Prague Pro Results: Big Ramy beats Rhoden and Wolf

[LimitBreak]

1-Dex
2-Big Ramy
3-Rhoden
4-Wolf
5-Bonac
6-Winklaar

Bonac also gets moved up!

[extricate]

Definitely looked better than the Olympia. With improved conditioning and those calves coming up as they have been only the very best will be able to beat him.

[Unbiasedfan]

Wow, damm is he rising fast through the ranks. He could be so much harder still though

So by Rommy's "logic", he is number 3 in the world right now.

He actually only needs condition. His calves are fine

[extricate]

I meant that his calves are growing, which adds flow to his physique and in my opinion makes him a better bodybuilder.

Of course they were already big but his quads were and still are huge.

[bartosh]

Bet rhoden is pissed af like usual. Bet ramy is thrilled

[Iceman1981]

Dexter deserved the win. Ramy's upper body was still soft from the front, but his quads, hams and glutes were a lot drier than last week. I'm still surprised they placed him above Shawn and Dennis.

[MrMetabolism]

ramy should not have placed above shawn or dennis

[extricate]

Not in a conditioning contest.

[JaxVilleNick]

any pictures to be found anywhere for this show? props to dex for winning and continuing such a legendary career

One thing is for sure, Dexter is the current world number 1. The Prague Pro is one of the better judged contests and has been this way for a few years. RAMY + GLUTES = MR O.

PHIL HEATH + 50lbs = RAMY WITH GLUTES.

You don't have to be a mathematician to see RAMY > HEATH.

[deathmetal1992]

It's a big day for Ramy. Wasn't expecting him to beat Rhoden, was doubtful about him beating Wolf but thought it would've been possible.

[SammyJr]

hoping to see the vid announcing the placings

[Alito2013]

[ArdentiFilms]

I thought the judges putting him ahead of Wolf was a longshot even though deserved, didn't think he'd beat Rhoden at all, thats nuts. Looks like Ramy will be pushing for the title next year

Awesome conditioning.He will have a big announcement soon...

What do you mean?

[lordlosh]

I dont agree with Dexter been first. Ramy dwarf him. Rhoden was a lot better tho. Dexter is cool guy, but he lack size big time, next to Ramy he was looking so small, its just not real. Rhoden was in super shape and his legs are just ridiculous. What exactly criteria they use?
Rhoden was condition, wider and bigger then Dexter. Dexter has zero calves, and his frame is small, okay he was super condition, but that should not be enough when the other guy is a lot bigger, wider then you and is in super condition as well(speaking for Rhoden). Sometimes they choice size, sometimes they choice condition, they turn the thing how they like it ....

[lukamura]

That's total bull about Ramy beating Shawn, Ramy is big and everything but he lacks proportions and conditioning. Dex wasn't the winner either.

1. Shawn
2. Dex
3. Ramy
4. Wolf

[lordlosh]

He lack superb condition of Dex and Rhoden, but lack proportions ? What are you talking about dude ?
If we go size, width, condition and equal strength on each one, Ramy or Rhoden should win.

[gibbss]

in wonder on what criteria they had ramy beat both wolf ,and rhoden..
and finish next to dexter...

[jannek]

Lol they are gifting dexter these wins because they know he's retiring

[JaxVilleNick]

Lol they are gifting dexter these wins because they know he's retiring

no, more like the guy's proportions and conditioning are what you are supposed to go for in being a champion bodybuilder. dex isn't gifted anything, he earns it.

[Gorky88]

no criteria! it makes no sense for Ramy to edge out Rhoden but lose to Dex.

[Meshuggah]

Dex isn't retiring and if you think he's being "gifted" anything you must be new to bodybuilding.

[nonamewut]

1. Shawn
2. Dex
3. Ramy
4. Wolf

kinda agree with this, close top 3 with dex, shaun and ramy, heck even the top 4 is close

such a toss up with diffrent traits being each ones strenght

dex - CONDITIONED + aesthetic
shaun - AESTHETICS + size, some conditioning
ramy - SIZE + some aesthetics, decent conditioning, ofc obviously some freakfactor but his aesthetics kind of disarms the freak-alarm, which is a good thing for me since i prefer aesthetics
wolf - FREAKFACTOR + conditioning, aesthetically pleaseing when it comes to the proportions, v-taper, structure, less aesthetic when it comes to the musclebellies in the upper body, another strenght is his size, another weakness is that he is less "bodypart-complete" compared to the other 3(lower back, calves, disfavourable muscleinsertions in his arms and whatnot)

for me the victory should have been a tossup between dex and shaun, personally i prefer shaun, but dex is just so strong this year

Awesome conditioning.He will have a big announcement soon...

I'm a big Rhoden fan - but the fact is that Dex beat him distinctly in a number of shots - others where closer and a toss up.. side chest and back double was game over.. his condition comes through in every shot.. Shawn lacks the same sharpness in certain areas which really hurts him.

[lordlosh]

Rhoden condition was top notch. He was a lot bigger and wider then Dexter. Dexter legs are kinda gone. He have great BDB, but no width in both BDB and in RLS and look like a f**** child next to Ramy.
If we continue with that **** looking only about condition, if prime Ronnie come arround, probably some people will place Dexter above him. Where size and width gone for ?
And some guy above me say Wolf has no calves, yeah dude but Dexter have calves right ?
Rhoden come with fixed midsection and in great condition and size he deserve the win, or if they decide to give more props to size and width he should be second.
Nonsenses to put Dexter in first and then Ramy second. What criteria they are using.
And i like Dexter, he is great BB, 1 of the greatest, but i dont like placing like that.

Just insane the difference in Rhoden, Ramy and Dexter legs. Rhoden body parts is bigger everywhere. And he is in great condition.
He was f**** big time in 3 show in a row.

If you don't like Ramy placing below Dexter, then tell him to drop 20-30 lbs. He weighed in at 316 lbs at the Olympia. With 30 lbs less on him, he'll still be the biggest guy and will be shredded. When DJ was working as his prep coach, he said Ramy basically never goes flat. He said in a video that "You're seeing Ramy 'flat' right now because he's been on zero carbs for a week" or something like that, and his muscle still looked crazy full.

no, more like the guy's proportions and conditioning are what you are supposed to go for in being a champion bodybuilder. dex isn't gifted anything, he earns it.

This. I literally don't know of a single placing where I felt Dexter was gifted his placing, let alone a win. Has definitely had a few shows where he placed lower than I felt he deserved, but he's earned every victory.

You know, the rest of us could be just as harsh in our criticism about the guys you're favoring and tell you exactly why they got beat...but instead, we just go about it calmly and point out their weaknesses and how that relates to how shows are judged (as well as our personal opinions). We do that because we're not haters.

[bartosh]

That shredded animal guy placed terribly. Just noticed
