Title: 2014 Olympia - Was this year Kai's best conditioning?
Post by: Competitor 9 on September 23, 2014, 02:32:05 AM: After hearing some people say that this year was Kai's best I wanted to take a look at his condition throughout the years, while he looked good i don't see it being close to his best.. the question is can he get back in to his old shape?
Pics below are from what i think was his best conditioning in 07,08,09,2012, 2013 and this year

09 at the arnold he looked great, He even looked better a week later at the Aussie pro but i couldn't find a similar pic of that pose from the Aussie pro. It has to be that show or the 08 NYP he looked insane. 90's level conditioning

I think people are in general agreement:

#1 Kai should have won.
#2 Ramy should have been top 4 (arguably even second).
#3 Branch was better than in the past.
