1. Phil
2. Ramy
3. Roelly
4-6. Curry/Rhoden/Bonac
7-8. Dexter/deAsha
no specific order for 4-6 and 7-8
apparently phil is coming in smaller this year but more streamlined with a fixed gut. ramy, as always, is capable of beating phil but as always, he won't come in the right combination of conditioning/fullness. He's proven he can't but if he does it just once, it's his for the taking.
Rhoden was off last year but he's capable of beating bonac. Curry is as well with his improvements imo
Roelly placed ahead of bonac last time they competed and I think Roelly will come in on point, beating Bonac here.
- definitely curry over deasha
- first time dexter places out of the top 6 in a long time
- sergio olivia jr won't placeLast edited by bartosh; 08-23-2018 at 02:44 PM.

1. Phil, as always
2. Big Ramy
3. William Bonac
4. Roelly Winklaar
5. Brandon Curry
6. Dexter Jackson
7. Shawn Rhoden
8. Nathan DeAsha
9. Juan Morel
10. Cedric McMillan
Roelly could realistically take 3rd if he comes in on.. Recent pictures have shown a bubble gut though.
As always, Big Ramy could theoretically win, but we've been hyped over him for 5 years now. Nothing has really changed much.
Bonac WILL come in on his game as recent guest-posings have shown, so top 4 for sure.
Dexter isn't slipping so much as newer, younger guys catching their stride. His bicep is an issue, but other than that he'll be Dexter, just a lower placing Dexter.
Brandon Curry could shock everyone since his visit to Kuwait... Dude looks like a whole new person.
Realistically, placings 8-10 are all interchangeable. Olympia is looking pretty stacked this year.Strong mind, strong body.

1. Phil
2. Rammy
3. Bonac
4. Curry
5. Roelly
Excited to see a more conditioned Phil this year and I think his proportions are spot on and he will have no problem holding onto the Olympia title. Roelly would have placed higher but it seems in recent videos at least he is once again having trouble with his gut. I could see either Bonac or Curry in 3rd or 4th place, Curry seems to be extremely well conditioned with probably the best taper on stage this year.

It's time for a change, if O2 played their cards right:
1 Big Ramy
2 Phil Heath
3 Bonac
4 Rolley
5 Dexter
6 Rohden
Btw I'm still debating to attend or not, and if I end up attending I'll try to live stream the press Conference if they let me, otherwise I'll take a great video of the press Conference and upload it to YouTube

If Bonac and Roelly are both in top shape, and Ramy is off, i think they will beat Ramy. Ramy is probably at the point where him not being conditioned is going to cost him. So Ramy is a wild-card here.
I think Phil will win again as long as he's in shape (and he's never not been), especially because his hernia is fixed. I think Dexter will still make top 5. If Bonac or Roelly are not ripped and full, freaky looking, then Dexter will beat them.

Bodybuilding is lifting heavy objects and putting them down. There are gyms everywhere and working out is already popular but most people don't want to be anywhere near Phil's size. What do you want him to do, open a bodybuilding academy in Zimbabwe or something?
Who gives a fuk about being an ambassador or whatever bullcrap that means. The Olympia is about who has the best physique on show day. Period.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Ramy could get 3rd through 5th. As said at the press conference “I will show something you have never seen before”. That’s Ramys comment for 3yrs now.
1- Phil, don’t see him goofing up again
2- Bonac, he has beat Ramy and rare he is off
3- Nathan/Dex, either in shape can beat Ramy if he isn’t dialed in. Nathan looked amazing and if it carries over he can pass a still the same Ramy
4- Dex/Rowley/Ramy/Rohden, pick. They award the improvement and other then 305-ish on stage, has Ramy gotten better? Don’t think so, he has been the same for awhile. 2014-2015 was his best. Bigger is not improved. Leaving the door open for anyone who is inproved and Ramy is off/the same.
Not a fan of any 1 guy, but Ramy if pushed to 4th-5th would be great. Because then maybe a new group would get him to bring the weakness up and come in 280-ripped. Right now his quads overpower his calves, blocky waist, no real back detail next to Phil, Bonac, Dex, Rowley and Nathan. Bigger is not better and if he was 340+ off season he needs more than 16 weeks to be dialed.
