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.

Hell yah thanks Iain for asking my joint question😂 I really connect with Paul being a stoner too and those donut joints he was talking about are incredible

[@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

[@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.

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

[@streetspirit956]

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.

Regarding Carlos Jnr and should he have entered such a stacked pro show ... the whole "maybe hold off until you're ready to win / think of your career / get momentum = the reason that the open shows are so lacking in depth & numbers.
