Great physique and conditioning...until you get to the calves. Just completely throws it off for me. His calves are so far behind, both size and conditioning.

Honestly, my least favorite thing about him is the way he executes his back poses.

Calves aren't too important either if the rest of your body is incredible.

He is 21 years old, by the way.

Martin Fitzwater has been insanely impressive this year.

A lot of guys would shut down from the stress of a serious arrest like he had. Instead he threw himself into bodybuilding harder than ever and has taken his physique up a few notches and won his first show. Big respect to him.

Most improved guy we've seen all year. Honestly didn't think he had the genetics to really make a splash but he is impressive. Aesthetic flow, balance, pop, and conditioning

Emir is SHREDDED, Bravo Chris Aceto

100% agree

I also think Tonio is going to break some souls the rest of this season.

Fitzwater is Titus 2.0

Andrew Jacked is going to be a bigger, better version of Flex Wheeler. The older members here will get upset with that comment and deny it to their graves but it's the truth.

Bigger most definitely, but better? The man´s physique has glaring weaknesses, calves, forearms, not the best looking triceps in the front double biceps pose, there is a lot of flat space from his elbow to the long head which makes them look weird, plus he needs more hamstring size. There is case of mass hysteria going on in this forum with this fella which I´m guessing is the reason some of you are oblivious to reality and the truth

Andrew Jacks front double “kind of” reminds me Shawn Rhoden’s specifically from 2012-2013 but not as polished, other than that I agree with you about the lagging body parts in comparison to Flex Wheeler.

Shelby, purely out of curiosity given your reputation in the bodybuilding world as a pro and a coach. Do you have a favorite fellow pro or favorite physique?

I agree, i just so hope all these updates pics translate to a close competitive show and we don't get to show day and be underwhelmed. I'm not even ready to say Tonio can't beat either Nick or Marty.

No particular "favorite". Flex Wheeler was awesome but would have liked to see him leaner. Rory Leidelmeyer was a fav when I was first getting into it. Lee Labrada. These guys were before my time, but I still knew who they were and their pics were in Ironman, etc. I prefer more aesthetic physiques. Shawn Ray is high on the list.

Those old black and whites of Francis Benfatto were awesome too
Of the current crew, I really like Martin Fitzwater and Keone

We definitely think alike on a lot of things bodybuilding. I would honestly say Francis is my #1 favorite with Shawn in probably second (I prefer young Shawn Ray's physique)
