"hate me"

obviously fishing for sympathy

doubt he wrote that stuff, his written English is worse than his spoken. Yeah, he's pissed off but he didn't write that crap.

Bodybuilding is dead.

He’s finished. As others say, he’s this era’s Big Things Coming thong warrior. And in this tradition, he’s blown his wad. A monster who no longer has the hype but presents ever-diminishing returns on what’s mostly been a lacking physique.

At his level of drug/hormone abuse, one has, at best, several years to cash in with a prime.

He doesn't look very good. That's not to say he's fat or holding a ton of water, because he clearly isn't. But his condition wouldn't bear comparison to Ronnie's, Jay's in 2009, Dexter's in 2008, Dorian's anytime in the 1990s or Lee's in the 1980s. He is NOT top 3 material and never will be. He's Ruhl except much less likable, a smaller chest, and anyways Ruhl at the 2002 NOC remains the freakiest human being I've ever seen in my life. Ramy can't do that with all his drugs and state-of-the-art Oxygen gyms in Kuwait.

I would be embarrassed too if I had a guy that looked the same or worse every year. Unless Ramy did something against his “guru’s” wishes, it’s not Ramys fault

They're no longer using diuretics at the show or immediately prior, which is the only time those drugs really work to look peeled, anyway. The IFBB doesn't care about any drugs except for those. Nasser, Jay, and Sonbaty all lost titles because of them, although Jay blackmailed them into restoring his placing at the 2001 Olympia, probably by threatening to spill the beans about the judges and IFBB's drug culture to the media if they didn't work with him and his lawyer.

He does nothing else but bodybuild. He had a whole year to prepare. The biggest hurdle for every bber is to put on enough muscle to be pro size. He's already done that. He doesn't need or have to get bigger. He can just do maintenance training to keep his size which is way easier than trying to add muscle to an already advanced physique. He only has to focus on conditioning.  He has a whole year to find the right formula. His bodyfat doesn't need to be lower. It's where they all are on stage. It's drying out. And it's only the last day or two that matter in getting bone dry. There has to be someone who can figure out sometime during the year what it will take to get bone dry for about two days without dying.

He still looked better than Heath. At least he doesn't have that glazed over gut that Heath has. Even Brandon looks better than Heath.

Was that the same year they tested the Olympia? I thought that was 1990. Besides, that Olympia may have been tested but it doesn't mean the guys hadn't juiced all year long. They just got off it early enough and took whatever detox remedies or camouflaging agents existed at the time to mask the tests. Obviously, they were still a lot smaller.

How do you know Milos has bankrolled Ramy? It seems like Milos has trouble bankrolling himself. And what does he get out of it if Ramy wins? I thought Ramy was bankrolled by the billionaires from the Middle East.

That was the guy I was thinking of. Not Chris. And with the resources those billionaires have, getting a new kidney or two after each Olympia would not be an issue. Hell, I'd give one of mine for a 100 mil. Not like I ever wrote Beethoven's Fifth.

Just the Olympia. Diuretics weren’t subject to a blanket ban that I’m aware of across the industry. But the degree of dryness you saw back when three famous guys got disqualified for it seems to be missing now. Those drugs damn near killed Dillet and Matarazzo, and did kill Momo and Munzer

I didn't know that. It sure explains a lot. Those Middle East guys seem to live off of it. Or maybe I should say "die off of it".

Sometimes the sheer variety and amount of drugs and hormones can present a bodybuilder an impossible challenge to “dial it in” on cue.

There’s simply too much artificial physiology at play.

I wasn’t aware they were testing for diuretic use at the Olympia
That may explain the less than tight condition of most competitors.

Though the 212 class has some great conditioned physiques
I didn’t ask Kamal if he / aceto were going to use diuretics
Before he flew to Vegas.
Though I’ll find out from him when he gets back as or answers his
Phone in the next day or so.

There are other ways to dry out though over 2 day judging that’s
A tough one to get right.

Phil definitely should not win this year.
Bubble gut & washed out 2 abs - awful from the front
Back two poses are still good though.

but he's got excellent quads and mid-section, good arms, shoulders, traps, chest and a decent back.

last year he got robbed.

he just needs to dial it in next time and he wipes the floor with these guys (like he did at the ny pro a couple years ago).

The finals version of Ramy was top 3 this year.  Would love to have seen him, Roelly and Rhoden compared at the finals. This Olympia sucked more than any I can remember.
Rhoden - Very good but not even his all time best.
Phil - Horrible.  Worst he's ever looked.  5th or 6th at best.
Roelly - Good but not his all time best.  Could have won, but 2nd would have been fair.
Bonac - Just ugly to look at.  Should have been 3rd which speaks to how horrible the O has become.
Curry - Looked like shit.  Guest posing condition.  Looked like pre camel crew Bonac.
Ramy - Should have been 4th (based on pre judging) at the finals I'd have him, Rhoden and Roelly neck and neck.
Dexter - Father time has arrived.  Muscle atrophy everywhere especially the quads.  Time to hang up the thong.
The rest aren't worthy of mention.
My scorecard:
Rhoden
Roelly
Ramy
Bonac
Everyone else was too shitty to even place including Phil, Dex and Curry.
Hopefully Ka comes back and does the Arnold next year to qualify for next year's Olympia.

He's Ruhl except much less likable, a smaller chest, and anyways Ruhl at the 2002 NOC remains the freakiest human being I've ever seen in my life. Ramy can't do that with all his drugs and state-of-the-art Oxygen gyms in Kuwait.

I doubt Ramy will ever be the Mr. Olympia. I just don't see his look being polished enough to win it, he's simply too big where it throws off everything just a tiny bit.

Also the elephant in the room is Ramy's personality and religion. He's a quiet Muslim, whose English is rough. I'm sure the judges look at that, even though they won't say it. The Olympia is still a business that's job is to push bodybuilding and Weider to the masses.

Instead, I see him floating around the mid to low Olympia rankings like many mass monsters, maybe picking up fan's choice awards here and there.

You could be right, but with Heath likely on the way down, it can open up for him. He won't have the level of competition that previous mass monsters had to face. The Ramy of last year would likely have had enough to win the title this year. There isn't currently anyone that looks like they are able to dominate for the next several years so we could see the title going back and forth between a few men.

That’s actually smart. WWE is doing some shows in Saudi Arabia and they are being paid a ton for it, even though it pisses of their female wrestlers as women don’t wrestle in that culture so they don’t even get to go. Although rumor is they still are paying them for it.

yes great idea - They have done that with boxing in particular Amir Khan

To exploit the paki musli $ market - had he been just another white / black boxer he'd of
been dumped after a couple of attempts.
