I just competed at the USA
Let me tell you from someone who had the best seat in the house - Backstage in the pump up room.
Richard Jones was by far and away the best bodybuilder-ALL around-on that night- Period. he was better than Kris (and Kris had so much synthol in his tris that it looked laughable, everyone thought that he should be marked down. i am not against the use of SEO, but keep it in proportion to the rest of your body.
Furthermore, Mike Dragna was the hardest one at the show (well, except for Dave Palumbo) . His back looked like a conctete wall. The two pro cards were excellent picks.
Trust me on Jones, I know you have heard the hype, but until you watch him in person, you won't get it. He explodes when he poses, and he poses super. He will do damage on the pro circuit-he will be the next Shawn Ray/Flex Wheeler combo. Give him 4-5 years to pack on another 30 lbs and HE WILL BE MR. OLYMPIA
