****WHY TONY FREEMAN ALWAYS GETS LOOKED OVER?****

[CYNDER_BLOCK]

He literally is blown away conditioning wise in every rear shot. Look at all the back shots, look at the lower back, glutes, hams, etc. The guys next to him are better conditioned in every pic. Sure he looks in tip top condition from the front, but from the back is a different story and I believe the judges mainly look at the glute to ham tie-in, lower back, etc, as major points when it comes to condition.

Based on the pictures I posted, I don't see who he was blown away at all. Not sure how he's getting "blown away" in your eyes.

Well, that would due to the fact you're slightly biased lol.

Not biased at all, I'm just comparing pictures objectivley. I cannot for a minute think that Cedric looks better than Toney

Look at the ones you posted with him, vince, and dex from the side and rear. Compare the hams, glutes, and lower back. Tony loses everytime.

While I do agree with you that in these pictures he looks less conditioned - I do think that its VERY hard to judge from still photos. The reason is that you have no way of knowing if all of the competitors are fully flexed. Many times you see them and one is mid transition. My favorite is when a pic is taken with a bodybuilder clasping one wrist with his other hand and flexing. Guys will say "look one arm is way off" - if you do that pose in the mirror you will see that its ALWAYS going to look asymmetrical because of the turning of one wrist.

Sorry for getting OT - I just hate comparing from still pics..

I am a fan of Tony - and since I have never seen him side by side IN PERSON I cant really say one way or another. I CAN say that he looks incredible in pics though

I agree with you, however I see the same thing in several photos which is what I am basing my opinion off of.

He looks great.

Why do we see the ones like Pakulsky on the Mr.O stage while Tony watches from TV?

Because Tony left the IFBB...?


Freeman has a great physique, but it isn't good enough to be the best in the world. All the pics you have posted are from front shots, compared his back shots to Phil or even wolf.

I never said Cedric looked better, nor did other people.
