2017 IFBB Chicago Pro Official Score Cards

[devenidas]

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.

I like your analysis MT. spot on ( btw I am UKBFF head judge Dennis Christopher nice to meet you) ok ok joking I am just a nobody except I do have my pro muscle bro card if you want to see it lol

x2 same package. Ok he is plenty big but better package can also mean coming peeled. that's what he needs to do.

Paula can 1000 percent improve if he came in as conditioned lets say how Sasan came in at new york. He will most certainly improve his placings.

One thing which doesnt sit well with me though he keeps changing coaches in the past. Lately he had stuck with current coach Amer the hammer and done good few shows with but every show he is lacking that hard granite crisp conditioning. He does not look sharp and tight. I think he need to switch coach and try someone else. He has given Amer a lot of runs and its clearly not working placings wise. Paula had a lot of potential and we want him to do very well.

Judges cant keep overlooking if he came in peeled. He does have a overall pretty body. little blocky like MT said but its not a deal breaker. He can certainly make things work. Best wishes to Paula.

Nice analysis Dev!

Regarding the coaching.
The unknowns will always fall back on the athlete.
Is he doing EXACTLY what they agreed to??????????????????????

Or, another thing that can happen, is the athlete starts to listen to
other voices. Often this happens towards the end of a prep if the
athlete starts panicking, feeling that he is behind schedule.

There are pro's right here on PM, that start working with a coach,
and decide at some point to "do it themselves" and blowing the whole
deal.

The inner workings of a coach/athlete relationship have to be constant
communication and trust. When that breaks down............the end result
is usually not good.

The athlete's vision of himself and the coaches vision must be the same.
A good coach has to be a good listener and not get stuck that his way
is the only way, especially if progress has halted.

If the athlete is not following the agreed upon plan, the coach cannot
correct issues as they arise...........and they always do.

But if the athlete is a soldier and follows the game plan to a "T", and
falls short after a few tries, I agree........time to make a change.
