Title: Noteworthy video of Ramy 8 weeks out
Post by: Royalty on July 21, 2018, 02:34:29 PM
Observations: 1) his body weight seems lower than normal at the 8 week point. 2) he looked exhausted at the end of video (@ 1:53).

He's gotta feel like shit, lugging that much mass around all the time and eating so much to keep growing.  I wonder how long he can keep it up.

Ramy looks great for 8 weeks out. Waist is in check no reason he shouldn't be ripped the day of the show. With that being said.


Phil will win
Ramy will look better here than the day of the show.

Sadly you’re likely right.

Sad, but true.  Ramy is Mr. Olympia.  Or at least is what Mr. Olympia should aspire to be.  Great mass, shape, tight waist.  No weak points.  Yes, thighs are a little too big for his calves but Dexter has no calves and won the O and is one of the greatest pro's of all time.  Ramy still has big calves just not on par with his thighs.

His exhausted face is the referred focal point for the collective pain of his overtaxed internal organs. They've abandoned trying to ping his brain into stopping this Dubai-financed drug stack from hell and are opting for a hail mary pass by channeling their groaning agony in unison through his facial expressions and labored breathing, hoping outsiders will notice the obvious signs of impending death and send him DMs on Instagram using google translate in Arabic to beg him to stop before he pulls a McCarver on us.

Ramy doesn't get much love on this board. He has moved up in placings every year. He was better than Heath last year. It's the same old bias. When someone is small they same how ripped he is. When someone is big they always say he isn't cut or dry enough. Ramy more than matched Phil's conditioning last year and has a much better frame and structure than Phil.

Phil is getting worse. Ramy continues to improve. He will be even better this year and Phil will be a little bit worse. Whether the judging is fair remains to be seen but it's just getting so blatant right now that people aren't going to stand for it.

Ramy needs to dwarf him not only with a conditioned physique, but also with humility touched with a dash of the reality that Phildo possesses tiny shoulders.  So tiny are these "shoulders" that I am amazed he can carry is mountainous ego around with him.  His arms overpower everything about him but his ego.

Phildo is an egotistical midgie.  Outside of arms and to a lesser degree back, the Philsbury Schmoeboy is without merit.  His success is a testimony to the suckiness of his competition.  And no, Kai Greene is an overstuffed butthole who does not deserve to be on the dais.

But then, neither does Phil "ol' glory-hole" Heath.

Yeah, Phil is #1 because, as most know, hes competing in the worst era of bodybuilding.

Its easy to be number one when your competition is so lackluster.

That is why bodybuilding contests are so dumb because of the old adage, "you just cant win, you have to knock the champ out." Dumbest thing ever. You dont need to beat the Patriots by 56 points to win the SB. You just need to beat them by one point.

So, why in bodybuilding do you have to "knock the champ out" with an overwhelming victory? Ridiculous.

I didn’t say you created the rules. Obviously you didn’t.

I discussed this absurd notion a few weeks ago. Knocking out thto champ is the dumbest thing ever.

They only do this to keep the same person winning year after year.

I hope he wins. The olympia going to kuwait would reignite "the sport". It's pretty much dead in the USA.

He's got a true olympian physique, with such a small waist on that massive, proportioned frame. Especially when you compare him to lil phillipe, the nasty shit who dumped his wife after shedding some crocodile tears on stage about her cancer.

for whatever reason the judges care the most about how a bodybuilder looks from the back, no matter how flawed they are from the front

ramy's back lacks detail and his hamstrings disappear from the back, while phil looks flawless from the back

that is why phil wins, it's the same reason dorian won

Won't be enough, come show time Phil will have a full, puffy back with muscle hanging from the top to bottom of his back. I wish it wasn't so but Phil wins from the back and even if he has a penoris hanging from his navel (again) he will still win.

Still frames don't tell the whole story. Ramy looked good at times last year but also didn't have the look standing next to Phil. Bonac could probably beat both of them anyway overall.


I don't disagree Ramy is bigger and has a better structure. He can come in ripped, and Phil comes in with a bloated gut. Phil just is complete overall in bodyparts and quality and Ramy hasn't been.

Post by: pellius on July 24, 2018, 02:30:57 AM
Phil has a glazed over bubble gut. It ruins everything from the front. People are sick of the distended bellied. Ramy just destroys Phil in the ab department. Despite his size, he has no bubble gut and clean, defined, ripped and dry abs. For some reason people try to look at Phil in the best possible light and look at Ramy in the worse.

As someone said earlier, if wasn't the champ and he was just going against Ramy on equal terms where they were just fellow competitors Ramy would place ahead of Phil.

Why? And what makes you say this? Maybe on this board but I haven't read it on other boards.
It's Phil that keeps going further and further down in popularity every time he opens his mouth.
Ramy, just by virtue of keeping and much lower profile and focusing on his training rather than social
media, keeps him out of the crosshairs.

Ramy absolutely destroying Phil from the front. Phil does beat him from the back, but it’s not as glaring as Ramy’s shoulder structure being far superior to Phil. Ramy also has abs without the bubble gut and penoris. Shouldn’t even be debatable that Ramy looks far superior to Heath.

There you go. Sure the back counts for a lot but it's an exaggeration to say that judges tend to favor those with the best back. It's only one half of the body and I don't even think it's more important than the front. You are mostly looking at a bodybuilders front, any person's front. I think this thinking came from the Dorian and Coleman era. But Jay wasn't known for his back and neither was Dexter. And both Dorian and Coleman utterly dominated the competition from the back. Phil does not bury Ramy from the back. And if you've seen recent pics of Ramy that back more than holds it own. That Nick guy who lives for this stuff claims the currently improvement pictured is "Dorian-est". Maybe, but Ramy keeps improving. Phil is not.

Phil has some very strong points. Of course, he has, he been the Mr. Olympia seven times in a row now.
That back, and of course his arms, and I think his quads are perfectly proportioned with calves to match.
But he has such glaring flaws. Of course the shoulder width he is cursed with and can't do much about.
In front shots, his head looks so big. And then there's that glazed over bubble gut. He can't get his abs to come out sharp anymore.

Maybe judges do overly favor the back shots and score it higher overall. But I think that might be changing and that they are focusing more on the guts now because it's just gotten out of hand and the public is sick of it.

We can only hope.

Look how Phil's abs has glazed over. Doesn't even have a clear four pack anymore let alone a six pack.
Phil has some very strong points but he now has some very glaring and important weak points. We tolerate judges overlooking weak calves now we're supposed to ignore the most prominent feature of the upper body.

Heath beats Ramy in the RDB and edges him slightly in the RLS. Ramy beats him in every other pose, and absolutely destroys him in a few. Ramy is at worst, top 3 in every single pose. Phil is number one in the two back poses, but barely top 5 in FLS, FDB, MM etc. plus standing on stage relaxed next to Ramy he looks terrible.
