First Impression: Lots of the guys brought sick ass conditioning, but is it just me or do a lot of the top guys have some really "odd" looks to them? I am not saying oil necessarily but strange symmetry or lack there of. Not knocking anyone in particular, and maybe it has to do with it being almost 3 in the morning here and I am on not much sleep...who knows. Overall great to see a show where so many guys showed up ready to do battle. Looking forward to the outcome.

I wish he would be 5th but he will be more like 10-15

He got dwarfed very badly but some of the bigger guys. There was this black guy next to him during one of the lat spreads who looked literally TWICE as wide and thick...freaks me out how people can make even Erik look small : O

true. Erik has time to grow though. He definitely could use some thickness and width to his back and work on his chest... Nonetheless, he has gotten a lot of praise from fans and judging from his videos, he's going to appreciate that more than anything else.

First of all: GREAT lightning! I loved it!

I think its either Freeman or Harris.Jacksons density is also remarkable and those quads.....

Absolutely agree- I want to see him go very far because he definitely deserves it and is a great overall human being. Sadly, the nicest guys don't always win. For his first pro show I was very happy to see him get called out at all honestly...look at what happened to Wrath at the Ironman last year. I'm in awe of Erik's work ethic...he truely gave everything he had and I will continue to follow his progress (while being inspired!)

Palumbo and Ray said Freeman & D.James are tight in points after Pre-Judging goint into The Night Show...

**DiamondDelts** · 08-16-2008, 12:55 AM

I heard that 1st place will receive one Jay Cutler Muscle Building Stack...a 30 day trial supply of Muscletech's most anabolic supplements on the planet! Wow!

2nd place just gets Cell Tech...yes just normal cell tech not even Cell Tech HARDCORE

At least Toney and DJ are back firing on all cylinders, bro. Just for something to smile about.

agreed!

**Captain Sagara** · 08-16-2008, 02:05 AM

I hope DJ wins it although i like Freeman very much,but the transformation for the better DJ made on his physique is great...

Agreed. He someone fixed that once atrocious waist of his...I never thought I'd say this but he looks streamline now LOL

**Darren in Gym** · 08-16-2008, 03:15 AM

DJ is rocking an impressive waistline, amazing!! that he could bring it right down, but his legs have suffered, but hopefully he can work on them to bring them back a bit, while keeping his new waist. Tony looking very impressive.

Lewis looking good but could be better conditioned; Dugdale must be getting some diet advice from Dorian coz this guy is looking way better then b4. and nice to see Erik making those 2nd callouts group (looks like it) Id say he should be top 10. And JoJ is too damn thick for words and Markus is huge!! but needs to refine somethings and his conditioning is a bit off, plus he needs to get that tape worm removed from his lat lol

**Captain Sagara** · 08-16-2008, 03:36 AM

Dennis James is looking as good as he looked in 2003 when he got 4th place at the Olympia very Close to Dexter...He just needs now to refine and appear with a fuller Quad sweep,but he has 6 weeks till the olympia to fix that...

**Big Meat** · 08-16-2008, 06:21 AM

Fouad is looking sick!!!!

This guy just keeps improving...............

THat's what i'm saying.

**goddessamazon** · 08-16-2008, 08:16 AM

I am really proud of Toney. He was lacking in the numbers last year at the "O" and then the Arnold. Now he's looking absolutely awesome!

See guys! People can improve themselves so don't be so quick to write folks off in the IFBB if they fck up a comp or two.

and Dennis James?????????????? WHOO HOO!

The more I see him the more I'm lovin' him

**TripTastic** · 08-16-2008, 08:24 AM

DJ
FREEMAN
HARRIS/JOJ?
the remainder....tough to call on just this pics.

Yup! My Wolfie is going to have to share! That DJ is Mmmmm! Hmmm!

Hey! At least both of their names are DENNIS! LOL!

**ronnie0072** · 08-16-2008, 10:25 AM

2 things....

Is it me or did the lighting there suck balls?

and did mark dougdale have a right bicep injury?

**Duckenheimer** · 08-16-2008, 10:34 AM

Is it me or is Freeman's back much improved?

I agree,looks like X's show... but Big Will is not lacking either...and is dry as hell. That 1 pic it looks like his lat is messed up, but then in the rest he looks fine(angle maybe?).

House is missing a chest. JOJ had smooth legs. Thats the 4 that stand out, either because I think they look good or because something is off.
