bg0911593, you asked my opinion on these 2 competitors.
First off, I have the utmost respect for any Pro, well......most of them.
Regan is "a fresh look" with great lines and balance.
He certainly needs quite a bit more mass, but he's very young, and if
he doesn't rush the process, like Dallas, he has lots of potential.
Paulo has all the muscle he needs.
His front relaxed pose is "too exaggerated", his arm flair is not flattering.
His hands need to be much closer to his legs.
I think his problem is he keeps bringing the same package.
Judges want to see progression.
He's a little blocky. I think he needs to streamline his body, which means come in a tad smaller but shredded and grainier. He would "pop" more.
This is just based on the pictures since I wasn't there in person.
