Jose Raymond: One Week

One week out, 213lbs... a good 11lbs over the weight class...

Jose Raymond: 21" Guns

Weighing in at an already shredded 218lbs, two weeks from the 202 Showdown at Olympia, Jose Raymond, my pick for the 202 win, measures his arm at a pretty damn massive 22". Jose is only 5'3".



At 11 days out, Jose tipped the scales at 220lbs:





And training legs just eight days out:

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?

Day 5: Jose Raymond

With an even more impressive 2010 than 2009, Jose Raymond continues to do serious damage in the 202 pro ranks! Jose was third in Orlando (at the Europa Show of Champions) and fourth at the Olympia 202:





Runner up in New York and Sacramento:





And wins in Tampa and Hartford, CT (at the Europa Battle of Champions):







The pitbull of the 202 class! Pretty amazing physique!
