Derek took it. Ill be damned.
Man… Derek looked awesome but I didn’t see a single pose where he looked better than Hadi.
Derek won , and he deserves it. Hadi had the better conditioning for sure. I won't hate on his winning kid looks fantastic but i'm still a Hadi fan damn it really wanted to see him nail it down.The hot potato with the trophy continues. At least we didn't have to wait until 2am this time.
I couldn't agree more. Can't hate on Derek winning but to me he was third place here.
Interesting outcome, considering the notion from years past was if you are going to beat the champ, you need to do it convincingly. I think it could have been either Hadi or Derek and no one would have minded either outcome, bc it was that close.
I think it's the amount of talent that has come up recently. Bodybuilding hasn't been this stacked with competition since the 90's. There's 3-5 competitors that could take it depending what they bring that weekend. Deff makes it more exciting.That's the way it should be.
Now it feels the tables have turned and they want to crown a new Mr. Olympia every year.
Absolutely. The difference between the top three guys was so minuscule this year that you almost could have put them in any order and it would make sense.I think it's the amount of talent that has come up recently.

That was a good early call. Walker would have gotten 5th. At best.Olympia is this weekend. Wo does everyone think is going to take it?
Nick Walker just dropped out due to a hamstring tear. I think it’s going to be Lundsford.
Sweet. But calling after after pre judging is like saying you convinced a dead chick to let you fuck her.After pre-judging, it's looking like Derek, Hadi, Samson, Andrew, to me.
Derek and Hadi just looked more conditioned to me, with Derek looking a little better, in my opinion.
Samson in 3rd, he's just more polished than Andrew, but both have beautiful physiques.
I gave my pre competition picks also, you fucker!!!Sweet. But calling after after pre judging is like saying you convinced a dead chick to let you fuck her.
Half points.
4th almost for sure and 3rd is not out of the realm of possibility, IMO.i think nick had a very reasonable chance at 3rd place.
Sampson and andrew have great shape, but neither of them hit the mark on the conditioning.
I think it would have been a hard sell for the judges to put them ahead of nick if he came in how he usually looks
agreed, i dont think his structure will allow him to ever win the title, its not like there is much more room for improvements from him. but his size muscularity and conditioning really is top tier4th almost for sure and 3rd is not out of the realm of possibility, IMO.
I like Nick, and I admire the hell out of his work ethic and overall mass, but I just don’t think that he has the shape to win, unfortunately.
Those play in the who cares league. I'm sticking to my version of the truth your honnor. Is is more colourful. I will change the names to protect the guilty if you like.I gave my pre competition picks also, you fucker!!!
