How did Evan win?

[Rocky-Balboa]

Firstly, congrates to Evan for the win, but how did he do it? I know he had good conditioning, but was that it?

Here is my opinion which i posted in another thread:


1. Dex
2. Fouad
3. Wolf
4. Evan
Evan's chest is the weakest here, and Wolf's legs don't show seperation like everyone else here.




1. Dex
2. Wolf
3. Evan
4. Fouad
Dex wins this pose easily. Wolf has great width and Evan and Fouad are very close.




1. Fouad
2. Wolf
3. Dex
4. Evan
Fouad's legs here look the best from the four and this shows has great condition from the back. His lower back and Dex's are not lacking like Wolf and Evan's.





1. Wolf
2. Evan
3. Dex
4. Fouad
Wolf looks great in this pose. Same with Evan. Both have good quads. Dex beats Fouad here in upper body. Overall looks better.




1. Dex
2. Wolf
3. Evan
4. Fouad
Dex looks sharp here. Always one of his best poses. Wold has that great 'V' shape and tight waist which evan lacks.




1. Dex
2. Evan
3. Fouad
4. Wolf
Again from the side Wolf's legs lack seperation and detail like the others. Dex's chest and quads beat Evan from the side.



So, overall:

1. Dex
2. Wolf
3. Evan
4. Fouad

Agree? Disagree? I'm interested to see how Evan beat Dexter and Wolf.

All i can think is that it was a different story onstage then what we got back here. Over on Rx there were a number of guys/girls in the audience, including Palumbo, reporting back for their Play-by-play and most of them were saying Evan was insane

I want to know this too....I have a feeling Evan had hype + better conditioning.

who knows what happened tonight, hopefully the judging is better at the Arnold

[djcuuna]

evans condition was very good

[tryin2gethuge10]

People forget pictures tell a different story then actually being there, and seeing the contest in person.

[sean061788]

i think the hype coming in to this show might have given the judges tunnel vision.

[surosh69]

Wolf should have placed high IMO... and also im abit surprised with Evan's placing

[littlearm]

The afternoon show only counts as 50% of the score. I think when the scorecards are releases we'll see that Dex was ahead in the first round and then lost it at night.

I was there in person and from my perspective Dexter looked more impressive at prejudging than he did at the finals. Evan was more consistent throughout the day.

[YAHIR-702]

because he trained with max.......


gaspari~

[SwolenONE]

despite being a huge fan of his in no way in my mind did he look better than dex, wolf, even fouad (sp?) is a close call. I am assuming this was one of those cases where in person the show looked quite a bit diff, i know even between vid and pics sometimes a physique looks completely different.

by pics alone... i dont see how he won

someone gets it .. every single person that was there was raving about evan and how much harder and better conditioned he was than Dexter. Everyone seemed to be in agreement that Dex was off even his loyal fans that ive seen on the boards. They agree he is peaking for the Arnold. Basicaly, pictures tell a different story and even his own fans said he was off. So that is how Evan won and Dex loss.

S0 all the viewers and the judges wh0 are watching the c0ntest had evan winning while the keyb0ard warri0rs have their 0wn 0pini0n 0nce again. Yah that's ab0ut right. It always happens after every c0ntest.

[flangmasterj]

He was easily the most proportioned guy up there and his conditioning was excellent.

[purdey]

this. he won because he was the most complete and brought the best package

[boyoboyo]

I think evan is similar to dorian in the way that in pictures, they dont really stand out that much, but in video's and real life, they look so much bettter, a big reason is the grainy conditioning which pictures dont do justice to.

[gabswithabs]

Branch to win Aronld!

[Darren in Gym]

more proportioned than Dexter?

[flangmasterj]

more proportioned than Dexter?

Yep. If Dexter had calves and a few more inches on that left arm then he would be the most proportioned.

[Darren in Gym]

haha fair enough. Yeah the calves (or lack of) really put a damper on Dex's rear shots especially.

[Backtothestack]

Out with the old, in with the new.

Your knowledge on any topics involving keyboards is automatically suspect.

Absolute disgrace, Evan should never have won that show let alone place 2nd in my opinion. First of all Dexter smoked him in just about every pose, and all of his front shots besides most muscular aren't appealing at all. I genuinely can't believe Evan won that show.

pipe down, you think every shows a disgrace, had dexter come in condition he would of won, plus if you hadnt noticed his left arm's fast disapearing.

had d0rian and r0nnie came 0ff every 0lympia they w0uld have l0st. That's an excuse i've heard a milli0n times had dexter came 0n he w0uld 0f w0n. Dexter was 0n and still l0st.

st0p tr0lling. Every0ne in the sh0w had evan winning.

[Penile_Dementia]

Judging from those pics I would place Evan 3rd or 4th.

But I'm extremely impressed that anyone can make some kind of thought out analysis with those particular pics. Too small and blurry for me.

[the-craig]

Right, and he was still better than Evan. I'm not the only one who agrees on this.

I'm not fluent in red sorry.

Will be intresting to see what Dex has to say about the results if he gives an interview.

Also Evans flaws will show up so much when he stands next to Heath who is nt missing a muscle anywhere.

[realistromeo]

Yep. If Dexter had calves and a few more inches on that left arm then he would be the most proportioned.

Yep in addition his upperbody is overpowering his lower body now, his quads lacked the size and cuts of evans, if this contest was judged from the waist up Dex by a mile..

Evan was the most complete/decent size/best conditioning.. /contest
