Jose Raymond looks great; Question for The Technician

[big nut]

Jose looked insane at this years Mr O. I thought he looked great at the Arnold this year too, where he took 4th.

So what happened after last years Mr O, where the next couple shows his placings were very low.
I think he got judged against his own previous superior shape and look, and the judges gave him bad placings Cuz of that (like at the Europa Pro last year).

so Technician, how'd Jose rise back to top 3 so quickly?
Btw I've always been a fan of his, & have argued for him in the past. I'm just glad to see him placing well, (& fairly!) again.

His placing was low in phoenix. He bounced back at the Arnold there are videos of him morning of show peeled... and back on track Perhaps, I don't know, in phoenix they were expecting his Mr O condition. I don't know. He is doing the phoenix this week by the way.

Thanks for sharing!
I wasn't aware of a show this week in Phoenix, so I'll follow the play by play here.
Seems like jose is in his prime right now!

I understand that completely.
Like life, Its a process and constantly working toward a goal builds maturity & confidence.

Hes prob eliminated all the small factors that would look like big factors once he's on stage under the lights.
The consummate pro.
