Antoine Vaillant @ 11.5 weeks out from the 2013 NY Pro!

lol @ the use 1 pic to prove point guys
maybe i should post a pic where branch's forearms look big, doesnt actually make it happen.

this guy will look like an amature next to the current line-up. The only thing thats with him are his delts

you're forgetting his height... he won't look small by any means...

[endurancell]

not small by any means, he has monstrous legs and delts that overpower everything else. just needs a lot more lats and biceps/triceps. his bi's have a terrible shape. but he's looking fantastic 11.5 weeks out

wow he looks small,

i dont see the where the hype is coming from, he needs to fill up his frame alot more to come close to competing vs todays pros.

Who is saying he is ready to compete with the top pros? Most people are hoping he places relatively well at a medium tier show like the NY Pro. That's not really crazy expectations. He has said he's got a lot to add and will take his time doing it. I expect him to do this show then take a long offseason to continue to add.

Bis terrible shape? How so? They are very long and full...if there are anything bad about his arms it would be his triceps

maybe you need refreshing as to who came in 2nd at the arnold. your post sums up ben P and antione doesnt have a gut and ben p has probably the worst set of biceps on a pro going

I think his bis have great shape. He's brought his arms up pretty well actually.

[blindsideflank]

can someone post his most recent pics of a side triceps and a side shot that shows his hams?

he isnt perfectly balanced and can use some size in certain areas but he has every body part and i wouldnt expect his back to be world class for a few more years. i dont forsee any flaws as of right now (muscle shapes/insertions/ body parts that wont grow) and i believe it will all balance out in a few years and he will be unreal

[DomzyCuttin]

You're right about conditioning....and I think Antoine has made that point as well. At the Canadians I might have had him in 2nd behind Ron Partlow...

I think it could have gone either way. Ron Partlow was more shredded but his natural shape is bad. I think they should have just given to Ron, poor guys had like 10 1-3 place finishes at the nationals... **** how does he keep going on!?!

[SirShredz]

One of the best physiques I've ever seen he will definitely place top 3.
