Re: Olympia Contestants

well it is this weekend. looks like Nathan De nasha is out too .. he is fighting steroids charges.
Roelly was #3 last year and the highest ranking from last year.

so no Heath, Rami, Rhoden. wow this is really open.

OK so this year is wide open... I have got say, it could be anyone's game. this will come down to who is in shape, ripped and big..and no politics..which is the way should.
there is no last year's champion that is "the favorite" that can be a little off and still win.

so I am looking at this list, and it is down to
rolley, bonac,mcmillian, Morel,curry,kuklo and we can not rule out dexter, hadi,moore and of course anyone that manages to figure out their peak perfectly ( everyone else on the list)...
it happen before when Samir Bannout came out of no where to Win...I mean he was always good,but his conditioning was always a little off. come the 83 mr o it was wide open like this and boom he nailed it.

I have not been reading the blogs and instagrams ..., so I have no idea of the top 6
I can even guess

Top 6 for me

Roelly
Brandon
Bonac
Hadi
Dexter
Cedric OR luke

Morel could sneak into that mix easily, he’s peeled out of his shoes right now. Patrick Moore could surprise EVERYONE and will.

in that order?

I'd be impressed with any one that put down the top six and got 3 in right placing ..and the other 3 in top 6 ...this is up for grabs

you didn't have Kuklo in there, I thought last year he made serious improvements. didn't he break top 6

Not in that order. Love Steve but don’t see him
Top 6. The entire list is interchangeable for sure!!! Freakin dexter could win. I’ll say this though, if Cedric NAILS it, he wins.

1. Kamal Elgargni, $50,000
2. Derek Lunsford, $20,000
3. Shaun Clarida, $10,000
4. John Jewett, $6,000
5. Ahmad Ashkanani, $4,000


I didn't know Flex was out... ashkanani is kind of a surprise ...he is usually dead on
it was a toss up for me between lunsford and elgargni ..but I would lean toward elgargni
unsford looked bigger, but elgargni had better lines and appeared more ripped

as for prejudging of the open... wow that was a tough call... Rolley has done an amazing job pulling in his bubble gut..I would say he doesn't have one anymore
top 3 brandon hadi and bonac ..no idea who is going to win

Derek Lunsford looked awful, way off. The guys gotta go open and stop sucking down to 212. No detail or conditioning. And he has the potential to smoke the entire line up.

Open class has me mystified. Only thing I know for sure is hadi in definitely top 4. Brandon will probably win though, he has enough to win. Why is no one ever completely peeled anymore?!

Brandon
Rolly
Hadi
Bonac
Dexter
And I disagreed with kuklow being in the first call out.

Mcmillian could move up to 3-4th tonight. Stay tuned.

Re: Olympia Contestants

for the first call out, I think they were covering the bases... that was a big line up..
once they started, kuklo definitely didn't belong.... I didn't see the compulsories he must have look better then..

Re: Olympia Contestants

do you have a good link for the 212 compulsories/prejudging?
all I can find is copies of phone video , mostly portrait instead of landscape ( why do people do that, my tv is not portrait, also too much ceiling and floor)

Re: Olympia Contestants

1. Brandon Curry, $400,000
2. William Bonac, $150,000
3. Hadi Choopan, $100,000
4. Dexter Jackson, $45,000
5. Roelly Winklaar, $40,000

I would have hadi in second ..but pretty much agree

Re: Olympia Contestants

All I have to say is Chris Bumstead deserved the win, he has the Classic Physique look and looked phenomenal, I know they were picking him apart, but he rose in the end. I believe Steve Weinberger did a good job with his picks...Sandy did great with the ladies, the Ms. Olympia Bikini came out of left field for sure. It was an interesting Olympia this year for sure.

I can’t argue too bad with where placings ended up. Was a strange weekend for sure. Pre judging was a shit show for the open, not a soul in shape besides Patrick Moore and maybe hadi. William was there but about 80%. Most tightened up for finals. Brandon’s legs were a mess, nothing from behind like hammies, no separation in quads. His showing was good enough though, phenomenal structure.

Breon and bum are apples and oranges. It’s really whichever you prefer. Breon was 100% like every year and didn’t win which was odd to
me because he was the standard for the division. I’m saying Chris didn’t deserve the win but nothing else breon could have done, he was at his all time
Best.

Yes in prejudging there was a lot of water on stage for sure, except for the women's divisions, cut and dry were the ladies. Enjoyed the fitness competitors routines, and these gals are doing them depleted and dehydrated, crazy.
