Hard to say in todays bodybuilding, the amount of stuff they take, they can easily blow out their waist. But I hope he keeps it too, he could be a very competitive mr o in the near future

[@justsomejusstsome8994]

@@Jermoo_ Ofcourse it was, he was way flatter in 212 to make weight, so ofcourse he'd hit a deeper vacuum.

[@tonygoshive785]

Agree with everything you said Tom. Hats off to hadi for bringing it. Nick has no chance so long hadi and Derek brings it. Ramy I do feel sorry for him, something more must have happened other than the shoulder injury, his weak points got worse, he even had problem walking by the looks of things, he also never had not been able to hold a pose, and he did. I’d be very interested to know what actually happened to him. But either way I feel like he should retire with dignity. Health to come first before anything

[@RoaringJaguar]

I feel sorry for him too, he’s such a likable dude

[@Knowledge.to_Come]

They dont want pure mass they want perfectly sculpted and conditioned to the bone. Its extremely competitive and the guys this size who had the lowest bodyfat and smallest waists have been winning. The league is making a clear statement it wants massive people for sure but not to the point of it being a big bubble gut party. At a certain point asking these people for more mass comes at a terrible price and becomes grotesque

[@leez2647]

What an amazing lineup, probably the most competitive Mr O since the 90s

[@deezelkane]

There was literally only 2 guys in the running, what are you talking about “most competitive” lol

Hadi had the best midsection of them all and also kept his midsection flexed through all the poses most notably lat spread* from the front, all the other guys look like they have flat bellies but you can see hadi’s 8 pack perfectly. They will be midsection focused and they want slim waists like bumstead and for a phil gut to never make it to finalists stage again. 7:40 to see the front lat spread check the abdominals

[@kotoamatsukami_5832]

Yeah i agree so much on the comment that the front lat spread for Walker is his kryptonite. I was rooting for him, but i dont know if there is a way he can deal with that pose

[@JeanPauJean]

He’s too narrow with a wide waist!

[@wyattb6066]

The front lat spread is very much a structural pose. Nicks waist is too blocky and hes too narrow. It will never be a good pose for him.

I must say, I always get a buzz when I see you upload an analysis video. I’m not aware of anyone else on youtube that breaks down the shows and analyises them POSE FOR POSE, from an actual judging perspective. Others just give their opinion without real justification. Great work man, you are the best at this shit and I hope you continue to upload consistently.

[@hyderalihimmathi]

Even in Iran, he is from a very small village. I never thought they would make him win; it was more than hard work for him to give his best. I need to confess that watching this Mr. Olympic winner was a very emotional moment. Great respect goes to the Mr. Olympya judges who recognised bodybuilders' hard work. I wish he could make it again and again like Arnold Schwarzenegger. 🙏

[@saint_ofc]

No way Curry wins most muscular with no leg separation (half the body) whatsoever. Hadi is so dense, separated and striated in that pose, it’s lights out.

Great analysis as always 👍, Milos mentioned in an interview that samson was 294lbs on stage. I agree that he did look thinner and needed more muscle on some shots. Crazy to think he will be close to 300 on stage if not more to have the same density of some some of these shorter competitors

[@AS.47]

They really gotta to stop them from stepping over the line. The problem is if one does it, everyone does. It's such a nonsensical and unsportsmanlike advantage. Also the lighting, background, video quality and camera angles once again were just plain terrible. This is supposed to be the pinnacle of bodybuilding and it's presented like an amateur show. It's so frustrating to see how much potential is wasted in every regard when you imagine how great this show COULD be.

Great breakdown as always 👍I particularly liked the shout out to the judges and the point you make about judging on physique alone. Xavier over at Desktop Bodybuilding mentioned his preference for Derek because, among other things, he's religious and speaks English. Not quite sure what either of those things have to do with judging a bodybuilding contest.

This has been an insanely exciting Mr Olympia competition. The trophy was up for grabs and anyone stood a chance to take it. And we also see the new era of bodybuilding forming with the younger gen like Derek, Nick, Samson, and others like Blessing, Andrew Jacked etc. In the end, Hadi's victory was well deserved. He definitely earned it by being consistently bringing his A game every single year.

Thanks tomn8er, excellent analysis brother. Im so happy for Hadi, he's been knocking on the door so long and been placed lower than he deserved countless times.

My brother Big Ramy, i have to give you an advice from my heart. Keep on training and take care of yourself and your family. You achieved a lot for bodybuilding and all the people around the world love you and cherish you. Bodybuilding is a hard sport and put the body under a lot of efforts, sarcrifice, determination, hard work, training, dieting and chemical products. You don't need this anymore, you are a great champion and you will stay all the time in our heart and soaul. Forget the competition, continue training and no competition it doesn't worth it. You are already a champion no many bodybuiders can say i WON M.OLYMPIA AND TWO TIMES IN A ROW since 1965. How many bodybuilders in the history of bodybuilding can say i won M.Olympia and more tan that two times in a row. Brother, we're broud of you and all the things yo accomplished for yourself and body building community.

Tomn8er, we need a classic analysis too please

[@johnnewell8508]

I dont think politics were left at the door for ramy. I think the guest posing and lack of appearances hurt him. He was off by a larger margin last my year. It wasent till people saw his position on stage that we thought there was any trouble for ramy.. Dont get me wrong, I dont think he should have won last year to hadi, but he could have come 2-3 here. Reigning champ still brought the package he is known for, and did look better than last year overall package, to his credit. Just out of respect to the reigning champ, would have phased him out a little slower.. A melted phil heath came in third. A tattered up dorian kept winning years beyond what he should have. 5th place to ramy was dirty imo D:

[@sinthoras1917]

I fully agree with you, twas a screwjob, and I'm worried Hadi might eventually suffer a similar fate, as that is easier to do to not-US Americans.

[@mjc_fishing9916]

I think it was simply due to Jim Manion being pissed about how Ramy basically disappeared, especially from the Pittsburgh Pro while also taking so long to explain himself/apologize. The IFBB made an example out of Ramy on center stage. This was a warning to all of the other athletes. Don’t piss off the big wigs under any circumstances.

[@belminspahic1449]

i think they did Ramy dirty also,something was going on behind scenes,to not give him a chance to stand in the middle in prejudging was bs he was current mr o.But Hadi 100% deserved this win,no one was really close,Derek just has no details in his upper body from the front right now,maybe in future that muscle will mature,and he will be unstoppable.Nick just doesnt have shape to compete with Hadi and Derek,even tho he is better than them from the side

[@Tomn8er]

It's possible him snubbing the head honcho Jim Manion (by skipping his Pittsburgh Pro show) had Ramy marked. But that's the only political thing I can think of and have zero proof, just speculation.

[@imhopelesslyaddictedtofent4266]

His physique is just melting. He reminds me of Ronnie Coleman in 2005. Some bodyparts are there and others are completely missing.

@@Tomn8er i think the telling sign here is that they didn't move him at all, which is patently unfair to him. I think it was clear in this Olympia that a lot of people brought their game but to relegate Ramy to 5th without even comparing him directly to all the people ahead of him was just politics imo. I think even when making the case that Hadi should win, Ramy placing 5th was just a slap to the face. Relegating a reigning Mr O to the side without moving him was an even bigger slap to the face imo.

[@mattspencer6154]

I’m gonna say what I’ve been saying once I saw Nick this year. He needs to start coming in lighter until his muscle maturity is maxed. Once that happens, come in 10lbs lighter and it will improve his frame and waist. Hope someone in his camp or future camp tell him that. Edit: just go look at him at his NY pro win. With his added tissue, and coming down in weight. IMO, the Mr O will be absolutely wild every year with Hadi, Derek, and Nick battling every year.

[@SepehrFilmer]

I really love Nick, I think he has some of the best drive, passion, dedication etc in the business, but I think his overall shape and the (very few) weaknesses he has are going to hurt his chances at an Olympia title in the future. I hate to say that too because he really is incredible, but as long as he’s competing against guys who are also incredible, and have the better shape than him, he’s not going to win I don’t think. I really hope he gets the lat spread figured out. I don’t see any improvement in that pose from last year. If I remember correctly, his front lat spread at the Chicago pro (his pro debut I think) wasn’t near as bad. Maybe it’s to do with the extra muscle he’s packed on since that time? I don’t know lol I’m far from an expert, just a fan.
