Very sad news. Joseph Conte from Ontario passed away in a hunting accident this past Monday. Garry Bartlett just posted the news on facebook.
This was Joseph's first Nationals. He was 13th in the Light-Heavyweight Division.
RIP

Ryan probably was the best from the back - top to bottom. If anything, a very very close 2nd. From the front it was a different story. Something about the shape I think just made him not stand out quite as much. Top 4-5 in that class were really good. Seems as though nationals is turning into the HW / SHW showdown. Yes there are still some great LHW and lower, but I think the caliber in the lower weight classes has been diminishing slowly over the years. What I mean, is in the past, the classes were a little deeper, where it wasn't just the top 2-3 guys who were phenomenal...You had guys outside top 5 who would place top 3 in todays shows. Part of it is those same guys are now heavyweights!
I have to agree with you on that! HW and SHW are pretty stacked right now. When Larry V. Competes the light heavy weights will be his in my opinion he simply is flawless.
Ryan in the SHW looked great! Put some really good size without sacrificing his condition. He was also a very good heavy weight.
On a side note if Sammy Zebib drops down into the light heavies like in hi 2004 condition it could again be very very competitive.

The guys are looking solid!! Great pictures in this thread!! Unbelievable conditioning on most those guys!! You've got the best of the best in Canada on that stage!! It could be any one of those top guys to walk away with that title if they bring their best! It will be interesting to see who shows up next year! Congratulations to everyone who competed at nationals!! It takes a lot of work, dedication and commitment to get that far!
The girls looked amazing, and as always, it's an honour for me to step on stage with them!
I know most of you on this forum are guys but, I noticed that there weren't a lot of pictures of the female side of the sport. So here is a link if any of you are interested, as well as the few girls frequenting here, looking to see some pictures.

Im sure that in the superheavyweights ud find that in each pose another guy stood out. Mike Johnson in fact in those trunks does not look nearly as good as at night because he has the most shredded glutes at nationals and those trunks hid them. Jerome bravo stands out the most when relazed but needs to work on getting the muscles to show more in each pose. Antoine justs needs to come in harder and hell win overall.
As far as the contest goes. the heavy weight and over classes do seem the most competitive but in my oppinion its only cuss all the top light heavies are now pro. Robert Belisle, Pat Bernard, Martin allard to name a few who are recently pro. As far as Larry Vinnete being the top light heavy I think u gotta ask urself how I will look with 15 lbs more muscle then my last nationals where I placed 3rd behind robert Belisle and Pat Bernard. I was 181 at my last nationals and I am quite confident I can give any lightheavy a run for their money now that I have added a substantial amount of muscle since 2009.
