That’s a terrible picture. Did not look like that in person. Not saying he deserved the win, but that is the worst shot.
Jose Raymond was insanely thick - just unreal.
Actually, Kevin’s back looks about the way it always does. If they didn’t fault him for it last year, no reason to start now.

And they say shows are won from the back lol. Apart from having a better glute-ham tie in Ebrahim Ali-Alhaddad had him beat (or equal) in every other pose.
If a high profile name like Flex Lewis could get cheated out of first place at the Olympia then its no surprise the same has happened to Ebrahim.

Yea - I would have had it - 1)Ebrahim 2)Raymond 3)English
Sami impressed the hell out of me - great physique, very symmetrical, but he was considerably taller than both English and Raymond.
Ced…
You can say that’s a terrible picture all you want, but go look at the MD pics lol. Every back picture is THAT bad.

Well, like I said - if it was up to me I’d have Sami in 1st, Jose 2nd and English 3rd, but in person at the show I thought it looked better than the pictures.
That’s all.
As impressed as I was with English’s overall lines, he really does have an ugly physique, detail-wise. Even at the Olympia I preferred David Henry.
I liked how Ced was incorporating his ‘new’ triceps into his poses a lot more, especially that unique MM.
Couldn’t agree more about how English shouldn’t have won. Gets me thinking back to something Chris Aceto said about what Phil had to do to beat Jay at the O. Something along the lines of ‘you can’t just beat the champ but full blown knock them out of the park’. I thought English was well and truly beaten.
Cedric Jamacniddle definitely looked pretty good at the show. A little watery but his best showing yet.
Ced looks great
Only thing I would add is some meat on his calves and delts. Rest is right on point
Hope he can keep his shape at the higher levels
+1 on English looking terrible. Not just from this show alone, but ever since I saw him. I don’t understand how someone like Palumbo gets so much vitriol, and this guy goes winning shows left and right
Practically the same level to me
LOL @ cedric jamalcnipple
