not that this belong in this thread, but no way will he be taking that pro card unless he looks like a whole new person since last competition. But again, top 5 definitely possible!Originally Posted by Delt King
Tony is ready! Best I have ever seen him! Bluenose are you competing?
Tony has a lot of potential. He came in 1st middleweight at the 2010 OPA Statford Championship and 2nd middleweight at the 2010 OPA Ontario Provincial Championships. Then he made the mistake of training with personal trainer Sherrie Agius and came in 7th heavyweight at the 2011 OPA Ontario Provincial Championship under her training. This is the same show that he placed 2nd the year before in 2010. He needs to go back to what worked for him in the past and train by himself. Middleweight class will be a good class for him.
I'll actualy defend Sherrie on this one. Ther 1lb weight difference that put him HW was both their faults, both her and Tony should have had their own scale with them before hand and not relied on the official weigh-in one to realize he was 2lbs over. Tony also will be the first to tell you he didn't do as much cardio as he should have cause he was worried about losing too much mass. I think he's learned his lesson and is listening to Sherrie more closely. This woman brings her competitors to the stage in good condition I will not take that away from her. She has Jordan Janvier looking stage ready today and still has to bring him down so he's not a SHW! Tony's wheels are excellent, he just has some upper body parts to bring up, but he's just a kid in bodybuilding terms, he's got a long time to complete his package unlike the old farts like me.
yeah, but making lhw would not have really changed how well he did...Sure, instead of 7th, he might have cracked top 5, but he wasn't winning LHW....
Why did he compete though in the first place?
He definitley would have cracked top 5, prob 3rd or 4th, Jay Green had 2nd pretty wrapped up I think. Not sure why he chose to do the Onatrio's twice when he was already qualified...
the only reason (I could see) that someone would re-do provincials after coming 2nd the year before would be to come back to win it. In that case, it isn't necessarily nationals being the goal, its that they would want a victory under their belt. With that said, a week before the show, someone should have said: you aren't ready to win LHW and saved the trouble. He risked losing his qualification, which is essentially what I think should have happened according to at least the old ontario rules.
Not that he isn't a top 5 provincial caliber athlete - because he definitely is (in the right class), but rules are rules.
I'd like to know what he is weighing now. not that it matters with the new class, but I really think he is built for the old middleweight class (up to 187). In fact, when he placed 2nd in 2010, I think he should have gone light middle.
That was bad advice from his trainer to do the provincials again after 2nd place victory the year before. Yes I agree with you, he should have been in the middleweight class. He would have won that class.
Tony competed at provincials because he wanted too. It was his choice to compete not Sherries! Remember he is only 22 years old! I think most of you guys are saying he wont win the nationals. But he has sooo many more years to win this and I think we can all say the more you step on stage the
better you will do in the long run. He is still learning alot and thats why I think he did provincials! To learn!
