flexrondorianzenegger1 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Is there anyone out there in NZ that can give The Ox a run for his money at this years Nat's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realtalk Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 If you have had to qualify then no because we have probably seen everyone. If anyone can turn up and enter on the day then you never know I guess but unlikely. NZIfbb bodybuilding in the men's bodybuilding class is so weak.. We just had the Auckland champs... as far as I'm aware Auckland is the biggest pool of competitors that are nzifbb members and a guy won the overall who weighed 61kg. One horse race, even if Steve came at 70% he would still win... Then again with moe and his corrupt judging panel anything is possible I guess... Pretty much zero integrity sitting there. donz and Jymmay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastBuilder Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Lol signs up just to start a topic about Steve ? Number one fan boy ?But no I don't think anyone will.We were having a yarn on Thursday and he looks fucking ridiculous for six weeks out.A lot can happen in six weeks and from what I've seen I'm a lil disappointed I won't be in Auckland to see the finished product on stage.I'll just make do with seeing/meeting Bibby at the NABBA/WFF Nationals down here.Can anyone give him a run for his money now that his only competition, Steve, has gone NZIFBB ?

flexrondorianzenegger1 Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 I agree.I see why you've been appropriately named realtalk.maybe mateo king of conditioning could give him the closest contest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realtalk Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 From what I have seen of past shows Steves conditioning is far better than Mateos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flexrondorianzenegger1 Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 goes on about how ridiculous Steve's looking and how dissapointed he will be not to be there and calls me no 1 fan boySounds like I'm #2 bro Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gym rat Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 I would say no to any beating Steve the ox ortan at nzifbb Nats after the photos that I saw of Steve at South islands in May . It will be game over for anyone who competes against Steve regardless of which winner from any of the classes. flexrondorianzenegger1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gym rat Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 I would not be all that surprised if Steve gets his pro card at Nats . Steve would give some of the pros in the 212 class a good run for there money guys like flex Lewis Jose Raymond etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I like the Oxs look. Not a big fan of a lot of bodybuilders bodys in NZ but he looks mint I reckon. Him and Flex are the only two I actually follow on IG I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainlikeafreak Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I don't think he's elidgable for a pro card as it's his first year in the Nzifbb after a million years at nabba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit shit, I mean if you have what it takes shouldn't you be able to advance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donz Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I think eligibility depends on how many posts you put on insta and FB beginning with "I use Narlabs /insert product here" Love how joocy Steve looked at the ChCh show, I just wish NZIFBB photographer didnt shoot with a potato phone, its a bit fucked when most selfies back stage look better than their high res images Boosting and Hitro 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realtalk Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Well... Sala did the old CNI show which was a week before nationals, then did nationals, won his class not the overall and he got a pro card that year. Steve has been an nzifbb member longer since he did the chch show. Sala wasn't even a member for a month. Previous to that he was a nabba competitor.I don't think that is an ifbb rule, maybe a moe rule? I think Mark Stewart was president then and there was drug testing. The good old days when the comps were actually exciting to watch.... Except we never got to see mike k and sala go head to head for the overall cause people run away from drug testers. What a joke that whole testing was, I don't know of any other tester sport where people can run away lol. I paid good money to go watch that show and felt quite ripped off to be honest. It was all just as dodgy back then as it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccaz Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 i dont follow bodybuilding very much but i would say of all the photos floating around social media, steve is by far the closest to an actual pro bodybuilder in NZ (im talking alive people, otherwise there is big kiwi too) although im not a big follower so i could be not aware of someonedamn impressive imo and i would be stoked to look 1/10th of that at any stage in my life.

Nzs big Ramy haha Grant Pieterse has also coma a long way, much more balanced physique. Competes in Nabba WFF now and will be a good showdown with Kagan at nationals No one will touch Steve at NZIFBB nationals. Size and condition is world class.

nate225 Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Top 3 competitors are Steve Orton, Matteo Vaihu and young Tom Shaw who has made phenomenal progress since the Pro Am. Pretty damn good quality top 3 IMHO, haven't seen that level for some time. Also got guys like Ephraim Craig and Josh Styles so we're gonna see some big guys battling it out!

trainlikeafreak Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I think you need to compete on the Nzifbb for two seasons OR place at an international show so I am guessing Steve will get an invite to the Arnold amateurs in 2016 and turn pro from there or else the week later at the pro am. Just my thoughts and I am looking forward to nationals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

train hard Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 There will never be a decent open mens line up at the Nats anymore. Because all the good amateurs get made pros way too soon and not even pro quality this diluting the talent pool. Steve will win easily and then get his pro card do a couple of average pro shows then call it a day like all the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
