Who's your USA favorites?

**joshbarnett** · 06-27-2012, 05:59 PM

looks like big max charles in the SH and my boy Troy Tate in the LH looking absolutely peeled sick right now!! Jr Nat winner Anthony will be in the mix for the heavies...

**jtg987** · 06-27-2012, 06:32 PM

Aaron Clarke for the heavies, max Charles for the supers

**Timbo89** · 06-27-2012, 07:41 PM

Will be interesting to see how nick trigili (spelling?) looks. He gets quite a bit of hype from flex and musclemeds.

**ManimalPatB** · 06-27-2012, 09:11 PM

I see Anthony Pasquale in the first call out for the heavies.....Along with PJ BRAUN!!!!

I see Max Charles taking the SHW, with maybe Keith Williams doing something, idk

**MiamiMadePunk** · 06-27-2012, 09:31 PM

All I know is that Max Charles and Keith Williams are getting their pro cards.

**joshbarnett** · 06-27-2012, 10:07 PM

glenn and ciccone in the LH but wait til you see Troy Tate...i see him twice a week here at my gym and he is grainy hard and ridiculous looking!

**scimjara** · 06-27-2012, 10:13 PM

Max Charles and PJ BRAUN

**jkanevskiy** · 06-27-2012, 10:15 PM

Predictions: Max Charles (SHW)will win the overall here easily..SHW: Keith 2nd, Nick Trigili 3rd, I'm excited for the HW class (Anthony Pasquale, Cody Lewis, Brad Rowe, Rob Youells, PJ Braun, Jonathan Irizarry, and much more)...my pick for LHW winner is Darren Glenn, Pete Ciccone 2nd, idk about MW class, Welters: Victor Delcampo, LW: Chris Hunte, Bantam: idk

**jkanevskiy** · 06-27-2012, 10:24 PM

Cory Matthews is doing LHW class too, he will be up there.

**codsta86** · 06-27-2012, 10:34 PM

Heavyweight Habib Youssefi.....saw pics of him today from my friend looks crazy

I don't Think Max Charles is going to win "easily"... there are some guys out there who people aren't seeing pictures of who are big, and will have far better condition than Max.

Depending on how the HW Class is - he can be top 5. He got 5th last year but then went to North Americans (looked great there too) but was just outsized and got 3-4th call out. There might be a few better heavyweights there this year.... One in particular Joe Thomas.

**jkanevskiy** · 06-27-2012, 11:28 PM

CORY MATHEWS LHW CLASS

**The Big Sexy** · 06-27-2012, 11:32 PM

I happen to know a guy who will beat Max on shape, symmetry and condition...

Turn Max around... that's how he will get no said to him. If it was a from a front competition Dan Decker would be pro right now.

Kevin Jordan as a Super-Heavy, OMG.

If he comes in condition it almost reminds me of Juan Morel when he switched from Heavies to Supers in a year and won his pro card.

**Barrett** · 06-28-2012, 01:14 AM

Aaron Clarke isn't talked about alot, so most people are going to shit their fucking pants when they see this kid. He's my age (Only 23) and is just ridiculous looking. Probably one of the strongest amateurs on the circuit too.

Nick Trigili may not turn pro, but out of all these guys he's going to be one of the very few who actually has a bright future as a pro.

**Kaotic** · 06-28-2012, 01:20 AM

Akim Williams doing the USA's?

he's around 5'5 - 5'6

**Aaron Singerman** · 06-28-2012, 09:03 AM

I've seen recent pics of PJ, and I'm betting he'll be a SHW this time.

**_JIM_** · 06-28-2012, 09:33 AM

Its funny how so many people have Nick T placing so high. Do you all forget that he placed 6th at last years Jr Nats with a horrible case of gyno. Also, the guy that won the super heavies at last years Jr Nats , Anthony T, is also doing USA's.

**joshbarnett** · 06-28-2012, 12:16 PM

troy tate in the LH will be the hardest most conditioned guy on stage...only way i can describe his conditioning is Munzer-like...its insane!

Is anybody prepping him? I swear I saw pics of him somewhere recently. If it is the same guy then ya he is skinned!

**joshbarnett** · 06-28-2012, 12:32 PM

he has no pix out at all...my training partner, and my prep guy, Amit Sapir working with him...

**Bbpros2b** · 06-28-2012, 02:34 PM

Cody Lewis for HW, lots of improvement in upper body!ImageUploadedByTapatalk1340908434.291790.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1340908475.908358.jpg

In his defense, the guy who got 5th won this years Jr's (Dan) and the only person he lost to at Atlantics was Max Charles.

Everyone talked so much shit last year because no one knew who Max was, or how deep the SHW was that year at Jr until it was too late and everyone had already hated on him.

Go look at the pics again, he's big, conditioned, and yeah a little gyno, so what. I think other things he's done will hurt him more than some gyno, but then again who hasn't suffered youthful indiscretion.

You said it Barrett. This guy (Aaron Clarke) doesn't get as much hype as he probably should, at least compared to the over hype of others.

I like Troy... but that's a big claim to make 4 weeks out from USAs without seeing any of the other elite competition showing up... there are going to be A LOT of good guys showing up... and I've seen Pete Ciccone this year (as you have seen Troy) and I think he will also be pretty grainy... then again, there are probably going to be 25 other people in that class...

**joshbarnett** · 06-28-2012, 04:32 PM

i know how it sounds

i am trying my damndest to have him let me post a pic of his wheels lol and i agree pete is a great bodybuilder and very well could take the class for sure...
