could bring up his back, he would definitely win. However, I suspect, that his subpar back will be his downfall. :'( :'( :'(

Chris Bumstead's subpar back didn't prevent him from beating Pierre Ano...
-
There's nothing wrong with Rhodes back. Phill just has thicker back. Phils gut destroys his physique.

Phil should not win just because he has a good back, and loses in everyother pose to Shawn.

This ^.

Phil Rhoden and Shawn Heath. Iron warriors.

Yeah, but that is not the mens open. Seems like they have different standards or some crap. ??? ???

True, there is nothing wrong with Rhodens back, however, Phils back is thicker (as you stated) and I believe, is more defined.
Nonetheless, Rhoden has a more complete package.

As they should. It's CLASSIC.
-

Agreed 100%.
They always use the lame excuse that the Mr. O is "won from the back." It's such a trite comment to keep one person winning just because of one bodypart. I am not too sure why the back became the "end all, be all" of a show. Why the back and not the calves or the arms? Strange.
These are the questions that even the greatest minds continue to ponder.
-

So in the open the back is important and in the classic not?
-
In the pics above... if you look at Phil’s front double bicep, you will notice that he tore is left pec. Look at the pec/delt tie-in.
-

That makes no sense. So back development is more important in the mens open, when compared to the classic division? ??? ???
There may be individual differences in standards between divisions, but the one standard should be a complete package, which is why Rhoden should win.
-

They just have inconsistent judging and place whoever they want as a winner.

Yes,it looks torn. He just kept it secret hoping it would go unnoticed...

Maybe it's because that's what the "judges" prefer? Either that or judges are without merit and honor. At this level, it's pretty much subjective unless it's painfully obvious someone's better. It's painfully obvious that Sleepy looks better than Phildo.
Little Flex Lewis probably looks a lot better too and that from any angle. I think he would deserve a victory over Phil. The size game is just that. There is little, if any, balance to Phil's physique. Rhoden is a bit better in that department and Lewis is (likely) better still.
-
Not just rhoden's back. His arms are pretty piss poor if he's going for the O
-
i cant stand phil, but the only think shawn has on him is abs, phil beats him everywhere else, if this is the two best bb's in the world, the sport has sunk to a all time low in quality. and ramy as always looks like a glazed donut, all his pics he posts going into a show are photo shopped
-
Heard Phil had surgery this year to fix his umbilical hernia. Phil beats Shawn in a rear double bicep (Shawn lacks arms compared to Phil). Shawn has Phil on symmetry but then again Shawn beats everyone on symmetry. At least for the pre-judging, Phil looks like he over dieted and lost his roundness and conditioning seems a bit off and lacks the leg separation of Shawn. Overall conditioning and if the finals were last night, Shawn wins. If Phil fills out and dials in his conditioning, Phil wins. A lot can happen in 24 hrs.

Never forget!

If we are going with a complete package, its clearly shawn. He has enough size for an IFBB pro, coupled with better conditioning and symmetry. He really has the more complete package. Everything flows better.
Phil is a mish mash of bodyparts. That should never be rewarded just based on size alone.

Anyone arguing that what Rhoden lacks from the back is worse than those front shots on Heath is just nuts.

That's what the judges (or others) always say about winning the Mr. O. ::) ::)
-
Better lines on Rodan/Eyeore than Phillippe Keith.
-
TEAM EEYORE!!!
-
And Heath's left arm is about 3" larger than his right.
If it's about mass, Heath loses to Roelly. If it's about shape, he loses to Rhoden. So....the argument must be that he is a combination of both? Not with zero flow to that physique. Dumb.
-
Rhoden backed up his talk!
-
I really hope Rhoden maintains or even betters his condition to put the final nail in Phil’s coffin. I worry that no matter what, the powers to be will make sure Phil wins despite the absolute demise of the contest with him as champ. It’s one thing if he’s in shape and deserves it, but he should not get “gifts” multiple years. I’m sure he’s been hitting the Lasix hard in the last 18 hours, but that’s not going to help his structural flaws. Will be interesting to see how it shakes out.

Hey, man, don’t worry too much about it.
But, getbig is here for you, to help you control your worrying.

Gonna laugh my ass off if Phil loses after making those comments at the press conference. Shawn looks amazing. I hope he wins, I want to see Heath's face

Thanks for the support, lol.

Iherb is back up and showing the prejudging with no glitches. Roelly looks ridiculous for 2nd or 3rd

That's because its recorded, not being live streamed.
The recorded version will have no problem playing. Its the live stream that will be screwed.

Nah, it’s about 1.53 inches larger. It’s always been like that. One bicep is more cut and slightly bigger than the other
-

I realize that.
-
I realize that.
At this point, I could watch the prejudging on Youtube, so it doesn't matter.
The question is, will it work tonight for the finals?!?!?
-
As usual, Phil will come back better tonight. Gut will probably be tighter as well. Rhode more than likely will have faded and thus 8x Mr. O Phil. This has been the usual narrative.
Hopefully, we'll see something different.
-
Not just rhoden's back. His arms are pretty piss poor if he's going for the O
No,his arms are in a good proportion to the rest of him and they are symmetrical(left matches right). Unlike Phil who's left arm has the size of his entire torso.
-
phil couldn't get rid of the belly button penoris from last year :o

Never forget!

Phil makes Dorian look pretty in that shot.

The problem with Phil is that he has progressively gotten worse, and since he only competed once a year, he has no real gauge now. Before, he used to come in tighter at a contest, and then come in better. Now, with no one to really push him, along with having a gut, he and Hany use the prejudging as a gauge to see what they can fix later on.
-
good luck to Shawn
IFBB is semi popular contest and maybe phil is offically done

Phil is a mish mash of bodyparts. That should never be rewarded just based on size alone.
As judge Bev Francis(Weinberger's wife) said in a video from the 1992 Olympia,it's about how you are put together. You may have wonderful body parts,but if you don't flow you may loose to someone who doesn't have outstanding body parts but is better put together.
-
the judges always say "gotta see in person" with really close top guys
-
Nah, it’s about 1.53 inches larger. It’s always been like that. One bicep is more cut and slightly bigger than the other
Not slightly, you can spot it from miles away.

Looks like he is confident that the judges will Gift him another one.
-

Nah. It ain’t that bad. That one pic that keeps getting posted, his right tricep is shaded by the dark background. Again, both arms have always been like that. It’s not some new revelation.
-
Phil Heath in 2018 = Branch Warren until he retired. Keeps winning because the judges have made a democratic and unified decision that he's the champion and that is that.

TEAM EEYORE!!!
:D

Agreed, everything flows better, small waist, wide shoulders, etc. Phil looks bad in the double-bicep poses, like Spongebob w/ anchor arms.
Glad Rhoden won anyways, needed a change for the better.
