I mean, obviously it was the greatest competition, but it just seems like the past decade or so. It’s just been water down with shitty bodybuilders competing. I feel like it’s lost it ever since The schmoes passed away 5 to 10 years before that the Ronnie Cutler era anybody agree?
-
It's awful.
The fact that Walker won with noticeable, glaring site injections on his lats further cements the decline of this show.
-
I don't who won since Ramy.
It's over.

This echoes my feelings, I was blown away to find out Shawn Rhoden won one year.

Grief about the current state of the Mr Olympia upsetting people that much that basic facts, spelling, grammar and punctuation are being thrown to one side in this thread

I used to be big into muscle and fitness and flex mags back in the 90s. It’s just sad to see what this competition has done these days. I can’t tell you the last time I followed, but it had to been somewhere around Jake. It’s just gotten so bad to see it’s legacy what it is.

Could not tell you who won the last several years. Totally stopped paying attention to the O. What's the purse for the winner these days? I know they added lots of other categories for men and women but the Master's seem to disappear forever. :'(

who the fuck is Hadi? Lol

I haven't followed it since Heath lost. I know Flexatron beat him (I think that was who), then Brandon won, after that I have no idea who placed where. When I see contest results now of the ASC or NY Pro or whatever, I have no idea who those guys are.
It's kind of funny. Because pre-social media, everyone on here could ID the top BBers and recite contest placings years prior. Just from magazine articles. Now it's the opposite with social media and a greater increase in exposure, nobody really knows who any of the guys are anymore.

Went last year for the first time ever. Really enjoyed it (nh) although I don’t really keep with the “sport”

You mean Derek ,right?

I used to know pretty much every competitive bodybuilder male and female by name just from reading mags.
I once told the guy I trained with, he picked up a random magazine and flicked it open and pointed at a photo of a female who placed down the field at a pro show, I just said "Rene Cassella"
He couldnt believe it

Ironically there's more people following "The Olympia' more than ever....
not exactly the open class though
WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
I knew it was close but didn't know the date. I'll still check n see who won n check out the pics. But I look forward to the arnold now
-
You mean Derek ,right?
Lol - whoever the fuck it was - they all look the same.

I lost interest during the Heath years.

Those bumps were stupid ,just like when Cutler tried to fix bicep with oil the day before the Olympia.

Thank god he does not have them again.

More people are following the Olympia this year than any other, but the majority are more silent than before. The contest is sold out, but while the main event of pro bodybuilding open is still there, a lot of excitement is generated in the classic division with Chris and all, and other divisions.
See some of you there...
-
No more oiled muscle hunks in things ;D

I was the same way.........I know who a lot of pretty obscure bodybuilders are to this day.
I must have have read every "muscle book" a zillion times over from cover to cover.
-
and yet physiques have never been so good, hyper muscular, lean, proportionate and without bloated bellies.

I`m still interested of course,but I don`t follow it like I used to.

You guys complain they are too blocky now meanwhile Shawn Rhoden may have the best winning aesthetic Olympia physique with size we have seen in my lifetime he had more size than the blade. If you asked me which Mr Olympia Physique do you want its Rhoden hands down. Guy had super freak size with a small waist and height. If you want a classic look but Open size Rhoden is great

Can't quite get behind those higher bicep insertions.

shawn Rhoden was only chasing after your Olympia esque physique you studmuffin :-X

He looks like his gyno went on vacation.

I'll probably end up watching it live on a stream and then deeply regret it.

I see you've seen Brain Woods Healy Hankins' pictures here. He has the Classic Physique that will save the sport of BodyBuilding.
If you asked Michelangelo to carve a Classic Physique champion, he would send you a statue of this:
-
I don't who won since Ramy.
It's over.
THIS. No idea who is even competing.

Wtf you on about?
It's literally the highlight of every living person's year.
From peasants to royalty.

Stopped caring or paying attention to the Olympia when Dorian took the stage with two skinny blown out arms and won.
Been a downhill short manlet blob fest for decades now filled with manlets

The crazy part is I remember when Dorian came out one of his final years and I remember his arm looking like shit and then years later I reflect back and sure enough it didn’t always look like that. It was torn toward the end. I was wondered how he won with such a tiny weird looking arm. And I remember flex wheeler on a bunch of magazine covers looking awesome

Isn’t he dead?

It's the way they score, best score out of all the mandatory poses wins, Dorian was at the time of injury ready to hang it up that is until he reviewed how he could still pull it off via the scoring criteria

The Royals will have "oiled" themselves up before the winner's announcement even has had a chance to fully echo through all of Westminster.

The Arnold Classic overtook the Olympia a long time ago.

What about 2019 Mr. O, Brandon Curry?

That would be 2-time ASC winner and FORMER MR. OLYMPIA, Brandon Curry.

don’t know him

With all due respect to him he won that title in the weakest Olympia line up ever.
-
That’s why I don’t follow any longer trash huge gutted oiled up competitors synthol and skin killed it all down hill from there
-
I lost interest after the Ronnie/Jay era. I paid a little attention to it during the Cheath era but now I might know 3 guys competing at best.
Nothing gold can stay.
- Block!

That pic could be a comparison between a silverback and a chimp. They look like two separate species. (nh)
-
What about Wellness "Olympia ? can you follow that? yesterday they had a live streaming at Olympia tv some kind of meeting/registration going and there was a tall blonde with a blue dress sitting there , not idea who she is but wouldn't mind to see her in hills oiled up on stage this weekend ;D
WooooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

yeah, good call block. I agree with you there. It pretty much died after that but I must say the 90s arrow was the best by far after that it’s slowly started going to shit once Phil Heath won. That’s when I stopped following. It just wasn’t interesting anymore.

Solid labia-hang there….
-
The top guys at this point are all 5'5 manlets that look like goblins with distended guts and site injections everywhere. It's grotesque and a complete mockery of what bodybuilding used to be.
-
Rhoden's win was a step in the right direction. I'm convinced he was stitched up by that woman, given her history of fraud charges with her husband, etc. The way they dropped him thereafter, was shameful, Imo

I gotta agree with you. Rhoden looked great and was a step back to normality.

bhanky definitely has a solid labia hang for sure

Lol - whoever the fuck it was - they all look the same.
Don't remember you using this type of language in the past....

I get the impression that you spend a lot of time staring in the mirror and saying " I'd fuck me " and suddenly screaming "Put the lotion in the fucking basket!!"

Bigger than Flex Wheeler in his hey day! Amazing.

I know that’s crazy genetics right there unbelievable

It wasn't his fault that the 7-time champ was out with injury, the defending champ was barred because of a rape charge, and a future champ had marital issues (got a 2nd wife without informing the first one).
-
I don't follow bodybuilding much anymore, more into strength training, strongman/powerlifting/arm wrestling/fighting, what's the point in injecting your ass to have enormous muscles if you are a weak
-
I won't disrespect the guys of today it's just not for me, classic is a great look, open is too much there is no resemblance of the symmetry and shape of Arnold, Haney, wheeler, Yates 93 etc, they are huge guys with more muscle than ever I just don't like the way they carry it, but I do appreciate like many things in 2024 things are different whether they are better or worse depends on the person, I would never look at any of those top guys and want to join a gym, like I did when I first saw Arnold Haney etc.

Great Post.. 👍
Yeah it was Steve Reeves who started me training after seeing his films as a kid.
Never look at the Bodybuilders nowadays.
Still like the old Vintage trainers
-
the top guys are structurally flawed, but you have to admit the top guys today are shredded and they don't have guts like they used to
we all like the 90's but big bellies became the norm then, they aren't the norm now
