

cant wait to see you guys now!!!

for the record, I hate Duality's abs more than any set of abs I've ever seen.

god why the fuck do you do that? im giving my HONEST OPINION, you can lie to yourself all you want, but your chest and delts were retaining alot of water, and blakes conditoning was way better and IMO his body flows alot better.


BTW you can get hurt all you want its the truth bro, if you cant handle being critizied dont post any pics of yourself :xyxthumbs:

I think his water was held pretty evenly throughout his body, if more so in one area than I'd say his legs which is not an uncommon area. Jason has a very large chest, holding water or not. I've seen his other pics on facebook, even in a t-shirt his chest is huge. The only reason it looks as if his chest and delts are holding a lot of water is because he doesn't have that mature grainy look. Remember, Jason was only what? 19 in that contest?

muscle maturity or not, he should have strides and veins. i agree he has a big chest but he is still holding water

I don't have veins though.

striations however, yes, he should have had some of them, especially in the delts. I still disagree that his chest and shoulders would have been substantially smaller if he'd lost the necessary water.
