Nobody really posts updates/progress pics anymore but if they do, we might as well keep it in one place.

Beyeke posted 8 days ago. not sure if it's new or not

Can't wait to see Evan and Justin. Starting to be a big fan of these two guys.

[mackro]

Evan always looks so good counting down to shows. Hopefully he stays full.

[spamy]

With Dennis out of the way and focusing only on the Olympia, Dex will try his best to take it, especially because it's his last year.

[flangmasterj]

Should be a pretty competitive show if everyone comes in 'on' but that's probably not going to happen.

Good luck getting Cedric, Lionel, and Brandon Curry to all come in on at the same show

His last year?

[TropicalSunset]

Yeah he has had BIG time problems coming in full. On show day he seems to be flat and lack size. Amazing structure on him and no glaring weak spots...a very complete bodybuilder and with slight improvements I see him being top 6, even with the current crop of top pros. I mean top 6 at the O.

[Larfleeze]

Hopefully we get more updates leading up to the show than we did for the O.

[nonamewut]

Compton's gonna stomp everybody

[SammyJr]

hoping dexter doesn't win

[endurancell]

Compton's gonna stomp everybody

He will be the 2015 gym pic Arnold classic champ, on stage he was barely able to hold his own against Delarosa at the Europa


Also, Evan's side chest is so hnngg

he's going to need to step it up big to win. but i'm still confident in him.

his glaring issues are lack of leg sweep from the rear and his chest thickness. his fdb is much improved but that was a glaring weakness until recently as well. he loses points big time when he stands next to somebody like branch who has crazy leg sweep from the rear

[Adizzle1]

Heres Charles Dixon about 8 weeks out. Competeing in the 212lb class, he got 6th place at last years Arnold Classic, shooting for Top 3

He is a HUGE 212er

[Larfleeze]

As long as the right guys wins.

[TropicalSunset]

I hope so as well. As inspiring as it is to see an old guy doing well...time for the new breed to come in.

I think he has brought up his chest really well. I do agree with you with his legs from the back poses, but I honestly think that has something to do with how he poses as well.

[TropicalSunset]

Nice interview with Evan. So he is starting his prep being 15 pounds heavier and in the same condition. Not that he will, but if he comes in 15 pounds heavier....wow. Hope it happens for him.

[stealth_swimmer]

This. I'm also hoping Dexter will be the right guy.

Agree about Compton. Looks monstrous in non-competition photos and his potential is great, but he hardly blew away JDL when they were side-by-side. I'd like to see how he compares to some of the better and bigger pros.

[MillerTime07]

I'll finally be going this year, looking forward to seeing the finals.

[ROMMYromboid]

Should be a pretty competitive show if everyone comes in 'on' but that's probably not going to happen.

IT should be at least as high standard has last years Olympia. Shame Wo1f did n't enter for an easy win.

THIS on Evan's chest, has been a real weakness before but looks thicker than Heath's from the side in these shots.

[Berget93]

Justin looks really good, and have a lot of potential, really looking forward to Centopani/Compton comparisons.

Also, hoping for Cedric jewmacaniddle to be at his best ever an walk away to win as the best man on stage.

They are talking big making the sport grow, yet they do so little. Imo they need to pick it up big time. it´s just not good enough atm.

[Jevyzzz]

justin competition has got this in the bag

[Juggertha]

I'd love to see Cedric come in on point and take the show, but I'd put my money on evan bringing a new, big package that'll take the win.

Dex is just getting outsized now.

dex being outsized hasn't stopped him from winning shows or knocking off a few giants.

[IvanTheBigOne]

I would actually want to see Dexter taking the AC title this year. That would highly complement the eventual retirement that he has been talking about and regard him as one of the best bodybuilders to ever grace the sport.

What might actually happen is that we will have a new ACSF champion in the face of the best man on stage. I can see Compton doing massive damage and battling it out with Cedric and Dexter for the first three spots. Other competitors who might do srs damage are Evan, PakMan or Branch and as much as I like them, I don't have any high hopes for their placement. As far as the 212 division goes, I'd very much like to think that Jose Raymond will take the first ever AC 212 title.

[patbanya]

As far as the 212 division goes, I'd very much like to think that Jose Raymond will take the first ever AC 212 title.

Flex Lewis earned that distinction in 2014. This year, I think it's between Jose Raymond and Aaron Clark. May the best man win.
