justin rodriguez really needs to figure out his midsection..

doubt he will win anything or place well in a competitive show until that issue is addressed.

Rodriguez is done. He needs to retire and I say that as a fan of his. He hasn't improved the last few years - his physique has actually gotten worse.

Ya man, he’s got that Palumboism look. Legs getting small, belly to blown out, obliques hanging over his posing trunks. Time to let go…

Him and Vito both looked good! I didn't watch it but the score cards show it was really close early.

?????? What?????...

?????? What?????...

Also very confused lol

According to the scorecards, Martin won in prejudging and final.

I thought Martin would win more loosely, I have him winning the side poses and FLS, all others are pretty close. I don't like Martin crunches his abds in the FDB, there is also no separation of his arms and needs to improve his biceps.

Vito looked much better than a week ago, he has to improve the density in his back and chest.

It is a pity that this show with so many awards and a stage that respects the athletes has not had more competitors, hopefully this will change in the future.

Justin didn't look happy and left the stage quickly after the medal ceremony, the truth is that his waistline is getting bigger and bigger because his muscles seem to be receding.

Last year he was trained by Branch, and his condition was better than in this show. I don't know who is currently training him.

Left pic is yesterday, backstage at Detroit Pro. Right pic is onstage at Texas Pro (show with Branch as his coach)
I believe he's currently trained by Stefan Kienzl ("bossofoutlaw")

 

[Yousef12O2]

Both Martin and Vito still need a little bit of size and they can easily be top 6 at the O.

 

[Eguz22]

I was wrong, Martin did not compete last year.

Shelby, the picture on the right is from Texas 2021, being fourth.

This is the show he lost to Andrew in Texas 2022, with Branch being his coach

“Now that is bodybuilding.”

im sure it will do better in the coming years due to how much attention it got - even for a smaller show.

lots of higher tier bodybuilders could have easily dipped into the show and gotten an easy qualification and paycheck.

Looks like he got charged with Class 1,2,3,4 items which then would pretty much include everything from gear to recs and also over oz. of weed.

If his sentence is light or no sentence then he rolled but either way I'm not sure if prepping for a BB show makes a lot of sense until this is behind him.

Martin seems like a nice guy buy maybe not the brightest bulb. I think it was before the UK he talked openly about having $20 in his bank account. Ummmm..... you might want to swap your priorities a bit there Martin!

BIG CAVIET these days, without going political, it also HEAVILY depends on the DA, judge and ideology of the place you get "arrested" in these days. Folks walking the streets with FAR LARGER charges hanging overhead.

No idea if this is the case here.
