Congratulations Lionel Beyeke, strong improvement in conditioning

[microspot]

Lionel shouldn't be let down about placing second, his conditioning is miles ahead in only 2 shows.
On the right track and the future is bright.
Congratulations for the improvement to him and DJ.

(not many frontal pics as of now to make comparison but will update as they show up)

I think he still has just a bit more to lose, but then he really needs to regain his fullness, he looks as flat as a pancake.

If he can do that, it should make for a very interesting Olympia.

[Merauder]

That's some kind of magic

[Gorky88]

repped for using pictures to prove a point. even some of the old members are lazy to to it.

He is improved but he needs to tighten another 5-10 pounds to be competitive.
-
People who think that you need to compete back in the day and had to be ripped while competing are plain stupid. They probably think that Tiger Woods or Kobe Bryant don't need a coach or their coaches should be better than them as ine the form of Jack Nicklaus and Michael jordan.
-
DJ does a good job with his clients although he wasnt like Munzer when he competed. So that logic is just bad.

I don't know what DJ did but holy god! Top 6-7 finisher at the O with this conditioning! No doubt in my mind!

[AniMaLizTik]

looks like DJ just front loaded him and didn't cut water. his previous shows, he looks just like those guys that cut water and carb load at the same time. His conditioning is about the same, he's just popping A LOT more.

While I do believe its possible, I have some doubt's in my mind.

Props to Lionel tho looks thick, solid and tight

[MrMetabolism]

he was hardly miles ahead. his best conditioning yet? sure. far from good enough.

ummm nope

i dont see much improvement at all..

maybe his color is darker/less yellowish so it looks better.. but conditioning the difference is minimal

[Ajthemeso]

he looks better, but they have a lot of work to go. good job dennis.

[RoroCwalker]

Great pictures to compare, him and DJ did a great job.

[203mh]

He's got work to do... but I see him being even more improved come Olympia time

[ArchangelEST]

Seems to me that a change in the tan coverage helps as-well. In the Tampa show he kinda looked like Lesukov in the Nordic. Too heavily bronze covered that ate up so many lines and cuts. This time he seems to have gone with a light oil only - after all he doesn't really need a tan, lol. Just some oil to help bring out the lines.

And yeah, he obviously lost a little more weight and probably did the final day prep a bit better too and the overall change is noticeable. Real nice. Still needs to come in both dryer and fuller to make any impact at the mr. O. And even then, he isn't quite there yet to be much of a threat for the top guys. He needs a year or two more to pack on some more mass and refine that physique. I can totally see him in mr. O top 6 next year and every year after that as long as he dials that conditioning in.

Well, he's better, no doubt.

But its not like he hit some peak, he still got a few more weeks imo.

[BOUNTYHUNTERMK2]

He was improved from previous showings. Striations were showing in places where previously they had not. Still work to be done but he's on the right track!

no way conditioning is about the same, see pic at bottom, conditioning is way better.

he was hardly miles ahead. his best conditioning yet? sure. far from good enough.

see bottom pics, if that is not miles ahead what is? ok maybe from lesukov to shredded lol but otherwise that is a BIG improvement.
not good enough though I agree, but on the right track.

Really? look at those two pics, if you don't see the difference I can't help you.
