IFBB Men’s Physique Pro Sadik Hadzovic is training for the ultimate prize in the sport, a Mr. Olympia title. The East Coast Mecca/Bev Francis Powerhouse Gym will be his home away from home the next 11 weeks. This is not your ordinary gym. It is a place where legends in the bodybuilding and fitness world have inhabited since the 1980’s. He plans to add to that legacy and step on the Olympia stage September 26th at his all time best. Sadik has provided NPC News Online viewers the opportunity to see just what it is going to take to claim an Olympia title. This is the first of many videos from the aspiring Mr. Olympia.

I don't like being picky on every word someone says, but MR OLYMPIA is an IFBB PRO BODYBUILDING title, he is gonna compete in the men's physique, so it should be Men's Physique Olympia title, he isn't competing in bodybuilding right?
Anyway, he looks good, a great structure and a great physique really overall, not the look I aspire personally but I'll give props where it's due!I think Cedric should become Mr Olympia before the age of 40.

I see absolutely no value in a video like this to be honest. It was basically a vanity video, like something that Lazar Angelov guy would put out. If he would have shared what he was actually doing that day for a workout along with his split, the methodology behind his split, his exercise selection, etc then there may have been some usefulness to this. If he would have shared some sort of knowledge instead of just expecting people watch and admire his physique this would serve some purpose. I will say I have made it through a few Steve Cook videos. I always agree with his views even though you can tell his actual scientific knowledge of the topics he discusses is not too in depth. He is at least spreading good information despite being sponsored by a supplement company and having to sell crap.

TTimerman yes, you no.
There isn't really anything to hate on Sadik for, he knows his market, he builds himself based on that.
You can't really say it's a "joke" when this guy is living the dream and yet you claim to have the same capability as him, but one person is making money doing what they love/getting featured on magazines/websites and having a great time doing it and the other person is on a forum commenting on them.

I will say one thing though. While I whole heartedly agree that physique or Mr. Olympia physique is no where close to being in the same realm as IFBB Pro bodybuilding etc...I think the lack of respect to physique is a little unfounded and hypocritical. Yes, they wear board shorts, etc. But all of those physique competitors are bodybuilders. Yes, they may not compete in bodybuilding shows, but they're still clearly bodybuilders. Some of you act as if they're nothing more than beach bodies, or just a bit better than beach bodies. All of those physique competitors are developed way beyond that. I'm sure they train everything from calves to rear delts, to traps, and to lats - something you're not going to see on some average gym rat who just looks good for the beach.
Most of these guys could compete in amateur regional bodybuilding shows etc. and win. They just look a little soft and funny with the board shorts. But they all have terrific muscular development.

I am not a huge fan of the division but I will say when I saw the Pro's compete I was impressed with how much muscle they carry. The bigger guys are being rewarded and the Pro level and Sadik has a sick shoulder to waist ratio and alot of muscle.
