Hopefully the dumb asses that run the show recognize the growing popularity of Classic Physique above all other divisions and put the money there.

I’m sorry these names in the Olympia just do nothing for me. Just not like the old days when you knew these guys and it was cool. Now they seem like nothing more than social media whores with weird ass names.

I agree. I don't think he'll go lower than 5th especially with Nick out now.

You got to knock out the champ to win.

Does Lumps have the 'whole package'?

Will he 'dial it in'?

Has he paid his dues?

Only time will tell.

Good order. Clearly you know your muscle men men in Thongs.

I had them pushing out the older faces like Curry and Bonac too. Only thing that might save Curry is that as a former Mr O they might still be inclined to place him top 6.

And how did we know the guys? It was from the magazines. With MD gone, there are no muscle publications left.

Thanks to YouTube (a virtual time machine), you can see so much footage of Arnold Schwarzenegger that you almost forget he retired nearly 45 YEARS AGO. Similar thing goes for Ronnie Coleman. All those clips of him deadlifting and squatting 800 are well over 20 YEARS OLD.

When you have to rely solely on the internet/social media, too many fans simply go online to look at bodybuilders from their perceived "Golden Era". I engage in this practice as much as anyone, when it comes to reliving the late 80s and early 90s (especially the WBF).

With the magazines, you had a captive audience; so introducing new stars and getting familiar with them was much easier.

Now, it's just go back to your favorite decade: 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, or 2010s. Just hit YouTube and reminisce.

If Lumpsford comes in decent shape, he will win.

Of course, if they give him the title out of shape, he'll get it if he's in decent shape too. After all, that's a clear improvement

His legs are too subpar to win the Olympia.

This.   

If CBum loses the tittle that will be the highlight of the weekend, nobody will give a flying F who wins the open Olympia.

Derek
Hadi
Samson
Andrew
Brando
Curry

I think that's probably the top 6 with Fitzwater and Hunter in the mix as well.

I'll go with:

Hadi
Lumpsford
Andrew
Sampson
Hunter
Curry
Brando
Fitzwater

Thanks - that's my thinking

I might even swap Sampson and Jacked based on how they show up.  Coach might have some inside info on Curry by the sound of it but let's see

Now all I need to do is find a stream LOL

he won it with sub par legs before, but I agree, hes done, he should retire and spend some time with his kids(5 I think) before its too late

Agreed. Probably top 10 because he’s a former Mr. O.

im with you man, really wish Bumstead could pack on about another 15lbs and step up on stage against them just to put the judges in a hell of a predicament by having to decide between the bloat belly’s and a popular aesthetically pleasing champion.
