**Official Road to the 2016 Mr Olympia Contest**

[TropicalSunset]

Maybe I'm seeing things, but comparing his legs to both Martinez's and Bonac's, it looks like he's gonna get owned... big time.

Time will tell.

I thought the same thing. Legs seem small. But I expect Kevin to look AMAZING for his age and the length of the layoff...that is all. He will not outmuscle the top guys.

[TropicalSunset]

So where would be the best place for all the pictures of the athletes meeting and coverage in general, because obviously nothing is happening here.

[lordlosh]

Pics are hard to tell. Video is the real deal and we should judge by that, but for god sake he look small and lacks width. Just what i said. I was sure he will come in great condition, but lack thickness/size, width and of course hes legs ...

strong caption potential here...

[Kiwi_]

Fingers crossed he's shredded under there..

[TropicalSunset]

He looks smaller (Ramy) but honestly he does not look to be shredded. But we will see in 2 days.

[flangmasterj]

Always find it odd how the Euro sites get their pics up before the US.







Salt and pepper.

[TropicalSunset]

Roelly looks MASSIVE.

Dex looks homeless with his beard, but he will be dialed in and you know that.

Vic's arms look like they have grown. Hope he can surprise us.

Nice to see Phil not covering up.

[BrutasMaximus]

Some of the boys are looking huge.

Roelky, Ramy Josh. Looking at the pictures Kevin has his work cut out in the size department from what I see.

[unique1]

Nobody on this site ever agrees with anything I say, but so far I haven't been wrong.

Roelly is going to be the star of the 2016 Olympia.... I'm not saying he's going to win, because even if he deserves to win, they will never let him. But when this show is over Roelly's stock is going to be much higher, he will become the peoples choice.

[lordlosh]

Im putting my faith into Rhoden this year. He really try to bring up his weakness and if he really come with improved back, no midsection problem and with a little bit more size then last year, he can take the trophy from Phill. Of course if judges allow it ...
I check his preparation for Olympia, and his back looks wide as furak. He also said he put a lot of effort to improve his back, width, thickness and details.
I can`t wait to see what he will looks like. Same goes for Ramy i hope he finally nail his condition. He got to. But then its game over for Philly.
BTW after how many hours the Olympia will start? I mean the main event for Mr. Olympia ?

[TheFornicator1]

Well Levrone proved me wrong, he will compete

However... He's going to look like a physique competitor out there. No way he's getting top 10.

Good on him for sticking it out and sticking to his word though. Much respect.

Phil has it in the bag. Roelly, Dex, and Rhoden fighting for second spot. Ramy 5th.

[IvanNorge]

I'm personally rooting for Ramy and Roelly this year. I really hope Ramy has nailed his conditioning this time. As for Roelly - anything can happen there. He can be very ON and place top 5 or even top 3 or very OFF and place anywhere from 7th-10th.

[Gorky88]

Of course, Kevin will go on the stage 18th.

[deathmetal1992]

Levrone looks small sadly. He looks 230 tops, he'll place top 10 for sure just due to his name. Top 6 seems unlikely. I was hoping for this



This was him in the 250s.

[BartPimpson]

Did Ben Pakulski even train for this show?



I have Roelly winning the t-shirt Olympia so far.

Indeed. Roelly seems massive, I wouldn't be surprised if he's in the 270s and he's only 5'6". Ramy seems a lot smaller than his usual self, let's see if he's conditioned, if he can't get peeled while being 280-290, then mass is all he has going for him. Levrone, Dexter and Pakulski are the smallest guys so far.

If ramy can nail his conditioning he will be a real threat

Maybe they're flat or maybe it's the camera, but yeah, those pics make a lot of guys look small.

Ramy looks seriously un-Ramylike. Phil looks like a pair of arms in a size Medium shirt (more so than usual, I mean). And apparently that unshaven homeless man in a tracksuit placed 2nd at the Olympia last year.

I understand the 212 guys have a weight class to make and they always look tiny, but so do a lot of the opens. Probably just a weird set of pics.

[KevinSorbo]

ITT: Some people think they can tell how competitors will do by looking at them in hoodies and tshirts and forget bodybuilding is about illusion. Everyone forgets in 2009 when Jay looked relatively small in tshirt two days out and people were "sure" he was done. We'll see how they look on stage but hard to be sure of anything yet.

You are right, typically I don't agree with your post. This one I do agree with, however.

[Jammer02xd]

Roelly looking HUGE.

[Marc.o]

The camera makes everyone look small https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net...04&oe=5871CA68

[BiggerTommorow]

It's not just illusion these guys are gonna carb up, pump up and look way bigger than they do right now.

[unique1]

The Canadian mouth piece Pakulski, looks less muscular than an Olympic swimmer...

At least we know who will come in dead last. How the hell did he qualify????

You can't compare cameras, he was 252 couple weeks ago, he won't be smaller on stage

I think Levrone looks excellent, not huge, but in shape. Where he places will all depend on his legs and back....

Ramy looks smaller than usual, this may be a good thing if he's ripped. But I don't think he is... I have a bad feeling that his prep was botched?

Roelly is a total beast, if he's in shape he will finally become a major contender. This could be his breakout year? Actually, if he nails it 100% he will be better than Phil. But... being better than Phil, doesn't have anything to do with winning the show...

[deathmetal1992]

legs will probably be better than in 2003 but will definitely be the weakest in the show. Still the best wheels among the 50+ year olds.

Roelly back double bicep is the worst in the top 6. If he nails absolutely everything then I see him placing third at best. Won't be better than Phil regardless
