dave palumbo play by play initial thoughts of 212 class

[VaughnTrue]

ARNOLD MENS 212 CLASS


LUCAS OSLADIL: Super ripped from the side.. striated glutes from the side. Shredded hams.. very detailed. Most impressive we’ve seen him. Thick chest……. Waist can be a little more tapered

JAMES FLEX LEWIS: Super full and ripped. Striated glutes. Crazy detailed hams. Looks huge. Arms are huge but a little suspicious looking (according to ACETO)….. Will be hard to beat

CHARLES DIXON: huge and thickly muscled. Striated gluets. Great back double. Tiny waist. Wacky ab-thigh shot. Needs more oil on him. Very dominant most muscular

HIDE YAMAGISHI: first 212 Class. Legs are ripped but flat. Great detail and incredible poser..but too flat in my opinion. Coming down to 212 might not have been the best idea. We’ll see what the judges do with him

QUINCY WINKLAAR: ROELLY’s brother. Not hard enough. And legs are undersized for this class… Needs more glute development. . ABS and pecs are striated.. he’s still a work in progress

AARON CLARK: excellent conditioning. ACETO and I think he’s too flat.. He’s got incredible detail but he came down too much and he’s just not “round” … Needs a few cheeseburger and fries

JOSE RAYMOND: great side chest. Freaky conditioned. Wacky back double. Striated glutes. Hams are a little flat. Coloring can be a little darker. Impressive look for JOSE

STAN MCQUAY: beautiful structure. Striated glutes………too many tattoos on his back. Looks like he has a small pec tear. Conditioning is good. I’ve seen him better

RICHARD TRICKY JACKSON: huge flaring quads. Striated delts and pecs. Strong side chest. He’s a little flat from behind……….we’ve seen him better. His back double is not the dominant pose we’re used to seeing.

DAVID HENRY: not the biggest guy in lineup but dangerous. Legs are detailed but smaller in size. Upper body is crazy hard. Striated pecs. Glutes are peeled. Impressive back double….. crazy hand together most muscular

MARCO RIVERA: Looks smaller than we’ve seen …….lacking density and is a little flat today. No WOW factor today.

ANGEL VARGAS: freaky….. short but packing lots of muscle. Glutes and hams are a little flat today. Good crab most muscular. Will have trouble with these other bigger guys.

Flex's arm suspicious and not David Henry's? DH's arms in his FDB are very suspect

[Unbiasedfan]

Curious to see why Aceto finds flex's arms suspicious today

[bartosh]

Aceto preps jose, has to say flex's biceps look suspicious. Aceto is just trying to make readers like his people the most. Lol

What's the link to the live stream?

MENS 212 1st CALLOUT:

FLEX LEWIS
DAVID HENRY
HIDE YAMAGISHI
AARON CLARK

***** FLEX LEWIS 1st (easily). He looks like DORIAN YATES in this lineup. HENRY 2nd (crazy detailed even though his legs are small). HIDE didn't look that great alone (he looks huge in the lineup compared to the 212 guys). He'll be 3rd.. AARON CLARK is in the 4th spot.......although JOSE RAYMOND should definitely be in this callout.

Now AARON CLARK put next to FLEX LEWIS.. head judge STEVE WEINBERGER comparing them very closely. from behind, no way CLARK beats DAVID HENRY!

2nd CALLOUT:

JOSE RAYMOND
LUCAS OSLADIL
CHARLES DIXON
TRICKY JACKSON

**** this is for 5th and 6th place..... DIXON and RAYMOND being compared in the middle. DIXON is more detailed; RAYMOND bigger... JOSE wins the side poses. I give JOSE 5th, DIXON 6th......OSLADIL 7th, TRICKY 8th

3rd CALLOUT:

STAN MCQUAY
QUINCY WINKLAAR
MARCO RIVERA
ANGEL VARGAS

4th CALLOUT:

HIDE YAMAGISHI
AARON CLARK

*** for 3rd and 4th......... I give CLARK 3rd and HIDE 4th ....

5th CALLOUT:

FLEX LEWIS
DAVID HENRY

*** FLEX easily wins this with all 1st place votes. too big, too hard, too polished and complete. HENRY will settle for 2nd

Great showing for the 212 guys, impressed with the conditioning and the physiques everyone brought today.

I think Hide could actually do pretty well in this class once he figures out how to carb up.

[bartosh]

Bet aceto is mad as f that jose didnt make top 4 after hyping him up so much

[miscing4life]

Goddamn it i'll be at work, I work from 5pm-1am. Will watch when I come back home.

[extricate]

Hide looking better than I thought he would.

[sedrik]

Yep! I think the judging so far has been pretty good, considering Aaaron is up there and Jose isn't, hopefully it carries on too the opens.

[NVious]

Also lol @ arms are suspicious @ Flex.

Let's be honest, most if not all IFBB pros are using some sort of SEO if only a water based one.

However as the old saying goes "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone"

Do Jose's arms strike you as classic bbing striated/feather/fuuuuarrrkkkiinnnn SHREDDED arms?

Lmao

[MrMetabolism]

Let's be honest, most if not all IFBB pros are using some sort of SEO if only a water based one.

Lol wat

[NVious]

Lol wat

Many different "synthols" (oils) exist.

[iForce Dave]

Lol wat

yeah im not sure what that means either.... water based?

[MrMetabolism]

Many different "synthols" (oils) exist.

Tell me about those water based oils

[endurancell]

not crazy conditioning for flex, where is all of his vascularity? there's basically none in these pics, given the shtty lighting and all

[NVious]

Tell me about those water based oils

Maybe I'm wrong, but I could've sworn that some of the newer companies were marketing these as such or having less "oil."

You're an absolute idiot.

You're an absolute idiot.

Oh cmon now, maybe I'm wrong about the water based oil, I thought I read something on that. But there's no need to throw a tantrum little guy, maybe you can enlighten me seeing as you have tons of experience abusing your body.
