The 2007 Colorado show shocker that left everyone green with envy

Posted in: Articles by ProSource, Superfeature Articles | Jun 4, 2007

With Darrem Charles, Branch Warren, Dennis James and Silvio Samuel on the hit list of the 2007 Colorado Pro the build up was generating more rumble than a Jenny Craig clients hunger pain. Branch Warren had only recently won the New York Pro and Dennis James was coming to avenge his loss of the big apple. The outcome was as mixed up as Paris Hilton's perception of reality when these two muscle mutants placed outside of the top six and into bodybuilding obscurity.

15th: Leo Ingram
14th: Khalid Amohsinawi
13th: Will Harris
12th: Tricky Jackson
11th: Ed Van Amsterdam
10th: Omar Deckard

Not nearly as big and full as he was when he turned pro at last years USA's, Omar was very flat in comparison to what he is capable of. His long legs were very narrow and his flare had almost disappeared completely. By rectifying his glycogen stores he can improve much with what he already has.

9th: Johnnie Jackson
This year has been the worst year for J.J. since he turned pro. He has had a lengthy duration away from the stage and his return was way before his time. His legs, which were always his weak point, need ample time to catch up to his upper body which is still no where near last year's peak.

8th: Dennis James
The Menace came as big as elephant poop but the price he paid for his mass route left him so smooth you could probably produce soap from him if desired. Apart from Cutler and Coleman, James is probably the biggest mass monster on the block which suites his physique...if he is in shape, but that he was not. His legs really feel the brunt of this strategy which came across not only smooth but as small as I have ever seen them. Today his muscles just seemed way too behaved; we like to see "The Menace" out of control.

7th: Branch Warren
On common occasions, Warren has the freaky proportions that provide an R rating at bodybuilding events such as this. Although the freaky detail was visible throughout his quads he was carrying so much water that a flat pebble could be skimmed across him and ends up in Idaho. Warren has the type of physique that has to be 100% "on" to dominate the show. If he only manages 97%, he ends up in 7th place.

6th: George Farah
"Bullet Proof" Farah as usual brought his A game and had seemingly packed some extra muscle in his luggage before flying to Colorado. If you were to cut out Georg's trapezius, 9 out of ten would declare them reminiscent of the great Dorian Yates. Due to being shot in the stomach several years ago he has a hard time showing a symmetrical six pack in most poses and his quad/hamstring tie-in is pale in comparison to the rest of his impressive physique. Farah was happy with the result and always enjoys the challenge of competition

5th: David Henry
The "Giant Killer" was battling for victory here last year when he was in with a chance of causing an upset over Darrem Charles and the eventual winner Phil Heath. He eventually finished third but this year he slipped down to a lowly 5th. David was much the same as last year but the competition around him had moved forward. His placing was well received by David who was just happy to make the top five but he will have to increase his height to push for pro victory. Yes, a hard task indeed.

4th: Ronny Rockel
This had to be the biggest upset of the evening. The giant German had packed on more mass and came in more sliced than ever before. His symmetry is flawless and his proportions flow into each other without any road humps. If we want to nit pick I would draw attention to his back which was slightly shallow in depth and his glutes weren't as cut up as the rest of him. The disappointment was visible upon his fourth place announcement and the crowd agreed. Ronny has paid his dues on the pro circuit but he continues to get more shafts than a prison inmate named Bernard who insists on wearing a G-string visible above his trouser waistline.

3rd: Silvio Samuel
Since his departure from "Team Milos", many speculated whether he could get into the kind of shape that has emerged his presence as a threat to the victors circle in every show he has entered this year. That question was answered when he came to town with sliced muscle and wafer thin skin that showed mass which was almost 3-D due to the immense fullness of his muscle bellies. It appears that his new trainer - Charles Glass has been centering his focus onto Silvio's posing which was much improved and rewarded. Normally coming under scrutiny for relaxing his thighs during the mandatory round, Samuel kept them flexed tight the entire duration and it gave his legs an entire different look. His placing was well received by the jubilant Samuel and is now taking a well deserved break until his debut at the Mr. Olympia.

1st: Kai Green
The stripper turned pro bodybuilder was in incredible form at Colorado. Striations oozed from every angle as he perfectly went from one transition of poses to the next. His condition was matched by his vastly evolved muscle size, especially throughout the lower body. His shortfalls are his short clavicle but this is only apparent on the relaxed front pose. Last year Kai failed to make any impression on the bodybuilding circuit but how things have evolved for the East coast comrade. Less than two months ago Green had hardly any...um...green and was forced to ponder his future as a professional bodybuilder. This weekend he took home $25,000 for the win, $1,000 for the people's choice award and $10,000 for the best poser award. With $36,000 sitting in his bank I think Kai has finally found his calling.
