Horrible camera work in this last comparison between Ced, Juan & Ramy.
Title: Re: AC Brazil Feed
Post by: Bosch on May 30, 2015, 02:13:26 PM
Watched for a few minutes.
I like Cedric the most, he has best flow - long legs, height, no weak body parts (maybe calves), great side thigh, no gut.
Ramy is the biggest, but all of a sudden he disappears in comparisons with Cedric and Juan Morel. Height does matter.

Worst camera work and lighting ever. Couldnt even see the top 3 being compared because they kept zooming on one guys calves and ankles in every pose. WTF  ???  I think it will come down to Ramy and Cedric for 1st/2nd, and JM 3rd.

They need to fix the lights before the night show....one guy looks like he has a spotlight on him while the guy next to him is literally in the dark. It cant be that difficult to figure out.

Why would he be mad? The BDB is the only pose which is remotely close between him and Ramy, in every other pose he gets outclassed it's not even funny.

I can't say WHY he would be mad... I just said he LOOKED mad as hell...   If you would like me to query a guess I would say that possibly Cedric felt he should win... I can only guess that would be the reason one would be mad when handed a second place trophy.. OR maybe he was simply mad that he looked out in the stands and his father once again failed to show up... Maybe he was not mad at all and simply has resting dick face... Honestly - you've stumped me man... I admit it - I have no clue

Except in the leg dept. if Cedric would have opened his lats up in this shot he would have been right up there with Ramy. Instead he squeezed too much making him look narrower. Bodybuilding is an illusion for the most part. You need to know how to pose to your advantage. This pose and side chest poses don't show the full potential in those particular poses. Need to learn to open up.
Title: Re: Arnold Classic Brazil
Post by: Royal Lion on May 30, 2015, 08:39:13 PM
Ramy played his cards right; he had the sheer size for an easy win despite not coming in his most peeled.  I have to think he and Farah did this by design and are planning his true peak for the Mr. O.  If he comes in 5% more conditioned I don't see how he doesn't surpass Phil and Kai.  As good as they are, Ramy has that freaky super human cartoon character look that we haven't seen since Dorian and Ronnie.  

Ramy's FLS is second none.  It's got to be up there be with the best ever.

In that second pic, he looks big, but not a vein or striation is really to be seen. I suspect, as you stated, that they may not have pushed the envelope for him to come in completely peeled.

This back pic reminded me of a couple I have seen of DY.  Ramy doesn't yet have the back thickness of Yates or Ronnie (who does?), but his back is much improved and I think it will stack up well against Phil if he nails his conditioning.

take a look at that back pic. Take a look at Ced's lines vs Ramy's. Cedric has lines similar to Flex, Melvin Anthony, and Jojo---some of the most aesthetic bbers of all time. And Flex is known as the Sultan of Symmetry. Ramy looks blocky compared to Cedric. Take a look at the conditioning of Cedric's back pose to Ramy. Cedric is more conditioned. Look at the Side tricep pose of both--Ramy's arms are conditioned, not much else. The split between quads and hams is not as prominent as Cedric's, and Cedric's intercostals/serratus are more prominent and conditioned.

Also on back pose, Cedric is far more detailed. And in the back lat spread Ramy is wide, but again his Rhomboids lack the thickness and detail of Cedric.

Ramy beats Cedric in size, but not shape, detail, conditioning or muscle thickness.

Cedric is a couple % dryer and nothing else, your preference is for black bodybuilders in the flex mould, so you see everything from a bias point of view

yep, the flex wheeler-sque shape I am a fan of. But, he could never really dial it in. I also think that had he won in 93 or maybe 98, Bbing wouldn't  have the issues it has now. But, at the same time, it would have been bad to Flex.
I also don't believe hype. When people start to hype a bodybuilder as the second coming and he has yet to really prove it---he may have the tools, but until they truly prove it, I don't believe it.

That being said, look at that back pic. Cedric's detail from top to bottom is better than Ramy's. Cedric's back muscles are more prominent and thicker, even though Ramy is bigger.

Ramy has the problem that plagues most "mass monsters"---from Dillett to Ramy today, that thickness detail from the back and full on conditioning.

Ramy is a touch smooth from the back, his back is improving with each showing tho... He kills it from the front.

cedric's abs doesn't look good.. his body flows well but nothing compared to flex wheeler as some ppl say.. shawn roden is much better..

ramy is the clear winner here.. but i feel his genetics will not enable him to reach dorian's level of condition..

I wish they would stop wearing those thongs that show so much of the glutes. Not a muscle I care to see on men. Yet this body part is partly used to determine 'conditioning'. Cover up the glutes and to heck with the schmoes out there. I don't like to see lumps and bumps and injection sites, etc. Things went downhill when Ronnie started pulling his trunks up his crack. He has really long glutes that don't look good, either. Definitely no homo here.

take a look at that back pic. Take a look at Ced's lines vs Ramy's. Cedric has lines similar to Flex, Melvin Anthony, and Jojo---some of the most aesthetic bbers of all time. And Flex is known as the Sultan of Symmetry. Ramy looks blocky compared to Cedric. Take a look at the conditioning of Cedric's back pose to Ramy. Cedric is more conditioned. Look at the Side tricep pose of both--Ramy's arms are conditioned, not much else. The split between quads and hams is not as prominent as Cedric's, and Cedric's intercostals/serratus are more prominent and conditioned.

Also on back pose, Cedric is far more detailed. And in the back lat spread Ramy is wide, but again his Rhomboids lack the thickness and detail of Cedric.

Ramy beats Cedric in size, but not shape, detail, conditioning or muscle thickness.

Parkers hunger for negro semen turned him from delusional to clinically insane lol

Cedric has the physique I would most like to have out of the current pro's - purely down to his height which gives him more an Arnold-esque look.

However, Ramy is clearly superior as a BB. Only way Cedric can match him is if he really ups the dose, something I don't think he's willing to do.

I don't think Ramy can win the Olympia yet for various reasons.
Though it's not totally impossible - he would need to be the most conditioned athlete onstage,
close to death type of coditioning. That's the only way, be clearly better conditioned than Phil and Kai, then maybe.

Exactly - all the people bashing Ramy need to realize that he didn't come in at 100% for this show and it was most likely planned that way. He's not going to come in peeled 3 months before the Mr.O, rebound, and then try to peak again.  If he's good enough to dominate a competitive lineup here at 85%, he is surely a threat for the title at 100%.

Pic anyone of the 90's top guys and he will destroy Ramy and Cedric!
I am a big fan of cedric I think he has the structure and the lines but he never could make it in terms of condition  :-\

Ramy is the biggest, but all of a sudden he disappears in comparisons with Cedric and Juan Morel. Height does matter.

Can't believe this comment just got a pass. GetBig is getting soft. Ramy "disappears" next to Cedric and Juan?

Ramy is 5'10". Taller than multiple O winner Jay Cutler.
