TORONTO PRO Results...

[MIKE_XXL]

Well here are the results:

1. Art Artwood
2. Markus Ruhl
3. Gustavo Badell
4. Darrem Charles
5. Bob Weatherill

Bob Weatherill looked pretty good nice and tight one of the smaller athletes in the pack but looked good.

Darrem Charles excellent physique, symmetry and proportion like no other, very well conditioned, I think he should have bee third

Gustave Badell very big boy, nice wheels, tight and dry.

Markus Ruhl, huge, huge, huge he almost looked like he ate Darrem Charles before prejudging while carbing up, when they were side by side, it almost looked like Darrem Charles was a gymnast and not a bodybuilder. He was very lean dry as hell and tight all over, and I mean even his stomach, it did not protrude like a 6 month pregnant woman’s belly once, it was nicely tacked in all the time, oh yeah and BIG!!!

Art Artwood, just as big as Ruhl, but a better symmetry and shape, very good for a big guy, was in excellent shape, however I though Ruhl looked better little bit tighter at the night show, but I guess Art must have looked better at prejudging. He deserved the win.

Now down to Nimrod King (Promoter), what an idiot, the show has gotten worst and worst every year in the past 3 years, there was a total of 8 exhibitors, very poorly ran show, it was like being at a low level city championships. And to top it all off, he rapped every single person there for $95.00 a ticket ($60.00 US), it was totally not worth it, but F*** it you only live once and I will try not to cry over spilled milk. The athletes looked good, not too many really big names but the quality was definitely there.

Dont think ive ever seen Art, got any pics?
Only 8 competitors? what a joke.

[Dr. Derek]

Wow, now that is a huge win for Atwood. I think his physque is poor, sure he is huge but he has some of the stragest looking abs on the planet. Quincy Taylor should not have blown his load earlier, because in my opinion he is way better than Atwood. Where was the other new pro Jeremy Freeman... Is he planning on competing or what.

[MIKE_XXL]

Reza Amintorabi who finished 14th won the Canadian Nationals in the year 2000. This years winner (2001) was a mini tank named Nelson DeSilva. He easily won the light-heavyweight class and won a controversial overall beating a superbly conditioned and massive Tom Platz. Nelson was no slouch either and I think he could do well. Here he is:

Nelson DeSilva I heard via grape vine he was not going to complete as pro. But who knows he guest posed at TO show.

I saw him at three shows that he did, level 1, 2 and 3 and the guy is huge, very well proprtioned and well conditioned at all times, turned Pro in 14 months time...that's pretty good if you ask me about it...Wierd chesd though...XXL

[Bigkid]

Art looks pretty badass. He's got a structure similiar to Cutler. I think he'll do well.

Francisco "Paco" Bautista

[BIG R]

Dam, Paco is a big MF. I saw Charles at the SW Pro Cup. He won that show. He is so much better than years past. Ruhl is slowly casting a shadow over everyone. He was the guest poser at my show like 2 years ago. The guy is one BIG FREAK!!! JURASSIC PARK BIG!!!

[Commander_Bash]
