Arnold Suprises ?

[Chris250]

Where you suprised at all with the mens finals. I thought Branch was going to get first (no suprise there) but I was suprised that
Ben Puliski was in 4th before Dexter Jackson. Also, suprised how soft some of the lower places guys looked (example Badell, and Ben White )

I think they rewarded Ben for his improvements and great conditioning. Although he has a poor back double bicep pose from the waist up, I thought his most muscular and front lat spread and side chest were among the best in the show. I was dissapoined that Evan was flat and Dexter was way off his best form Before the show I thought it would be between the two of them for first. Another dissapointment was Brandon Curry if he could bring his legs up and regain his conditioning of the last olympia he could be a real threat.
I also thought Fouad and Ed got overlooked. My hats off to Branch I did not think he would of recovered so fast from that injury he deserved to win.

It seemed to me that a lot of them came in too soft, Dexter's conditioning seems to be off badly. I was really expecting him to be a threat, but he wasn't near his best. None of them had that real grainy, hard look to them like you'd expect to see

Agree !!! Dexter in his December form would blew away the comp...:sport:

I don't know what it is with him, you used to be able to count on him to bring his best and now it's like he just doesn't have it. e fell off fast, not sure if this is what we've gotta get used to with him or if he's just not getting his head in the right spot

I think he wasnt full enough for this show.. being flat makes you look softer and smaller. Nothing pushes out, and that seems to be a problem with him at times. He is always lean enough, you could see straitions in his glutes, and his hams. but just not enough gycogen in them to make it push out toward the skin...Just my opinion...:bber:

I'm ok with the results. I thought Branch had it, but could have seen Wolf take it, due to Branch's back. His lat spread just wasn't happening for him.
