Road To Olympia 2014 THREAD ( All Mr O Athlete videos and pictures here )

I agree with this^^^^^^^^^^^^, but I still have Kai coming in 2nd tomorrow night.

If this really is a 'sport', then the best physique wins full stop. Poor sportsmanship, not being the best 'role model' or 'representative' for the sport simply infers this is a pageant and not a sport. Time for the IFBB to build some credibility

[jrhodez]

are there rules saying one competitor can't get in the face of another?? Are there written rules saying you can get penalized for that or could they just make up some bullshiit and say they dropped him points cuz of that?

EDIT: yes exactly what the pose up above stated

[BetaThanU]

Kai dominated Phil. Phil will still win.

[PlzN0Alesana]

phils "this guy" look he gave to the crowd while he pointed at kai cracked me the fuq up

[TropicalSunset]

Kai a clear winner tonight from what I saw. Phil is definitely off, I expected more from him. Ramy still needed to be compared...he is a MONSTER, though not conditioned enough.

Wolf IS flat...hopefully he carbs up well in the next day and comes in full tomorrow.

I thought Kai looked fantastic tonight. Great mix of size and conditioning. He can come in a bit tighter as well tomorrow. I see him winning this unless we have a IFBB conspiracy decision.

[jmiddleton96]

I'll post some pics.

Sorry for that quality.


















Edit: Better pic for Tricep

[ROMMYromboid]

whoa...Kai was drying out as he posed...I also have Kai slightly ahead of Phil, Phil looks good but not his usual signature conditioning, seems to be holding some water in his abs...

Of course I expect officially that Phil will be still be ahead of Kai...

This, mind blowing to watch kai improve by the minute, Wo1f also looked to be getting less flat,

I have it

1)KA1
2)WO1f

3/4/5 Rhoden/Ramy/Heath

Branch looks the best in a long time.

Noticed Heath's got a gut this year, looks off but very very full, arms are huge.

TEAM Wo1f

[weltweitefurcht]

fuukkkk this picture makes it look like its a complete battle for top 4!!! Phil looking watery, kai hardening up by the second sheeeiitttt

Phil does look watery in that pic, but I wonder how much of that is a lighting/angle thing too.

[BatmanDeadlifts]

Phil got this in the bag. He just got straight 1's on score cards guaranteed.

[KBoss302]

Seriously Bonac looks like he will win "most screwed competitor of the Olympia" award this year.

No, that title unfortunately goes to Alina Popa. She should have won Ms. Olympia.

[Skallfraktur]

This talk about penalizing Kai makes me seriously worried. Phil was dominated tonight, there's no way in hell he should be going into the final as the top guy.

[Ragana]

Some observations:

A- Phil is a bully. Move the **** over...

B- Phil looks like he's 7 months pregnant. Not a single ab was seen...

C- Kai, just like in 2012, will be the uncrowned champ.

D- Ramy makes all these guys look like children. Give him a few years to dial it in.

E- Bonac got ****ed over.. Looked way better than Kuclo.

[lordlosh]

Phil shall be gifted it...thats why they didn't bother putting Kai and him together at the end. Didn't want it to look too obvious that they don't want Kai winning.....

This will be fu*** joke. Kai is better conditioning then Phil this time, and by big margin + he is wider and bigger.
Phil lose every pose. Kai must be with perfect or close to perfect score. Phil is a lot off so he must be even behind Wolf.

Kai might've been placed next to Phil if he wasn't acting like an ass onstage. He's got no one to blame but himself.

[cedricnumerouno]

Anyone got pictures or a youtube link?

[T3mpest]

Kai held a bit of water when he posed individually. You could tell Phil while a bit better condition had some weird oblique issues in a few poses and wasn't super crispy from the back, slight edge to Phil.

By the time they got them in line I thought kai had more or less caught Phil and it was about even. Wasn't sure if it was because Kai tightened up or if he just compared better than standing alone.

Final callouts Kai was even sharper and clearly was best on stage, he appeared to be tightening the whole way.. however the judges didn't give them a 1v1 on stage which IMO signals they gave phil straight firsts anyways... Only chance Kai has is he comes out tmw looking like he did at the end of tonight and Phil is still off. I'd say its 90% locked up though, based on how the judging is going.

Also iris Kyle is a joke. Female bbing is already about dead, least she retired before it just got sad.. she arguably lost last year, this year I think it was clear she wasn't the best on that stage.

[TropicalSunset]

Not as much as Roelly's belly.

Holy ****...a HUGE disappointment there. He was 6 months pregnant on that stage. Very bad.

[TopAussie]

Phil got this in the bag. He just got straight 1's on score cards guaranteed.

If being out massed and being in worse condition gets you straight 1's well...hangon I wont even be surprised, happened for Jay over Vic in 07

[ViewCart]

I want to see kai hittiing this MM

[Treeling]

Phil shall be gifted it...thats why they didn't bother putting Kai and him together at the end. Didn't want it to look too obvious that they don't want Kai winning.....

If they do then the Olympia will lose all of its legitimacy and people will only compete for money there. AC will become the main BB show. Unless HQ pics comes out and Phil has some weird details no one has seen before and Kai just looks good because stream quality is bad there is no way Phil wins.

Do you even watch sports?

They call "fouls" on players and stuff.

[Unbiasedfan]

Omg compare kai and phil in this one...im in awe. Lighting didn't do anyone any favors imo

[musclemecca]

this shieeet will be fixed sooo hard tommorow, Kai or Rhoden is number1 today.

[smsg112]

Hypothetically speaking, if the judges did penalize Kai, then why wouldn't then equally penalize Phil as well? They are both causing trouble. And why don't they just say that they must have no physical contact, must leave some distance between each other and proceed to compare them side by side?

[weltweitefurcht]

If being out massed and being in worse condition gets you straight 1's well...hangon I wont even be surprised, happened for Jay over Vic in 07

The only thing is a timing issue. At first, Phil was more conditioned. At the end, Kai was more conditioned. By then, they were on opposite sides of the stage.. My instincts tell me judges will be considering the beginning when they were next to each other, than at the end.

[oldunclehue]

I'll post some pics.

Sorry for that quality.


















Edit: Better pic for Tricep

I got Kai beating Phil in 6 of the 7 poses, tricep phil looks better. But in the side poses, Kai's legs dwarf Phils and appear to even have better detail.

I like the look/flow of Phil's back, Kai's in blocky....but Kai's have more detail.

Phil's arms look soft in the side bicep as well.

Abs = Non-existent in many poses.

LAST YEAR: everyone said that the Saturday show doesn't matter much, the Friday show is where the winner is picked. If so, I can't see how Phil wins...unless Politics (he aint with MuscleTech anymore tho).

Does tomorrow hold lots of bearing on the picks...or more for show?

[AdamantiumYoke]

with Roelly... i just hope it was carbing up gone bad[ too much food , less water , bloating etc] ... n not a permanent issue and . if Wolf fills up... he can be atleast top 2 . But wtf happened to Phil ?!!!!

[Larfleeze]

[Postmort3m]

Phil's abs almost on that Boyer Coe time
