I've been a fan and follower of the IFBB for 30 years now and after watching this year's Olympia I think its time to stop......
The IFBB has completely lost its way. All the true bodybuilding values have gone. Its just about politics now and promoting their favourite puppets. No way Heath won and no way he is worthy of being a 4 time Mr Olympia. There are no personalities and its just like a re-run each year. With all the drugs these day most of the top guys can't hold their conditioning so by the time the free posing comes along, they are all smooth and look like shit.
IFBB - Take a look at the line ups of the past, particularly the early and mid '90's and maybe consider saving the sport before its too late. I am seeing Arnold in November when he comes to the Uk and I will be giving him my opinion (and the opinion of most fans it seems!)

Emergency IFBB meeting this week to consider your threat.
-
Couldn't you make this politics argument since the days of Arnold?
-
I dont think the OPEE fully comprehends that no one gives a fuck.
-
At least the 212 were better judged.
-
Does Ron know about this?
-
Saw this on CNN just now.
-
It's a conspiracy. Who does Ifbb dislike? gh15. Who does gh15 dislike? Generation nothingness filt.
Therefore ifbb makes Philsuline mr Olympia.
-
Yes branch warren should have been mr Olympia

x2. Nothing new here. Bodybuilding has not changed, but you have. Congratulations Trev. You have grown up. :)
But after 30 years of muscle addiction are you really going to quit now? I doubt it. :-\

Has changed - No one can say the top 10 was in the correct order. 212 class was better. I'll continue bodybuilding but I'll still to local NABBA shows in the Uk now. Ifbb is fucked up

None of the bodybuilders in the IFBB care about their own health. (Branch has been on huge doses for over 20 years)
How much less do they care about losing you as a fan/spectator?

I'm wondering which guys do you think should've beaten Phil in the last four years?
While not the greatest bber of all time, IMO, he's been the best of this current bunch.
-
So because it is split 50-50 on how should of won the Olympia (Phil Heath vs. Kai Greene) and you didn't get your way, the IFBB has lost its way. Um no... many who were there saw Phil win over Kai. Phil's back was incredible. And while this may not have been Phil at his best, Kai was thick, but started off slow (and then gained sharpness).

News flash, Dorian Yates won with one good arm in the 90s. Let me repeat that, one good arm.
-
Since phil now has 4 sandows.. beating jay. I am not recognizing the mr o as a real title anymore.
it is not even plausable to award him the highest title in the world with that 2014 package.
Standards have gone out the window!
-
THE MRO HAS NEVER BEEN FAIR ALWAYS SOME CONTRAVERSY.BREAK DOWN EACH WINNER ALL THERE WINS I'M SURE THEY WON SOME THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE,,

I love jay.
But lets be real.
Phils worst is better O is better than Jay's worst O.
Jays best is only a little bit better than Phils best (so far).

Well yes.. jays best is better than heaths best.
jays worst towards the end is worse than phils worst but the gap is closing this year. Jay never showed a gut like phils except for some rare pics.
I agree jay should have maybe two titles.
But jay is solid, big, proportioned and complete. He had conditioning issues and a blocky waist as his drawbacks. But he had a mr o type herculean physique for a long time.. I can see that they rewarded that.
Dont get me started on phil.

Get this man a smoked turkey leg.

Couldn't you make this politics argument since the days of Arnold?
Definitely.
But who really beat Arnold?
-
Mr.O 1982 Casey Viator was for me the winner, instead they placed him behind Dickerson and Zane
Mr.O 1980 Danny Padilla placed 10th, only overlooked ?
Mr.O 1981 Padilla placed 4th, he looked better than the winner Franco Columbu
Mr.O 1979 Mentzer vs. Zane
Mr.O 1980 Arnold the winner, one of the most controversial and debated competitions in bodybuilding history
Mr.O 1985 Beckles second at twice Haney’s age, he should have won
Mr.O 2002 Gunter Schlierkamp 5th must be a joke
Just a few, cant remember all of them and its just my opinion...dont crucify me.
Mr.O 2014 Phil Heath is not a champ and the way he acts multiplys the dislike
-
I always thought 1980 was a questionable win for Arnold. then I realized, Arnold only looked worse compared to his own best.
I don't see how the smaller Mentzer beat him with a flatter chest, worse arms and shoulder and and no better legs or at least not much better.
But Platz looked awesome in the movie.

You know what I think the letters "IFBB" stand for:
I Fuck Body Builders
;D ;D ;D
-
Happens every year, dudes bitching about the judges. Not saying there aren't legitimate gripes some years, but how can you possibly be surprised?
-
The problem is Kai is bigger than Phil, condition similar and neither structure is as good as greats past.
Haney outsized everyone in his day
Dorian at least outsized and out conditioned the competition
Ronnie outsized everyone and early on outsized and outconditioned Nasser
Phil doesn't
-
Mr.O 1985 Beckles second at twice Haney’s age, he should have won
What are you smoking ??? I've never heard anyone say that! Should they have factored in his age & given him points for that ? Beckles had great bicep peaks, that was it. Haney had great chest, back, much bigger with a smaller waist than Beckles & he beat him in every single pose, even front double bicep.
Besides, there was not proof of Beckles age, he didn't even know how old he was.

X2, except it was more like a 60/40 split for Phil.

Bertil, IMO, dominated the O in 83 and was shafted purely for political reasons. Worst i have seen:
Above comp
Jay beating Victor in 07
Ronnie beating Jay in 01

LMAO ' dominated '
Bertil looked great in a couple of poses , people talk about Heath being narrow? Here he is being dominated by a but who weighs 188lbs
-
Heath won, that is not in question. The question is how did anyone get allowed to win when they failed to look good.
-
Another lowlife of this was Freddy Smalls. The worst competitor ever on the Olympia stage.
His posing routine was horrific.

Not the case, its all politics now and the IFBB just want their Pretty Boy yes man puppet in the number one spot. The judging criteria has been getting lost for years and now the physiques are not judged properly at all. My result would see Shawn Rhoden up there so its nothing to do with the top 2 result this year its just the constant supporting of who takes the most drugs. Its bodybuilding not gut building - Most of the top 10 look like shit!
