Vic got robbed

[MrSilverback]

the main thing i notice is his color. his color and oil looked amazing at the 2007 O

[ZBlacktt]

That Back at this years Arnold is just ridiculous.

[Zeneth]

He's definitely generally bigger especially in quads and back. Wff happened to his calves though..? Really detracts from physique IMO.

[ResovoirDog]

Few things to take note.

Vics rear lat spread is ****ing jaw dropping
coleman still looked like he weighed 450lbs
Jays delts looked funky as shit
branch warren

You can tell he added much needed thickness since 07

[PaLftr]

Damn...Victor Martinez 2007 Mr. Olympia.

[MAX.MAREK]

That Back at this years Arnold is just ridiculous.

ya totally. and his legs got bigger (a better outer sweep), and he just looked fuller all together. #teamwolf

[Kenny Redd]

Vic got robbed

Damn.

[antish]

same ham glute calf story

[thebankcard]

Vic got robbed

LOOL at 1st comment

But the big change i see is his legs are bigger and his back mainly is thicker

[MyronLatsBrah]

His back is way thicker, it really shows in the rear lat spread.

Glutes look a little better in 07 imo.

Color and tan look a bit better in 07, could be the lighting though.

Ronnie is still substantially bigger than everyone lol.

Victor looks amazing. Imo, Victor has the best muscle bellies and structure of all time.

[Rsardinia]

Definitely thicker overall except that left calf looks like the inner half was shaved off completely.

[f0rcedr4ps]

Decent improvements. Not Phil Heath and Kai Greene'ish improvements though.

[Hardbody316]

Definitely thicker overall except that left calf looks like the inner half was shaved off completely.

there actually was a left calf there in 07 def noticable from the front..maybe he tored it or who the hell knows, but his back looks 100 times better now..especially the thickness in the traps all the way down the back

[germanyt]

I agree on Wolf's back and quads. Even his hammies are better.

Holy **** at Melvin's BDB.






















I'm so gonna get negged for this.


































I can see why Jay won in 07. His back shots murdered everyone. From traps to calves he is just too damn thick.

[Tomus999]

Hmmm.... He had better lines in 2007 (back was much worse tho) + better color, haircut and posing routine, Wolf in 2007 has perfect body imo^^

[FAN0FdaSport]

Victor Martinez

From THESE sets of pics I actually got Dex winning slightly over Vic...weird.

Much bigger sweep on Dennis, bigger legs/arms/back. Lost calves..

I was thinking that the more I look back. Got FDB a tie, FSL, RLS and ST going to Victor but Dexter has the rest for me. What else got me was Dennis has swapped sides he hits side chest with, not that it matters I just assumed all pros had a side for each pose for one reason or another and stuck with it.

Could be something simple like slightly better quad sep on the other side. Or rear delt looks a little better.

[Ace28]

Holy wings in the fdb.

[porrapaulao]

Nice work, but I'd prefer individual shots for comparison.

[mikieson]

Wolf is impressive. I happen to really like his build. Sure he's missing calves, but everything else is MrO quality. AND R.C should have won..just freakin HOOOOOOGE!

[PaLftr]

AND R.C should have won..just freakin HOOOOOOGE!

Crack pipe down.

[SwolenONE]

This thread reminded me how spectacular Melvin is/was.

His bdb is pretty amazing.

[featureless]

First of all excellent job on this thread Numero!

Secondly, Wolf has done a very good job of filling out his frame. Huge improvements in all the right areas (except one).

Finally, the one flaw is those calves and it is a very serious problem. He will never be good enough to be Mr Olympia with calves like that. It kills his flow. It creates the illusion of a massive building built on a weak foundation, almost like he could come crashing down in a strong breeze. Generally weak calves are not so bad on a physique such as dex, for example, but wolf is so tall, wide and massive up top that it is a very serious problem I am afraid.

Overall, Wolf deserves all the accolades he receives. He has a very classy physique for sure and he has done a stellar job of filling it out.
