i saw a video where they were talking about all these guys. pretty sure it was palumbo and aceto talking about how he drops so much and pulls off so much muscle to get down to 212 that it messes him up and he doesnt look as good. they pointed out how great of shape he is in now at that size and just tightening up a little bit and he would be killing open shows and a contender for the top 5 of the olympia no problem. me as a person would have a hard time pulling off muscle to make a weight class when i looked just as good or better than guys in a higher weight class but that is just me
