Definitely one of the best conditioned as usual....but really has an extremely ugly physique. Bodybuilding in its purest form is not really about freakiness, but balance, symetry, aesthetics...etc. Palumbo has none of those qualities. I like to watch the freaks as much as the next guy and Dave is cool as hell but his shoulders are narrow, his waist is huge, his arms are small and his back is really lacking width from behind. It just plain doesn't look right. He had a great routine and always has a great attitude regardless of his placing...but I really dont feel he will ever win.
The really should create a new class for people who can only be described as freaks and let them battle it out for the biggest, most vascular SOB on the planet. Bitch tits, distention, acne, baldness be damned....no holds barred battle for all Freakdom.
