First callout


Jose Raymond: having a hard time to get his hams and back to pop in rear shots. Quads are freaky dry and grainy however.


David Henry: Mark Dugdale may be better conditioned, but this is Davids show. Hugely muscular. Amazing side tricep. Shredded arms, shoulders and quad.


Mark Dugdale: Looking a bit undersized. But conditioning improves the longer he is on stage


Guy Cisternino: Though not as dry as most of the others, may make the top 3 here.


Charles Dixon: thickest guy in the show. More than Jose. Amazing. Great conditioning from the rear as well.


Marco Cardona: Very good look for Marco this show. A better cleaner look for him. Filled in some in his torso and legs to give him more balance from last year.


David and Mark in the middle. They step back after first comparisons. Jose out on the end looks confused and breathing hard. Adding Wendall Floyd and Bola Ojex. Everyone else stays there. Guy and Charles in the middle. Guy and Jose are really sweating, but they have been on stage a long time.

Could Jose be in first? Is that why he was left out of the final comparison?

[Bryan Hildebrand]

Nope. 5th or 6th... he is off.

Bryan is really that far off? The first call out video isn't working for me.

[Leigh Carmichael]

Awesome coverage guys!!

[Bryan Hildebrand]

Jose came out in the first 6, did not get sent back with the top 2 and was not called back with the final four. Either he is a lock for the win which is not going to happen or he is out of the top 4.

his conditioning was fine, but he had what I think is a film of water around his torso which really affected any detail from the rear.

we had an upload issue, I will try again.

Jose 6th at best

I am in person at the event, I didn't see pre judging so I have deliberately have not read any posts above so I can make my own opinions without influence. Here we go....
