Can Sergio Oliva Jr win his first pro show?

[deathmetal1992]

Can it be done? No top 10 Olympian is competing but you have Jon, Juan and Akim. In my opinion it can be done but it's not likely. He doesn't have the mass needed in his back and. His structure is very weird, torso looks much longer than his father's and the waist is significantly wider. We shall see.

Only if Akim comes in with poor conditioning imo. Juan has been missing his peak and his smaller legs have really cost him. It really depends how Sergio looks standing next to Juan if both are conditioned and not flat.

Akim will walk over everybody at this show. If he comes in in decent shape it's lights out 1st's for him. Also, akim probably has the best victory pose in the whole game right now so I hope him and Sergio hit it together

I kind of agree. Akim has no real weaknesses apart from inconsistent conditioning. Juan seems to be getting beat by guys who had no business beating him 1-2 years ago. I don't know what's going on with Jon, he hasn't competed in a long time.

akim is with the camel crew so he is going to be very tough to beat.

I agree, those guys don't mess around. His conditioning will be much improved and he definitely has top 10 Mr.Olympia potential with the fading of Dallas and Justin.

[Benpb18]

what fading of those guys?

A lot of people agree Justin has already peaked, and can't seem to get in great condition. The newest great white hope, Dallas, seems to have peaked at the 2016 Olympia. His conditioning at the Arnold along with Cedric's was mediocre, his most recent showing at the Pittsburgh was horrendous, albeit he is in the offseason. This is what happens when you try and put on too much mass too quickly.

that's disgusting ^^^

Pretty soon but not in this competition.

How the FUK does he allow himself to end up with a gut that size? I know this angle (when hitting a back shot, and being filmed from the side) exaggerates it somewhat, but it is still grotesque.

Back on topic, I like Sergio and think he's a very charismatic dude, but I also have Akim taking this one. Which is not a disaster, as it's Sergio's first pro show after all.

[danielmoo]

If Akim comes in dialed, he's got it easy. Sergio looks like he is too far out for NY.. Juan's upper body always looks fantastic but we know his leg situation. No idea about Jon.

[Loctus]

Only thing I care about is what Akim looks like. The dude has potential to pull a 1998 Ronnie; come out of the blue, kill a show before the O, and then crash the entire party


IF he manages to put it all together some time. Dude's a complete freak

Not with those lats he wont

Sergio did it. Well done to him.

[tonyt82]

So happy to see him win.He has been at it for long enough.

[NeoSeminole]

He looked great

[deathmetal1992]

His arms look so full yet they look like a lagging bodypart, he has the exact same insertions as his father there. You would think he could easily build them up to Roelly's level.
