Thanks for the pics Tim. Some observations:
the top guys (Melvin, Jones, Haidar, Charles) all looked good. Melvin has that great V-taper, impressive side hams with fine conditioning, but chest could be better and don't even metion the calves. ;D
Jones's pro debut was impressive (all the hype not withstanding), and he also has a beautiful structure , but needs to bring up his lower half.
Ahmad, as usual, looked great, but still needs a little more on the arms and (especially) the forearms.
Darrem argubly had the best conditioning in this show, again the lower half could be better.
Sadly, Pavol was overlooked. I think he had one of the most complete physiques in the show and was easily good enough to make top 3. I'm sure his posing didn't help him either.
Not sure why Farrah (who is a good BB) was in the top 6 mix, but props to him for his placing I guess.
As for others, I was pretty impressed with Branch Warren, but felt sad for Nasser, who only seems to get progressively worse. His structure has totally lost its flow. Time the big man, and once a top contender, hung up his posing trunks.

Couldn`t agree more on all points Gord. Too bad Pavol can`t pose,he would do so much better.  |

WOW, he did get overlooked bigtime huh?
Those two pics are the best ones I`ve seen so far out of any that I`ve seen.
You see no detail in the pics posted on flexonline...EVER!
How Farrah placed ahead of Branch and others who were clearly better is beyond me!

I agree Tim.
I don't find the Flex pics particularly helpful in judging the competitors' conditions, though Flex deserves props for posting them so quickly.
Yes indeed, I feel Branch got somewhat overlooked. But I guess this was only his first show and hopefully he will be more fairly judged and move up in future contest, provided he shows up in great shape again.
