New York Pro 2016

[Gorky88]

New York has one stacked lineup. This includes other categories too but since we mainly discuss mens open bodybuilding in this section, let me post the competitor list:

As far as my research goes, there will be 18 people competing







**To this list, also add Dexter Jackson, rising star Nathan De Asha and Victor Martinez.

[Gorky88]

So the top guys for this show are:

Dexter Jackson
Roelly Winklaar
Nathan De Asha
Juan Diesel Morel
Steve Kuclo
Maxx Charles

does not compute....list of names above I do not see Dexter's name on it....please advise

Dexter said is he is competing, has been posting "x weeks out of the new york pro" for his picture captions and said wait till they update the list to luimarco

side note. I was looking forward to dominic cardone's pro debut but his recent social media gives off the vibe that he's way out of shape, doing it only in memory of his mother due to some promise to her and blah blah blah. thought maybe he could crack the top 6 in his pro debut but not really anymore. expecting him coming in off

He was a guest poser at a local show 2-3 weeks ago and confirmed he is doing the NY Pro. That might not be the most up to date roster.

Dexter Jackson
Roelly Winklaar

No love for Delarosa?

[Gorky88]

No love for Delarosa?

He is an amazing bodybuilder, if someone slips he can move up but I dont think at their best he beats these guys.

[Gorky88]

These guys already announced either on social media or through other industry figures (Through MD etc.) that they will be at this show competing.

I think he can go toe to toe with Da Asha and Maxx Charles. Juan was way off in his last showing, and his precontest pics don't look great. If Delarosa comes in at 100%, he could be in the Top 4. If Kuclo came in off maybe even Top 3. All just opinions, of course.

As far as my research goes

That line really captures the IFBB's dysfunction. That you have to "research" to find out who's competing at the f***ing shows.

Isn't there any way to get these lineups locked down, say, a week out? Or a month out? It's like the competitor list changes every day.

Don't they realise that people need to book planes, taxis, hotels etc to see this show, and they're less likely to do that when the competitor list is full of "maybe he will, maybe he won't" crapshoots? They're leaving money on the table.

Oh yeah? Back in my day we didn't even know who competed, much less won, until it came out a few months later in the muscle mag. Some guys would go to the local library in the early days of the internet and try to dig it up. Or you were lucky to know a guy who knew a guy that was there or somebody wrote it on the gym chalk board. We didn't even know contests were going to happen until after they were already over.

So we have to settle for this ****? Just because it is better doesnt mean it is good.

I am going to the show on Saturday and I had to pay couple hundred dollars without truly knowing who will compete. I had to email bev francis gym etc.

When you buy certain tickets and make your travel arrangements, you want to know who will be there competing.

[DrMVanNostrand]

1. Dex
2. Roelly
3. Delarosa
4. Pierre
5. Maxx charles

So many people in this field look off particularly victor, beckham, and kuclo.

Should be interesting to see how roelly looks though.

Meanwhile, UFC fans can go online and find (basically complete) fight cards for events that are months away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_200

Yeah, sometimes stuff happens and the card changes, that's unavoidable. But I still get the impression this is way worse than it used to be. Remember the old days, when Darren would host the IFBB prediction challenge? You couldn't do that now.

They did put up a fine too where if they remove their name or something they get fined $100-200. I remember something like this. Dave P. is right when he says bodybuilders are the laziest people. The freaking flyer had Juan Morel for the longest time as the main guy and no Dexter, Roelly or Victor. There is still no Victor or Roelly I think lol. I had a bargain though now looking at this list.

Is Victor doing the show? His name wasn't on the initial list. He could be a name in the Top 3 as well.

[whiskeyjackie]

[Misctake7]

Juan won the NY Pro last year, so makes sense he would be the main picture on the flyer. But yea, they are slacking by not having the full roster posted.

[luckynumber13as]

What is everyone's opinion of Pakulski's chances?

[Gorky88]

Juan s entire family shows up and screams during judging anyway since he is a native.

People will come for Dexter and Roelly. It comes down to how unclear the entire process is when it comes to IFBB and thats what we were discussing. I wish the informtion would be out there earlier for fans.

[MillerTime07]

What is everyone's opinion of Pakulski's chances?

Not good. But I haven't seen any recent pics. His gut any better?

[ivanporkinurwif]

None

[GearHound]

is there a stream of this

[Gorky88]

is there a stream of this

Doesnt seem so.

[Gorky88]

Craig richardson got shafted hard

Mens open up now. I am sitting next to a lightheavy weight amateur guy Eric from Bev Francis. this is fun

[Gorky88]

Steve is on
Dexter looks amazing as usual
Roelly is an actual monster. Not as on as las week but holy crap

[ushi]

How did the women's physique class go?

Did Yeon Woo Jhi get top 5?

Ther was a huge line, we missed it

Nathan looked very good but wasnt in firstcallout which I dont agree with but they wanted to have Victor up there due to homecrowd. Politics still strong in this sport

[Gorky88]

I believe Dom will look good in a fee years. He needs work on upperbody. He can do it.
