News from the Arnold

[bigheinz]

I just tolk with Victor Munoz, they where getting on the bus to go to the pre judging.

He told me Victor is totally dry with deep cuts at hes legs and glutes and hams totally striated at 255 so is no chance to loose.

Some body told him that Dexter is hoding water and Gustavo is in a great shape, dry and improved....nothing about Phil Heat, but Markus is unreal, so lets see at 12 the prejudging and tolk to you later.

Damn my money was already on Victor, but if he holds that type of conditioning it is going to be his show.

Same here, except I would switch dex and victor. Although, that webcast isn't the best picture quality so its hard to tell. I am a little surprised at how good gustavo looks.

EDIT: Scratch that, after viewing the close up pix on flex online I will say:

dex
vic
phil
toney
gus

I am with the Dex boys . . . Dex just stands out. Massive thighs, calves look improved and he has a great balance.

I think Dex has the edge in the pre-judging.

Seeing those 4 gentlemen side by side just reiterates the subjectiveness of the sport, it's soooo close between the 4 you really just have to nit pick at the minor details to place them.

Phil Heath looks shredded :st:r-wars

 

[2Sick]

Just spoke with Cormier...he said Its a toss up between Victor and Jackson for first. He said Victor is holding a bit of water. Chris said Heath will place 5th.

 

[km2000]

check out branch from the back, his hams and glutes are rock hard and granite like,
heath looks good in some poses but gets dwarfed from the back
freeman looks like a giant up there and is great chape(huge legs)
dex looks like he always does( which is dry hard and shredded and great proportions) from the back his hams dont look crazy but the glutes are dry as always
vic is in great shape as well, gluts are in, hard and full, quads look a bit watery...

I would not want to judge this one, they each have poses they light up very well and all came in shape to do battle...

 

[bigheinz]

I dont know why they put Heat so high at the first callouts, the guy is amaizing, i agree but needs 1 more year to get the size and maturity, you can see the difference when they put him with Gustavo (witch deserved to be in the first callouts), he needs more moscle everywhere to get in the top 3 but the money and advertising was on front like always.

To me Victor is the winner, Dexter is at 100% but is the same Dexter, Victor is huge and kills everyone in the side chest pose.

Toney dederves de best,
Vic 1st
Dexter 2nd
Gustavo 3th
Toney 4th
Phil 5th

But let me tell you what a difficult job for the judges!!!

I TOLD YOU!!!
