If bodybuilding didn't suck already with the bloated toad physiques, it looks like the Mr. O and the IFBB in general is heading into a dark time. Cutler is done, Dexter won't win the O anymore, Branch is done, Centopanti turned out to be a bust, Wolf will never win, Martinez is done, Rhoden is just too old too bad he didn't look like this 7 years ago, Freeman is too old.
It basically boils down to Heath, Kai and Ramy.
We all know that the IFBB loves streaks and gives the reigning Mr. O a free pass at least once. Dorian got one, Ronnie got one and Jay got one. Heath has yet to use his. So even if Heath comes in off and Kai is sharp, Heath gets that one free pass. Even if Kai is a hair better, Heath still wins. Ramy has not convinced me yet that he can build a well balanced and dry physique.
Most young guys that come in big like Ramy tend to burn out and fade away just as fast. Probably receptor overload.
The future of the Olympia looks to be boring. It will be Heath for at least 3 more years, maybe even 5 if he can keep coming in dry and in shape. This year had a lot of buzz and that all died on Friday night's prejudging.
What can change it up and make it more interesting?
