Road to Olympia - 2015

[Nuki]

That score card CANNOT be for real? He won every pose tonight? And lost only one yesterday? Hhehehehehe. He deserves the win probably, but my god that is ridiculous.

Scorecards to not represent pose wins. At least not these scorecards that you're seeing here.

Phil earned this win. Dexter was the only one who was competitive with the package Phil has. Shawn, Wolf are huge but have glaring flaws in their physiques. Everyone knows Wolf's problems so I won't get into those, Shawn has smallish arms but the real detractor was the distended lower abdomen this year. Farther down the list I must say I'm really embarassed to see Branch in the top 6, I just don't get it. William Bonac was also amazing, should have been in the top 6 for sure from what I could tell on the video and pics so far.

Stream was good, lighting wasn't terrible, too bad Kai was banned (the people's champ.)

happy b day

Thank you sir, will get u on r/c

That score card CANNOT be for real? He won every pose tonight? And lost only one yesterday? Hhehehehehe.

Show isn't judged on a pose by pose basis, as in 1-4th place awarded on each pose and the points tallied. It's judged on a overall impression of the physique and how everything fits in together.

Oh WOW! Coalman you were right for a change.

Happy Birthday to you indeed!

I've been right since 2011 but I'll take the compliment Thank you dear

The sickest part of this whole thing is that Heath predicted Dexter to take 2nd place, at the press conference. lol.

From what I've seen over the years, There was an Arnold Classic, I believe in 2008 where Dex beat Phil and I think that was the contest that set a fire under Phil's ass.
So besides Jay I'd say he has the most respect for Dex out of everyone

gifted a sandow once again

[Big Slim DaDDy]

which now makes him 2 times Mr.O.
.

Let the butthurt go. Free yourself from it.










You guys will always have the fact that he is narrow. You can take comfort in it. Snuggle up to it. Be held lovingly in its warm embrace.

[NVious]

If Phil wins the O one more time I feel like this section will devolve into death threats.

[RockyTheKid]

After tonight, it's clear Rhoden will never beat Phil. Wolf will never beat Phil.

After all the drama and heat, Kai will never beat Phil, either.

So the only way Phil doesn't get to 8 Sandows (and beyond), is due to injury, messing up REAL bad with his prep...OR if Ramy FINALLY nails his conditioning one of these days and shows up shredded.

That is all.

[demonwareltd]

Looking forward to in depth review of pictures - I guess the live stream looks different than being there in person but I don't see how dexter was so much better than wolf.

[jmiddleton96]

Say what you want, but Heath deserved the win. Hell I don't even like him

But he won. Was he at his best 2011 version? No. But he doesn't have to be 100% to win. I thought Kai could have pushed him but that's hypothetical

All the poses from the back he wins, thickness, symmetry and just pop. BDB is his pose. No one has a better BDB

He was good though. No gut, and he kept it in


He deserved to win it.

I saw it and called it from the time the finals started.

This is no time for jokes I'm being serious. He is narrow. He is smaller than guys who are bigger than him.

this< OR if flex lewis does a dastardly dash and beats him because he makes just bout everyone look like rubbish

[stealth_swimmer]

That was f**** s**** result. Rhoden and Dennis 3rd nd 4-rth and the smallest guy 1-st and second, that a travesty, but i expected it.
Rhoden and Dennis was bigger, wider and atleast the same condition with Phil, but they gift him again and the easy way without controversy is to put Dexter in second ....
Im happy Kai is done with this ****.

Just admit you don't like bodybuilding. You're a size-queen who just wants to see giants. Just go watch Markus Rhul and Big Ramy guest posing for the rest of your life and let us enjoy bodybuilding shows.

****ing spat out my coke RIP monitor AHAHAHAHA

Bro you beat me at the Dex argument from years ago. I said it since yesterday and especially today, Dex made my mind explode because I thought his best was way behind him.

I was very wrong. He was AMAZING.

[lee4]

Phil has an amazing physique but no one who only has a 4-pack should be Mr O...

Just no.

The sickest part of this whole thing is that Heath predicted Dexter to take 2nd place, at the press conference. lol.

He's probably seen a lot of the competitors prior to the show and they all probably have an idea of what they're bringing to the table. Dex looked great this year. If I saw him earlier I'd probably think he'd place very well, too.

Thanks. Was just getting ready to collect these myself. Not sure anyone with even a little historical knowledge of the sport would say something like that.

Post should have read - "Phil has an amazing physique, but no one who only has a 4-pack should be Mr O...except for the greatest of all-time that is."

...........................

Okay, I've gotta say this. I don't think Ramy deserved a top six spot in his condition. I thought Roelly did. Heck, I would have put Bonac, Branch, and Winklar ahead of Ramy. I like Ramy, but I don't think this showing warranted the placing that he received. I also thought Dallas could have easily earned a top ten spot, but I'm not sure how close he was because I haven't gone back to check the score card yet. Either way, great first showing.

[BrutasMaximus]

If things continue going as they are Heath will win 10+ Olympias. Th. message is clear you don't have to be the biggest and you don't have to be best conditioned to win the O.

So as mentioned before Ramy just needs to come in around 250 -260lbs shredded and he wins. No need to come in 300 or 270 for that matter. He is the same height as Phil so 250 will do just fine. I am sure as hell coming im conditioned at 250 is a hell of a lot easier than coming in condition at 300. Will be easier for Ramy, less taxing on his body and will be exactly the look the judges are looking for.

He might get points deducted for having wider clavicles than Phil, maybe an operation to shorten those clavicles is an option??


Anyone have a list of competitors weights?

[goddessamazon]

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm gonna download this to my computer. Whenever I am having a bad day I'm gonna watch this gif.

lol, exactly. What I saw his post I was like...uh WAIT WHAT. hahaha.

ayyyyy lmao

[jmiddleton96]

What a physique. Top 5 for me

Lol at those guys earlier who said he wouldn't be in shape for Olympia

[Loctus]

I hope the only thing the new pay-money-bump for 1st place changes for next years show is that Ramy finally puts down his ****ing spoon.

[JigPig]

Funny. I had phil winning because no Kai

[lee4]

I thought he did very well. He's climbing quickly and getting more notice. I'm sure if he brings it again next year, they might reward him properly.

I had Bonac ahead of Ramy. However, I also had Winklaar and even Branch ahead of Ramy, too. Roelly did really well and I thought he got a slight snub. Branch should be easy to beat, if Ramy just showed up in respectable condition, but I think Ramy had the worst condition of anyone in the top ten, maybe even top fifteen.

[atris23]

You have to admire Ramy's size and proportions, especially when the top 10 were all lined up. That being said, I was disappointed and I really hope he can improve his conditioning, although he did look better tonight. But man he is big lol.

I think Phil deserved this one, but it still feels weird having your Mr. Olympia be the smallest of the top 5. Nothing was like Jay and Ronnie going at it for years in their prime.

[BrutasMaximus]

Another thing that is interesting is that after pre judging nobody had Phil winning. So does everyone just hate Phil or what?

Aceto had Rhoden
Nichols had Wolf
Cormier did not have Phil winning
Pakulski did not have Phil winning
Palumbo did not have Phil winning

So is there a hidden agenda against Phil because the above is concerning that nobody of 5 people had Heath winning yet the panel of 6 judges had him all winning.

Something does not add up here.

[Gorky88]

LMFAO best Meme of this section coming in

[Devils]

Bonac did great, it really shows what a difference between pre and finals can make, dude jumped up a whole placing for coming in on point.

Phil is bigger than Dex and comparably as big as Rhoden, although shorter but with a more complete back. Wolf was amazing and massive, but will forever be incomplete. His best shot for an O will require him being completely ON and the others on top being off. Ramy was massive, but incomplete and out of shape.

Phil and Dex were the only two complete guys on that stage, and Phil was just a little better.
