I think Henry should have won this show based on the pics. His back was better, bigger chest, and better detail from front and back. Priest was bigger and thicker in some shots, but I think Henry should have taken it.  Typical. Alves got a gift. I wish Dugdale would bring his arms up just a tiny big....because he's what I want to look like in the mirror one day (or Mo if I can't get to Dugdale's level!). But that's just nitpicking. The man is aesthetic, proportioned, and well conditioned. Can't beat that with a stick! #arockon6ha# |

Agree with a lot of your comments Youngblood! I'm a Lee Priest big fan, but on this one i think he should have been 2nd... but by what i've seen on other boards... we seem to be the only one to think so  Anyway, it's sometimes hard to judge with only photos! But overall... i think the judging was pretty good, dont you? |

But overall... i think the judging was pretty good, dont you? I'd say the judging was fair, from the few photos I've seen. I already mentioned the gifts Alves and Priest recieved, so I won't go farther on that (those) points. Yes, it's hard to judge from photos, as I know the one contest I attended was a night and day difference between the photos I saw later. But it's all that some of us have to go on, and in regards to this contest- a friend of mine was there and agreed 100% that Henry should have won. The people on other boards are blind IMO!!! They probably think the same about us, but whatever. To each their own, which is why Tim isn't Mr. Olypmpia!!!!! |

Lee did look great though. What happened to Derik Farnsworth?

From what I saw, looks like Dugdale got screwed. He should not have been worse than 3rd. Priest and Henry had different strengths and weaknesses and it was very close. I probably would have gone with Henry 1st also.
I like Troy, but he got a gift. Bui should also have placed higher. But that's judging.
Priest will have to be even tighter to beat the tough competition coming up at the Arnold (like Dexter, Branch and Gustavo).

OK,I saw the pics and although I am a big Lee Priest fan.......he got lucky in this one although looked great.
Dave Henry was spot on and IMO,continues to get screwed.
DEFINATELY should have won.
Also,Dugdale should have been placed over Kris Dim .........Dim just doesn`t look right to me.

I'm glad this show panned out the way it did. Its nice to see a show in which the shorter guys did very well. I too thought Dugdale should have been 3rd

Great posts. David Henry was UNBELIEVABLE! Seriously, how can someone make that much progress from the O to the IM? UNREAL! I love Henry. I love Priest too, but his back just isn't in the same league as DH. As far as Dugdale, he's my favorite bodybuilder and he made MAJOR MAJOR improvements in his lat width from teh front and he looks like he got a brand new clavicle! And Alves, you really think he got a gift? I thought he looked great from teh front. His shape is just AMAZING! He is blurred from the back, but when he has been tighter in the back he loses his fullness in the front, plus he has like NO WAIST! Great athletes! It got me so excited about the ASC!
