does make for entertaining photoshops though, the faces i mean
anyone know far behind the line he was standing? 1 foot's length?
i wonder how much of an effect that has on the viewed size and the effect that would have on the lighting on him to the judges
edit: if anyone knows how far the judges sit from the bodybuilders i could probably calculate the differenceCertified 9/10 aesthetics by RepWeekReviewer, the reviewer of the GOAT Dominoes pan pizza

I'm so glad you made a gif of that. I remember watching the Olympia, and thinking that was some WWE style drama. LOL, Phil is quite the character. Now, I can cut him some slack, but back then it rubbed me the wrong way. I'm proud of the way Kai maintained his composure. He strikes me as a very patient man, at least when people are looking.

Yes, that's one way to look at it. When we have to nitpick, to the point of criticizing someone's conduct, that tells you just how close the competition was. The fact of the matter is, Phil doesn't really have any significant flaws, and that's the reason he won. Kai showed what he's capable of, and gave him a reason to be worried. But, in order to outshine the reigning Mr. Olympia, you have to eclipse him.
That's the problem with only competing once or twice a year. If you screw up, or behave out of character, it takes a while to redeem yourself. I think he felt less pressure to win, and tried to make amends at the Sheru Classic. I'm sure you remember the video of him and Kai on the bus in India. At least, that's a start! Everyone makes mistakes (I've lost count of mine), so I can't hold it against him.
Nice of you to mention, and very cool if you find the time to do that. I still have to rep you for the other scans you posted. Thanks!Last edited by patbanya; 02-10-2013 at 05:48 PM.

Yeah, the promoters and judges of the Sheru are more or less obligated to uphold the Olympia placings. I'm sure that's a huge relief for anyone going into it. Kai was a good sport when they talked about the Olympia. He knows what's up, and many of the fans side and sympathize with him.
