Dude look best on stage. Wolf have strange structure. Rhoden lacking back and arms. Dexter haven't got the muscle thickness/fullness. Phil got thickness/fullness, dense thick muscles everywhere, symmetry and condition. Pretty simple...no one is better right now...
Waist look better this year. Thought he was done last year when he started to show signs of paulombonism...but he killed the diseases.
That's fine, no one will be better next year either and it won't matter what shape Phil shows up in. Nothing will change, because nothing can change. These bodies are built and established, no one will add more muscle or change their shape/insertion points/structure etc...
Outside of Ramy the top 10 are on the down swing, if he leans out Ramy might be able to grab a couple of 2nds during Phil's reign and if he plays his cards right pull a Cutler and grab the throne in the transition to new faces, although that is also unlikely because, as history has shown, a new face usually rises up.
Dorian won an Olympia win one bicep, he wasn't the best on stage that night. Ronnie towards the end (and according to some in 2001) wasn't the best on stage, Cutler had to have his arm full of oil before he wasn't rewarded. Phil will win because that's what Mr. O gets.
