[Carlos_E]

King Kamali is a jack ass. A guy bumped into him during call outs and he ****ing elbows the guy. I laughed because right after the moved King from center all the way out to the end.

thanx for these pics bro, hes thick

carlos..........can you post pics of Reza Amin Torabi please?

I'm curious to know what he looks like

[spound]

Phil looked the best IMO. He was tighter in the hams and glute/ham tie-in. Also looks to have a smaller waist the darrem charles, or at least he made it look that way with his posing. Darrem Has a wider back though, but Phil's spinal erectors and back thickness are sick! His arms are huge and his legs looked a lot better from the side IMO. THey were close though

Actually I was sitting right in front of Carlos and I did see Darrem as the winner.. it is/was politics but for some reason i'm kind of digging it becuase of the fact that I believe they are trying to turn the game around from the mass monsters back to more symmetrical bodies. which opens the door for use smaller guys with better symmetry to get a chance at winning over a guy that is full of mass and no symmetry. any comments?

[MrMent1on]

Oh let mejust say, I take nothing away from Phil h eis truly great to be were he is in such a short time. the kid is a future millionaire in this sport. hopefully he doesnt get hurt.

[SVTMuscle*]

I've been over at the Dungeon talking about shows. But as I was saying over there and i've been righ 2 weeks in a row, Phil Heath is the future of the IFBB. I'm so glad he won AGAIN!

Hopefully king kamali retires and moves in with Lou Ferrigno and neither are ever heard from again

He maybe the future bodybuilding. But I agree with the announcer of the show who told him on stage jokingly "you're a rookie and need to pay your dues." He said it as a joke but I think he meant it.

But he's sponsored by Weider so of course he's going to win.

King Kamali is a dumbass, how did he turn pro. I never saw his body as anything great. I got a better body than he does all is has is more mass than I do...

Phil has 6 sponsors already. CHI-CHING.

yeah his forearms are about those of a 13 yr old boy who hasnt discovered beatin' off yet

I agree, that is a good thing. But, if that were the case David Henry should have placed higher than 4th.

[MrMent1on]

the only problem is David Henry is Short and thats his only problem. if he was 2 to 3 inches taller with that same conditioning.. hands down he would have won. they could not see him. but it is what it is.

[spound]

Were you at the show or are you judging from the pictures?

No, I was not at the show. I was just judging from the pics, why do you disagree? I woudl like to know your critiques considering you were in attendance. It looks like Dave Henry was spot on, he looks shrinkwrapped!!

[squatdaddy]

night show

[Timm1704]

kamali outright sucks. sure he has alot of hype, but only from himself. i dont believe he has any future in pro bodybuilding. darrem charles, just in my opinion, has a very unpleasing look to his physique. im not sure what it is, i just dont like the way it looks. thats the first ive seen of phil heath, lookin good. will look even better with added mass
