2019 Arnold Results....thoughts

[Stratfordave]

With Brandon Curry winning the Arnold and Rhoden taking the Olympia… I think there is a message being sent to the pros… get leaner, in shape, less blockiness, more symmetrical, and lose the bubble gut in order to win shows. I loosely follow the shows anymore, but there is obviously a message being sent… I’ve heard from a very reliable source, with the death of Dallas McGarver the league is trying to state being a 275 bloated monster isn’t going to get you wins. Just my two cents in following BB for the past 25 years!

I’m all about bringing back the classic look. I was just checking out the highlights and it appears to me alot of competition realizes this as well. No real mass monsters stepping on stage.

 

[SpencerCortez]

If that’s the case I love it! The old school physique are still, in my mind, the best

 

[SpencerCortez]

The guys got so big it’s not functional any longer. The Greek God physique is where it’s at for.

Brandon Curry definitely deserved that win, Bonnac usually has a great physique but it seems like he’s really pushing the size game which is hurting his physique.

 

[Stratfordave]

I agree, he’s obviously built differently and has different genetic make up but his compact size sort of hurts him…Oddly thick mid session. Certainly not taking anything away from those guys… they are absolute freaks of nature and the work ethic is ridiculous.

 

[SpencerCortez]

Agreed. The work ethic to reach that stage is enormous. I think laymen believe guys pin some test and blam they are 230# of muscle. Left out is the waking up 3x a night to eat or the 4 am gym session, the planning vacations around training, finding gyms and packing food. Crazy. these men and women train like olympians

I’m all about bringing back the classic look of Arnold, Zane, Haley and the like. Their physiques were some of the best in the history of the sport. Not bashing the looks of the modern day BBs but I believe that the emphasis is too much on putting on mass rather having a clean proportional type bodystyle.

Bonac cannot put on another pound! If he is just a bit off, thats a guy that can go from 1st to 4th. Cedric too. Curry has been around awhile, congrats to him. I thought Bonac would win, but I’m glad for Curry. I thought it was going to be a better show. Kuclo looked horrible, Cedric must be going to austrailia, I hope curry goes there even drier. He could win the olympia this year. Id like to see 100% Curry, Cedric, leinawitz(sp), Bonac, Rhoden, and a smaller Ramy. I cant understand missing the mark when there’s serious money on the line. Akim williams could be up there but holds water in the strangest places.

I was there and watched the event. Curry was impressive but i think Bonac is gonna come back strong. Hes got a long career ahead of him still and i think he could really get good enough to run with the big dogs at the olympia soon.

 

[gymisfun1]

Something is just off about Bonac’s physique for me. I’m pretty sure it’s his oddly shaped midsection, very wide as well

 

[Islandswole]

I completely agree with you RN

 

[ALEXANDER_TRAPS]

Did anybody see roelly winkler and the lower ab literarily sticking out, people sayng it was a cramp, if it was a cramp he would be bent over in agony!! Ive had those before last 2 min 30 sec, straight after hard abdominal work, water, water, sodium and minerals with potassium, but on stage? For so long? No pain? Cant be!! Looks really weird

 

[Islandswole]

I actually had a horrible one after leg day a couple days ago and it was just my top left abdominal muscle that stuck out and looked similar to his but like you said, it was fucking painful as shit. I kept thinking maybe he’s loaded up on painkillers or some shit.
