Troy Hotel Room Shots (please use bathroom before viewing)

Arguably one of IFBB's best shape bodybuilder. With corre-like condition (well almost). No way does he stand a chance next to kai victor (the freaks) and the mass monsters. That said, in this show with this lineup I had him winning. At no point during pre judge or pose down did I have him second.

crazy stance taken at 8 am on Saturday

Great side shots and show stopping back dbl

Looks amazing and really an ideal physique.. I really couldn't decide between Ben or Troy in prejudging.. it was more of their opinion on size vs shape.

you forgot condition

well, that too.. but ben was pretty hard. Troy had him slightly in conditioning IMO, but not so overwhelming. He was "hard enough".

Now put those same judges they had at Jr Nationals and troy would be the winner

Ben put on so much size since his last show he has a real freaky and thick physique...but troy just looked unreal...I had Troy winning as well and Ben in second

**lilarnold** · 07-18-2010, 02:44 PM

absolutely rediculous. he should have gotten first. the 2 of them were even imo with troy edging him out by a point with superior conditioning.....not far superior but superior nonetheless

**Mr.Bones** · 07-18-2010, 03:10 PM

I hope Troy is proud of that condition, it looks amazing.

**BBD** · 07-18-2010, 03:14 PM

Troy looked phenominal...I guess the decision between Ben an Troy goes back to the fact that bb'ing is a judgemental sport. I feel it couldv gone either way...personally I feel like with a decision so close it should go to the guy whos paid years of dues meaning Troy but thats bodybuiling! Troy is an incredibly down to earth, very very cool guy and hopefully he can edge it out in CT next weekend.

I had troy winning. Amazing how this man continues to progress at his age. It's actually very inspiring.

**destro** · 07-18-2010, 03:17 PM

From all the pics I have seen it looks like it shouldve been troys show.

**Barrett** · 07-18-2010, 03:19 PM

Although I was impressed with Ben and his added size and good condition, he was kind of ashy and could have sacrificed a little fullness. Maybe 5 percent.

I thought Troy had it. He looks just plain nasty in side shots was the best conditioned guy in the whole show, and that symmetry is crazy crazy crazy!

I agree with all of those comments. Troy's conditioning was nasty. I had Troy first with a very good Ben White in second.

Chris,
Props to you and Troy for such an incredible conditioning!!!
I personally had Troy winning the Tampa Pro show!

Chris Aceto has a record of being pretty bias towards his clients (Eduardo, Tarek, Troy, and former client Jay) and this opinion is based on your emotional attachment with your athlete. But with that said, Troy did look good, the best he has ever looked and so did Ben White. and it could have gone either way with no complain. But i wouldnt make a thread stating how Troy got the raw deal and a slap on the face because there was no clear winner. Its a bit of a disrespectul gesture to Ben White who is part of the rx family
