Interesting to have Aceto, Palumbo and the Camel Crew import athletes battling for the top spot. Bader or whoever does his coaching ( including Abdullah Alfar who seemed to be the one overseeing Vics training) might get bragging rights here.

Akim's best shape ever for sure!! He looks great!!! Hard to tell from pics but to me Maxx looked the driest and has a classic shape. Vic looks good......2007 Olympia good? Def not. but looks improved from NY Pro. Vic, Akim and Maxx clearly look top 3 imo. I like Maxx's shape. Incredible mid section and small waist for a mass monster.

In my opinion

I have to agree with Johnny as this is a likely outcome based on stage placement and Vic being in center, improved from NY Pro and having the biggest name...Akim in center and in the best shape of his life....but i feel Maxx is the best bber on that stage.

Although i'll say this....the more pics i see of Akim, the better he looks.

Akim lost a significant amount in shoulders and arms

Nah. Did you see the size of them last week on Ask Dave?

**Poker face Ace** · 07-23-2016, 05:45 PM

Last week they appeared bigger but you can see when he hits his most muscular it's apparent

It's hard to see Akim's details in photos due to his dark coloring. I'm not sure if flexes his midsection enough relaxed or posing, that's just experience. FDB is great though I'd like to see lift his hands higher and wider. He has absolutely no reason to be in any way compact in that pose.

Looking at the photos around the web Maxx was holding a lot of water on his back.

Again looking at an array of photos of Victor adds to the feeling it's his show.
