[ESPforMe]

Alvisi looks spot on for sure. Still though, I can't go against Liberatore until I see him.


Interested to see Lockett and Nunn as well.

[dvsness]

Nunn is a beast for sure.

[gettinghuge5]

Going for Michael Liberatore - Arlington Heights, IL

[Zeneth]

Ed Nunn looks insane. Lights out:

No, these are from weigh ins.

She works for Muscular Development.

[the-craig]

Going off some of the pictures I've seen it looks like Nunns for the taking. No Brewer or Lockett pics

[MattyH7688]

Holy ****! The mofo has glute veins, thats peeled!

[AnabolicMaximus]

hotel room interview with liberatore. he looks really good. (sorry cant embed).

I doubt hes gonna get the overall - his legs dont match up with the rest of his body - especially inner thighs and hamstrings (from the side they look ok - but when he turns around you can see how his thighs are really behind in size in proportion to his upper body - esp. arms/shoulders.

glutes/hams dont look as tight as they need to be either - however, he is working with dave so they may be trying to make last minute adjustments to get him tighter, but I doubt that because I think Dave is a guy that likes to be as conditioned as possible by show time with less last minute drastic "changes" that other people implement - just watch the video with Fankhouser at nationals - he was already shredded and didnt seem like he had to do too much to step on stage the next morning.

Sorry. The pics of Nunn in purple with the red head behind him are from USA's. He is in black and looks even better in the current Nationals weigh in pics.

Yep. I can't see him NOT winning a pro card.

wow that side chest shot is killer

[j_neatherlin]

WOW

Yep. I can't see him NOT winning a pro card.

true....but he should have turned pro at the USA, as well. granted, he will almost certainly win the SHW class. he's in a different league than the rest.

[Zeneth]

Ok, Nunn looks even crisper and dryer than in the older pic I posted. His arm definition reminds me of Flex Wheeler.

[jjdrum06]

i find it interesting how bb.com has zero coverage on the freaking nationals. md has this thing covered from top to bottom...where the hell is bb.com???

[shellie5]

I want to go soooo bad! But tickets are like $125! To pricy for a grad student. Anyone have extras lol...i'm only an hour away all weekend.

BTW do you have to get tickets in advance?

[Mallorca Island]

Are they giving 2 Pro Cards?

[TheGame76]

Are they giving 2 Pro Cards?

No, one for each weight class.

[fchris]

anyone else notice the size difference in the left and right delt in the back double bi of alvisi.
