[danielmoo]

For any and all that still visit this section.. post them up!

1. Phil
2. Bonac
3. Ramy
4. Dexter
5. Curry
6. Roelly
7. Rhoden
8. Valliere
9. Kuclo
10. Cedric

[dingler]

Bonac over Ramy?
I’d swap Ramy and Bonac, unfortunately for Bonac he’s too short compared to Phil and Ramy, god tier muscle genetics though
Curry and Roelly
And Kuclo and Rhoden
I can’t figure out why but judges always seem to have a massive hard on for Kuclo

[BibFortunaBrah]

I predict Jason Genova will be a huge success at the Bodybuildingdotcomthemisc booth, promoting his yootoob celery status.

[bartosh]

1. Phil
2. Ramy
3. Roelly
4-6. Curry/Rhoden/Bonac
7-8. Dexter/deAsha

no specific order for 4-6 and 7-8

apparently phil is coming in smaller this year but more streamlined with a fixed gut. ramy, as always, is capable of beating phil but as always, he won't come in the right combination of conditioning/fullness. He's proven he can't but if he does it just once, it's his for the taking.

Rhoden was off last year but he's capable of beating bonac. Curry is as well with his improvements imo

Roelly placed ahead of bonac last time they competed and I think Roelly will come in on point, beating Bonac here.

- definitely curry over deasha
- first time dexter places out of the top 6 in a long time

- sergio olivia jr won't place

[keepitnatty]

1.phil
2.dexter
3.roelly
4.roaden
5. Ramy

Phil is coming 100% after hernia surgery. Dexter and roaden are bringing the same condition trained by psychofitness roelly bringing the freak factor and ramy is just big. I don’t like bonac too blocky

[ansatsuken]

1. Levrone
2. Kai
3. Cutler
4. Wheeler

[LoganBrown]

1. Phil, as always
2. Big Ramy
3. William Bonac
4. Roelly Winklaar
5. Brandon Curry
6. Dexter Jackson
7. Shawn Rhoden
8. Nathan DeAsha
9. Juan Morel
10. Cedric McMillan

Roelly could realistically take 3rd if he comes in on.. Recent pictures have shown a bubble gut though.

As always, Big Ramy could theoretically win, but we've been hyped over him for 5 years now. Nothing has really changed much.

Bonac WILL come in on his game as recent guest-posings have shown, so top 4 for sure.

Dexter isn't slipping so much as newer, younger guys catching their stride. His bicep is an issue, but other than that he'll be Dexter, just a lower placing Dexter.

Brandon Curry could shock everyone since his visit to Kuwait... Dude looks like a whole new person.

Realistically, placings 8-10 are all interchangeable. Olympia is looking pretty stacked this year.

[danielmoo]

Whoops.. meant to put Deasha in 8th, didn't have him on there at all.

Great picks everyone - we will see!

[RiverNader]

1. Phil
2. Rammy
3. Bonac
4. Curry
5. Roelly

Excited to see a more conditioned Phil this year and I think his proportions are spot on and he will have no problem holding onto the Olympia title. Roelly would have placed higher but it seems in recent videos at least he is once again having trouble with his gut. I could see either Bonac or Curry in 3rd or 4th place, Curry seems to be extremely well conditioned with probably the best taper on stage this year.

I saw that Roelly video with the distended stomach too.. shame, because his Arnold Australia showing was great.

2.Ramy
4.Dexter
5. Roelly (If his stomach is under control I have him as high as 3rd)
6.Brandon Curry

[pureBrutality]

I'm tired of Phil, its going on 8 years. He is a great BB, but what has he done for the sport as an ambassador. Especially after last year with the gut, and going on social media talking trash. Bring in some new blood. He can tie Arnold with 7, yes he was great. But he is no Ronnie or Lee Haney.

[ZBlacktt]

Roelly going for some Ramy quads.

Open
1. Phil Heath
2. William Bonac
3. Big Ramy

212
1. Flex Lewis
2. Ahmad Ashkanani
3. Zane Watson

CP:
1. Chris Bumstead
2. Breon Ansley
3. Regan Grimes

Open and 212 will pretty much be the same as last year. CP will be the most fun to watch because of so many different "looks".

Interesting how you think Zane Watson will be in the top 3. I don’t think he’l even be top 10

You can be tired all you want, but we will see the best Phil this year ever. He is coming smaller than ever but his conditioning will be another level.

Did you see his gut last year? The industry is hurting also, new champ 2018.

[BibFortunaBrah]

It’s going to be a sickening, pissening, absolutely retarded competition.

[euro7muscle]

It's a reach for sure but I like his look.

212 is pretty stacked with good competition (after Flex) making it harder to predict. Chris Aceto said that Jose is bringing one of his best packages ever this year so that will be interesting to watch.

[LimitBreak]

It's time for a change, if O2 played their cards right:

1 Big Ramy
2 Phil Heath
3 Bonac
4 Rolley
5 Dexter
6 Rohden

Btw I'm still debating to attend or not, and if I end up attending I'll try to live stream the press Conference if they let me, otherwise I'll take a great video of the press Conference and upload it to YouTube

2. Jay
3. Dexter
4. Badell
5. Wolf
6. Branch

[stealth_swimmer]

If Bonac and Roelly are both in top shape, and Ramy is off, i think they will beat Ramy. Ramy is probably at the point where him not being conditioned is going to cost him. So Ramy is a wild-card here.

I think Phil will win again as long as he's in shape (and he's never not been), especially because his hernia is fixed. I think Dexter will still make top 5. If Bonac or Roelly are not ripped and full, freaky looking, then Dexter will beat them.

Bodybuilding is lifting heavy objects and putting them down. There are gyms everywhere and working out is already popular but most people don't want to be anywhere near Phil's size. What do you want him to do, open a bodybuilding academy in Zimbabwe or something?

Who gives a fuk about being an ambassador or whatever bullcrap that means. The Olympia is about who has the best physique on show day. Period.

It seems this year competitors are not playing the mass game. But at 1 day out Ramy states he is 310lbs. So if his conditioning is off he's going to slip quite a few places.

[I_hate_Training]

Ramy could get 3rd through 5th. As said at the press conference “I will show something you have never seen before”. That’s Ramys comment for 3yrs now.

1- Phil, don’t see him goofing up again
2- Bonac, he has beat Ramy and rare he is off
3- Nathan/Dex, either in shape can beat Ramy if he isn’t dialed in. Nathan looked amazing and if it carries over he can pass a still the same Ramy
4- Dex/Rowley/Ramy/Rohden, pick. They award the improvement and other then 305-ish on stage, has Ramy gotten better? Don’t think so, he has been the same for awhile. 2014-2015 was his best. Bigger is not improved. Leaving the door open for anyone who is inproved and Ramy is off/the same.

Not a fan of any 1 guy, but Ramy if pushed to 4th-5th would be great. Because then maybe a new group would get him to bring the weakness up and come in 280-ripped. Right now his quads overpower his calves, blocky waist, no real back detail next to Phil, Bonac, Dex, Rowley and Nathan. Bigger is not better and if he was 340+ off season he needs more than 16 weeks to be dialed.

[I_hate_Training]

It seems this year competitors are not playing the mass game. But at 1 day out Ramy states he is 310lbs. So if his conditioning is off he's going to slip quite a few places.

And according to history it will be. Even if he drops to 295 and then carbs up. He is going to be around 300-305 on stage. But did he fix hos issues? No, the pictures up to now show that.
