My North Americans Prediction

**juiceinator3000** · 08-23-2012, 11:21 AM

After being shocked by him at the USAs, I predict he takes the class. Call me crazy, well we all know I am, but I think he will smoke trigili and get his pro card. Discuss.

I don't think he'll smoke tragilli but he'll do well.

Trigili placed ahead of him at USA. I don't think he will at NAs honestly. I don't know who else is doing the show in the supers. But I think he actually has a good chance to pull off the win.

No.

Only way Trigili looses is because of politics (if that's not why he lost USA). It's not even like Dan was 3rd but 4th so they weren't even necessarily close at USA's. I know Dav3 said this was Dan's show but he also trained Dan and should realize he is plenty conditioned, just undersized which you don't fix in less than a month while contest dieting.

but I could be more than wrong, and that's the fun of this

^bottom line which is almost unreadable. Exactly

Nick and I are apples and oranges. I am undersized a little against him. I think I have more mature muscle than he does and bring better overall muscle sepration and condtioning than he does. But with that said his overall size is tough. I'm amazed that this kid is this think at this age when I've been on the national level for 6 years. He's got a great future in the sport for sure. I think it could come down to just what the judges prefer that day but we are not worlds apart like some people think because of our placings at the USA. I was 1 point away from beating Max for 3rd and I looked a lot better at the evening show, but lets not forget there is a masters 35 class I can win at this show to get a card as well.

Thank you Dan! I respect your opinion, and it is cool to have you post on these boards!

I have to ask. Will you be doing the masters class then?

I think he pretty much clarified he was in his post.

trigili wasn't that impressive at usa imo....didn't look good...top 5 but not a winner

I think that is news and didn't want to jump to conclusions. He was very passive about it. Makes for a better North Americans if you ask me!

Much respect Dan, I'm just playing devils advocate (doesn't mean I don't recognize you have a phenomenal physique) and it is very cool of you to post on here.

I forgot about the 35+ masters, enjoy your pro card either way lol.

You're not playing devil's advocate though. If you were you might say, "You could be right Juice, but what about Nick's raw muscularity ? They both have great frames, couldn't that be something, assuming both are conditioned, Dan might have issue to overcome?" Instead, you clearly stated Dan wasn't going to win and went so far as to say the only way Nick loses is via politics

On the topic at hand, I think Decker will have a tough time beating a conditioned Trigili. However, if Trigili is off then the door is open. Subjective sport is subjective ... And btw, it is very cool of you to post here Dan... Pro card or not you're arguably one of the most successful bodybuilding figures to date and the amount of ass you have no doubt tapped must be staggering.
