100% agree with you. And Nick was about as conditioned as he could get. You could tell that Matt Jansen just dieted the hellll out of him. I think he got this 4th place just on that. Next to all these pros, his mass isn't insane like it was in the NPC. And his shape and aesthetics are lacking....and you're dead on Bboy, if he tries to get BIGGEr, the shape will get worse.
Nick MIGHT just be like another Chicago Pro competitior—Shawn Smith. Just FREAKY looking guy. The definition of a freaky GYM BBer. Some guys look the best in the gym, others look their best on stage. Shawn is great in the gym...onstage? mehh. Nick MIGHT be the best version of that guy. Once again, no hate here. Dude is a freak and I'm jealous of his look. These are just my opinions based on IFBB judging.
I agree.
Nick doesn't have a big frame (far from it). Adding more mass to it will soon go against him. Obviously he can still improve and he can do very well but he will never be a top competitor (top 3 at the O) like some make out. I do appreciate what he brings and I am a fan (one of my fav pro's) but many have gotten carried away with his potential. They thought he would walk this show and it was far from that. I do think he looked fantastic and you can't fault his ambition/attitude but stand him next to a top guy with clean lines and the difference will be apparant. Although there is definitely a massive future in the sport for him (social media etc) and it's great to have the highest goals but I personally think he will be forever chasing his as they are beyond his shape and aesthetics.
