Arnold Classic aint all that. | Thread profile

I'm surprised that none of the vets on this board have commented on the outcome of one of the sport's biggest events yet. I think its probably due to the fact that the competition was a little sub par this year with Victor and some of the other big names out of it like Dennis Wolf, Cutler, and Ronnie to name a few. The top 3 for those who didn't know ended up: 1. Dexter Jackson 2. Phil ...

IMO, Dexter Jackson has the perfect physique. Call me old school, but I would rather see someone more conditioned than large framed, with rolling muscle. Just my preference. Dexter has been overlooked for too long as a number 1.

i thought the cpmpetition this year was awesome. the top 4 were very close and although i am a branch fan, i think the judges did a great job.

I look at Dexter and see insane conditioning and very good balance for his frame. Dexter is carrying almost the max amount of muscle he can while maintaining his good lines. He deserved the win this year. The person I would have moved up if I was a judge was Branch Warren. I think he has good balance with huge thickness and mass and his conditioning this year was worthy of 2nd IMHO.
