Title: 2022 Mr. Olympia - Top 4 heights
Post by: Wiggs on December 18, 2022, 06:55:47 AM
1. Hadi - 5'6
2. Derek - 5'5
3. Nick - 5'7
4. Curry - 5'6

Shortest top 4 ever. Is it a trend?
Top 2 in the open, former 212 guys.

Isn't Brandon Curry about 5'8", or is he inflating his height in interviews? I know I've seen him listed as 5'8" or more.

Yeah it's nonsense they need to do away with the 212 class and go back to a tall and a short class make 5'8 the cutoff

Absolutely not. Met him important and was shocked how short he was. Very wide shoulders though.
Here's a pic of 5'8 Kai and 5'7 Curry.

It's not their fault these taller guys can't quite nail their condition.

If Blessing Awodibu would quit running his mouth and get in better shape, business would pick up.

That Samson Dauda guy just missed the top 5. To be honest, I wouldn't have had a problem putting him over (now) former Mr. O, Mahmoud Elssbiay.

There should be a 6’-and-up division and a genetic-dead-end-short-man division.

We already had that, back in the day (sort of), with the under and over 200-lb classes. Most dudes over 200 lbs were also at least six feet tall.

How are you a "genetic-dead-end", if you're Mr. Olympia?

Counting Choopan, there are at least 4 guys who are 5'6 or shorter who have Sandows (Jackson, Dickerson, Columbu)

The weirdest thing is that 5'3" Mohammed Makkaway beat BOTH Samir Bannout and Lee Haney at the Olympia but never became Mr. Olympia himself.

Because no one wants to reproduce with a man that short, so their genes will not be passed on.

Glad Big Dummy is no longer Mr. O. He was a horrible representative of the sport. He may have had some recognition over in the middle east but did nothing to promote the sport.

As someone else pointed out he peaked at that NY pro show back in 2013 or 14....whenever that was. He was just big and in good enough condition that all he had to do was outlast everyone else. Phil aged, Rhoden raped (allegedly) then died. And Brandon really needs an asterisk next to his name. He won in a year with no phil, no rhoden and no ramy.

Aside from his body man ramy looked dumb as fuck. Looked like a Neanderthal. This, I think, is the biggest fall for a defeding Mr. O. Samir went from 1st to 4th I think a few went from 1st to 3rd. But ramy dropped to 5.

Glad he blew off that Pittsburgh deal. Judges did him no favors and scored him appropriately.

Only issue is Hadi might not be much better at it.
He has a hearing impairment, and he cant speak English.

But we shall see I guess...

The more we gay 4 pay

----------------------

Lundsford is listed as 5' 6" also. For a decent time, 5'8" - 5'9" was considered the range most top bodybuilders fell into, perhaps we're on a slight downward trend.

Hadi really doesn't have much going in his Favour
Yet still won. !!

Why they not give it Derek ?
Either the judges judged what was on stage & best overall physique won
or do you think they were all paid off?? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I didn’t watch the show. Someday I might find the motivation to watch the final announcements.

But from what I heard on the RXmuscle video, Derek won the rear double bicep pose. That used to be THE pose.

Hadi did worse during the pre judging (7) and did great at the finals (6). Derek had a better pre judging ( 8 ) and a worse finals (9). A 4 point difference between them. Both did much better than Walker (15 17 32).

If he can hold it together, Derek will get a huge push going into the 2023 O. You could see it last night in the post O interviews. Derek was all smiles and had a good wholesome interview. The interviewers like him, and he had good presence on camera. Walker's interview seemed like a chore in comparision.

Hadi vs Derek will be the battle for the next couple of Olympias.

I'd have been ok with Samson in 4th.  He looks great.  I found out he works with Milos and that concerns me.  I fear his insulin protocols will eventually catch up with him and he'll never realize his potential.

Hardly, in this particular case. Folks around average height (5'7") have ample amount of kids. So, this whole idea of being a genetic dead end, if you're not at least 6 feet tall is categorically absurd.

Lunsford is not 5'6. Ran into him, Chick and another person I don't remember last year. At first I didn't realize it was Derek. He was really short but a tank. It dawned on me in the middle of conversation. Absolutely wide but Absolutely short. But to me height is not apart of being the best. Shaun Clarida if judged fairly would wipe the floor with majority of pros.
