Silvio vs Rockel

gustavo · 01-25-2009, 02:40 PM

side by side comparison

pretty tough to call for me

**LUKEDEICHER** · 01-25-2009, 02:44 PM

From the back Silvio dominates.

I really hope though he can bring up his calves in size.

silvio=insane serratus/obliques

Loctus · 01-25-2009, 02:55 PM

I have to say that Silvio owns Rockel conditioningwise pretty much everywhere. Just look at the front latspread.

LevroneFan2002 · 01-25-2009, 02:58 PM

Rockel's back looks messy, squidgy with bad symmetry and conditioning. Silvio really wins it on conditioning, size wise etc they're similar. Rockel's ass is also flabby and one glute is much bigger than the other lol.

I remember someone saying, "How can you beat someone with nipple striations..."

I'm still laughing about that comment hahahaha "nipple striations"

One leg forward and one leg back... is your butt gonna be even like that?... -_-

SwolenONE · 01-25-2009, 03:03 PM

from the pics i gotta go with the judges on this one, silvio just has that insane conditioning which the judges are all about.

I think he looks better in the rear lat spread, but Rockel wins the bdb, so I don?t think Silvio dominates...

the-craig · 01-25-2009, 03:16 PM

Closer than I first thought but I still have Rockel winning it.

I see it as:

FDB: Silvio
FLS: Silvio
SC: Rockel
ST: Rockel
RDB:Rockel
RLS:Rockel
A+T: Silvio
MM: Rockel

BryanTheKid · 01-25-2009, 03:27 PM

Silvio is dominating Rockel on conditioning.

And to the-craig, having Rockel winning in RDB and RLS is silly... Silvio has glaringly better condition in those poses. Rockel looks like he is nowhere near contest time from the back. Look at the shoulders/arms even, not to mention the glutes/hams.

Superfly1 · 01-25-2009, 03:32 PM

to be honest it doesnt make a diff rockel never gets the place he deserves, he is always over looked but thats the way it is for some pro's

BOUNTYHUNTERMK2 · 01-25-2009, 03:39 PM

From these photos alas I give Silvio the win over Ronny, much as I like Ronny Silvio just has him beat.

exactly, reps to you sir.
I don't like Silvio's physique at all, much prefer Ronny. But its not arguable who won this show, Ronny is still 6 weeks out. It's not just about glutes and hamms, you can see it really bad in his shoulders/arms/chest too.

Also those little details Silvio has over him-for example his insane intercostals and obliques-give him that edge.

Like I said I'm a Rockel fan but can't help but give Silvio the edge in these pics-it would be foolish not to.

Big Slim DaDDy · 01-25-2009, 04:40 PM

Rockel IMO does win some poses as far as shape goes. Silvio was just way too conditioned for him. If Rockel could come at least close to Silvio's condition he might beat him.

farmerswalk · 01-25-2009, 04:58 PM

rockel has a more aesthetic physique. but silvio beats him on conditioning. after seeing those, pics, ill have to give it to silvio, even though im not a great fan of his structure.

To anyone suggesting Rockel should of won....you must be newer to the sport of bodybuilding.

Rockel should of placed 2nd....but not first. Silvio was the clear cut winner the entire show.

dutchamateur · 01-25-2009, 05:07 PM

Silvio had better conditioning but Rockel is more complete bodybuilder.

no. his hamstrings have zero thickness. rockell dominates in that department and has a MUCH wider back. silvio is just sharper.

He lacks those damn sexy striated glutes, thats why he don't win homie....

Squinky · 01-25-2009, 05:48 PM

Silvio has a nicer, blue glittery thong on, so he has an advantage.

Silvio has some of the highest lats in the IFBB right now. Wolf's lats are lower than these.

Silvio has Rockel on conditioning.

You need to look at more than just glutes and hams. His back has better detail.

TrainOfThought · 01-25-2009, 08:05 PM

After seeing the prejudging on shiit quality, I was all for Ronny. However, now seeing the pics float around, gotta give the show to Silvio for sure..

Silvios crispness, muscle bellies and conditioning just feed off of high quality photos like these, whereas Ronnys larger structure looked better on Shiitcam.

Really gotta be at the show for best judgement, but they did get first place right. Although I dont agree with the 2nd and 3rd placings.

iForce Dave · 01-25-2009, 08:45 PM

i still like Rockel more

Silvio has some parts that need to come up. Calves, Lats, Arms,
he does win the conditioning game for sure though

Wilde · 01-25-2009, 08:54 PM

Rockel has a better physique but his conditioning has seen much better days so I actually would give silvio the win, even though Rockel being much smoother has more striations in biceps i wonder why that is??
