    Congrats to him! I am a long time fan of his physique and his character. Any O contender who makes the time for his family like designing and building his kids a treehouse is cool in my book! I know dads with twice the free time on their hands who don’t do things like that!

    Agreed. McMillan is deserving & smart to go to Hungary for this competition. He will be a threat in the lineup at the O next year, & has a full year to get where he needs to be. 2020 is going to be a banner year for bodybuilding!

    Cool

    Dave questioned why more top guys didn't show up to this Hungarian show, but it's not necessarily their call. The supplement companies that sponsor them foot the bill & didn't want to shell out the money. At least, that's my guess.

    The top five all looked good. It appears Lukas Osladil is the new Branch Warren, short, squat, bad structure, freaky everywhere. Lukas adds insane glutes w/ a life of their own. Lukas took the Arnold Classic Brazil in 2017; his highest placing at the O is 8th (this year). McMillan wasn't 100% but had the best look, & he poses well. The fourth & fifth placers, Olejniczak & Muzi, were both competitive & I'd like to see more of them.

    I have said it for years. If CEDRIC comes dialed in, he can WIN some big shows. Definitely a game changer in the pro ranks.

    I’ve said the same! Sadly though the times he has stood on the O stage he hasn’t been razor sharp. Very good, and no doubt a serious contender, but not totally dialed in. I’ll go so far as to say he’d be unbeatable if he came in razor sharp.

    Cedric should take a page from The Blade, & show up in top shape.

    How much or many drugs does someone need to be shredded? I mean is it possible to achieve the look desired yet maintain the mass or fullness and not jeopardize your health? I thought I saw that somewhere as an obstacle Cedric wrestles with. He’s not willing to participate in the chemical warfare necessary to take his contest win count to the next level.

    If that’s the case, I’m not knocking him at all.

    If that’s the case that he’s not running the whole pharmacy, I just became a bigger fan.

    That said, I personally know MANY lifetime natural elite bodybuilders both male and female who come into their pro shows freaky peeled. Granted, they’re not carrying Cedric’s oodles of muscle and I’m sure the chemicals he does take to put on that mass probably cause water retention and therefore make it that much harder to dial in the look.

    I’m not saying he doesn’t look amazing even when he’s a little off. It does baffle me that he and seemingly every other Mr. O contender has a hard time when it comes to consistently dialing it in on show day. Then they go out and eat a 5 guys burger and look perfect. If that’s the case then spend your offseason immediately after the show to figure out what works, time your damn burger for the stage and look like a real O contender we can all admire.

    No one places high in the O w/out assistance. W/ 4 kids & a wife, I will never believe that Cedric takes big chances, though.
