The Official 2011 ARNOLD CLASSIC Thread

[COACH]

I am very surprised with the level of this competition!
Especially when you see guys like R?ckel and Essa so far!
Friends thanks for your great work .. a big hug
I enjoyed it a lot!

****!! I missed it!

It's Branch show! crazy.

Roelly doesn't look bad.. but he is not leveled with other pros.

Evan looks even better so top 5 for him that's an achievement.

Evan is top 2 in this show imo.

 

[COACH]

Wolf might walk away with this one... I wouldnt mind it either but I think they will give it to Branch and Evan will be 3rd!

.........x 2

ps. Dan Solomon is a fag.

I agree... So freakin annoying.

 

[Natzo]

I could see Wolf winning... I would give it to him now that I see these comparisons.

what I think will happen:

Branch
Wolf
Evan

I dont care what people say about wolfs "high lats"... its not that they are high, its that they suck! They are just there and his teres major is whats really impressive. in this pic you can see that his lats are not that high, they are just not very developed to look seperated from his spinal erectors.... i could be wrong but it appears as if its the case and in this pose u CAN see his lat shape as opposed to his RDB in which his lats appear non existant.

Im dissappointed with this show. IMO evan "looks" better then everyone esle... branch will prolly win based on his muscle per frame size but wolf should prolly win because of his impressiveness... Times like these make me sad because there used to be one or two guys that would do battle but in this case theres a slew competators that are all in great shape but nobody stands out as the clear cut winner. I wouldve liked to see Kai or Phil stand out from the pack and dominate. I feel as if the winner here (probably branch) doesnt dominate much other then side poses and muscularity.

^^ Wolf's rear lat spread is awesome there.

 

[Natzo]

I think his lat spread is his best pose.. the wideness is unbelievable..

 

[dilatedmuscle]

^^ Wolf's rear lat spread is awesome there.

yet it sucks here



He isnt arching his back enough so his ****ty lats dont look seperated from his erectors like his in the comparison shots... Pisses me off that he is "really good" when he could be "great". The only muscle portruding is his Teres major while his lats just sit on top of it.

So a closely-fought contest between a host of top conditioned athletes is a bad thing???? really???:icon_silenced:

 

[tkD]

lol @ Branch next to Wolf.

he's looking like a kid.

 

[Natzo]

Wolf dwarfs them in a couple of poses...

Side chest is like cookies for him. Damn his good today!

I would give it to Wolf.

None of them can touch an In shape: Kai, Phil, Jay, Ronnie .... thats whats sad at the 2nd greatest bodybuilding show in the world.

 

[Natzo]

wanna know a lat spread that sucks???


Go to the Roelly lat spread thread.

 

[tkD]

IMO Dexter is done. His legs are getting smaller, and he is far from his best, 2008 Arnold and O.

 

[tkD]

^^If he would have looked like that today, he would have won easily.

 

[Natzo]

So true Daniel.

and his glutes were not on. once again. said.. it would be an easy record grab for him.

 

[Anabolicus]

lol @ Branch next to Wolf.

he's looking like a kid.

Keep in mind that Wolf is closer to the camera, just compare their heads. Branch's shoulder-chest area looks hideous when he does the hands-on-hips most muscular.

 

[dilatedmuscle]

I was thinking this too, tkd. I was looking at older pics of him. I think his best combination of fullness and seperation was at the 04 Olympia
