Peter is a nice guy with an AWESOME physique.

I don't see him on here saying he deserves anything, he just kept at it until he got it.

Pretty cool. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Pete looks great - what class did he win his pro card in? Light-heavies? Heavies?

Light-heavy. But Ed Nunn just crushed everyone in the overall.

now turn him around...

OUCH!!

From what I can see he looks great and definately worthy of the card

I think Sean Allan's training partner Brandon Ray would have given him fits though if he had competed in the LH's this year.

creepy ass smile..

I think people were expecting Peter to come in much more improved especially in the back and more hardness from the rear...From the pics i think he won, but there is a spotlight on Peter so people are gonna be hard on him...

I actually wasnt too impressed with any of the top 3...I really dont see what is so impressive about Graham outside of his most muscular...

From just looking at this pic he looked amazing, but I went on MD.com and looked at the contest pics , and no offense, but it's like a different person when you turn around.

very true......... that class sucked this year

Pete may have some flaws physique wise, as do we all.

He wasn't at his best at Nationals but the judges found him to be the best of his class that day. From reading his posts here he seems like a nice, down to earth guy. He's a good ambassador for the sport.

Congrats Pete!

Great hams and calves, but the back needs work.

I think guys that overall that the class was kinda weak..But, thats like saying that we couldve had a few members on the board in the top 5 in that show...and no one here couldve done that...Overall Peter was the best in that class...Yeah, Graham couldve took him down, and noone couldve said anything...But, Peter did look good in most of his shots...

I actully thought Mark Alvisa (sp?) was going to drop into the class (lightheavys) but he didnt and lost out to Libertore (sp?) in the heavys...

he would be better off staying an amatuer, he cant compete as a pro.

well said edge...he will do 1 show and than be a well paid prep guy.
Pete is a devoted christian and to make it at the pro level you must use AS
and from the posts i have seen he is against heavy drug use

 

[yehhbrotherr]

yeh uh

he shouldnt have won his weight class, i was there, and no way in hell. i guess every judge looked away when he turned around for some back shots, worste back ive seen..obviously spent more time training that kid on mtv than working on his back. i love bodybuilding, with everything i have, but as far as politics theyll never go away. good job to him i guess. all i can say is GO WIEDER BOYZZZ!!..?

I can understand disagreeing with his placing, but lets try to keep the comments respectful.

Pete is a member here, and he's a pretty good guy as well.

Let's give him the same respect that we ourselves would want people to treat us with.

 

[Smooth_Silk]

ya it was a close battle between first and second. but politics won this battle

 

[OuchThatHurts]

I think he looked great. Excellent condition. Pete represents the whole package. Good guy, good physique, he's well liked and deserves it. He earned it. Why pick the guy or his win apart?

That's a hell of a milestone to achieve.

Congrats Pete.
