I think rhoden is a much more polished bodybuilder than Cedric...but are those pics from last year's Olympia? Shawns pictures look overwhelmingly bad

They are from their most recent contests. Shawns are from the Prague pro I believe.

Yeah at their best Rhoden beats Cedric on muscularity, specifically the roundness of his quads under that small waist. And his front and side relaxed poses really make an impact before the flexing mandatories even start.

Both guys don't have enough arm detail on the front double. It's very noticable when Phil, Kai, Dexter and Dennis have so much of it. And I don't think a bodybuilder with Rhoden's back should win an Olympia, though I'd rather see him or anyone win a Sandow before I'd want to see Phil Heath win a sixth.

Cedric needs more overall size for his frame.

Out of all the "shape guys" I think Beyeke still has the most potential. He's younger and has the best lines in the sport. The conditioning and consistency of the conditioning, as well as his hamstrings are really holding him back.

What you cannot forget is the fact that ( as Chris said) Cedric has snapped out of it. The result of which we all saw at the Arnolds and that was within just months of him coming 2nd to Branch at that show ,the name which I cant remember, that was said that was the turning point. You have to believe that if indeed he has got this new "drive " he will be even more improved going into the Olympia.Of course we expect Rhoden to be even bigger in the upper body this year so it'll be interesting.

Right, he stopped worrying about placings and just began having fun and trying to beat his old self. Its what every guy claims they do, but 99% really dont.

Well he says that but I think its the opposite. He stopped "just having fun" and is now more focused on the placings.

If this phenomenon is true then I hope Phil Heath is worried about placings and not having any fun at all.
