Title: RAMY - great shape and Posing at the AC2015!
Post by: affeman on September 28, 2015, 08:55:24 AM
That's surprisingly the best classic Posing routine I've seen in the pro ranks in a long time. Also his shape was not bad at the AC, should have beaten Wolf and Rhoden and came in 2nd behind Dexter.

I agree. I thought he did a great job.  The music was good.  He really drew the audience in and he seemed very focused.

This is much better than clomping around the stage and screaming at the audience like a lunatic.  I know people talk about intensity but that was ridiculous.

If the other guys get worse; and Ramy improves...

Ramy could place higher in Prague (this weekend)

and possibly win in Finland (in 2 weeks)

Very good, nice to see some nice slow classical poses with dramatic music. Lighting was horrible in the video, hard to tell if he should of placed higher than fourth.

Yes.

But Ramy was so smooth at the Olympia that it would be a big turn around for him if he can win one of these smaller shows. He was probably 20lbs too heavy in Vegas

Chris Aceto said that the lighting was good; in person

But, he said that the lighting looked bad in pics and on video

What can I say.. Easily the best. He and Wolf are the only bodybuilders I have some respect for

^That's how you present a physique without making a fool of yourself

No stupid faces, no stripper shit, no towels... Love it! Music was suiting, something grande for a big physique.

Only Wolf and Ramy did respectable posing, slow poses to powerful dramatic music.

The rest just hopped around to DMX and whatnot. Hand to the ear, lots of shouting and grimacing and popping and locking.

I like dancing and like you're alive onstage. I hate the asking for applause and now screaming at the audience is right with it. At the olympia prejudging Phil clomped around the stage and screamed angrily at the crowd. It was very uncomfortable to watch. I wasn't sure if he was having a meltdown or what

those quads are so big they are almost too big. could use some more calves and hams to balance it out.

other than that just needs to come in diced

Decent routine! And as large as he is, he could pull off the classical poses pretty well.

I'm really pulling for Ramy. I truly believe he could be one of the best ever. He has superior shape and proportions. And all the size he needs. Could have easily competed with the best in the '80s to mid '90s. If he just brings those legs down a little, concentrates on progressively getting more refined, and keeps his waist as small as possible, he will kill it. I really hope he reaches the vast potential he's capable of.

Not almost. They are too big. He shouldn't enlarge his calves and hams, he should reduce those thighs.

That is how they judge bikini. I'm sure most of the judges are going by who they would most like to bang. I think that should be part of the men's criteria. Plus those scores would get thrown out. I do think they should get non bodybuilding people to judge to emphasize things like presentation and they should score the routine.

Like I said I was with some people who know bodybuilding way better than me and they all thought phil was getting murdered on stage. I thought he would win but they had Dexter and Shawn beating him. So I don't think they were any better than those ladies who were just going for Roelly because they thought he was hot

I didn't think he looked very good on Friday night. His tan looked off and he lost me with the screaming like a lunatic. I thought Shawn was better because he looked like his body parts went together. Phils arms seemway too big for the rest of him.

He looked  better on Saturday....I think he has
More go round in him. It will be interesting to see if he can nail his conditioning. Knowing how those things work it could be really challenging. The body does what it wants after a while no matter how much chemicals are pumped in

No but include women who aren't necessarily from the bodybuilding world.

This would improve presentation and the routines dramatically. Why shouldn't charisma be judged. I'm tired of being bored out of my mind watching people March around the stage growling and shouting at the crowd. Back in the day guys like flex, Shawn, and Vince Taylor knew how to keep the people's attention .

The funniest people at bodybuilding shows are these women who start cat calling and it's usually older women.

He needs to work on density. He would be unbeatable if it wasn't for the bloat soft shape of his muscles. Yates and Coleman had density and interestingly they both trained heavy.  I don't know if the Chinese drugs are responsible for the physiques they have in the Olympia today.  Dexter had the most density for the Olympia and that's why I placed him first over Heath.

That's the effects of taking massive amount of drugs right from the start and ballooning in 5 years.  He never even developed a solid base.  Went from scrawny to monster in a few years.

I think that's a big part of it but it's also the way most of these guys train. Their training is lackluster to put it mildly. I've seen a couple training vids out of curiosity and its mindboggling that they look halfway decent. Horrible range of motion and sloppy reps.  I watched a jay cutler video on YouTube for 5 minutes  and turned it off. Horrible.
