1) Phil
2) Kai
3) Shawn Rhoden
4) Dex
5) Branch
6) Wolf
7) Freeman
8) Centopani
9) Johnnie Jackson
10) Lionel Beyeke

My take:

- Coulda went to Phil or Kai - very close. Think Phil has maxed out due to his small frame and don't see him going on a long run of wins in the future like many predicted before.

- Look out for Rhoden - great structure and tiny waist - killa debut!

- Dex looked great for his age.

- Branch looked so blocky standing up there with the top 4. Out of his league if you ask me, but love the guy for his work ethic.

- Wolf - think he will never win an O. Too many flaws, namely invisible calves and super high lats.

Just my take! :)
 
I was surprised to see Branch place so low. But very glad to see Dexter place where he did. Old guys rule!
 
Rhoden looked great. I see him in person 3-4 times a week at my home gym. Nice guy too.
 
You know I like Wolf's physique but he just can't seem to get his calves to grow at all. I wonder if he even trains them. I'm no BBing judge but I don't care that he doesn't have hanging lats. I think it makes him look more aesthetic, small waisted. Too bad he is such a crybaby too. I think that hurts him probably by 1-2 placings in 1/2 his shows.

I think Branch is maxed out. To bad. If you have a sack and can't appreciate a guy that hunts giant wild boar with a knife then you should turn in your sack.
 
I agree with every response before my post, pretty spot on from my opinion too.

I tell ya, I didn't think Kai would ever have come in so strong, as I thought he had pretty much already peaked, but while him and Phil were posing against each other, I could have easily given it to him. I had him ahead actually, and I don't really care for him on top of that. At the end when he and Phill were side by side relaxed, Phil's structure looked better.

I pretty much agree with you there. At first I thought Kai looked more impressive than Phil through the prejudging but side by side comparisons showed that Heath had the small advantage.

I agree guys in my opinion Kai had it hands down! Especially if you look at legs Phil had very little calfs compaired to Kai, that should have been the desiding factor.. O well maybe next time..
 
The one-point call was dead on in my eyes. Kai had him from back and legs, Phil was just sharper over all and he kills from the front. Branch Warren, mad respect to him, but I don't think he deserved top 6.
 
I just looked at some poor quality pics on my cell phone. Comparisons between Kai and Phil, it could have easily gone Kai's way. The pics I saw I would definitely give him the advantage.
