Guys like most of you, I prefer Cedric to win, BUT, to be honest and not biased, he is off by today's standards.
Sure I could say "fuk no, this is not fair, this and that suck, are not as good" etc, but like we know, conditioning is very important. Ced's shape and lines are by far the best in the bb, at least imo. He is what bodybuilding/ Mr Olympia should look like. But unfortunately until he will bring Dex's condition for example, he will not win.
With that said, I think the judges will go with Dex for 1st, Toney vs Ben for the 2nd-3rd place, Ced vs JOJ for 4th-5th, and Hide 6th. In my opinion Fouad was overlooked. There is no way Fred Smalls is better than him.

That is just a CRAZY difference in the pics. Still think Ced could have come in tighter, but definitely looks better than in the MD pictures.

Problem is he's also about 2-3 weeks out, color isn't going to fix that. He just doesn't seem to get shredded and this is the same package we've seen before from him (conditioning wise). The other guys, Tony included, are in much better shape. Ced has to get his conditioning down first at this point, add a little back thickness, and he'll do some damage.Originally Posted by FAN0FdaSport

This. Must be the lighting and/or the angles. Everybody looks "soft", even if they have striated glutes. Also I barely see any quadseparation and most of the legs look much smaller than usual sizewise.Originally Posted by JanesLastResort

Imo tony should not be in the top 5. His side shots are the weakest in the whole lineup (srs), legs look atrophied and lack separation, and his conditioning is sub-par.Originally Posted by tkDd

Dex is looking insane as usual , Ced could do with a darker look on stage imo but wow what an insane structure , literally like a work of art. Hope to see ced do big things in the future

I want Dexter to win but I find it unfortunate that Ced is off.Spike92 is 15.
^ place this in your sig to remind the world that Spike92 is indeed 15 and will never be anything other than 15.
When im not hungry I eat. When Im tired I train. When I feel like giving up I push harder.

I think Ben's midsection should knock him down a few pegs, thats just my opinion though. Especially standing next to Dex and Freeman its really noticeable. Conditioning seems to trump shape very often though.Originally Posted by balls2wall

Ben looks really good. Some improvements in that back are noticeable.
A pattern in the chaos.

Has anyone actually came in "on"? Cedric looks like he's at a guest posing, looks to be some fat on his stomach as well as water
Also Dexter looks to have oiled the absolute fuk out of his biceps and his gut is sticking out pretty badly too..still the clear winner by far as well based on these pics..need to see him next to Ced though.

I think everyone apart from dex and ced look awful. Is it the lighting and angles? Or more proof bodybuilding gas gone down hill?

As I predicted, good work tkDd. Most valuable member to join us in a long time!
Dex looks so happy up there. Clear winner.
D Charles looked very good for his age.
Nunn always impressive, but never gets good placings.
Getting tired at looking at the top heavy JOJ.
Ced, maybe off tonight, but if that isn't a future Mr Olympia then I don't know! Awesome, esp. from the back!

A shame because Ced clearly has the development symmetry and shape to win this show. He's probably not as off as it seems (since I suspect that these photos really suck) considering he does have some glute separation but his color is too light and he looks like 2-3weeks out not show day dry. Hopefully this will be a lesson for him in regards to his future preps.
Ben has clearly improved his chest but I also think part of the reason he looks better is because he hit is peak perfectly. I doubt he's ever going to be able to improve his arms enough but his lats really don't have that terrible of shape and if he brought it up to match his legs I could see him being a constant top 3 threat.
I'm a fan of freeman and at his age he's really still looking great but his hams are noticeably smaller and personally I think Ced despite being off should be infront of him.
