"Troy Alves: Okay, we all know I feel about Troy and the IM so there is no need to expound on that , However he will have to bring it. due to the fact that everyone will be improved by next weekend. I actually see him coming in drier with an even more pronounced glute and hamstring tie-in. But I see him no higher than fifth with the results of this past weekend.
Melvin Anthony: The man was full with some of the best shape on the scene. Unfortunately, he was not bone dry and was plagued by his old nemesis, the glutes and hams. Everthing is there, he just needs to be dry.
Art Atwood: Big freak nasty. He has had a while off. To date this has been his longest offseason, so he should have made some noticable improvements to his entire physique. I really hope he has brought his waist line down some with a little bit deeper conditioining. I will place him 12th
Gustavo Badell: The wunderkind of Milos Sarcev has been steamrolling over a lot of top pros. As evidenced last weekend he can carry a large amount of mass with a outstanding amount of conditioning. I expect not too much of achange in his physique, just in his conditioning. Will he improve or fall off. In reality though, I see him in second
Darrem Charles: The funkmaster supreme. He is one of the best posers in the sport today and is always a crowd pleaser. That being said, he physique has to be equally outstanding. I think that his legs are too shallow to deal deal with this lineup. His conditioning will be on point, Just a mass issue. I see him in 9th.
Chris Cormier: Has to be in TOP shape. No holding water, no missing oil or whatever. He has to be as perfect as possible for him to bring this home to the mantel. If not, Gus will amke him pay. However, he has an oustanding structure that when on exudes power and grace all in one. Back thickness will be a plus though. I have him in 1st
Mark Dugdale: His name has been on many peoples mouths since last Saturday. And for good reason, had a rare blend of asthetics, mass and conditioning. Downfall, a little too small for this level. I say another year in the pro ranks will do him some good. I exepct him to land around 6th or 7th.
Anthony Freeman: I really like his physique, but a lack of overall thickness is his only downfall. His strengths are his taper and lines and has to play to those strengths with his posing. I have him in 10th
Dexter Jackson: The Blade has been focused since the Olympia. I know for a fact he will come in with all guns blazing. However if he did not improve his side chest or side tricep, Gus will have him. Every other pose he is comparable in. 3rd is where he will land
King Kamali: He made plenty of improvements in the mass and conditioning department. I can see where he holding back form the arnold. Most notable improves were his arms and lower body. He keep the size and conditioning while stay full. I say he will land in fifth
Victor Martinez: The GNC winner is out of the frying pan and into the fire. He will now see what it's all about here. He has to come in nasty shredded and bone dry. If he brings what he had at the SOS, then he won't finish in the top5. I have him 4th
Lee Priest: Has to be hard from the rear. Has everything in abundance and the arms continue to amaze but when turns to the rear, he loses it. Maybe he is peaking for this show. I can see him pushing Dugdale out of 6th into 7th
Frank Roberson: He displyed a great structure with close to zero conditioning. I liked him better at the GNC. But two weeks is a lot of time to turn things around. Johnny Jackson anyone. 13th is where he will land
Idrise Ward El: Displayed a very nice shape. But has tears that could limit him onstage. Has to have improved Conditioning also. 11th
Well, there you have it. Good luck next weekend"
