Yep, it's a shame that there's so much politics in something that should be a fair competition.

 

[Mackie]

It really is a shame - the decision is made now though so it's in the record books.

How would you have had the placings [MENTION=895]Shrek[/MENTION]; [MENTION=3034]Rugby88[/MENTION]; [MENTION=17161]White_Lie[/MENTION]; [MENTION=7521]C_T[/MENTION]; [MENTION=9189]canned tuna[/MENTION]; [MENTION=17720]hoomy903[/MENTION]; [MENTION=7064]boonie[/MENTION]; [MENTION=2727]Fadi[/MENTION];

Interested to see who has who placed where. Not trolling I know C_T and rugby disagree but am interested to know what everyone else's thoughts were...

I think wolf was the most shredded but has no calves.
Rhoden looked good maybe not as big as the others...
Kai not as ripped as wolf...
I don't think phil conditioning was off also.

Just my personal thoughts - I agree phil shouldn't have got perfect scores for both rounds - there is no question about that.

I guess it was probably a hard one for the judges to judge - what it comes down to is what's the lesser of all the evils, do you score down conditioning, mass, calves?

He who ends up with the least deductions SHOULD become the winner???

Kai Phil wolf rhoden

 

[White_Lie]

Pretty much as above.
They all had their low points, Rhoden just doesn't have the mass to compete at this level. Wolf's lack of calves is a pretty big deduction.
So if it were between Phil and Kai, I would have said Kai.

Ramy will be something in another year or two

that bonac dude got overlooked

 

[Repacked]

that bonac dude got overlooked

In the prejudging he was one of the 3 best conditioned imo. Just needs more size.

 

[hoomy903]

I dont know what it is about Branch, but I think he just looks disgusting and he has a very average body. His lats are too small and his chest is also to small.

I dont know what it is about Branch, but I think he just looks disgusting and he has a very average body. His lats are too small and his chest is also to small.

Branch is getting abit past it now but still brings in top 2-3 conditioning into shows - def one of the best bodybuilders over the last 10-15 years....
[MENTION=14860]Mackie[/MENTION]; I don't know mate - its so subjective and hard to say without being there -

1. Wolf
2. Phil
3. Kai
4. Rhoden
5. Ramy
6. Branch
7. Dexter

*** If Ramy came in condition then Ramy no.1 by a fair while

*** Wolf for me was the clear winner - shape, size, insane conditioning

*** Phil and Kai were neck and neck - Phil was prob 1-2% better and has better shape

*** Rhoden with more size will be easy top 2-3 every year - could even win the show with his shape - just needs abit more size

*** Branch and Dexter are always chipping away - Dexter came in abit smaller but just insane conditioning and Branch the same

[Rugby88]

2012 > 2013 > 2014 - Going backwards? (as some bber do), worse lifting?, not as conditioned? - Mix of everything -

 

[Mackie]

Looks that way - looks much better in the 2011 pic

 

[taurus]

Just going on the pics, Kai is bigger, but does he look better?
Also the Olympia is a product, I know who I'd rather be my top guy...

 

[White_Lie]

Definitely looked better in the earlier days. Just doesn't look as shredded, especially thru the mid section

 

[Rugby88]

I think the only guys that really came in shape were Branch, Dexter, Wolf and Bonac - the rest missed the mark - I would of been happy with Wolf, Dex, Bonac and Branch as my top 4 haha

Found this pic on Facebook earlier.

I'm surprised they didn't put circles around their heads and say one looks mean and the other is smiling [emoji57]
