good for him...what is that like 6 2nd's in a row for cormier? that must be tough with the type of physique like his.

I would have to give it to Chris based on the pics of PJ i saw. Chris has better back and legs, and great overall lines.

What the hell happened to Atwood? He's always a top 10 guy.

Arts waste is HUGEEE

Was it me or did Lee actually bring his legs in for the first time in a lonnnnggggg time?

superqt4u2nv · Mar 7, 2005

Cormier was robed without a doubt. Atwoods waste was way to thick for sure. Priest was shredded by far the leanist of the bunch.

Chris should have won ,, Atwood is huge but looks aweful his gut is enormously big ,, Dexter was in awesome shape but Cormier was at his best he should have won ..

Oh and hey tp4u looks like your boy Vic didnt do so well , told you bro

Chris had the complete package but Dex lived up to his name "the Blade" and brought a complete package to the stage which was tighter and more crisped! the Blade won without question

feel for CC

still I think that dex is getting bigger and better, top 4 in the BBing world, CC is amazing, muscle, shape, aesthetics, symmetry, tiny waist. But he lacks those really dry conditions that Jay and dex can bring in. I dont recall when Ive last seen his glute diced and him dry all the way up and down. I still think that overall hes better then Dex right now, but dex's condition is sick and unfair, hes so dry and tight and full, and has a very pleasing phsyique thats hard to not go for. Art was huge

but yea his waist is getting very big, needs to bring that down if he can, but for a big man he can get in shape. Lee needs to be inbetween the ironman and the arnold, he was huge but spilled over at the ironman least from what I saw, but flat (look at his chest) at the arnold and his color was way off but his condtion has been so much better, im happy for him. If CC brought the 99' Olympia shape and condition he would have won the arnold by now. But anyways what do I know, just a fatkid. But much props to all them to step on stage and do that shit, all god guys

talked to victor after the show and he told me that he should have been about 5-8lbs lighter. Didnt seemed to upset about his placing.

Yes Cormier is not as dry as he could be but he was good. Art is huge, but his overall shape is horrible. You know, I hate Dex's abs. The 8pack thing is huge on the bottom and ruins the taper - it looks like an egg with the small end up. Am i the only one who thinks this looks funny? Chris showed no class in taking 2nd.

OK...for all of you who were not there...I was 8 rows from the front..you have no idea how much better Dexter really was. It was clear from pretty much all angles and the back especialy. Lee was in great shape and I had him in fourth for but he could have swaped places with Gustavo and I dont think anyone would have minded. Dugdales legs were the hardest things Ive ever seen in person...seriously peeled. Great show and it was really done well in my opinion

Dam 8th row for sure you had a better vantiage point then I. I am huge Gustavo fan and I would have to agree that Lee could have easlily been 3rd rather then 4th.

arnold classic

Lee's legs looked great, the whole crowd booed when they annouced him at 4th place. Art was huge but his legs looked strange. Gustavo looked great except his gut was much larger compared to dex. I really didnt care for dex before the show. When he won he broke out in tears, I almost teared up myself. The next day at the arnold seminar he told his story and answered a few questions. I've got a lot more respect for the guy now.
