Think about it....he's the most aesthetic competitor up there. Could it be what starts moving bodybuilding back towards aesthetics and away from sheer mass?

Would Shawn Rhoden winning the O be the best thing to happen to bodybuilding?

Personal preference yes would love him to be Mr O..
No gut!
But realistically there is nothing wrong with Phil as an ambassador for the sport.. and tbh i think he has done a great job this farInstagram @drsuperdose

Heath with no gut is aesthethic but not nearly as much as Rhoden.Now if you're talking a younger (and smaller) Phil, lik ein 08-2011 that is close, but still not the work of art Rhoden is.Originally Posted by alex070707

Love his physique, it's worthy imo. But his persona and presence in videos and interviews is pretty bland.

Move back towards aesthetics? sigh.
The answer is no."Kai's traps outsize him, when you compare them to the rest of his body, he's very very thick there, it makes him unbalanced." - Lee Thompson

He has no charisma, people will never get behind him like they do Phil & Kai.

This isn't a charisma contest. In bodybuilding the best body wins, not the guy who has nicest smile, or the best speech or whatever..

Based on the logic behind the post its a 100% no.Originally Posted by brendanh32
What we need is the best man to win regardless of politics if this is Rhoden then he should win, if its Kai or Wo1f then they should win. The last time we had a totally legit winner was Phil Heath in 2011. Dexter in 2008 and Cutler 2009 were also 2 legit winners.TEAM WOLF + TEAM KAI +TEAM CEDRIC + TEAM ROMGLE - TEAM RAMY - TEAM FAIR JUDGING

All Rhoden needs to do in my mind is bring up his back and come in conditioned and he has a shot. Definitely better than Phil if Phil keeps regressing and Kai is just so hit and miss.

Shawn has a much better looking physique than Phil but Phil is more complete. Kai should be Mr. O.tattoos - http://facepolution.deviantart.com/

On this forum having a small waist means you're "aesthetic" and not a mass monster.
Rhoden's one of the freakiest guys on stage.We're dodging more ninjitsu attacks than Flex Wheeler. We're ducking more bullets than George Farah. We're facing more death than a kid leg pressing at Branch Warren's gym.
You can't stop us. You can't hold us back.

Let's give it to McMillan (or Rhoden) and bring back some glory to bodybuilding. Brb, Phil winning Sandows while looking like he's 5 months pregnant.

I'm sorry I had to LOL @ Kai being Mr O.. (and this is from a Kai fan)Originally Posted by purdey
closest he got was 2012 (prejudging was very close) finals Phil was super full and destroyed him
2013 and 2014.. I actually thought 2013 Dennis should have been higher, and in 2014 Rhoden should have been.. pose for pose Phil wins the majority (and the poses Kai beats Phil on is very close)
And the antics Kai displayed this year really showed his lack of professionalism - we all make mistakes this is true, but he should have learnt from the press conference.. then he carried that stupid ass behavior on to the stage..Instagram @drsuperdose

Not sure if the whole post is sarcastic or not.

Rhoden's front is Mr.O worthy, his side is ok, although, his back isn't.
