Agree with Keith. Thrilled for Ronnie's win. Been knocking on the door a long time, and glad he was finally let in.
Benfatto had torn a pec, and that hurt him a bit. Also his legs need to be a little bigger and more defined to balance the upper body. Same with Vince Taylor, but I give Vince huge credit. He looked amazing and to qualify for the O at 49 is a huge accomplishment.
Lee got a gift, and as much as I like Branch he was off. Hard to hold that kind of conditioning for 3 weeks and do al the traveling besides. Tim is right; he should rest and then go for the O.

After watching Rockel take third place in last years Australian Pro show behind Priest and Cormier, I think anyone who was there could see big things were to come. Myself personally at last years show had Rockel in second behind Priest who was really on last year. This year Rockel improved and Lee's conditioning was below what was necessary.
Vince Taylor just looked amazing! I would have personally had him above Lee this year.

Thankyou very much for inviting me over! Looks like a hidden treasure this board. Havent seen too many shots from the show. I know Milos Sarcev went, so I presume he will have a ton of photos to post when he can. Anyhow check this picture of Vince Taylor, looking awesome. Great Picture. Shows his unbelievable physique, and check out those calves  |

If Milos went,he`ll have a ton of pics to post,which will be great!!
Vince is a living legend...............has got some of the best calf development around..............especially against todays crop of competitors who seem to be sorely lacking in this area.
Awesome shot!!

Awesome shot!! I suppose it doesnt help when you have competitors such as King Kamali saying he trains calves once a year. King it shows. While Ronnies calves are not great, he does train them hard and has brought them up in size, which is hard considering the monsterous size of his quads. Oh well there is hope in Flex Lewis and Jay Cutler at least  |

With Vince's conditioning, I think he deserved 2nd actually. Besides a little lagging leg mass, he was nearly perfect.
Great to see Rockel get a win. Very complete BBer!
Benefatto looked great! Only thing is the obvious right pec tear. I would have had him in Branch's spot since Branch was certainly off for this show.

I agree with all of the above.
Great to see guys like Benfatto,Taylor,and now Strydom coming back and doing so well,and not a GH gut in sight on any of them.
