Author Topic: 2018 Olympia - Looks like Sarcev and Aceto have Shawn Rhoden winning (Read 7312 times)

I didn’t watch the show. I just checked RXmuscle, expecting to hear about Heath vs Ramy. But apparently Rhoden is the winner (according to Milos Sarcev and Chris Aceto)

Here’s another comparison. Phil’s midsection is way too big again this year and it makes him look even more narrow. Whereas Rhoden looks streamlined, full, and more conditioned than Phil. We all know the outcome is predetermined for Phil to win (I hope I am wrong), but I think Rhoden wins in more poses.

And kudos to Roelly for making the top 4. He looks to be his best ever and in contention for top 3. Big Ramy not in the top 4 - too bad considering all the hype.

From those shots I have Roden winning as well, Phil has more muscle than Roden but his structure and shape is well off Rodens. More than how much he loses in just mass or in the back poses.

Roden should win, but I have been around bodybuilding long enough to know he won't, but he should and I had Heath winning.

Rhoden from the front, but he is weak from the back, so we'll see what the judges do. I still think they'll give it to Heath. Rhoden looks really good. I wouldn't complain if he won.

Aceto is Rhoden's coach, of course he has him winning.

Right. I just saw photos from the show. I think that Heath will win for sure.

If you're going to beat the champ, you have to beat the champ decisively. No challenger has ever won, when it's "really close". As much as I hate to see Cheath win another one, he will win. $:-\$

What about Dexter, curry, deasha, Sergio jr? How did these guys look?

I think Roelly looks better than heath. Rhoden as well. Even Ramy for that matter.

from what litle I've seen
I think 2 or 3 have Phil beat - Now if any are given the verdict by the judges is a different matter.

Please Please please Not Narrow Bubble Gut No Abs Heath Again.

Heath's gut and waist are worst than ever. Just look at them!
He has a fucking 2 pack.
It's like his linea alba, the fascia that separates the abs in the rectus abdominus is not there anymore. I don't know how this happens.

Look at Heath's gut. No different than last year.

And they're gonna let that tie Haney and Ronnie?

fook me. seems like the excuse he made last year of the shitty mid-section being due to needing surgery was bs

iHerb really fucked up the stream. They won't be getting any customers.

Does Rhoden have any triceps...he has the sharpest legs, thats it. You won't win without a back and tris. Phil, terrible abs, still looks like some kind of hernia. Looks as expected, yawn. Dex, is ancient history.
Maybe Winkler will look sharper this evening. Disappointing field.

Phil’s distension was terrible again this year. Ronnie and Dorian had the structure, size, and width to get away with it, but Phil doesn’t. Shawn is the clear winner this year. But we all know they’ll give it to Phil no matter what. Imagine what a sore loser Phil would be if he lost.

All downhill now.... noway phil could improve ...palumboism has set in

Explorerspl · « **Reply #21 on:** September 15, 2018, 07:48:08 AM »

I'd have Rhoden winning,but his lack of arms and back makes me dislike him.

Personally (not how placings should really go

Rhoden (1/2)
Roelly(1/2)
Phil(3)
Curry(4)
Bonac (5)

I think if curry brought in some better quads and MUCH better hamstrings he should be the next Mr. O

Giving Heath #8 is literally stabbing Ronnie and Lee in the back.

He wouldn't even make the top 10 with that physique in Haney's day.
