Hey guys,
My wife Isabel and I will be covering the play by play for bodybuilding.com this year and this will be the thread for it. The big wigs at bodybuilding.com wanted me to open this up early to get the anticipation and interest started (like there isn't enough already ) so in any case, since we've got over a week til this thing get's going, who are your picks? Any Dark Horses? Tell you what, anyone who pics the top 5 in correct order I will rep (if that sort of thing matters to you). Or if you make a crazy prediction that turns out, I'll rep you for that too. So who are your picks? Feel free to weigh in on the women's bodybuilding, Figure, and Fitness as well. Will also rep for correct pics on those as well. If you prefer a different format to follow, you can also follow updates that we will be tweeting. My handle is @biolayne and Isabel's is @aloha_izzie
So with that said, let's see the picks!?

1. Dennis Wolf - I think Wolf is going to nail it 100%, conditioned and full. Has his flaws (Calves/Lat imbalance)
2. Evan Centopani - Just don't think he will nail it just yet, I got a feeling he's slightly going to be edge out by Wolf (possibly due to chest/lats/fdb)
3. Dexter Jackson - Dex will be conditioned, not as the past but on and very full edging out Branch
4. Branch Warren - I got a feeling a very dieted down and on Branch is going to display his weakness's even more (Leg imbalance/lats/back)
5. Shawn Rhoden - My prediction is he will be very on for this how (holding him back is hernia)
6. Fouad Abiad - Fuller
7. Ben P - The same
8. Lionel Beyeke - Slightly worse than Flex show (since he won and has his O qualification i think he will be too relaxed like jobs half done)

If I was you I would make my picks now and maybe another set of picks later if you change your mind, cause I am pretty sure you made the thread then asked for OUR picks. Would not be fun if everyone just sat out until right before the AC to do theirs like you, infact your thread would be dead by then.
Have some balls Mr Norton, live on the wild side and tell us your speculation and gut feeling not the classic 4 favourites we all expect.
So what say thee? Shall you live in glory and be known as the IFBB section wizard or shall thee be named the troll of our Kingdom?

1) Evan: huge calves, shoulders, sick biceps
2) Wolf: brought in that condition, especially his back and shoulder development
3) Branch: without problems -> mass on those legs, freaky arms. But a less better developed chest imo.
4) Beyeke: no words.
5) Dexter: still a good bodybuilder but not a top 3. Overall he has less more mass, but a great defitation.
