Easy win for Samson.

I'm not a fan of the manlet physique. But, I gotta give this one to Derrick.

Sampson looks like he is back on Milos' insulin protocol.

He has that thick skin that never gets super peeled like Phil or Kai .If he does not come back tonight sharper and Derek still holds on conditioning I would reward Derek.

German kid Mike that took last year 2nd place behind CBum will be most likely Olympia winner this year.
Vissers was visibly disappointed coming to defend ASC title and ending 5th.

Yes sir !!
I think he could do well in 212 if he outgrow classic weight restrictions as well he is about 5’6”.

Insane details in the side legs from Derek :o

Just from the above 2 pics Derek looks much improved from the Olympia.

Andrew has a lot of oil in his arms & delts only he forgot to
put any into his stick thin forearms ::) Dead give away.
-
Samson looks soft
Jacked shoulder width is outstanding
Derek doesnt look as good from the front, his front lat spread and most muscular look terrible
-
Samson isnt impressive at all
Look at the lack of separation in his arms in the front double
-
Samsons waist looks softer than a pillow, and any ab shot he does........nothing happens at all,except he looks bad.
Needs to still lose a bit of fat, and a lot of water IMO.

Is Derek the biggest little guy ever? Pretty crazy.

$500k is a great payday .Hadi would be in the too 3 mix if he was in Ohio.

It’s cool that Jock Willink (Jocko Fuel) is sponsoring Derek now. His supplement line is growing quick

Proteins are ok ,but his energy drinks taste bad.
Arnold’s son-in-law Chris Pratt is co-owner.

Yeah this lineup was stacked.

Sampson is pushing the size game to hard. Would look much better 20 lbs lighter.
Andrew made no real gains, just filled up with oil.
Happy to see Brandon fourth, if Andrew was marked down for the oil Brandon would be third.
Waiting for Sampsons social media meltdown.
-
Mr Olympia beaten
Gone are the dominant champions, all carbon copies of the same insulin GH bloated messes
-
I predict Samsons done, he was 306 onstrage and should have been 280-285
He cant get the condition thats expected these days, he wasnt "on" last year, he was still way softer than Hadi
His front double is totally under whelming

He got a gift at 2nd. Looked weeks off.

Well, beating Mr O, Samson, not that long after the O, who is so much taller and that big is something. There's a case for either one winning, lacking height is such a disadvantage but he did it. It seemed like Derek was sort of done after losing the O, forget about more Olympias. I was impressed with Derek just glancing at a video above, insane mass. Then again there is the fact he is so short, aesthetically it's not ideal.

For sure my friend.......X-Mas came early for him.

The sport has gone to shit.......it`s always been about chemical warfare to a degree, but todays guys all look alike which sux!!
A strictly rhetorical question but you know what I mean I`m sure.
How do you judge guys that look like they came off of an assembly line like cars. ;D

Those days are over.
Sam Sulek is future and he’ll beats Haney’s record .
Samson would be 3rd if Hadi has entered.Hadi is always in shape.

They don't all look alike Derek doesn't look anything like samson .
Its like saying Franco had the same physique as Arnold.
Well deserved win for Derek. beating current Mr Olympia,
Samson should drop some weight / mass - sort out his protruding
lower abs & get in good condition.
As for Andrew not that impress take away all the obvious oil &
he'd not be much to look at.
-
I don't think Samson was off whereas Derek was on. Ok, maybe he was slightly more bloated but we are talking pretty minute differences. They are all pretty bloated and we think they could all stand to lose 30lbs. But they are all constantly paranoid about being "full" enough, they are convinced that the judges require it and it does seem like the judges reward it. Even during prep they are constantly refilling when they go "flat," and I read somewhere Hany Rambod didn't take on clients who used ephedrine since it's a vasoconstrictor, they take all sorts of things to instead increase blood flow during training. Even the training is geared towards getting as big a pump as possible, Rambod's FST-7 training system or wtf it's called lol. I think this is all a bit silly from several angles but whatever... :D
But as said, quite an achievement on Derek's part and now everyone is thinking whether he can repeat at the O.

I agree,but let me put it this way.....if they were all the exact same height, rather short or tall,they would all look eerily similar.

It's because they are more symmetrical today :D
Lots of people have said the same as you. Back many decades ago someone was known for his arms, another for his legs, yet another was the ab guy. Now everything is big on everyone, even the abs are in proportion if you think about it :D
Symmetry is not the same as aesthetics though. It's a pet peeve of mine, like Bob Chic crying about the lack of symmetry on some guys :D

Nope, thats not true
Apart from Platz and his legs everyone was symetrical and well balanced
Remember the 83 Olympia when all the competitors appeared as a shillouette and you knew who everyone was
And back in the 80s it was hard to turn pro without decent calves

I remember it well.....if they did that today, you`d have no clue who was who because they all basically look the fucking same more or less.......aesthetics are a thing of the past sadly enough.

I don't think Pro level bodybuilding has advanced - in fact its regressed in some ways.
Maybe As I'm older I'm looking through rose tinted glasses , only I don't think so.

That is what we all wanted to look like back then.

Yup....most of us were naive of course,but it seemed much more attainable and more desirable than the "Michelin Man" look of todays guys.

Question for Ron or anyone who may know.
Is Bob Chick done with MCing shows or it was just this weekend he could not make it??

When I followed pro bb more closely I could tell who everyone was based on silhouette, in the 2000s :D
Since I'm ancient and was a fanatical bb fan, I remember like 30 years ago there was an interview in MM2K with a supposed anynomous pro, which was really just dreamed up bt TC Luoma, and there was a black silhoutte of a pro and people on the net were trying to guess who it was. I immediately saw it was a composite of two pros. It would be fun to revisit it, at least to me, see how many here saw who it was. BB could probably find it :D 8)

Arnold has said after the show he is taking her home because she reminds him that Mexican cleaning lady he used to bang.

Results make no sense according to Bhanks… Brian’s Mensa level understanding of BB dictates that a 306 lb man beats a lighter weight man non-negotiable. 😂

Wheelchair, bikini, fitness, figure, I bet next year there will be a transsexual category at the Arnold Classic.

Wow, thanks man. Anyone recognize the silhouette? I could be wrong but I think the lower body is one pro and the upper another.

I think it looks more like Tom Terwilliger. Biceps don't look like Clairmonte's.

Clairmonte always did his double bi shots like that
I cant find any of Tom doing it

1990 Arnold "winner"

If Hadi showed up would Weinberger dropped current Mr.Okympia to 3rd.?

Beautiful posing routine.....nobody today could do that !!
Shawn was the consummate bodybuilder.........alwa ys in shape.

For what it's worth, Clairmonte was the most guessed for the picture in 1996. Others thought it was a pastiche of his upper body and a different lower.

Yes that was my assumption, along with Aaron Baker's lower body. At the time I didn't look at what otthers were saying. I didn't have internet until about 2000.

I think that would be the outcome. Hadi is always in shape.
