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

[KouRon]

Hey guys, i posted this thread last year and has been a bit of a tradition over the years to have a consolidated thread leading up to the Mr Olympia where we post all updates of all contestants leading up to the show including vids/progress pics and also discussion.

So lets begin guys 8 weeks out!

Gonna be an interesting show!

[MillerTime07]

In! I've got some free time so I was thinking about starting a Levrone thread. But I will start posting everything here, plus expanding to whatever pros post.

[TropicalSunset]

We used to need threads when there used to be coverage.

[BartPimpson]

Hopefully we'll get enough blurry 5-second IG training videos to keep this thread limping along.

Do you guys have any Olympia watching rituals? I kinda wanna turn it into an event this year.

[brendanh32]

I'll get started with the first prediction.

Top 5

Phil
Ramy (yas)
Shawn Roden
Dexter
Bonac

[Aaronza]

is there any recent videos?

[SammyJr]

in for levrone

[FAN0FdaSport]

In for Levrone

Ive missed the good ol' shytstorms here. I didn't appreciate Jay's last year because I was knee deep arguing against the nuthuggers and the sweet sweet savoring 6th place finish made completely miss the fact it was Jay's last time on stage. I think Levrone will look 11th place and be gifted but I still love the guy intimately, yes homo if you know me this isn't surprising...

Usually hook the PC up to the TV at mine or the bros place and invite any other enthusiasts around. Eat ****, drink beer, mute and ignore all the junk apart from the open guys and maybe open up the IFBB Brahs group chat and ignore you.

My friends and I usually tune in. We watch the men's finals until their break when all the other BS divisions come on. When that happens we usually go downtown for a few hours but try to stay up to date on the forums with what's going on. When we think it's finally going to the men's we take an Uber back to the house and watch the stream with some Dominos pizza.

There is a direct correlation between technology improving and less coverage.

IFBB is a special kind of special!

Haha good one. I like how men s open doesnt start until after midnight at this point.

Bikini and mens physique will basically have 100 people. I want to cry

[KouRon]

Yeh here are 2 from my fellow Aussie Josh Lenartowicz

Part 1


Part 2

[flangmasterj]

^ Faaaaark great videos. That is one of the gyms I'd love to visit. I reckon Josh is going to shock some dudes.

Yeah i love Josh, such a great humble character and he has such an impressive physique, i honestly have him top 6 this year...think he will shock a lot of people!




Dexter Jackson 10 weeks out

aye seen those vids of Josh, he seems great and I hope he goes a long way, watched him go pro in Melbourne

[MesoPeaks]

DJ is still going at it.....

Inspiration right there..

[Unbiasedfan]

Dam Rommy, Dex just said he is number 2 in the world. Whats up with that?

[BartPimpson]

You've got a date! Get your bro there too.

Josh had a stellar first year but I'm not too bullish about him. He will not beat Cedric, Rhoden, Roelly, or Ramy, and I think he'll likely lose to Dallas and Justin. The main thing holding him back is his arms.

[jmiddleton96]

Yeah he trains down at Dohertys.



If you were keen to see what its like. MAd gym, atmosphere is legit

[ROMMYromboid]

Dam Rommy, Dex just said he is number 2 in the world. Whats up with that?

Dex is infact correct, Kai is the current world #1, with Dex a close second. Heath currently is world #17 as he has decided to take most of the year off so far. Even if heath wins the Olympia I do not see how he could possibly rank above Kai or Dexter assuming Dexter finishes in the top 6 at the O.

[Razor44]

Man really looking forward to it all but more towards Dexter. LEGENDARY.

[ROMMYromboid]

^ Faaaaark great videos. That is one of the gyms I'd love to visit. I reckon Josh is going to shock some dudes.

THIS, I think he has the quality of mass to dwarf Heath. If Heath comes in anything like 2014 he will struggle to make the top 10 and would even loose to Bonac.

[Gorky88]

All the people that you said also structurally and indibidual body parts wise are more genetically gifted. If those guys come in at their best or close to their best, they beat him every time in my opinion. Josh has to keep his waist the same and come in with bigger arms and improve his back further to look even more monstrous.

Source of crack supplier?

[flangmasterj]

Well that doesn't make any sense. If he came in looking anything like he did in 2014 where he placed first he'd probably get first again.

2016 and ROMMY still has the IQ of a box of XXXX beer and a pack of kettle chips.

[BartPimpson]

Source of crack supplier?

The problem with trolling is that when you do it too much people stop reacting, so he has to keep coming up with more and more retarded ****. Two years ago it was "Dennis Wolf is a contender." Last year it was "Dexter Jackson is world #1". Next year he'll probably be arguing that Phil Heath's 2014 physique would not go pro.

[BartPimpson]

Why am I so excited about this show? It's going to be terrible!

Random predictions:

- Josh places above Victor

- straight 1s for Phil

- Dexter in 2nd, but not with straight 2s

- Ramy in 4th

- Dallas McCarver in the top 8

- Cedric above Justin

- Justin above Dallas

- Bonac inside the top 10

- At least 2 people massively off

- Roelly will either dominate or bomb horribly
