Tom seems to have better form and favours compound exercises like press-ups and also uses a bit of cardio through skipping. He is well defined and is probably 5'8, 15 stone with about 10% body fat. He could lose a stone or two and still look in good shape.
Marcus seems to only have one excercise: the one-arm dumbell curl. This doesn't do much for overall strength and is pretty much the routine of someone who just wats big arms, but nothing else. My guess is Marcus is about 5'6, 14 stone and has about 25-30% bodyfat.
IMO, Marcus has convinced himself he is truly buff, yet when a genuinely muscular guy comes in, he feels threatened. If he was serious about training he would do more rounded exercises, like push-ups, chin-ups, squats and and bent over rows. They add more overall mass than curls could ever do.
Opinions?

I think your right about Tom yeh, to be honest.
Uh i would say hid body fat could be slightly under 10 maybe 8 ish from the look of his vt..
His diet must be great and his training to he definately knows his stuff.
Marcus is your typical poser at the gym, doesn't really know what they are doing other than the obvious.
The type that would tell you, your doing somthing wrong and should follow his form even if it is bad.
Continually doing that same exercise will make it pointless, especially if he does it every day over works and wont help in size strength or definition.
I though at first marcus would be like a strength trainer, like squats bench and deadlift and thats about all he does, but he does none of it im sure.
Marcus definately feels really threatened, marcus was kinda of the alpha male, no one really messed with him, but Tom, even kenneth are bigger than him so are siavash and charlie lol..
Though i would keep curls in my exercise regime in there i wouldnt do it religously like he does.
Marcus has no idea.
Typical go down the gym willy nilly, but thinks he knows it all.
Tom is obviously very dedicated to it.

Curls dont really do anything after a while anyway because your arms become resistant to them but loads of people don't realise it. Then you have to go up weights and go up reps but eventually they'll just become too heavy and too time consuming.
