Make no mistake he is gunning for the O with every intention of winning it.  You don't skip the Arnold when you are the favorite to win the Arnold unless you have your mind on a bigger prize.

Why can he win?

1. His income has quadrupled and money goes along way in bodybuilding

2.He did like 8 shows last year yet he still placed 3rd, with a whole year off?

3. Momentum, he jumped leaps last year and was the biggest rising star

4. He came in 3rd without even being as shredded as Phil or Kai, so just imagine if he nails his conditioning.

5. He has the best insertions in bodybuilding, he also has the smallest waist and joints in bodybuilding. He has insane separation.

6. Ronnie is in his corner, for those who think this counts for nothing, hahah lol.

2013 Olympia between Heath and Rhoden, sorry Kai, sorry Jay.

100% agreed.

Also I believe Rhoden will either win/get close 2nd or place far in the top8. Thing about Phil Heath that everyone seems to miss is that guy is CONSISTENT. Apart from the year with food poisoning (or whatever that was actually) he was always in shape and improved, year after year. Yet now, due to his obvious sctructural limitations I see no room for improvement.

Rhoden is no Wheeler like many people seem to believe, he has many flaws but there's no one better than him right now. Martinez was way more talented but he ruined it and it's over for him. Cutler? He's in the same league due to size but I don't think judges are gonna be as blind as they used to be this year.

No one else really stands a chance, everyone who thinks Kai has real chance to win anything more than yet another AC is delusional.

Bicep peaks are over rated, especially on stage, his front double as a pose is top 5 in the world anyway
c
biceps without peak or some kind of peak.... are never considered great biceps
yes he is top 5... but what is the level of top 5 now....
 :-\ .....

Eh, I dunno if I can agree on that count, Mes.  Kevin Levrone's biceps weren't peaked, but they were huge and very impressive IMO.

You could give Phil the MM and BDB but it doesn't change anything for me. But close it was.

Look here, sharp comparison images in the thread:

Thanks for breakdown and link.  I'm starting to see what y'all mean  :)

detracts from his FDB
plus the guys with peak bis always make the greatest arm lists...
I dont mean it has to be like albert beckles .... but some peak to it eg curry
