Did you think Roelly's 12th place was fair? Yes, he had a gut...but he was massive.

Let's talk about Olympia stuff that isn't related to Phil vs Kai
We're dodging more ninjitsu attacks than Flex Wheeler. We're ducking more bullets than George Farah. We're facing more death than a kid leg pressing at Branch Warren's gym.
You can't stop us. You can't hold us back.

He was huge, but very distended and waterlogged. I'd have had him above Kuclo and JOJ though.

big roelly fan, and yes he was massive..but conditioning was miles off in prejudging. Tightened up a bit for the finals but still.. way off. Maybe could have jumped up a place or two but eh..

Fair.
The picture above still doesnt give a true indication.
He was waaaay off and should be penalised.
He had too much catching up to do after the accident.

Off in pre-judging, sharpened by Saturday night but still had the gut....he looked pregnant in some poses/transitions....

He was almost as soft as Ramy from the rear, so I think his spot was semi deserved. He could've gotten by if everybody came in bigger and fluffier and therefore with more gut, but guys were decent level conditioning so his combination of the gut (way worse than Phils, for example) + softness really hurt him

He has always had the mentality of xoming in bigger and fuller. IMO his Chicago pro size with goos conditionjng would have been enough to place top 8.
Anybody know who is he working with for his prep this year? This has been a bigggg mystery !Honours in Physics

Roelly was off but I feel he has the potential to stand toe to toe with the best once he gets back on track.

Who thinks a 100% conditioned Ramy would be hard to beat? Ramy with Dexter or Branch conditioning - don't think anyone would be able to beat that....

Ramy with Ronnie conditioning more like it. It will most likely not happen but it would be VERY hard to beat.Originally Posted by EVO-PT

How the hell did Branch beat Big Ramy? Worst placing on the Open in my opinion.

Ramy IMO DID deserve to place under Branch, but it was close and the cards reflected that. That being said, a conditioned Ramy would have murdered the second call out, so easy top 5 for him. I see know reason why he couldnt' beat Rhoden, assuming he was in the same condition as Rhoden or better. That leaves him with just Kai and Phil to contend with... I'd have to see them side by side all in shape to make that call comfortably.Originally Posted by cedricnumerouno

In the 212 Ed Correa brought it strong
Morel continues to impress, Kuclo actually impressed me( no joke) with his package, and Dexter at 238/15th Olympia show brought it strong!

But some people were judged perfectly in prejudging despite looking watery, bloaty, pregnant, bloofy and goofy, so they should have judged Roelly by the same rule of thumb, correct? Roelly's physique was top 8 easily. In OP midsection is only one with abs flexing and even visibleOriginally Posted by jakebrah

If and when Beyeke and McMillan get back next year, the 4-10 spots will be interesting again.

I could not take my eyes off Roelly stomach . Branch was more conditioned than Ramy, esp during prejudging. Props to branch he id well. I thought Wolf looked awesome and lower than I would have had him. Furthermore, would have liked to see wold compared to kia seperatly and phil seperately as him and Roden are apple and orangess- just depends on which one you prefer. I preferred Wolfs look better than Phil, kia, and Roden, and yes while he was a lil flat, esp prejudging, as he filled out more saturday, its probably better to choose to be a little flatter/more conditioned than fuller due to looking unconditioned, if you have a choice between either one
