2019 Olympia - Congrats Brandon Curry... but Hadi was robbed

[LurkerNoMore]

Eh, I didn't ask you... But, given my 5yr  abcence.... Maybe "hundreds" from you.... But, who.gives a fuck about you? BwaahahhA..... But YOU.

one on one, me and you.... Who do YOU think is best? Who can out train who? And who can choke who unconscious? (Knock me out dbl to you).

You ever post the names of those pros you lead to a pro card?

[That_Dude]

Congrats but worst Mr. O show of all time.

This posting is all that needs to be said. Bodybuilding is almost dead. I estimate within the next 4-5 years the O as we know/have known it will be dead

Chris Aceto said Dexter was 215 pounds for this show. At 50 years old, it's about over. Dexter could easily done the 212 and win that title next year. Now that would be a pretty cool story. If Phil and Rhonden come back, that pushes Dexter out. He isn't going to get any better. But Derek Lundford cant get ripped so Dexter could easily win the 212 for the next couple years without killing his body...And it's 65,000 grand to win the 212 so Dexter should seriously consider it. But I don't think his ego will allow him to do so...

Why would a FORMER Mr. Olympia, who has been in the top 10 his entire career and is still on the top 5 now, go to 212?

Next year, we could see four of the top 5 be Olympia winners, if Heath returns and Rhoden isn’t in the slammer.

Ya unfortunately it the beginning of the end for Dexter. His chest in his patent most muscular was flat as a pancake. His body just isn't responding like it use to and basically all machine work isn't going to cut it against the top guys for long. Still has a crazy physique though

Dorian Yates claimed Dex was done in 2011. Yet, he still is among the best.

[Coach is Back!]

Too bad about Rhoden, he would have easily made it #2

[Ronnie Rep]

You could put Hadi in 2nd, but he wasn't touching Curry.

This.

[TheShape.]

Curry was still the best up there IMO.

[SGT BARNES]

curry won by a country mile.

Hadi has NO arms. looks a t-rex.  Bonac buries him.

The rest of the competitors are all crap. wouldnt have won as amatuers 10 yrs ago.

[LanceD]

Brandon wasn’t three dimensional, Hadi was.

[WalterWhite]

Ya it really don't mean much. Hadi is extremely happy and got the peoples choice. It really sets up for next year to see if Flex Lewis can beat Hadi Choopen. That will be the discussion. I'm sure Phil and Rhoden will be back...

Kamal beat Hadi and has better flow. Not sure why there is so much hype surrounding him.

Yes I’m a wee bit biased
Kamal has a very good overall physique.

That’s a Great Pic of Him.

Ha that's ok he brought it and beat the American favorite.

[SF1900]

Agreed. I am happy that Rhoden did not compete, as he has a poor Olympia physique. I hope he goes by the way side, but I suspect he will compete again next year.

[SOMEPARTS]

Show was so dead that I read the top threads on here and couldn't find out who won until I found this thread half down the page. 

[AbrahamG]

There's always the chance that he will rape another woman between now and then. 

[usmcdevildoc]

Hadi should've AT LEAST been 2nd.

Bonac was WEAK in the pecs and legs

They are all ugly as sin and need elevator shoes.

Don't go by this board. This is the most anti-bbing board on the net. The O was again sold out. It's getting bigger and bigger every year. More and more money every year. More competitors than they know what to do with.

For the last 10 years, people here have been predicting the death of bbing. Since I've been on this board there has never been a widespread majority of approval for ANY of the Mr. Olympias; from Coleman, Cutler, Heath, Rhoden and now Brandon. With the exception of Coleman, all of them have been tag with the "worse ever" label.  

Such a jaded group. Cedric may have been smooth, he doesn't have the luxury of just eating, sleeping and training and he has a full-time job with the military, but here he is considered fat.  

When I look at the top contenders for next year: Brandon, Phil, Ramy, Hadi, Bonac, Roelly, Rhoden(?)... I don't think anyone of these will ever meet the standards of GetBig. All these guys are already widely criticized and fail before they even started.

We should all be so fat (even by world class standards).

Imagine if Cedric went to Kuwait and did nothing but eat and train

I agree. Almost without exception, the posts on Getbig regarding the Olympia are critical and negative. I like that the two commentators, mainly Shawn Ray, found something good to say about each contestant's physique, while not ignoring their flaws or how they compared to one another. Bob Chic is a bit corny with the way he introduces the contestants. But, even that was okay and it infused some humor into the event.  But if you peruse other bodybuilding associated web pages, many of the posters have nothing good to say about the 2019 Olympia.

How is your knee feeling today?

Na, the Olympia is in bad shape. Some of it has to do with Joe Weider's death, some with the change in publishing and supplement advertising, some with the quality of competition. It happens, when Bob Hoffman got sick, US Weightlifting went through the same thing. It goes from a business and passion/vanity production to strictly business. One only needs to look at how much better staged it was during even Weider's declining years.

I just looked at the google news tab for the Olympia, there are no major general news outlets covering it, except for a Tennessee newspaper doing a story on Brandon Curry, and Bleacher Report.

Yes, yes, negativity pervades this board, like few others.  I would go as far as to say as I find that having the thirst to inject negativity  on the internet to be a contributor to living a shit life, so I don't really post too much, these days.

However, the standards for the olympia stage have dropped, considerably, too.

And in the context of the olympia stage, those Curry photos seem to depict someone who is not in their best condition.  Another clear indicator that the competition has diminished.

Getbiggers have a right to be negative towards all others as we are all multi millionaires with a harem of super models riding our massive cocks attached to our better than Mr. Olympia bodies.

I like Bob Chic. Who would be better? That other guy from wrestling (Lonnie Tepper?) isn't as good as Bob. But it really doesn't matter who they put up there. The still will be trashed here.

The knee is getting better. I'm able to get around a lot better but still can't walk without crutches.

Bodybuilding was never mainstream. What major general new outlet has ever covered bodybuilding?

Bigger audience, the competitors have increased exponentially, and more and more money every year = winning.
