AWN2004 · Sep 3, 2005

Congrats PP. I just saw some photos and it looks like you will be making the top 5 which I know was one of your goals. Legs looked the best out of the top 5 for sure. Another Pro Muscle pro soon??? Its likely in the cards soon.

Definitely a stacked class there. That guy second from the left is going to be tough to beat. He looks hardest front to back.

Petes quads do look the best, but unfortunately he's still a little soft in the glutes in hams which is surprising based by what his quads look like.

Looks good.

One thing I hate to hear is that a person had limited resources. Do the show, do your best, everyone has struggles and limited resources. We just cant print enough money or go to the store to get "stuff". NO EXCUSES, thats my place, I did my best, leave it at that. :star-wars

Guy in the middle (black guy in red) looks the best there.

Agreed. But we're all on for Pete's next win!

I see it between the black guy in the red (center) and the guy to HIS left (or our right). The two are very close. I think I like the guy on the right, though.

Which one is PP?

I don't think that guy has enough shoulder develoment and that throws off his body to appear a bit under developed compared to the other guy.
I would even put the guy on our far left ahead (just) of the guy you like Skip.

PP is the one on our far right.

SOME REALLY GOOD GUYS IN THAT CLASS!

THANKS FOR THE PICS MASSIVE G!!

I agree with your points on his lack of shoulder development but at the same time I see it as a trade for the quads and I give the guy on the right an edge on conditioning both from the front and the back.

The guy on the far left looks to not be anywhere as conditioned as the two in the middle.

You know me, though. I am all for the pretty look and conditioning so I usually tend to prefer the smaller guys, anyway.

I will go out on a limb here and call it left to right:

4th, 3rd, 1st, 2nd, 5th

I still say 1st and 2nd could swap but I see the other placings staying the same. Even though I would like to see a PM bro higher in the top 5 I think that PPs conditioning is a little off at least from these few pics. I am just calling a spade a spade and mean no disrespect at all. Top 5 at the North Americans is quite an accomplishment and something he should be very proud of. If I end up being correct and it is a conditioning issue, that should be even more motivation for PP because he can always improve on conditioning with much less effort than say brining up a lagging bodypart.

Come on Big A, call the placings, bro! Let's have a little fun with it. : )

Ok, this is how I see them after analysing them:

4, 2, 1, 3, 5

4 - definetely in that place
2 - only lacks chest. All else is really good.
1- only lacks calves, so compared to 2 is a smaller bodypart, one that doesn't affect the structure as much. He looks conditioned, very shapely and symmetrical.
3 - lacks shoulders, back width and calves. Lacks too many things to beat 2. Plus 2 is dryer.
5 - definetely in that place. Sorry Peter, but you looked nothing like what you did when you won the juniors. If you looked like that now you most likely have won.

Big A · Sep 4, 2005

You know, the more I look at it, the more I think 2 could beat 1.
He is certainly better conditioned and he is bigger.
But I personally like 1 because he has a really nice shape, and I personally prefer shape over anything else. I know it's genetic, but them are the breaks.
