Tony Searle

Steve people talk about Tony like he is the best because hes the only 22yrs old bodybuilder competing 2-3 times a year and growing. Why can't you see the two top bodybuilder in Canada are Antoine Vaillant and Tony searle. One because they are young and completing against guys 5-10yrs older. Last time I checked Zane and Alex or any of those other guys aren't in flex or MD.... Id say this is because at the end of the day these two guys are and will be better bodybuilders!

Id say Zane Watson will be 2nd-4th place at best in his class
AS for Alex Rymond If he is top 6 in his class that would be great for him!

I think and I know alot of guys will agree with me on this one Jereme bravo, Antoine Vaillant, Ron partlow and Tony Searle will be the guys to watch!

I know tony personally and he is they most humble, grateful , respectful people I have ever come across. I know for a fact he would rather spend his career as an underdog, cause that is where he does his best work...that being said...he is only going to the top...if this picture does not speak for itself ,i do not know what more i can say.......

Im good friends with tony and we train few times a week so ill say what i think. If tony does nats this year as LHW and brings shape and condition i think he can win his class theres just not that many good LHW like few years back, i dont think hes saying hes gonna win the overall hes a smart guy and realistic too. Also you dont have to be mr.canada to get your pro card they give 2 or more sometimes and if everyone else isnt in shape he could possibly beat them you never know. Its funny how 6 months ago many people were hating on him at least some support him now, hes a quiet humble guy. Personaly if i was him i would wait till im 210 with some improvments and thickness hell be tough to beat.
peace

So I do not know how he is going to beat the heavyweights for the overall, when he cannot beat them competing as a heavyweight.

That was 2011, which means nothing now. IMO he beats Vaillant regardless of weight class. IMO of course. As for the other guys mentioned ? I dunno. Partlow is a beast but he keeps getting beaten year after year. Someone always shows up.

cool if you could set up a pic with martin allard being VERY comparable to Mike J who was in the eyes of many not all that much dominant over Antoine. Ie, get MIKE J and martin allard side by side. You can see how martin allard makes tony look... Tony was not even in the same league. But Martin, mike J, renaldo gairy, and antoine were all neck and neck. Sure, we can say that was 2011, and now its 2012. But in 2011 nationals, Tony isn't in the same league as antoine. And its not like antoine isn't young either... If anything, people should start a thread about antoine lol - he is the more realistic pick for the next canadian pro.

Antoine's chest is terrible. Very thin through the rib cage. The rest of his build is pretty much flawless. Everyone has a weak point but IMO the chest , aside from Phil Heat's , cannot be a weak point if one is going to turn pro. People have been talking up Antoine for a couple of years now about him being a sure thing. I've seen it on most of the US forums too. He's had plenty of hype and he's yet to turn pro. Varking is over the the top in his praise - which is understandable because they are buddies. But he's the real deal as far as shape and genetics. Just add a few more lbs of quality muscle. Hams and arms could come up some.

lmao at Nate.. i said the exact thing to Blue the other day.....id tell my nutt huggers to stiffle it and let me take care of bizz. tony is very quiet, humble and realistic..lol
u can only bring the best package u can to the stage, u have no clue whos gunna show up on any given day

funny we talk about antoine..another pure freak... how old is he now..23? he was "CANADAs next pro" since age of 19.. .but it is yet to happen... im sure it will but he, like anyone shooting for pro card...stars have to be alligned!!

the russian alexei yukov or whatever the hell..PURE freak...but not pro
phatz 2.0

Wooof........I'm getting heart burn reading this!

Tony is getting better and I dont think people will deny that at all, but like everyone else out there he has weak body parts. Overall thickness and roundness to his muscles that will come with only time and maturity. Thicker inner thighs and not just bringing his hams up, but overall leg development and etc. The biggest thing that will and has been a problem for Tony is nailing his condition. With the exception of last year and this year at the Arnolds he looked the best he ever has. Last year at the Nationals being his best condition! So, if he can get his condition down then yes he stands a chance of winning his class. The thing is as Tony is improving, but everyone else is as well! Every year someone will crawl out of the woodwork and will turn heads. Tony needs to capitalize on his exposure and his second place win last year or someone else will take advantage of him not being in his best shape. Now is the time to secure his spot at the National stage to take it to the next level.
As far as the nuthuggers your doing your friend an injustice coming on here saying he will win this and that and the pro card is his at every show! This looks bad on Tony and people will associate your views by being Tony's own personal views. Just let the guy compete and support him and be realistic with him. If he does shitty be honest and tell him you look like a water buffalo you need to tighten up! That will help him in the long run.....if you think he spot on then he need to be 20% tighter. For Example the Arnold I felt if Tony was 5-7 pounds lighter and was full (a proper carb up) so his muscles were pushing against his skin he would have done better. Like I said to Phats he needs to suffer while dieting. When he does you will see a better package for sure. He needs to buckle down and get that face looking like a hundred year old man and suck it in!
You could look at so many guys out there that havent competed in a few years that could step on stage and clean house . SS would probably agree if Baz showed up as a pealed light heavy or heavyweight hands down no one could touch him! But unfortunately that wont happen LOL..... too bad though!
