Always liked Rockel and felt he was sort of overlooked as he wasn’t a big name, never really got much coverage in the mags, not the tallest guy etc etc. Last year things really started clicking for the man,… we’ll see what this year has in store though.
His upper third looks like it really does belong on a top-5 olympian or so. Crazy!
Lower half I dunno. Small waist which is great, his obliques don’t push out to the side as much as Ronnie’s and Cutler’s do…
But his legs and lower back just don’t seem as freaky as his delts, upper back and arms?
Wonder how he’ll do at the O, against Heath especially…

and against branch in 2 weeks at the arnold[/quote]
Oof… That’s right…
Branch’s upper body isn’t as good as Evan’s (dunno about chest though), but his legs are freaky as hell and he’s always peeled at shows… So branch has 2 things going for him that often win shows at the higher levels, plus being a vet.
TBH I prefer Evan’s current physique over Branch’s (despite Branch’s recent improvements), but I still feel a lot more respect for Branch…
Anybody know what Evan is putting up these days? He’s one of the few guys who train quite differently from most top pros, and it’s hard to tell due to that…

only from recent videos but deadlifts with 585 for reps 2 weeks out from a show is best ive seen so far
Well, he’s got momentum (if you believe that it actually helps in BBing) going in to the Arnold, but I’m sure a lot of people agree that Dex wasn’t at his best,… and actually, to be honest, even though I love Evan, after watching some video clips, especially the last call out I believe where they were both put through the mandatories, I would have called it for Dex, he was just more ‘complete’ IMO. Of course, if all the judges went for shape over conditioning I never would have won any of the shows I did, so maybe I should just shut the hell up -lol. Gonna be glue to my computer during the Arnold though, without Kai and Heath, it’s gonna be interesting.
