2024 Arnold Classic - Arnold Open Men's Bodybuilding - Prejudging

[AbrahamG]

I have it:

1. Hadi
2. Sampson
3. Rafael
4. Jon
5. James
6. Antoine
7. Akim
8. Mo Shaban
9. Horse MD
10. Justin

I do feel Jon and Rafael are very close as are James and Antoine
I also think they are going to give Justin 8th. 

I feel Hadi should be a lock for 1st and Justin a lock for 10th.

This site is the last connection I have to bodybuilding. I have no clue who any of these people are. I couldn’t tell you who won the Olympia after 2005.

His real name is Marcello De Angelis,not sure how he landed that weird nickname.

Samson is 5-7 pounds of water away from multiple Mr. O's and possible failed kidneys.

Agreed!!
Hadi is killing him on conditioning ,but I would not be bit surprised if Steve-O has Samson 1st.

I wonder if Wesley beating Ramon is foreshadowing of the buttocks fucking that awaits Hadi tomorrow?

Rafa Brando in third looks really good.  He added size and looks great.

Thought he beat Delarosa from the front but Jon got him on the back.  I agree though, he looks great.

Jon D surprised me.  He look great here.  He came out of no where.

I agree. That cat has incredible genetics. One of the few current guys that I think could have competed back in the 90’s

I'm seeing the effects of Milos on Samson's mid section already.

I did 2 contests with Jon before he turned pro........real nice kid.......well he was a kid back then anyway.

[BigRo]

Close between Samson and Hadi.

Perfect comment

And I have eyes - I can see Hadi has better conditioning, I'm just not a fan of the 'blocky waisted short limbed monobrowed dwarf' look.  He looks like some of those old Branch Warren shops we used to do on here...

[BigRo]

Not a fan either. Samson needed to come in tighter and his midsection is off putting on an otherwise very flowing godly physique.

Samson seems like he can never totally nail conditioning. Leaves himself open to a closer contest.
If he nails it, he beats Hadi on everything... Size, structure, balance, flow, symmetry, etc.

Absolutely - it reminds me of McCarver or McMillan - people always said if they were just that bit crisper, etc...

Hmm... maybe not the best people to reference, but you get the point

Samsons back looks watery.........not enough dry seperation or hardness.

They are pretty dry/crispy by now, no??

Hadi kills Samson in conditioning...
