Athletes' updates;

Baito Abbaspour 1 week out of Dallas. After a very long travel time from Rio De Janeiro back to Iran via *****. Baito is now back in training and dieting mode. Our main focus from now until next Saturday is getting rid of excess water from long flights and bringing him down to under 212lbs. It's not an easy task knowing that Baito has to again make a super long flight from Iran to Dallas. He is doing everything he has to do and I'm sure that Baito will be more than fine come showtime. - DJ



and

Fouad Abiad 1 week out and I say he will be ready to bring it to Dallas. Probably one of the hardest working guys in bodybuilding Fouad is ready to bring it and is looking forward to being back on stage. I'm very happy with where Fouad is at this point and I'm sure the final week will do exactly what it suppose to, so look for an very dangerous Fouad who will be a fighting warrior on that stage. - DJ




Can't seem to find any competitors list.

Fouad looks great from the back

but he needs to work on his posing for the side chest and most muscular

i hate that Jay Cutler style most muscular pose, it just doesnt look good

[ucsumma]

Got my tickets yesterday - can't freaking wait!

[Larfleeze]

I'd like to be the first to congratulate Mr. Kuclo on his win.

His SC needs better shoulder positioning and in his MM, he needs to bring his arms closer.

Got my tickets yesterday - can't freaking wait!

If you can, please take pictures or videos!

I'd like to be the first to congratulate Mr. Kuclo on his win.

Considering there's no point for Kuclo to do it anymore, I'm surprised that Beyeke isn't doing it (or at least doesn't seem like he's going to do), probably to spend time with his family in France, but it would have been a good opportunity.

I think Derik Farnsworth is doing the 212. I've always known Derik for his insane squatting and being one of the best deep tissue guys out there, but I didn't know the old man still had it! I couldn't find a roster but I'm guessing from the IFBB schedule and the days on his updates it has to be the Dallas 212. Not looking too shabby for a 44 year old!

From Chris Aceto's Instagram 7 weeks out - "Now that's a side triceps!" - Reminds me of a mini Jason Huh


6 weeks out

Yeah he needs to take advantage of his roundness and hit a hands clasped or hip variation.

2011 Flex Pro was still his best showing IMO and this is a great most muscular version for his physique

[MrMetabolism]

Glad to see fouad back in the mix, looks peeled

I remember seeing him on The Fit Show with Garret Downing. Strong legs.

I live in Dallas now so I think I will attend this year.

I'd like to be the first to congratulate Mr. Kuclo on his win.

And i would like to be the 2nd, to congratulate him on his 2nd straight flatastic win in a row.

[porrapaulao]

Why would Baito go to Iran to spend one week after AC Brazil, instead of going directly to Dallas? I dont get it

[MillerTime07]

I wouldn't be surprised if it had to do with a government regulation or obligation.

Baito Abbaspour 1 week out of his 212 debut. Look for Baito coming to Dallas to make some serious noise. - DJ

[rebelprettyboy]

I'll be there!

[mike8190]

212 prize money is pretty weak lol. Same as figure and only 1k more than bikini and physique.

[Peetmod]

Whatabout the competitor's list? Anyone has already seen it?

Thanks for posting!

Any time!

Should be an interesting show - no immediate standouts, but you'd expect Branch, JOJ, and Fouad to be in the hunt. I don't want to make ANY predictions because this could be prime for a dark horse to standout.

Good god.

[Big Slim DaDDy]

Looks like the 212 winner.

[RoroCwalker]

[TropicalSunset]

Actually excited to see this. I hope Baito does well. He will really add some substance to the 212s. Will be interesting to see Flex compared to him.

[BartPimpson]

So...they have Baito listed in the open there.

[PaLftr]

Curious to see Branch. His back has been looking terrible lately.

[NVious]

"People used to say Branch's back was bad and we've really brought it up"





Just like all the "improvements" Johnny has made over the years





lol...gotta love the complete BS bodybuilding is as far as selling "improvements/progression" within bbers...

[Exane]

^JoJ had such a sick physique, crazy how long ago that was with nothing but regression for the most part.
