I think their goal will be to get a top 5 spot, and have the rest of the year to work and to improve. Don't forget Andrew, since turning Pro, never really had the time to bring his body up. It's just thanks to the fact that he has great genetics that HE DID improve a bit size wise. Having a full year off is the key.

Andrew is an anamoly in the Open division. He has a classic physique waist with a s@#$ ton of muscle on a 6'3" frame. Every show he enters, he will STAND OUT. Walker, Lunaford and Choopan look like science experiments but at the Olympia they continue to place higher than Andrew.

I still have tough time seeing Andrew in the Too 4, Prior I had 5-7 being Brandon, Hunter, Andrew (in any order). But now I think he can get into the #5 spot for sure. I understand that Hunter is one of the best bodybuilders in the world but personally I’ve never seen what other people see in his physique, but that might just be a me thing.

[@kendallt909]

So, I was actually at the Texas Pro. I took to heart what Fouad and the crew were saying in an episode about that you cannot comment on these shows based on pictures and video, that you have to see these guys in person. Boy were you guys right. Hunter looked so much better in person than he does on the internet. It was a really close show in person, and Hunters back blew away Andrews. I think Hiunter lost the show from his posing conditioning fading through the posing rounds. Andrew won fair and square, but it was sooo much closer in person than the AJ dickriders on the internet make it seem

I’m not a fan of vacuum poses, especially from the front. From the side I could perhaps see it, but that ab definition from Andrew is where it’s at. Abs have been an afterthought for too long, finally someone brings it back as a feature point to tie in the whole physique.

[@MartinLopez-pc5lp]

What's with all the "if_________ are you gay?" or "____does it make you gay?" questions. Are dudes that insecure? Like when did smiling become a factor to determine if you were gay? Me and my gym guys are always laughing while working out. It's like a group therapy thing. And if someone isnt feeling chatty or wants to be left alone for the session. They say so and we see if they want to talk, if not, we give em space. Like when I am squatting or deadlifting, I prefer to focus more and i make it known I dont want to be bothered and my friends respect it. But once I am done, I am usually joking again.

Andrew's front double bi w those abs is arguably the best we've ever seen. Literally a picturesque statue. Hunter's midsection looks terrible in comparison. That was the difference. I agree with Mike 100%, vaccums look like shit. Andrew is bringing back shredded abs as a prerequisite to a crazy physique.

[@rodolfoibarra8756]

[@jamesupload4881]

As it relates to the side tricep. I understand why it's not acceptable to do a side pose more frontward facing but why is the one arm over head abs and thigh pose where Hunter turns to the side and shows more of his obliques than abs acceptable? So my question is if Andrew’s side tricep isn’t acceptable because he turns forward why is Hunter’s abs and thigh pose acceptable when he turns to the side

Tyler said he spent like 30 min with him after to show him some better ways to hit some shots

what about the fact that the other guys also have flaws though? All I keep hearing is Andrew's hamstrings and glutes arent shredded enough. Nick Walker has an awful structure, Derek has fat looking arms with no bicep/tricep seperation and looks incredibly soft across the chest and shoulders. In my mind, these are bigger flaws than glutes not detailed enough, especially when the rest of Andrew's physique is absolute perfection.
