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

[feverinlove]

His face looks pretty drawn, hopefully that's a good sign.

Holy ****e, look at his face. Never seen him like that.

[mindworm]

Lots of new faces this year, Kevin coming back, hoping Ramy dials it in for once, and the 50/50 proposition that Phil returns to form -- there actually seems to be a reason to watch this year. Since the forums have been dead for a few years now, I guess lurking has to change to posting...

I, for one, want to see a spot on Phil take on a diced Ramy and his absurd toy He-Man proportions. Side by side -- not with 3 folks in between them.

Fingers crossed.

Well said.

This. Ramy going to come in dialed this year??

[ROMMYromboid]

Nah it's much more satisfying just knowing how unnecessarily upset they are about something so insignificant.

Those 2 posters you refer to are making valid observations - STOP.

Heaths complete lack of out lats is not in significant, Heath weighs 30-40lbs less than Ramy for many good reasons one is because he only has half a back in comparison, from the front the difference is even worse. If we measured RAMY V HEATH's back thickness on a scanner I would put money on RAMY having a thicker back.

^ Phil's trying really hard to squeeze out 1 ab in that FLS but it just ain't happening.....not even 1 visible ab

I'm far from a Phil apologetic, but he's clearly not fulling posed in that shot. Cmon man. You can find pics of anyone 75% posing and make them look awful.

[nonamewut]

imagine if he would fix the ab split like marc collabliner did, hed look insane

[Dystopia1980]

Yeah, shame about the ab split as well as chest split. Kills aesthetics. Still freaky slabs of muscle though.

[danielmoo]

You guys seen McCarver's ab split? lol

[purdey]

lol at asking him to suddenly get massive calves, at this point even putting on a few cm's on any muscle is asking a lot.

They are not getting any better in comparison to the rest of his body.

"Asking him to suddenly get massive calves"? Way to twist what I said. I never "asked" nor did I even imply they would get better. I just stated my opinion that I feel like he needs bigger calves and more back thickness (specifically in his lats in the BDB) to be proportionate.

Dallas has the calves that Ramy would need to be proportionate.

[Gorky88]

Ramy's calves looked quite improved this offseason. That wont be the deciding factor for him anyway.

[Kulutues]

Calves don't matter in IFBB bodybuilding, exhibit A: Dexter Jackson, smallest calves of any IFBB pro in history

Lol...yeah, because guys like Johnnie Jackson don't exist right?

Wolf got a major injury
Kai is a bich and wants to just peddle his supp company/thinks the O is rigged against him (but not Arnold's or any other competition)
Branch is out as well

interdasting and lame, thanks

[FAN0FdaSport]

I'm pretty sure the judging panel for the O and the Arnold are the same lol

[bartosh]

I know. The only reason kai gave us is because he thinks the powers that be will never let him win which is...ironic(?) due to your point

On an unrelated note, all I read about him now is how terrible the customer service his company has. Comments and comments of his fans on his instagram asking him for help

What makes you think the Judges are the "powers that be"?

[flangmasterj]

Actually a good listen for once.

[bartosh]

What makes you think the Judges are the "powers that be"?

I didn't say that. It's just weird that the "powers that be" would allow kai to win an arnold but not an O when they both give comparably big exposure. I think that's bs

[Big Slim DaDDy]

face expressions..

mg]

Wow, so important.

[batspoof]

The judges may be the same at both the AC and the O, but that's because they're just IFBB employees that are contracted to work at those shows. The Olympia officials and organisers are the ones that dont want Kai at their show after his antics at the 2014 Olympia, conducting himself in a completely unprofessional manner bad mouthing phil heath at the press conference and accosting him on stage. They also dont want Kai after his little crybaby routine on social media portraying the IFBB in a bad light after he failed to participate in the 2015 Olympia and made it look like it was their fault. Fact is that Kai is a troublemaker and you all know what happens to troublemakers in the workplace.

[203mh]

Via his instagram, Fred Smalls is out of the Olympia

Salmonella, that sucks. Terrible timing.. Wish him the best recovery

[Witherman]

sounds like ramy coming in quite small (relative to his previous packages brought to the O) according to luimarco.

i'm actually pumped for this years O not for the fact that I think anyone will unseat phil but more that spots 2-6 and 7-10 are completely up for grabs.

levrone is a wildcard, roelly looking diced, dex looking bigger, up and comers looking great, rhoden always aesthetic as hell.

couple days out!

Wow, so important.

Yes it is.. Thats actually one of the points pointed by Arnold as one of the reasons bodybuilding is **** nowadays.. They all look retarded struggling to even move.. That should be or at least look efortless
