I expected him to do pretty damn well with the pictures that came out this last week. I think he still needs some more size overall but he's definitely competitive for top placings right now.Holy shit, didn't expect that.. Stu is holding his own there. I'm impressed. Didn't see that one happening.
I wouldn't say it's easy - they go head to head with MartinMan beef stu can be fighting for the Olympia title in the next few years. He looks phenomenal next to Nick Walker. Nick beats everybody easily here though.

I don't think anybody did until the last month or so. He made a good jump over the last year.Tbh he's not someone I've been really following. I've watched him in many podcasts (Baidi Farl) and he seems like a super cool guy. I've just never really looked at him as a top competitor (not saying that in a rude way either.) None the less I'm more than impressed seeing him in a lineup next to these other guys.
Is Krystian Wolski from Poland?He looks very goodI wouldn't say it's easy - they go head to head with Martin
let's see what they choose, aesthetics or size - we may all be surprised
Stu looks fantastic! Pushing Tonio for 3rd! This is some good bodybuilding, just like the good ole days of stacked lineupsMan beef stu can be fighting for the Olympia title in the next few years. He looks phenomenal next to Nick Walker. Nick beats everybody easily here though.
Great pics!I was at the prejudging. Martin was in the center during the first callout of six (Martin, Nick, Tonio, Stu, Angel, Wolski), again in the next top comparison (Martin, Tonio, Nick, Stu), and in the final comparison (Martin, Nick, Tonio, Stu).
Nick is clearly more heavily, densely muscled than everyone there. But Martin has great shape, and next to Martin, Nick's shape looks even worse. In the back poses, Martin's tissue was coming to life more than Nick's. In the most muscular, Martin had more detail through the chest and delts, but Nick is much larger overall. Nick has much bigger arms than Martin in every position. In the front shots, Martin's roundness in the legs makes Nick's legs (which are extremely detailed and conditioned) look shallow. Nick is extremely conditioned and full from top to bottom, but Martin's striated glutes give the illusion of more condition in the lower body in the back poses.
Many people that were there said they would not be surprised if Martin wins. I have some cheap photos I took, hopefully the high quality photos are available soon.

He was 2nd place here last year, so I automatically expected him to be top 4 here.I don't think anybody did until the last month or so. He made a good jump over the last year.
