LUCAS OSLADIL: Super ripped from the side.. striated glutes from the side. Shredded hams.. very detailed. Most impressive we’ve seen him. Thick chest……. Waist can be a little more tapered
JAMES FLEX LEWIS: Super full and ripped. Striated glutes. Crazy detailed hams. Looks huge. Arms are huge but a little suspicious looking (according to ACETO)….. Will be hard to beat
CHARLES DIXON: huge and thickly muscled. Striated gluets. Great back double. Tiny waist. Wacky ab-thigh shot. Needs more oil on him. Very dominant most muscular
HIDE YAMAGISHI: first 212 Class. Legs are ripped but flat. Great detail and incredible poser..but too flat in my opinion. Coming down to 212 might not have been the best idea. We’ll see what the judges do with him
QUINCY WINKLAAR: ROELLY’s brother. Not hard enough. And legs are undersized for this class… Needs more glute development. . ABS and pecs are striated.. he’s still a work in progress
AARON CLARK: excellent conditioning. ACETO and I think he’s too flat.. He’s got incredible detail but he came down too much and he’s just not “round” … Needs a few cheeseburger and fries
JOSE RAYMOND: great side chest. Freaky conditioned. Wacky back double. Striated glutes. Hams are a little flat. Coloring can be a little darker. Impressive look for JOSE
STAN MCQUAY: beautiful structure. Striated glutes………too many tattoos on his back. Looks like he has a small pec tear. Conditioning is good. I’ve seen him better
RICHARD TRICKY JACKSON: huge flaring quads. Striated delts and pecs. Strong side chest. He’s a little flat from behind……….we’ve seen him better. His back double is not the dominant pose we’re used to seeing.
DAVID HENRY: not the biggest guy in lineup but dangerous. Legs are detailed but smaller in size. Upper body is crazy hard. Striated pecs. Glutes are peeled. Impressive back double….. crazy hand together most muscular
MARCO RIVERA: Looks smaller than we’ve seen …….lacking density and is a little flat today. No WOW factor today.
ANGEL VARGAS: freaky….. short but packing lots of muscle. Glutes and hams are a little flat today. Good crab most muscular. Will have trouble with these other bigger guys.
FLEX LEWIS
DAVID HENRY
HIDE YAMAGISHI
AARON CLARK
***** FLEX LEWIS 1st (easily). He looks like DORIAN YATES in this lineup. HENRY 2nd (crazy detailed even though his legs are small). HIDE didn't look that great alone (he looks huge in the lineup compared to the 212 guys). He'll be 3rd.. AARON CLARK is in the 4th spot.......although JOSE RAYMOND should definitely be in this callout.
Now AARON CLARK put next to FLEX LEWIS.. head judge STEVE WEINBERGER comparing them very closely. from behind, no way CLARK beats DAVID HENRY!

JOSE RAYMOND
LUCAS OSLADIL
