Ronny Rockel: New York Shoot

The Rock doing a shoot for MD back in May, when he was runner up at the New York Pro.

Flex Lewis: New York 202 Champ?

Well it looks like you all thought Flex the actual champ at the New York Pro a couple of weekends ago...



And I have to say I did as well. Particularly when you look at the pictures from the show individually, or even side-by-side as I posted previously.



But... I have to admit, from the MD clip below Jose does look particularly impressive from the front, and does have the size on Flex... though Flex takes the side poses and the back, almost certainly. His glutes are pretty amazing...



So, being a big fan of both these guys, I think it's pretty fair to say it could have gone either way. I don't think Flex was as quite on point as he was at the British Grand Prix, but of course this is his third show so far this year (and Jose's first).

Alexander Nataf: Unlucky for Some

The HUGE Frenchman placed 13th in New York over the weekend...



He still needs some work and to tighten up some, but I would ranked him ahead of Brandon, Cedric and even Roelly!

Jose vs. Flex: You Decide

During the prejudging play-by-plays RxMuscle's Dave Palumbo wrote of Jose:

"Freaky glutes/hams�� Crazy striated�� Excellent color�� Insane back double�� Great vacuum�� Great side leg�� His legs look like Branch Warrens."

While at MD Victor Martinez said:

"Looks his best! It's him and Flex Lewis! Wow!!!"

And Shawn Ray:

"Damn, he is on! Vascular, dry, and fighting for first!"



Of Flex, Paulmbo wrote:

"Coming off 202 British Pro Win�� Knarly glutes�� Good back double biceps�� Crazy calves (look suspicious)�� Easily top 2."

Martinez thought "This is his show! Dry, thick, and balanced!" and Shawn Ray had Flex as the "Winner!"

Jose won the show, his third 202 win (after 2010's Battle of Champions and the Tampa Pro). Flex won this year's British Grand Prix after taking 2010 off to grow. His first pro win was the 2008 Europa Supershow, followed by 2009 Atlantic City Pro. Palumbo seemed to favor Jose, the MD guys' Flex... what do you think?
