Men’s ARNOLD PREJUDGING as per Dave Palumbo:
BEN WHITE: put back his lost size……… great arms…….. good side chest…….. Thick quads… super big pecs…….. glutes and hams need to be tighter……… This is a great look for BEN (aside from the glutes)……… great muscle shot!
EVAN CENTOPANI: coloring is great this year. Tons of muscle. Insane arms.. a little flat…….but he definitely made some muscle gains……more complete…. Needs to be a little fuller….
MATTHIAS BOTTHOF: German.. huge arms….. long torso…… very small legs………….. excellent back development. Pecs are striated but need more size
LIONEL BEYEKE: Just won 2012 FLEX Pro.. legs are sliced…. Good front double…….. He cut his hair……. Striated pecs… Feathered lower lats…….. glutes/hams are still weak. He’s down in weight but not much harder from FLEX.
DEXTER JACKON: Arms are looking bigger than usual……… excellent side chest…… Glutes/hams not tight enough………. This is not the DEX we saw in MIAMI…….. his waist is not as sharp either….
EDUARDO CORREA: crazy striated…..glutes/hams/lower lats…. Great muscle shots………. His conditioning is really freaky. How will the judges place him among some of the other monsters?
GUSTAVO BADELL: His conditioning is not where it needs to be….. not a great comeback for GUSTAVO…. Back is still thick and wide… Arms are still freaky. His legs are much smaller than the old Gustavo.
BRANCH WARREN: Great upper body size.. Conditioning is there……….the RIGHT LEG (which was torn) is noticeably smaller but It might not hurt him too much….. His lower back can be a little dryer…… His front and sides are great; back is not as hard….. Should be in that top 3…..
FOUAD ABIAD: Not as “popping” as FLEX…….. a little water in back poses……but conditioning is excellent….. No “wow” from front…… a little flat maybe?
BRANDON CURRY: Great front lat spread.. put on a lot of thickness…….glutes are striated (but a little small). Great arm shots……… good side triceps…. Holding a slight film of water.
BEN PAKULSKI: Better than at FLEX PRO. Crazy legs…….. best calves onstage… glutes are pealed… good back double………he could be thicker in the back. Great delts… excellent muscle shots
MICHAEL KEFALIANOS: Always shredded…… his right glute cheek is all lumped up. Good back shots…. Not structurally great but he’s done his homework.
SHAWN RHODEN: Better than he was at FLEX Pro… Side leg is impressive. Crazy muscle separation…. Just not BIG ENOUGH to match some of these other guys. He’ll be dangerous with another 8-10lbs of muscle.
DENNIS WOLF: front quads are insanely muscled and separated…… biggest structure up there…. Very complete physique…….. no glutes/hams (very shallow)…… lower back is not tight. His conditioning is not sharp. He’ll still be a contender for the title

ARNOLD PRO BIKINI INTERNATIONAL
JENNIFER ANDREWS: Great butt……. Lacks “WOW” when she comes in softer (even though the judges tell her to come in softer)
JAIME BAIRD: great stage presence…… Love the blue suit. Crowd favorite
DIANA GRAHAM: I’ve seen her tighter… Cute presentation
JESSICA JESSIE: Jessica can be a little harder in lower body. Like the blond highlights in her hair
ABIGAIL BURROWS: butt needs to be tighter. Very attractive…… Good midsection
JULIANA DANIELL: Great purple suit. Extremely attractive. Needs a little more “butt”…… Tight waist… like her
SONIA GONZALEZ: former Ms O…… Great butt. Midsection is a little thick
CANDYCE GRAHAM: Like the white sequined suit. Great athletic body…. Teeny waist.
LEXI KAUFMAN: Glutes can be tighter….. I’ve seen her conditioning beter
NATHALIA MELO: Super exotic.. great butt….. great ripped abs…. works the stage ….. Butt is fantastic but a little jiggly
NICOLE NAGRANI: Reigning MS OLYMPIA. Great butt…. Smallest waist onstage… gotta be favorite
INDIA PAULINO: Always a crowd favorite…. Works the stage…….. can be a little harder. Good overall look
JESSICA PAXSON: beautiful….. legs are a little flat and straight up and down
NATALIE PENNINGTON: great purple suit. Glutes are a little flat. Small waist.
MONIQUE RICARDO: Taller competitor.. exotic. Long torso throws off her proportion a little
TIANNA TA: Super exotic. Tiny waist……….slightly long torso…..
CHRISTINA VARGAS: excellent conditioning… Super cute. Good look for her.

NICOLE NAGRANI
NATHALIA MELO

**** SONIA is in the middle...... (not sure why)..... NOW INDIA Is in the mididle...... Will they pick INDIA??? I actually do like NICOLE NAGRANI the best in this lineup (Hate to go with the favorite but she's the best). I do have INDIA next though
5th CALLOUT:
INDIA PAULINA
SONIA GONZALEZ
NATHALIA MELO
NICOLE NAGRANI

pt of the nite
If you think you can, you can.
And if you think you can't, you're right.
The thing always happens that you really believe in;
and the belief in a thing makes it happen.
The depth of your belief
and the strength of your conviction
determines the power of your personality.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act,
but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
21 weeks and 6 days till CANADIAN Nationals
