When I saw that Arnold was wearing a boot I thought maybe he had seen enough of the no calf syndrome and was donating his calves to Iain!as an ifbb pro (and a bber of course) what r ur thoughts on a top level guys w literally non existant calves?
i mean its bbing... how can u be missing an entire body part and win shows?
I totally agree, Kuclo should have been 2nd, if he just had a little bit stronger back I'd have him 1st even. I also don't think Sergio in 6th made sense, I probably would have had him 3rd or 4th...
Hit post before ending. kucklo No separation in abs or hamstrings. Big as fuck but lost both rear shots and side shots to Iain. Abs Iain. Front lat Iain. Front double was a toss up. Iain in better condition.Had Steve 3rd from the first call out. Complete lack of separation. Barely any in quads. Non in hamstrings. Low back was holding.
Sergio looked a bit soft to me, lower back, love handle-things. Over-all very good, but I think Justin and Steve still looked better...When Kuclo poses, nothing happens, I'm not a fan of Ian anyway.
I would have had Sergio and Justin for the top 3 behind Nick.
How do they award the Pest Poser Award? Is that somehow voted on by the crowd?Check out this bullshit, the Arnold Classic is supposed to be "different" because they score the posing round, Arnold himself implimented this rule. It looks to me like the judges clearly do not score it from this scorecard. How could the person who got "best poser" for example, get 6th in posing? Some of these guys didn't even have real posing routines, they just went out and did poses to music, and it didn't change their posing round placing at all. I'd say the judges are making an end run around Arnolds rule because they don't agree with it.

Sounds like Ian wasnt even a thought in prejudging when it came to 2nd place.
They did drop the posing round decades ago, Arnold personally brought back scoring to the posing round a few years back, only at the Arnold. Both most muscular and best posing are awarded by judges, sponsors have nothing to do with it.The public does not vote, neither do the judges, I think it is an award granted by a sponsor. Also the most muscular.
But Sergio won the award for the best poser, but his routine was worse than that of the boys who placed better than him? WTF!!
I thought they stopped evaluating the posing routines some time ago, there was a lot of talk when Kai defeated Cedric, they said that Cedric was winning the show but Kai overtook him because of his routine.
