Shawn Rhoden - High Quality Scans!!!

[Iceman1981]

Here are some high quality scans of the newly signed Ronnie Coleman Signature Series athlete Shawn Rhoden. Shawn is the fastest rising star in bodybuilding and takes the title for "Most Improved" and is on the heels of Kai and Phil. I predict another Top 3 finish for Shawn at the 2013 Mr. Olympia contest.

If that guy from europe competing in the NY Pro can bring sickening conditioning to the O this year rhoden will be fighting tooth and nail for another 3rd place finish. I think Rhoden needs better detail in his back and even better conditioning this year, hell be a force in the 2013 season.

Wicked shape and muscle bellies. But he seems to have the same issue as victor martinez... Looks soft even though his glutes are in... Fat? Water? Genetics?

Agree Wolf has already beaten him and can do it again.

Trying to figure this out as well..could be thicker than average skin or a slight amount of water just below it?

[SPOOKHOLIDAE]

2013 Mr. O results are in...Kai Greene winner, and runner up Shawn Rhoden...i know im dreaming.

Anyone know when the final line up is introduced?? Is there a set date? Also what is the maximum number of contestants and how is that number determined or is it come one come all??

Thanks in advance fellers.

Cheers Iceman, gotta love that Rhoden style. Especially seeing as he is WORLD NUMBER 3.

I agree with Domzy that he has the Victor 'softness' about him even when in. Having said that he exudes genetic perfection a-la Vic.

[Dantop]

Great job Iceman, thank you.

[Bjumbo]

Nice pics.
Chris Acetos plan worked and Shawn clearly came in a lot fuller then at Europa supershow and Tampa, great plan which got him a 3rd place against the big boys.
But imo the drier look he had at Tampa looked a lot better.
Tampa conditioning with ~10 lbs of muscle would look splendid!

Just got to add, even though the tweaked FDB he hits fits his frame and especially waist size I think there should be rules against such tweaks unless you hit it properly at first(like Martinez often does)
Judging symmetry in that sort of twist to the pose is impossible, even though it looks great.

Who knows, hes lucky he has genetic gifts, alot of guys wouldnt even place with that condition. Take Branch for example, with his shape he HAS to be shredded.

I remember Branch saying something like, "guys say I cant get in condition because I have thick skin, thats bull****, diet harder"

Pretty much this.

No he said fighting for 3rd not 6th....you must have misread that.

[lancs_hotpot]

You can see from the bdb he has room to fill out those lower lats. Needs to get rowing like a mother****er. Is he doing the Arnold? Dex should beat him with his sick conditioning.

[mike8190]

He's got an amazing structure but needs to fill out quite a bit. No matter how good he looks he can't compete with kai and phil in muscularity. And conditioning obviously has to come up too. But looking at these pics he's got one of the better structures for sure.

Cant wait to see how cedric matches up. With those two, and huh and beyeke, there's some sick structures coming up with damn good shape, waists etc. imagine if all met their potential

True story. Hopefully he can figure it out and come into this year's O looking hard as a rock, that would be a sight to behold

Yes, lol...after Rhoden easily beat him at the O and Arnold Europe, he beat rhoden at that show because rhoden had been competing in show after show and his body was tired.

I'll leave these here, Dennis Wolf a few days before he dominated the ex world number 3.

Lol, again, after rhoden had competed in like 4 other shows. Do you ever get sick of kissing his as* and seeing him not live up?

hmm never noticed that tattoo on his wrist

[SPOOKHOLIDAE]

Oh Lord here we go again, do we have to argue about Wolf vs Rhoden again?

Yes Wolf put an end to Rhodens 2012 tear, but that comp. was also the 8th and final show for Rhoden in 2012 if i recall correctly, it may of been show #7.

Someone link that thread or post, i wrote it in detail.

[chenko]

lol at Wolf placing anywhere near 3rd at the O in the future

please remove thy germanic falace from thy mouth

[sexnews]

Just imagine Rhoden and Vic next to each other doing the fdb.......should be a thing of beauty!

don't forget kai as well.....his 2012 front DB was majestic

[sexnews]

^^So true!

[Wzn]

The roundness and all is great, but the more detailed photos I see of him, the more disapoint I get

Not looking sharp, even if hes dialed in.
Something similiar to Vic and Cutler '07.

I think MD airbrushed these pics. They always mess up their pics and photoshop them to some degree. It's stupid if you ask me.

[Iceman1981]

Also, I wish Shawn would lean back and arch his back when he is doing the back double bicep. That will bring out more thickness and show more detail.

[DanielEver]

there's only one theme that goes well with his facial expression
