Clarence De Vis: Surprise Poser

Clarence De Vis was supposed to compete at the Jacksonville Pro over the weekend, however after flying across the pond from Belgium the 5'6" former Belgium National Champion weighed in at 226lbs - 24lbs overweight! So instead he guest posed for the crowd!











Clarence placed 8th in the open class at the 2011 Orlando Show of Champions at the end of April.

Guy Cisternino: 2011 Jacksonville Pro

29 year old Guy Cisternino in his third IFBB pro competition. Somehow I have overlooked the 5'6" Jersey boy. Cisternino earned his pro card at the 2008 NPC Nationals when he won the middleweight class weighing in a 174lbs. He made his 202 division pro debut in 2010 at the Europa Battle of Champions, placing 6th and then moved up a slot to 5th three weeks later at the Europa Super Show.



During prejudging, Dave Palumbo at RxMuscle's Paly-by-Play wrote of Cisternino:

"Best I’ve ever seen him. Much bigger... weighed in at 202lbs (he was 176 when he turned pro)... phenomenal conditioning... striated glutes/hams... Striated quads. Shredded abs. Great coloring. Should certainly be top 3."



At MD the comments were:

Don Long: "Legs are hard. Looks good with the extra weight." and "Nice glutes. Hams are split. Good back double bi."
Fakhri Mubarak: "Very dry... Very grainy looking. Confident poser. Good most muscular."



Cisternino was in the first callout along with Vaughn Ettienne, Branden Ray, Mike Valentino, Angel Vargas and Nathan Wonsley. He was then brought out again for fourth callout - this time just with just Ettienne, Ray and Valentino - and a top three finish is all but confirmed for him at this point!

Branden Ray: Jacksonville Pro

Getting ready for the Jacksonville Pro on August 6, Branden Ray who placed 7th at last year's Sacramento show. He's looking for a win, and looking pretty speculative in the above clip. In the pic below he was 4 and a half weeks out:
