Title: Why can't Hadi win the Olympia, Ramy is bigger but is he better?!
Post by: Wiggs on December 07, 2022, 02:17:55 PM
I think not. Ramy is more flawed than Hadi and Hadi is in better condition.

You must be high as fuck!

Hadi lacks triceps and foreams and his back is weak in the RDB. Also he is the only guy on the stage with pointier delts than Ramy. At his height and size he needs to be almost flawless.

Hadi's back double is better than Rami's. Rami is missing half his back, with less conditioning. Hadi's back double is more complete because he has less flaws with better conditioning.

There are other guys with better from the back doubles than Hadi.

Condition/back detail in that pose isn't that different

Let's be honest, Rami is a nice guy but his size is his allure. He's no Palumbo, but he's no Flex Wheeler. His quads are way too big and out ratio his calves and distracts from any semblance of aesthetics. That's for starters.

That picture proves my point. Hadi more complete but yes in that picture I'd even call it a draw but I need video. Hadi is known for his conditioning but that's the best picture of his back I've seen. Let's see video.

If Matty was the head judge, neither of these guys would place well. They’re leaning back too much. They’ve got wrinkles in their back.

I wouldn't be surprised if he lost this year and the way he's been regressing he'll almost certainly lose next year.

He fucked up his physique chasing size (with help from the camel crew) He had more than enough size when he made his New York Pro debut a decade ago. He just needed refinement and some calfs.

Back then someone asked him if he would stop training his quads to better balance his physique and his response was "no, I'll make them bigger". Turns out it wasn't he wasn't joking. He's a fucking simpleton.

Matty would certainly suggest that they tilt their body just a little bit when they pose. Matty was shrewd enough to recognize that there's people on both sides of the auditorium.

With Brandon, it's not a size issue with his legs anymore, it's a conditioning and separation issue.

Seriously, compare those delts from 20 years ago with delts on Pro-BBs nowadays. It's like completely different bodyparts having nothing to do with each other, like comparing a delt to a calf ;D

Of all the bodyparts they fill with oil, calves would be a great help to their physiques. Way too small for their thighs.

Ramys back is terrible. Looks like nerve damage in his lower back. I almost thought I saw spots on his lower back from sight injections. But I know I must have been seeing things. Ramys arms are pitifully small for his overall size. Derek and Hadi should be 1 and 2

You don't just put the champ to the side without giving him a blast in the middle. Shaun Clarida was dead centre the whole time therefore the clear winner. Ramys done for, Curry was small and smooth, Nick was massive and gross with disgusting turtle belly, Derek was most aesthetic though a tad smooth besides the glutes, Hadi most dominant.

Ramy looks like crap

shit load of oil in his delts, zero triceps, bad arms in general.

lower back is non-existant. Quads are starting to retract like Ronnies did in the end.

But really look at his delts they look clownish, like Nassers did in his at the end.

This should be Ramy's last show. (I'm sure it won't be).
I wrote a myself a note last year and said no matter how much they hype him up believe your eyes. And as expected Chad and Dennis hype, hype, hyped him up but he looked no different to me in precontest shots. He won in 2020 fairly (given a special invite ::) ) but I've never been impressed other than his size but even then it's not dense, granite muscle like a Hadi. Anyway, his era is over. Hadi should be 2x Mr. O but that's the way it goes.

I'm very surprised with Bonac. Looks like both of Chad's guys didn't come through. Not even sure what went wrong with Bonac. Didn't have him out of top 6.

Derek looks incredible but Hadi's conditioning is better and Hadi's chest and arms are better. Sold #2 imo. 3. Should be Walker then Brandon #4. 5 should be Samson and Ramy shouldn't even be top 6 but he'll get it anyway. Andrew, Rafael, Ian, Bonac, Hunter in that order.

Samson did a battle for 6th right before battling in the top 6 he did 2 call outs in a row and still looked better than the dwarves. I hope they move him to the middle tonight and give him a proper comparison to the top guys I saw him next to Langford and he looked better. Honestly Samson from what I saw should win he has the best structure up there. Give him the comparisons and looks tonight I think he could win it if given a fair look

You're spot on with everything. Ramy needs to retire. His body is rebelling against him. Nerve damage and atrophy all over. No more triceps, lower back, even his calves look to be atrophied.  Like Coach said his waist got bigger. His body is just tired from being 300lbs for so long. Look at how much he's regressed from whe he won the NY Pro almost a decade ago. I hope to God they mark him down accordingly.  Hadi and Derek 1 and 2

Do you think the judges have Ramy in 1st or 5th?  He shouldn't win this year and I'm a fan.  To my eyes, the best versions of Ramy were probably some of those years early on where he had not paid his dues.  He's got injuries, lumps, etc.  Yes Coach, that waist is really wide.  He's always had wide hips but now his waist matches.  I think Sampson looks amazing.  He looks like Mr. Olympia in wait.  Wonder how old he is?

The year Jay placed ahead of Rami ensured he got an Olympia invite the following year he didnt deserve.

Top 5. Any previous Mr O winner (Jay) will have a lifetime qualification

Samson did a battle for 6th right before battling in the top 6 he did 2 call outs in a row and still looked better than the dwarves. I hope they move him to the middle tonight and give him a proper comparison to the top guys I saw him next to Langford and he looked better. Honestly Samson from what I saw should win he has the best structure up there. Give him the comparisons and looks tonight I think he could win it if given a fair look

I'm not feeling  5ft5 guys winning either. I'd rather Curry win, so hopefully he comes in sharper tonight.

Do you think the judges have Ramy in 1st or 5th?  He shouldn't win this year and I'm a fan.  To my eyes, the best versions of Ramy were probably some of those years early on where he had not paid his dues.  He's got injuries, lumps, etc.  Yes Coach, that waist is really wide.  He's always had wide hips but now his waist matches.  I think Sampson looks amazing.  He looks like Mr. Olympia in wait.  Wonder how old he is?

I can’t say where the judges will put him but me personally don’t see him in the top 5 based on his conditioning. Even his separation is blurry. Unless they can make huge adjustments before the night show he’s done or at least should be. If he wins in that condition we’re right back to shows playing favorites

I saw the clip of prejudging (at least what appears to be the top 6) on YouTube. All the talk is that defending champion, Mahmoud Elssbiay, was never put centerstage.

I think there's a fair chance Brandon Curry regains the title. Others are talking Walker or Lunsford.

If Curry wins then open bodybuilding is finished

Curry was centerstage multiple times; whereas Elssbiay (Ramy) didn't get put there at all.

People are all over the place. Kamali claims Ramy won it the instant he walked on stage, disagreeing with Dave Palumbo.

Chris Aceto claimed Ramy looked awful and will place 5th at best.

It's dead if one of the 2 former 212 midgets win. It's dead if Walker wins. It's dead if this version of Ramy wins. Pick your poison.

The judges should have taken Samson, Jacked and Rafa, put them in the middle of the first call out and make a statement about the direction they wanna take things.

I'd be fine with Samson winning this year.  He's huge, aesthetic, well conditioned and will hopefully get better.  Can't wait til tonight.  Always interesting to see how drastically some guys can improve in 24 hours.
