2024 Pittsburgh PRO Guest Posing - "Nick Walker" "Derek Lunsford" "Samson" - Iain Valliere +AJ +more

[@jmorale7798]

Ian definitely holding back on criticism

[@vacuumcleaner11]

We need the old Iain from Bro Chat who never held back.

[@anthonybenincasa]

There’s some guys that are more sensitive than you’d think, not an excuse but it’s probably in the back of his mind

[@ahmedazzi4168]

Because nick is his friend and he looked bad tbh for 1 week out no sweep on the legs bloated gut chest looks improved

[@stunna2305]

Absolutely, frustrating to listen.

[@bhkj3134]

Because he didn’t completely shit on people doesn’t mean he’s holding back lmao

[@tonygoshive785]

I don’t get how hunter is not receiving more credit for the size he is being. He is bigger than Derek and more defined in some front and side shots. In fact I think he was one the biggest in this line up

[@geozeo710]

AJ and Iain. Great job.

[@jeremycook9852]

The reaction everyone has is congratulations Nick on the birth of your upcoming child!

[@aansul888]

nick has disappointed.

[@m1ar1vin]

I don't think so. Nick looked really good. He conditioning and size will come in in this last few days and he will control his waist perfectly in NY which he didn't need to in this guest posing. Not to take away from Fitzwater who looks incredible

[@FoshowFishing]

Having Iain on this made it so much better

[@powermonger1]

Except when he said Martin never won a pro show.Detroit don't count?

[@Bubs58]

Definitely great having some conversation about it rather than just one person reporting

[@jimlahey9796]

AJ shouldn’t be on this KZbin at all.

[@yo1yo2yo3yo6]

​@@jimlahey9796 I'd say iain the flop shouldn't be involved in any YT at all. He's a wasteman

[@tracybrovan3997]

Nicks waist got wider

[@johnbless1423]

In his poses I feel like it’s smaller, but when relaxed/in transition I feel like it’s bigger than before. I think he’s going to drop back a few places at the O this year.

[@yourpropertyplug]

Gut walker, not a fan tbh

[@titoslounge1946]

Damn man. I’m a huge Nick Walker fan but i’m not optimistic. I feel like his quads are either beginning to atrophy, or they’re hit their genetic limit. I genuinely feel they were better a couple years ago. They matched up really well with his upper body in 2021, and now that’s not the case.

[@Nagy.Patrik]

His quads got bigger, but also his obliques which makes the illusion worse.

[@jamesrobinette5909]

True and I think he's upper body just got so much f****** bigger

[@titoslounge1946]

@@koaboyy His quad size was an issue before his hamstring injury, doofus. I’ve been watching him since his professional debut in 2020. His quads haven’t really improved in years. They honestly looked their best at the 2021 AC. But please keep lecturing with low level speculation.

[@soroushnek]

you wanna be nice to Nick, i understand that but his mid is HORRIBLE !! sorry

[@jakobkutela1615]

[@seanpocock7195]

Ian & Aj .. please keep doing videos . Perfect duo

[@ajsworldofbodybuilding7076]

Thanks for watching

[@goldnarms435]

Damn Ian's hair looks good.

[@spicyterp]

Nicks midsection does look a bit larger

[@Jimminityjabooboo]

Nick’s mid section is a problem between poses and in front relaxed. His front double bicep is affected slightly by his waist, but overall Nick has this uncanny ability to push out all the air and pull his waist in tight, hiding it. Nick needs to keep his gut in check there are a few moments you can see the beginning of palumboism

[@lizbethrodriguezXO]

Ian and AJ killed it on the commentary!

[@ajsworldofbodybuilding7076]

Thank you

[@jackr5944]

Love that this is becoming a thing! Good stuff fellas

[@johnbless1423]

Hunter stated on the Cutler cast that he wears it because when people post about it, it’s a clear indication that it was guest posing and not a comp. He also stated that he got the idea from Roelly.

[@Jesse-df9fz]

Honestly who gaf that yes wearing a hat lmao people are laying into him over a hat 😂

[@henrycastellon4397]

Andrew Jacked looked great. Stands out on that stage a lot.

[@Jesse-df9fz]

He looked enormous

[@danielgould2938]

AJ is totally right about Martin, He's awesome. I do think Nick's belly is out of control. Andrew was the man

[@Jesse-df9fz]

Martin's v taper and x frame are amazing in my opinion, very impressive flow to his physique he's going to be the real deal with a little more size top callout for sure

[@alpine1609]

Nick is getting worse not better, he's put yo much size on his upper body, his legs are just awful, he's looking way out of proportion

[@nialbarnsley4108]

IS IT JUST ME !!!!!!!! or does the complete lineup look TINY compared to SAMSON &ANDREW begs the question how can the MR O be small. From an audience perspective LOOK at it, YOU dont even look at anyone else other than those x 2

[@GabrielWitmer]

Andrew told me at Pitt that he has no plans for a show rn, none whatsoever, HOWEVER he said he is going to qualify

[@Tero92]

Martin for the NY title, even tho theyre probably gpnna give it to Nick Martin has my favorite physigue right now, him and brandao.Nick is only good for the side shots. Those legs are too small for the huuge upperbody, also because the sweep shape is bad and the legs are so short already it really throws off the physigue. He wont be mr olympia, and i think winning arnolds are even going to v be challengin as long as somebody else from the top olympia guys are there too.

[@ABatEdits]

love seeing Iain in those reviews as he is always super accurate and fair with his criticism. 👍🏻

[@chzpuffs1835]

Nick's midsection could be a problem but I think it's more likely what Iain said. Don't know what Nick does 1 week out with his diet, but in some of the transitions his midsection was doing some funky stuff that mine seems to do when I'm all bloated and can't seem to let the farts out. I don't think it's perma-blown out. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he came in way tighter at the NYP.

[@Which_Way]

Derek’s lat injections are on point

[@isaacayala4642]

Nick has the biggest belly in the every stage, but it looks like it always has. No different. Walker syndrome, good bye Palumboism.

[@davidbrandon7950]

Iain is OG - great to see him helm this. Also, still loving the instinctual hand clap to start proceedings 😅

[@spicyterp]

Good to hear from Iain and AJ, nice duo

[@ajsworldofbodybuilding7076]

Thanks

[@samawad4564]

Ian can easily win the most important/influencial BB social media personality award

[@sethbagalman3819]

Great video, guys. Note: Shawn's fatty guest posing took place while he was Mr Olympia (the year after he won it), not the year before

[@McFreedom_af]

Audio drops off at the 340mark

[@CDK9966]

Martin looked absolutely fantastic, great balance overall, condition, and a complete physique. He is ready for next weekend. Nick is really struggling with the waist control/size, and the upper to lower body balance. I was shocked. Andrew and Hunter looked fantastic, great guest posing overall. And Derek is absolutely ready to defend his title.

[@luffytrace1]

You two are a great duo. Great vibes, great analysis.

[@pedroito1244]

Andrew has it all he just has to be patient with his growing so he doesn’t blow his midsection.

[@Jrocc811]

Nick with that blown out gut 🤮. It was awful. I think he loses NY pro. Not sure to who though.

[@Ghana13PharmD]

No way aj said he didnt see an issue with nick midsection. Is he blind?? Lol

[@ajsworldofbodybuilding7076]

It is not the smallest, but he has other weapons and it has never been a issue before I don’t see it being a issue next weekend either

[@tylergeorge7468]

lol doesn’t see a problem with nicks midsection..

[@jacobhospelhorn7326]

It is a slight problem. He’s also a week out so it has more than enough time to flatten out.

[@john_m3619]

He’s probably just being nice since they share the same sponsor. Completely understandable. But I got to be honest. Nick looked horrendous. He somehow managed to make his silhouette even worse. It sounds crazy but I could see Martin beating him. Similar to how Shawn Rhoden beat Phil. Phil won most poses but lost due to his waist.

[@ChanceBloodstoner]

@@jacobhospelhorn7326lmao a slight problem? He has an entire turtle shell for a stomach. It’s completely blown out of proportion and makes his legs look tiny. It’s ridiculous.

[@Samm490]

Fitzwater looked damn good! Small waist, big back, complete.

[@ajsworldofbodybuilding7076]

Very good

[@MW304_]

Nick has maxed out his physique. There’s never gonna be any drastic change. Derek has no ceiling. For the next few years he’ll be able to bring something new to the table. Nick in the bubble gut era would have been dominant.

It was cool to see Urs & Ramon to be up there. Urs is fun with everyone.

[@john_m3619]

I was honestly pleasantly surprised about Samson. I thought he would look really off due to him being off cycle. He looked incredibly aesthetic. His vacuum looks great

[@i_kill_for_zardoz]

So many people were raving about Andrew, but between the two huge tall black guys onstage, Dauda look better IMO. And I'm not even a Samson fan lol. Jacked's long shins and peg calves really bother me and hurt his balance IMO.

Nick's obliques are growing far too much vs leg muscle size that the flow he already lacked has gone even more. I also hadn't seen Martin in a while, I am super excited for NY now, I don't think Nick has a guaranteed win... Edit: holy shit forgot about Quint 😮

[@Jesse-df9fz]

Nicks legs are GARGANTUAN from the side and back, but very unimpressive from the front, i don't anyone would touch nick at all if his sweep from the front was as wild as it is from the back, like literally no one would come close, it hurts him a lot when he stands next to derek and hadi that have more impressive waist to quad ration from the front, but again he KILLS everyone in the legs from the side and back

[@nialbarnsley4108]

What are these bodybuilders thinking URS and NICK WALKER 🤔 😳 😕 what the he'll is with the white faces. Is no one saying something to them

[@dmanteigas]

Some people are totally delusional. Martin struggled to win against Goodvito. To put it into perspective, Goodvito was a clear 3rd in Arnold Brasil. He was not even in the discussion for the top2... while Tonio took a 2nd that could have been arguably a 1st. People look into a guest posing that means nothing and seriously think that Martin will even be in the discussion... Martin will need at least one between Quint and Tonio to be off which I doubt to make it into the top3.

[@talkingtrashpanda]

finally someone talking bout Hunter looking great

[@ajsworldofbodybuilding7076]

Huuuuuuuge

[@baseballstrengthandpower4445]

I really like when Iain shares his thoughts. He puts a lot of things in context which helps a lot understanding. A lot of people kind of written off Nick and Samson after this guest show, but they are going to be battling for 2-4 at the O this year

[@Alexg94]

Nick walker acts like he’s already won 5 olympias. Third class structure.

[@jeffmartin7097]

Your bias for nick is silly. His stomach was biggest on stage and he's a week out. Derek blows him away side chest. His legs are better off season then nick in shape. Nick's Jimmy chest and shoulders has zero zero striations. He's never winning Mr O. Never. Bet the house on that

[@StoicMiles]

Martin is going to be a threat 2 years from now. Derek’s biceps aren’t great as the standard and that’s Martin’s weakness. He’s got a bubbly physique. All he needs is maturity and some added size to his biceps.

[@aaronroberts5941]

I think the back drop should turn to black or a dark solid color during posing then as soon as posing is over light it back up with all the sponsors? I can’t be the only one that sees this as a problem solved with the back drop messing up seeing the athletes clearly. Yep that’s the answer… has to be ?! 🤷‍♂️

[@leonardgarcia5320]

I know being there live vs. Videos there's a difference, but Andrew's physique just doesn't have that flow compared to the other top guys

[@brianblack2244]

Im not a pro and im not a judge but i dont have to be to see tht clearly nicks wasit to quad ratio has gotten worse. His obliques are to thick. I love all the pros and i am no cusaul fan whatsoever. But lets call a spade a spade. NY PRO is gnna be such a good show. Lots of good BBing dialog when its all said and done.

[@marc23009]

Alot can happen in 1 week and it's Nick Walker.. why on earth would he show up to a GUEST posing super shredded... the pills and taking out all the water on the real show day is their prio 1. not a guest posing.

[@chinmay6249]

Nick's midsection is very distended in transitions and his arms and legs look smaller when he's posing, because of his midsection. What's the point in building such large arms and legs, then growing your gut out and ruining your shape.

[@jipkortmann]

Wow how nice of Melissa Bumstead to give these good insights!

[@youwhatnow3159]

Nick's legs simply do not flow with his upper body. Compare the flow and shape to someone like Fitzwater and it's even more obvious

[@redmudkip]

The casual bodybuilding fans drawing conclusions from a GUEST POSING is wild 😭

[@TheDewosaurus]

Nicks biceps are literally insane

[@jeremycook9852]

He has great peaks but I think in the front side by side with Martin, Martin's overall bicep mass is better.

[@lgpugh35]

ANDREW is MORE JACKED THAN EVER

[@Mb8t6]

Just like what others are saying, big Nick fan but wasn’t impressed with this showing! Put Nathan’s latest physique in that lineup and he beats most of them imo

[@speedy.gonzahles]

Why is everyone pretending like Nick's mid section isn't a problem, it's a big problem, it ruins his shape, it doesn't look good at all.

[@jaysmith9496]

Its not even the distention, its the width. When his waist is wider than his hips, there is zero flow, none. from the front his waist almost looks like the same diameter as his chest. sure posing is different but relaxed and transitions matter. Infact for the front on relaxed he looked kind of like palumbo near his end. All torso, small arms and legs...

[@danielmarquezbeerloverandb5354]

Iian referred to Martin as someone who’s never won a show…. He just won the Detroit. His airheadedness just proved me right again. He doesn’t know what he’s saying 😂

[@diegobello958]

The way bodybuilding it’s going with symmetry. It doesn’t favor Nick at all.

[@garianshepard7735]

I think walker is super flat and he is going to shock everyone when those carbs hit full blown. Derek’s back is in a tier of his own especially in the back double .

[@brianweiss183]

Not seeing issues with Nick's waist? You have to be blind tbh. In some transitions looks bigger than a pregnant woman.
