The Sheru Classic Pro 2023 in France was an event that bodybuilding enthusiasts had eagerly anticipated. As the dust settled, the results were both expected and surprising.
The highlight of the event was Nathan D’asha’s victory. Already qualified for the 2023 Mr. Olympia, Nathan added another feather to his cap by securing his 11th Pro win. His recent win against Reagan Grimes was still fresh in everyone’s minds, and he continued to impress with his performance in France. The HD footage of the event, courtesy of Vitor Kildberg, captured Nathan’s sensational form. He has been consistently working with his coach, Stefan, who also trains other notable bodybuilders like URS Kalchinski and Wesley Vissers. Nathan’s win wasn’t a fluke; his abs looked fantastic, and it was evident that he and his team had nailed his peak. In previous years, Nathan oscillated between a fuller and a more shredded look. This time, he seemed to strike the perfect balance.
Theo Liguerier, a local favorite, managed to jump a few spots compared to his performance at the European Pro. He secured the second position in his home country. Theo’s improved form was evident. He seemed to have found the right mix of fullness and conditioning, which was missing in his previous contest. Theo’s physique, characterized by lovely shapes, lines, and impressive posing, was a sight to behold. He’s not far from becoming a regular winner of Pro shows and earning a spot in the Olympia.
Tim Budashheim was another competitor who caught the eye. While some believed he should have won, others felt his back was his weak point. Regardless, Tim brought one of his best packages to the stage, showcasing shredded glutes and an overall impressive physique. However, his rear lat spread and back double bicep poses were areas where he could improve.
Roman Fritz’s performance was nothing short of inspirational. After undergoing double hip surgery, Roman returned to the stage with arguably the best legs and upper body he’s ever had. His conditioning was off the charts, especially his glutes and hamstrings. If Roman can add more muscle to his upper body, he’s bound to win more shows in the future.
Alfred Chiriak, who placed fifth, was a subject of debate. Many believed he should have placed higher. Alfred’s physique was shredded, and his muscle density was impressive. However, some felt he lacked in the hamstring department, which might have affected his overall placement.
The classic physique category was won by Maxim Yetis. While he looked less impressive when posing alone, in the overall lineup, his form was undeniable. His front double bicep pose, characterized by a non-existent waist and full arms, was a standout. The question remains: How will he fare in the 2023 Mr. Olympia?
In conclusion, the Sheru Classic Pro 2023 was a testament to the dedication, hard work, and passion of all the competitors. As we look forward to the 2023 Mr. Olympia, it’s clear that the bodybuilding world is in for some exciting times.
