Eric Frankhouser

[chris250]

I just want to get everyone's opinion on Frankhouser...He is getting ready for the Tampa Pro Show in 3 weeks...Do you think he will suprise people and make an impact...Or do you think he will bomb ...???

My opinion of him is he his some of the best legs in the IFBB now (yes, better than Branch Warren) Calves are out of this world...Arms are very good, chest and back both need more thickness...Conditioning is very good, as he brought very good conditioning to the stage last year...

The pic I posted is from last year's North Americans...Here he was only 202lbs...

Fix your spelling. It looks like you're trying to spell Frankenstein.

He made the pro ranks quickly. His first competition was not that long ago. I see him as a crowd favorite but until he brings up the upper body more he will have some trouble winning a pro show.

WOW...he is only 202lbs and a pair of LEGOS on him! Looks great and keeps balancing out the physique he will do some damage. What is height?

He's got some of the best pairs of calves in the business, no doubt. But as far as his thighs and hams, they're no where near in the same league as Branch's.

Man IDK about those calves, thats the lowest insertion point for calves ever! Its like a cross between kankles and or a stump... I'm more for Cutlers calves.

He does have huge arms for such a small back, which I find odd. Its like somebody took the arms and legs off Heman and put them on a fitness models body (chest and back).

Major props though, I like his overall appeal.

man eric has a sick pair of wheels on him..

you know i never was really impressed with him till he came out at the north americans and i was already sitting in the audience with my wife and when he came out me and my wife were both like dayyyyuuummm.. he just really stood out and i was impressed to say the least.

 

[Big Dave Smith]

It'll take him a good three years to place well. Once his upper body matches his lower, it's lights out. His back looks weak and his biceps aren't in proportion to his triceps. His waist is GREAT and his legs are too.

A better look at his calves in this one...

 

[Jeremy24]

I really like this guy, just because i can relate to him. He works a full time job while making time for his family and traaining eetc......202 is what he came in at last year. i think this year he is expecting to come in 12-15 lbs. heavier than last year while still staying very lean

 

[MAINEVENT]

Where's Edge? He trains at the same gym Eric does sometimes.

 

[hotttsauce]

I rememeber when we saw him at the upper ohio, DAMN!

 

[TONE]

I think he has an extremely well balance physique. I just hope that he doesn't ruin it like so many pros in the past have in pursuit of more size.

 

[paulwigan]

he has the physique i would like most to look like,

probably not freaky enough for the modern pro but would not want to look like one.

 

[craig3758]

202! He easily looks 215 or better thats incredable

 

[slimjones]

He's got very round shoulders...nice no doubt...but with that chest they somewhat over power his chest even more making it look worse then it probably really is....That's my unprofessional opinion though....I think overall he looks great!!

 

[SABAGOY]

I dont understand how he can be 5'9 and only 202 in that picture?

 

[LATS]

he needs a few more years of bringing that upper body up.. crazy legs and calves but, he appears then in the torso .. will need to take care of that if he wants to place well at all..

 

[TONE]

Agreed.

His physique somewhat resembles Phil Heath's before he really blew up. Phil Heath with better wheels and calves.

His legs are cartoonish.....what genetics.
