Men's 2014 Arnold Classic Pre-Judging is over and here is how Dave Palumbo and Chris Aceto saw it from the front row!
By Chris Aceto
DENNIS WOLF ... Great stance , lot of width, crazy full pecs, side chest is outrageous. Harder at mr o. Very good package hams glutes could be harder. Don't bother me though
BRANDON CURRY. Round and big a la curry. Just hold a film of water that disrupts his package. Big most muscular
BRANCH WARREN. Obliques tad wider. Better then the mr o. Super dense side chest. Back looks tight too Goog. Naaaa great showing!
VICTOR MARTINEZ legs are down a bit upper body looks close to the Vic we know! Very good side shots. Backs almost 100 percent. Glutes tad off
SHAWN RHODEN looks very big. Front double is outrageous . Fabulous overall look
CEDRIC MCMILLAN best we have seen. Very good condition. Side chest is nuts Back shots are superior to many so far
FRED SMALLS great bodybuilder needs be 100 percent on to be a factor here. Although he looks very good he's not his best
ED NUNN in super condition in front shots. Fuller and harder then he has been. Diced from behind minus the glutes which could be harder. Best NUNN in a while if not ever.
TONEY FREEMAN x man. He looks like freeman very good everything's hard just bot crazy hard. Legs a tad tad down. Great bodybuilder
BEN PAKULSKI. Canada's best ! Wheeles!!!!!!!! Pecs are improved! ( a lot) great Nichols condition. Tan is best of the day. Wide in both front and back shots. Back double still needs density
EVAN CENTOPANI full , legs seems need more size Back is nuts ! Back double is best on stage
By Dave Palumbo
BRANCH WARREN: Fireplug of thick dense muscle. Pecs are striated and veiny. Abs are ripped. Good side leg. Striated glutes, ripped hams…. Lower back has detail but is a tad flat. Not a pretty physique but the crowd loves the freaky muscle.
VICTOR MARTINEZ: great arms. Legs look small. Pecs are ripped. Good side leg. Great side triceps. Glutes/hams are down in size and conditioning is off. Wide thick back… but can be a little dryer. This is a good VICTOR……..but not a great one.
SHAWN RHODEN: Peeled……. Great front double biceps……. Glutes are insanely conditioned…. Crazy back double. His abs are fantastic. He’ll be very hard to beat……….very hard. He’s the best I’ve seen him
CEDRIC MCMILLAN crazy side chest.. huge back double…striated glutes. CEDRIC is ON!. Waist is small…. Strong muscle shots. He’s really good!
FRED SMALLS: thick upper body…… good muscle shots. Lower body is holding a little water. As he’s posing he’s tightening up . I like the improvements he’s made however
ED NUNN: Great structure….. impressive delts and flaring front quads…… good side triceps.. good back double…. Glutes/hams can be a tad dryer. Good lower back detail. Good muscle shots.
TONEY FREEMAN: gifted structure…….. he’s holding too much of something… water? Fat? Just blurring his lines……. All the body parts are there, just not popping . Legs are still down in size a little. Excellent presentation.
BEN PAKULSKI: best legs onstage. Arms are small…… conditioning is great. Round delts………calves are insane. Back has improved in width……. Thickness is still lacking..
EVAN CENTOPANI: looks flat to me. Glutes/hams are not showing detail. Fantastic back thickness and width. Thick delts and fanastic arms. Legs are just too small……
*** This is for top 2..... RHODEN's waist is so small and he's so ripped, he looks almost bigger than the clearly more massive WOLF. WOLF is just not as polished looking as RHODEN.... I have RHODEN 1st, WOLF 2nd
