Re: Mr Olympia 2018

Very disappointed, hope they figure it out for tonight. I feel Shawn may take it if he can hold onto his condition, Phil's midsection did not look pleasing at all. Big Ramy needs to stop coming in BIG and work on his conditioning. Looking forward to seeing it tonight if iHerb can get it together.

Re: Mr Olympia 2018

well they broke down and used youtube.. that has to hurt their pride ,but they needed thousands of connections ,and youtube and netflix are really the only companies that can handle that kind of bandwidth
hopefully they will eventually re post the prejudging of the open class..
More important ...

Rhoden won!.. given that the past shows us the Mr O is very political and how hard it is to defeat a reigning champ.even when the champ is not 100%. (Remember Yates in 97? , Cutlers last Mr O)
I would have put Roelly above Heath my self

Re: Mr Olympia 2018

So glad Shawn got it and politics didn't play a role, although Phil lost to himself, he did look better at the finals but it's typically over at prejudging...glad that iHerb figured out the glitches with their streaming, not one issue last night.

Congratulations to Shawn Rhoden!!!

Re: Mr Olympia 2018

I did not get to see the prejudging, and that is really where the contest is won. I am hoping it will be posted later somewhere... but for now I have not found it .. everything I have seen of the first night looked like crap for the open class... the 212 class was not too bad.. Rhoden looked awesome.. Curry had a big improvement .. Roelly looked great ... Ramy did not show up

Re: Mr Olympia 2018

I can’t find any side by sides and not sure if the video of Ramy in youtube was prejudging but he looked very lean and full! Miss the super high res pics on bodybuilding.com for side by side comparisons.....seemed like an off year. Very little hype or social media pre buzz.

Re: Mr Olympia 2018

Ramy showed up at 310 lbs and needs to stop doing that, he needs to get his conditioning better. Roelly did very well!!! Phil needed this to humble him. Shawn is da man!!!

Ill see if I can find some side by sides. Very limited coverage it seems. I haven’t seen much but still shocked they denied phil the next Sandow. He did look soft standing there for the final 3 line up but they were just standing there.

Re: Mr Olympia 2018

Phil was getting to arrogant! He bragged last year right after the show how Ramy out weighed him by 50 pounds and he still kicked his ass! Lets see who's laughing now? Xdude the prejudging was on right before the saturday night show started on that Iherb channel.

Re: Mr Olympia 2018

Xdude the prejudging was on right before the saturday night show started on that Iherb channel.

I saw that , it was constantly dropping out , freezing and looked like crap.
so went to bed ( I am on the east coast) and checked it the next morning for the rebroadcast.
they has the 212 complete ( and pretty good quality) but only a few minute of the open class.

the 212 class I kind of feel bad for... there was at least 18 contestant and only the top 5 made it to the finals. and the pay out was crap
it was cool to see they gave Jose Raymond some props. it he was 6' he would 300lbs of ripped hard muscle.He is a mini beast

iherb gave up and put the finals on youtube
only wish they would re-post the prejudging as well ( assuming they have a decent copy)

Curry had some serious improvement, same with Roelly. and Rhoden even Improved IMHO, heath looked flat compared to the final 3
Bonac of course is a mini beast

I actually think I agree with the judges more than ever, except I would have put Roelly above Heath he was just so much harder looking ( and maybe Bonac)
