Funny how many people are saying Shawn won't be ready for the Olympia? Really, at 19 weeks out, you can tell that?

I was told Phil was a no show in Pittsburgh. Very interesting.

Shawn looks particularly terrible.

Ask Tbombz. He thinks Shawn isnt training isn't as intense as Phils.
Fixed.
Tbombz might be right.
If shawn comes in shape at the same size as last year it will be a medical miracle.

Yeah - because we all know it takes 19 weeks to get huge again using drugs, lol. Try 4.

Yeah but that isnt a Oylmpia winning physique in said photo.
Watch the video. Every single one of those dudes are all in on great usage, Rhoden looks like a natty in comparison.

Judging by those pics, Coach would prolly smoke his ass on a comparison. For a MR. O, very poor look

Shawn’s Training. Not sure where people are getting this from.

Shawn’s Training. Not sure where people are getting this from.
I was comparing his offseason shape to those who were on stage with him.
I know you've worked out with him recently at Golds, but that aside he is noticeably smaller and less conditioned than those hes on stage with.

I was just saying that because in Dave Palumbo’s video he was saying that people were saying that Shawn wasn’t training. But I agree with the off-season season shape. I don’t discuss it with him but my guess is that he’s completely off gear until his prep starts and he loves to eat. But, he’ll come in shape

I don't understand why YouTube reporters are shocked - most people know that like Levrone, Shawn uses little (to no?) drugs in the off-season. I'm sure he will look great come Olympia time...

Just said basically the same thing on Trigili’s IG

You're disregarding the fact that Shawn is the defending Mr.O and Levrone and Ray never won the contest.
And the YT reporter was Dave "Jumbo" Plaumbo, The guy used a lot of drugs when he competed so i'm sure he was surprised.
Also let's not forgot everyone else on the stage is ON.
If this is Shawn's normal routine I guess it doesn't matter because this is what won him the O last year but if hes breaking from his normal prep you can see why people are surprised. I'll admit I dont know his previous off season practices.
If drug use doesn't matter why are all those guys on in the offseason, they should just follow Rhodens lead. Ronnie, Jay and Dorian never coasted during the off seasons during their reigns.
And for those who say it doesn't matter, which is 100% true as it only matters what they look like the day of the show, why even have guest posing? Why post about their off season anything at all? It's because we believe all this matters.

Couple of things. Everyone on that stage BUT Shawn has recently competed and knowing this event was coming up it made a hell of a lot easier to stay in decent shape. Shawn hasn’t competed since Olympia and by the looks of it, he’s completely off gear and probably for some time. It’s not like he’s been sitting around not training, etc. I know he traveled a shit ton this off-season both here and Europe and just got back from France less than 2 weeks ago. IMO, it doesn’t make sense to stay on gear, train consistently only when you’re home with more time, difficult to eat on while traveling (unless you’re prepping then you pack your food) It only counts the day of the show. I do agree he doesn’t eat all that well in the off-season that I can see. Freak genetics + Aceto = another win (maybe)

No one can beat Dexters genetics and he didn’t have anywhere near the schedule Shawn had.

Thanks for the well thought out answer.
And kudos to Rhoden, hes the number one guy in the sport so its obvious he knows what hes doing.
It's just different than what we're used to coming from the reigning champion, from at least Dorian on the Mr. O has spent the off season getting as big as they can (maybe this wasnt true for the year Dexter won but he was still bigger in the off season). So to see Rhoden look like an "average" gym rat (and I mean comparatively speaking) is a little shocking because its soooooo opposite of what we are accustomed to.
Dexter hasn’t
Dave said Dexter has an up coming show and that hes looking for career win #30.

Good point regarding defending his title but to be fair, he has always lost size in the off-season. Like you, I am not privy to what his protocols are either.
I watched Trigili's video and Nick Strength and Power's video. I saw Palumbo posted a video 11 hours ago but it runs over an hour, haven't got time to sit around and listen to that...
Slightly off-topic, but has Palumbo ever detailed his cycles - or at least hinted at what he might've taken? Unsure how honest he is, I'm sure this board will have some opinions. I don't tend to spend a lot of time reading/watching bodybuilding related stuff but am interested.
-
Listened to the Rx Palumbo and Aceto podcast on way to work this AM. Chris said he is concerned, but Rhoden always does this.
Will be interesting to see how he ends up at show time.

Looks like a krispy Kreme glazed donut

That’s an insult to donuts everywhere.

Nothing new. Bodybuilders coming off gear and getting small and smooth. The difference is that the doses are so high these days that there’s more of a disparity.

is phil coming back this year? kai would smoke rhoden. i always said he was lazy like cedric mcmillan. one year wonder, that's all folks.

Lots of Mr. Olympia’s posting in this thread.

Bodybuilding is about judging the body coach, he looks like hot garbage, it’s okay to say that because he does.
-
Rhoden can't do huge amounts of drugs for pro-longed periods, he has had issues already so he needs to take extended brakes and then hit it hard for 12-16 weeks max in the run up to the Olympia. Better that way than fry a kidney and not doing the show at all.

Bodybuilding is about judging the day of the show not 20 weeks out. I’m 2 weeks out and I don’t even know what the final result will be

Yeah but he still is on stage in posing trunks hitting bodybuilding poses.
If these guys dont want people commenting on what they look like 20 weeks out they can stay off the stage and keep their clothes on.
Shawn is the champ so he knows what hes doing. But compared to everyone else on stage and especially compared to his Olympia winning physique from a few months ago, he looks small and soft.
It's no different from commenting on a NFL draft prospects 40 time at the combine. Fast or slow the 40 doesn't mean much on the field if the dude cant play.
If Shawn wins his off season shape wont matter. If he loses everyone will refer to this video as the reason why.
Shawn is a pro and he knows what is what, the fans critiques shouldn't bother him.

Exactly .
people keep underestimating the power of drugs, if he was depending on a serious "balls to the wall" training or eating a clean diet he Still wouldn't crack the top 10..... but Get him on the right drugs and he'll be the man to beat in Sept.
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHh

What don't you guys get? Looking like that is part of the way you "look the part' at the Olympia. It's off season--what do you expect him to look like?
The difference between him and us is that in 4 months he'll look like he did a year ago at the Olympia. It doesn't look good now but it will then.
Example:

Phil's focused on the O like no one ever before. So much to the point he no longer even considers himself human. He is a machine,a bodybuilding machine. He's even started talking in a robotic voice like
"I.AM PHIL. I AM. A BODY. BUILDING MACHINE. I EXIST. TO WIN. THE MR OLYMPIA. "
A very inspirational man

Even at his fattest, most watery off season condition Jay, Ronnie, Dorian etc. all looked like bodybuilders!!! Shawn looks nothing like one never mind the best one in the world... take his cock out of your mouth for five minutes and grasp reality here son!!!!

Mike O'Hearn looks 100 x better than anyone in the current mr olympia line up, on or off season

As far as I know he's always in shape, and 6 ft 3, and behaves like a champ should

I agree.
If he shows up on a bodybuilding stage in posing trunks he should be expecting to be judged on his financial portfolio.
I mean come on hes on a bodybuilding building stage, why does it matter what he looks like. Clap and cheer.

he reminds me of a prime goodrum

Mike O'Hearn 'behaves like a champ'? This is news to me, I would've thought otherwise - this is the guy who tried selling 'anti-aging' frozen duck eggs for $700 (1 month supply) all whilst claiming lifetime natural...
-

Agreed. Very Goodrum-Like, but I think a better example would be Paul Dillet - wide shoulders, long and full arms, and overall long muscle bellies.
We joke about this a lot, but Goodrum is structurally very wide. Would be cool to see Melvin on a proper IFBB gear cycle.

Wow. Do you know what issues Rhoden has had?
Thank you for posting this. I was about to say that I don't fear for the health of Shawn. I'm glad you changed my view to the correct one.
