Another genetic wonder: LIONEL B

Isn't it just wild. In his shirt he looks like he's wearing a padded shirt they make for these guys playing super hero's in movies.

I thought the very same. It looks like he has one of those padded superhero costumes people wear for fancy dress parties :D
 
I’m going to be the bad guy and point out that yes structurally he has one of the best physiques in the game right now and he did very well at the Arnold but look when he turns around zero lines or desperation in his hamstrings and glutes. Some of these guys could dominate but in my opinion they don’t diet hard enough and are always so worried about being small or flat they stay super full and never get nasty peeled.

I agree. It's not uncommon that some of the genetic elite struggle with dieting in bodybuilding. I guess when something comes so easy to you it's harder to make yourself suffer. A generalization and some may disagree but it's often the bad structured white guy who gets the most condtioned for many shows. I suppose he has to do that to ever stand a chance against guys like Lionel.

100%. I dont want to take anything from this guy because he is truly gifted. But you are right this is the reason hes not cracking the top 5 otherwise he would be for sure.He has struggled in the past with condition. At the top you cant have one thing out of place at all. If he can nail his condition and get those hams, glutes and lower back dry as hell he could definitely push dexter and bonac. Honestly I think he would have to do some crazy crap to pull that off. Maybe hes just not willing to do that to his health. Hes smart. Hes young and has time to develop.

I agree. The guy looks incredible in gym videos but doesn't seem to have that edge that can take him to the top. He has the potential but needs more time and suffering. Someone like Nathan Deasha on the other hand has the potential to get into that top 3 spot in the very near future.

He is not that young. Lionel is 37. Compared to Dexter in maybe young but he definitely doesn't have much more time to develop. This should be his prime right now so if he can't do it now I doubt he ever will. He is a genetic freak and has the potential to move up the ranks. He just needs to bring that nasty condition front to back.
 
This guy could be top 3 at the O with his genetics. I am not sure why but he never comes in condition. He doesn't have the mental attributes needed to win big shows.

I agree and something seems to not be there. I saw a pic of him from a few days ago and he should be winning some of the smaller shows but he never gets in condition. His shape and roundness are on another level.
 
He posted a pic of himself from 11 years ago and he looked the same. I agree he had the potential to win tops shows. But 11 years and barely any progression shows a lot. I don't know why he hasn't won big shows. I don't think it's his choice of coach as I am sure he has had plenty.
