Looks microscopic there.

All machines and synthol, the Olympia is a joke and so is he.

I've seen bigger.

What the hell is that banner behind him supposed to mean? What's the message for the gym goer? Brutal.
Perhaps that Samson needs an exorcist?

KRIZO is in deep trouble.

Looks like he could pick Derek up over his head right off the stage at the Olympia during the posing round and toss him into the audience to be crowd surfed. Or pick Derek up off stage during posing like the way someone would carry a mannequin and put him upside down in a trash can so just his feet are sticking out.

He never looks impressive in videos, so this could be warped or altered in some way.

Haha something like that for sure. It's too vague to offend anyone.
There's an Anton LaVey quote that might be fun and fitting for a gym. You think this banner would be acceptable in a commercial gym in the US? I'm not American so you tell me, but I suspect some wouldn't be so amused and wouldn't see it as a joke :D

Well it's kinda clever, but I don't know. For gym purposes I'd keep it simple and motivational.

I'd like this one personally:
"You are nothing but a hunk of spoiling flesh on disintegrating bones with a head full of false imaginings. There is only fear, bitterness and depression before the end. To forget for just a brief moment, we must lift! Bodybuilding is the illusion!"
I'd like it because...

Brutal absolutely broootal. This triggers my usual thoughts. It's a all a big nothing. Every generation goes through the same exercises in futility. Grow up, enter the labor market, commit yourself to an enormous loan instead of living with your parents until they keel over, society tells us only "losers" live with their parents, huge fucking scam, then eventually your house is paid off, you live a few more miserable years with a bald head, a bad back, a shrunken cock, elongated scrotum, you piss 24 times a day and then you keel over
Big fucking nothing
-
It's a all a big nothing.
I don't claim to know what "it" is but it's easy to go into existential panic thinking rationally :D
For some reason it helps to know others also thought in the same vein, so I might read a few aphorisms by E.M. Cioran or whatever, and I think, "he too was here." :D
Elongated scrotum is the worst. I've actually joked that having done steroids helps here, you have raisin nuts and a shrunken skrotum :D

Then theyre fucking with the live video. Filters, aspect ratio, whatever the fuck these narcissists are doing.

They're permanently growing their stomachs, noses and crania. If unlucky also feet and hands. See Dave Palumbo for the end result.

They are athletes.

NW, you are correct.

Elite athletes.

Ah yeah, right, the souls of men. Of course.
Usual empty, lameass sentiment.
Imagine it just said "Just lift more tomorrow, you dumb c unt". Fuck that would be empowering. I could get behind that.

I doubt that.

Intersting that Lee Haney about same height as Samson with 50 lbs less than him looks better in the front double bicep
I think Samsons torso from the front, does not compare to any of the Olympian champs... huge but lacks that world class quality.
He does have better legs than most though
WoooooSSHHHHHHHHHHH

Leave Hankins out of this he's got enough troubles with law school.
Curious about the name YLLSHTH, where'd you come up with that, is it an anagram?

I think the opposite with some of them. I had a buddy in college who was probably as big as an NPC guy at least who was about 5’10 so it was kind of impressive. But I’ve seen some of these guys in person and they’re 5’6” give or take and it looks silly. I’m 6’4 and actually standing next to one, I was way less impressed seeing it in person. I’d imagine Ronnie in his prime would’ve been or Gunther maybe but the little guys just look silly.
-

True
I have only seen Nasser in ’97 Finnish BB expo before competition. Around my height (5’7”) with loose coveralls. Didn’t look like much. But when he moved his arms his shoulders were moving like tennis balls under that jacket!

He dominates from the side unreal thickness and separation in his legs there. He could walk on stage looking exactly like that and win. Easily.
So he will probably blow it somehow

they never seem to look anything like their build up pics these day by the time they get onstage.

Yes very true - I don't get why they post up these doctored pics looking real good
& then show up looking soft & watery !!
If they had any sense they'd post up some medicore pics before hand & then show up
Looking awesome, would be a far better impact for them.

Problem is the judges seem to put people were they think they should place based on previous shows and build up pics
You can pretty much call the top 5 every year before they even get to the show

A lot of the problems in bodybuilding is because of judging.
Blatant seo / oil usage, Bubble Guts, missing calves, etc etc they get rewarded by placing high
If not winning, when they should be marked down.
No doubt Andrew cinque-chew ( whatever the fuck his name is) the amazing walking oil bag will
place very well at the Olympia.
Yet I wouldn't place him at all.

I would put him dead last. It's ridiculous and on YouTube his fanboys fall to their knees foaming T the mouth in awe of his literal perfection. Makes me vomit in my mouth.

The pic of samsons leg is from a video it's not doctored at all. He looks very impressive. Getting on par with Dorian and Ronnie. And I am not bullshitting you.

His heart must be the size of a thanksgiving turkey
Hope I'm wrong

I think he got too big off-season he's either going to compete around 320 which would be a 20 pound jump over last year or he's going to lose a lot of muscle getting in shape. Supposedly he was 350 this off season.

no, his muscle fibres will be exactly the same, he will just be flat and depleted because hes a fucking water balloon, they all are these days, hes 50lb over what he should be
-
I do think he "overdieted" last year. A pre-comp guest posing was posted here and I was like damn he looks ready now and looks like he may be a little small, he needs to eat up. He didn't.
In 1993 Dorian shocked the bb community with his new size. Dorian said he didn't put a ton of muscle on actually. He just didn't diet as long as he realized he went too far the year before.
But Samson needs to be in tip top shape to win so he may panic and drop too much again. It's a balance.

Obvious injections for site enhancement like Lumpsford's giant boils on his lats should be DQ'd, in a perfect BBing world.

Some were arguing they were swollen lymph nodes due to I forget what :D But not SEO.
It was weird because you'd think they wouldn't use anything that might cause a reaction like that, for example a new untested product. It looked like a massive inflammatory or allergic reaction. Iris Kyle had those massive lumps on her ass. It was most likely new gear she had never used before.

I didnt have any shots full stop a week out from a show in case I ended up with a bad reaction which would show up onstage

Many pros and amateurs say they do that for that reason. Then a day out they shoot up their bodies with all kinds of crap :D
Some coach said all fitness chicks shoot up their asses.
Mediphorm is popular especially in the UK. It attracts water where it's injected. You familiar?

Not trying to be a besserwisser LOL but I seem to remember it was used as any anabolic in medicine, like in catabolic conditions. The swelling was an unwanted side effect. After it disappeared some touted Nolotil as a replacement which was a pain killer but I seem to remember it could be used in infants to swell up certain body parts to make surgery easier or something like that (could be mistaken here).
Some bodybuilders are really ignorant and I remember Flex Wheeler saying Esiclene "wasn't even a steroid." He said he had someone inject him all over before shows and it would make him pass out ???
A couple of years ago I saw Sas Heirati had weird looking rear delts at a show and thought he probably used Mediphorm.
Since I'm a drug nerd, I happened on a description of GH used experimentally in combination with hyaluronic acid (Mediphorm) in joints like for example knees for a local healing effect. The hyaluronic gel would keep the GH local for longer. I thought it was interesting. Bodybuilders use certain peptides like IGF-1 DES in body parts they hope to grow and perhaps mixing it with that gel could improve results :D
See the rear delts on Sas here:

In some situations "bodybuilding drugs" could be "healthy" though :D
"Growth hormone triggers early neovascularization, which is crucial in producing stem cells for cartilage regeneration and stimulates chondrocytes to synthesize type II collagen. Combination with hyaluronic acid (HA), with its large particle size, increases the GH effect duration in joints. Intra-articular GH injection has shown promising results in cartilage regeneration and repair in knee osteoarthritis, as stated in available preclinical studies, without systemic adverse effects."

Dude was pretty clever.
Sucks that his church did not bring him the monies he had hoped for.
-

I think drugs can be healthy and unhealthy at the same time. Like increased IGF-1 through GH in theory can age you faster and shorten lifespan but increased strength can be healthy and increase resistance to certain illnesses in other ways. Same with steroids. It's a balance and dosage matters as you say. These anabolics can increase the 'life' in your lifespan so it may be worth it depending on your vantage point.
In one study GH in combination with DHEA and Metfomin increased the size of the thymus gland and reduced biological age as measured via biological clocks but for example there's a drug to increase lifespan in dogs via an IGF-1 lowering effect so it's a known mechanism. But who wants to be old and frail and sexless? Well, a buddy of mine said it's a relief to not "need" sex anymore unlike when he was juiced so there's that.
Dude was pretty clever.

He pretty much took Ragnar Redbeard's Might is Right and mixed in some Ayn Rand and built a fake mythology of himself to sell it :D Clever.
