2018 Olympia - Recap and thoughts on the O

[Coach is Back!]

[SF1900]

Lol at Roelly being shredded.

 You must have a weird perception of what being shredded actually means.

Look at an Andrea Munzer pic. That’s shredded.

Guys these days, including Roelly, tend not to be shredded.

Didn't realize Munzer was in the show. Where did he place again?

What are you talking about?

Clearly someone is either shredded or not shredded irrespective of when they competed.

Mentioning Munzer was used as an analogy to show what a true shredder bodybuilder looks like, which Roelly was not.

It’s really not too difficult to understand. Then again, maybe it is. 

Clearly, Roelly was not shredded.

Munzer is at the opposite end of the spectrum on the Greg Kovacs - Munzer scale of conditioning. He's not the yardstick to compare rippedness and dryness with.

That said, Roelly lacks Ronnie's vascularity, Flex Wheeler's upper body separations (i.e. in 1993), and Ruhl's cartoonish muscle bellies. He's exactly what he looks like - a hypermuscular, vertically-challenged top 5'er whose foot is so hard on the gas that his heels are sending sparks flying from friction with the pavement under his proverbial Jeep.

In other words, what I said was correct:

Roelly was not shredded.

Hyper muscular, as you said, yes. Shredded? Not even close.

What? Munzer decided to participate in the show too?


If so, i'd give him the nod for sure!


Great conditioning!

Roelly won that contest by winning almost every pose.

[SF1900]

Damn, that’s shredded

[Kwon3]

Roelly won that contest by winning almost every pose.

He got stomped from the back, and that is what had won heath his last 7 Olympias. Unfortunately his front sunk him, but Roelly was never seriously going to be #1. Top 5 is where he belongs.

[Coach is Back!]

Like I said, not from just watching the show, but those comparison pics on Andro convinced me even more. Roelly was a fucking FREAK

[Parker]

  Better arms than Ruhl, though.

[Kwon3]

 Better arms than Ruhl, though.

1, 2, and 4 are magazine-enhanced. The rest, his triceps dominate Ruhl's, but his biceps are much less peaked and there's a difference between a 5'10" man's arms and a 5'5" man's arms. Lee Priest had cannons growing out of his shoulders but they were half the length of Ronnie's, which made him, for lack of a better word, a stump with muscle.

[SF1900]

Coach, can you please point out where on him is exactly shredded? He looks like an oversized blob. Unless I’m missing something.

[Kwon3]

No lower abs, chest vascularity, only one vein on the left lat (see 1990s guys for lats SMOTHERED in veins), and upper legs zero veins (see Ronnie's legs, or even Bob Chick's).

No, just no.

[Bevo]

Dexter is shredded compared to the competition and rolly

Yep. Those upper chest veins.

[SF1900]

Yep. Those upper chest veins.

Even striated shoulders.

[Kwon3]

Roelly looks remarkably similar to Jay in terms of skin condition, tan-color (other than Cutler's boiled lobster years in the mid-2000s), and muscularity. His waist is smaller and his forearms are better.

But Jay vaporized him on legs.

[mazrim]

Roelly is structurally flawed and should never win. Mass monster but ugly.

[Dan-O]

Like I said, not from just watching the show, but those comparison pics on Adro convinced me even more. Roelly was a fucking FREAK

I hear what you're saying, Coach, and I've reviewed those pics on Team Andro too--Roelly really put it all together this year.  He has a unique look that sets him apart from all the others.  I think he could be Mr. O someday.

I forgot what thread that Andro link was on. SF obviously didn’t see it. It was very telling

Case in point--this.  BAM!
