I don't know if I'm in the right section of the forum if so just tell me.

Has anyone listened to the arnold classic yesterday?
who do you think should have won?

Phil heath and branch warren where my favorites, and I think that the only thing Phil miss is a wider bigger chest because of his big shoulder and arm his chest look small which impaire him a bit I think. Also phil's back compared to kai isn't the best but He did improved it by alot and I think that in the future he'll be able to win those show and this might not be in a while. I was really hoping Phil would win because it would have greatly help him in his career and I think that he need a win to really set himself as one of the best altough I know that he is.

Altough Kai Greene deserve this win he was like 10-15% less sharp in the finals and so I tought that he wouldn't win since it was a really close show and as the judge said in the pre-show the outcome would be a matter of 1-2 points and also it would depend on what they are looking that particular night; You have branch Warren a freak, Phil heath the aesthetic bodybuilder, dexter the classical and finally Kai greene is like and hybrid between branch and phil altough is physique is nowhere like those.

Branch warren must be disapointed but I think that this show was a great learning for him. The only thing he miss is a better more detailed back and maybe slightly bigger arms and I hope for him that he'll work on them for the Olympia.

I hope to see some great comment about the show.

Agree with everything you said. I was pulling for Phil as well being he was the best conditioned of the 4. If you like size it was Kai by a mile. If you want conditioning it was Phil. Symmetry it was Phil/Dexter/Freeman. Branch looked great from the waist down and had freaky hamstrings and calves but he was blocky. Phil also has very round and full muscles with great tie-ins everywhere, reminds me a bit of how Flex used to look back in the day.

well like flex but a better version of flex imo.

Well it depends on what your looking at, prejudging dexter won that the way he looked all grainy and hard no one had him on conditioning, now phil is my favorite bodybuilder currently and i definately wanted him to win but we have to remember that is definately the best phil we have ever seen, about 10lbs heavier, full, conditioned and his back is finally up. Its like Branch at Olympia and Jay they were both the best condition we have ever seen but not the best on stage. But Phil looked great and I wanted him to win but there is no way Kai should have won he was in better condition last year when he won than this year.
