Didn't know Hadi Choopan had a hearing aide.

Roelly's face looks sunken in, hope it translates to his physique

Curry looks worried, doesn't look so big around other bodybuilders. Dex looks small, but I still think this will be his going away present.

Bonac should win this

Bonac looks 3D even in clothes, he may be the one to beat.

the size is impressive but the gut ruins the overall impression. same as Heath last year



and he looks kind of smooth. Too much insulin I guess  ???

Hadi looks better than everyone.

Bob C still doesn't know how to dress.

The gum chewing guy next to Bob C needs to learn how to appear in public.

All in all a second class operation...

These folks are contenders. It is a stretch to refer to them as athletes. Athletes are people who go to the gym to improve their performance.

No being a smart ass, but this line up is what you would expect to be fighting for 4th place in any other Mr Olympia.  Other than Dex, there is no star power here.

Completely agree with this post. There is nothing athletic about BB. You CAN be athletic and be a BB but having athletic ability is definitely not required.

Patrick Moore

He's a contender this year for sure, Patrick has an amazing FDB. I'd like to see him and Hadi do well.

most of these "athletes" seem to be here for the hotdog expo going by their conditioning.

gone are the 90s when in the arrival room everybody's skin looked peeled and ready for the stage already.
Title: Re: First look at Olympia athletes - Athletes Check In
Post by: LanceD on September 12, 2019, 02:09:32 PM
so it looks like Hadi is thinking - should've done the 212.

Dex - I have said he will win in every post - his going away present.

Curry - either 2 place or worse, depending on condition. He should have stopped doing videos and surprised us. He has been pre-judged and now has to live up to the videos.

Bonac - somewhere 3-5, depending on Curry's condition.

Roelly - his face is tight, do his legs and back have the details? If not he is looking at 3rd.

Lockett - not a fan of his physique.  maybe 5th.

Sandoe - ugly physique, 4 - 9. Depending on condition.

Cedric, Kulco, and the rest - don't really matter this time.

Really - You’re all showing how little you know about contest prep
At any level - Let alone at Mr Olympia Level.
Are you not aware how much a physique can change In 24hrs ??  
Factor in diuretics / carbs / insulin / and a few other bits &
Things some of the more enlightened/ advanced of them will be
Doing & they’ll Look Very Very Different on stage,
Especially if they Time it Right.

From that clip - Hadi & Roelly look tight & Low body fat
Patrick Moore & Luke Sandoe Could Both Be Placing Well.
Couldn’t see ouwt of Bonac or Dexter.
Hopefully it will be well judged and the best physique
Will Win.

2 things for sure a New Mr Olympia will be in both open & 212s.

“Athletes” is the wrong term, so let’s all agree on “warriors”

Strydom like to use the term “soldiers”. He used that term at least twice here..

Bonac will win this.

If he Is Dry & Tight with a Smaller waist than last Year
Then Quite Possibly - He has No Weak Body Parts.
Hadi in Similar Condition to his Toronto Win should be
Right up in Top 3/4.

Top 4 in no order - Provided they are in Shape
Bonac
Hadi
Roelly
Curry
5th Place
Luke / Moore / dex

Soldiers in the sense that they are lined up and given directions? I can see that.
