2023 Olympia - Hadi absolutely DESTROYS Derek !!

[ChristopherA]

I'm even starting to question having him in 2nd.  I think Samson beats him in the front shots for sure.  Derek takes the back.  It really comes down to the side shots.

Yeah I think it was Aceto who said he said Samson should be 2nd. Derek is too soft from the front. It doesn't make sense his back is so tight. His chest is a major flaw. Hadi's legs dwarf Dereks

[joswift]

If Derek doesnt win he is finished, he thought he was going to walk it this year

[Sandrock]

Hadi's "delts" are just about as bad as Derek's "lats".  They should both be disqualified for being oilbags.

Krizo has a whole lot of muscle in that back double bicep shot but he's hitting the pose so poorly and awkwardly it doesn't show well.

And Hunter's lats are like Nasser's lats if Nasser had all the lard liposuctioned off.

[obsidian]

Hadi looks huge but just too short IMO. And he does destroy the Derek the midget!

Need to see better pictures, but this lineup is disappointing.

[ChristopherA]

Krizos conditioning was actually pretty good

I can't remember the last time I saw a competitor with striated delts like that. They're always soft as fuck from all the oil

check out this line up

These guys look better than the entire Olympia lineup. 

Big,full,shredded,and can pose !

[Flexacon]

Krizzo sacrificed a lot of size to come in dailed. Nothing wrong with that, but when you're hyped up as a mass monster for 2 whole years (including photoshopping your own pics to look bigger) showing up "stringy" is a bad move.

[Royalty]

I’m not sure if I would call this look “stringy”

Post a full length pic and then post one from his last show.

I'll do it myself

[stavios]

Derek looks like a little bitch with his constant need of walking a few feet over the line every chance that he gets.

Here you go

Here you go

That's still not full length is it

There's a very easy way, with AI + computer vision. 

Simply make a synthetic "ideal physique" -- with perfect size, symmetry, conditioning, proportions, etc. -- and have a machine judge competitors on their similarity to that ideal.  I could program it in an afternoon.

This would do away with the tanning and homoerotic posing which has, for years, been quite ridiculous.

Computers won't ask for blowjobs or force you to "pay your dues," either.

> "B-but I have short legs and a long torso, so no matter how peeled I am, I'll always place poorly if a computer vision system does the judging!!!"

Cope.  Not my problem.

I stand corrected.  I should've said: bodybuilding is not judged truly objectively. Not now or ever.

Your method would be ideal but who would determine the perfect model that the A.I. (that's two words) program would compare the competitors to? Because, under such a system,  Flex Wheeler would have 10 Mr Olympias and Ronnie and Dorian would have zero.

No one is beating this from the back…

[oldtimer1]

check out this line up

Zero soft bloated muscle. That line up was incredible.

[Wiggs]

No one is beating this from the back…

You're right but he's like a 10 from the back and 6 in the front.  Too big of a disparity to win imo.

Hadi should won and Samson should be 2nd.

[ChristopherA]

No one is beating this from the back…

Right but he's soft as fuck from the front. He has no chest at all

[Loma84]

Derek just won

[Wiggs]

WOW! I'm legit shocked.

[SF1900]

They always say the Mr O is won from the back.

I'm glad Derek won.

[SF1900]

You gotta see videos, not pics.

It's not even close, no competition at all. Lunsford = all hype and IG filters...

@28:10

Haha, great prediction, dingus.

[Earl1972]

derek is very complete, but too short and stumpy to have the awe factor past champs had

[Wiggs]

Derrick is good for business and I don't mean ethnicity.
He's just a good man. I like him personally.  And yes, his zeal for Jesus had everything to do with it. 

[Rambone]

Haha, great prediction, dingus.

He gets everything wrong!

[Coach is Back!]

Hadi walked off….💣 💥🕍
