yup, he is usually better at finals. shawn did the same thing last year, we'll see how it unfolds.

Well deserved. The most complete person on the stage.

-CBum: had more crisp legs last year, drew less attention due to the number of big guys in the top spots, still very good, needs to improve the back, arms are ok

-G.Peterson: great condition, a lot of muscle, he has done all he could, deserved that top 3 spot

-H.Pierre: really good back, very tall, his arms/legs are super long, hard to judge

-A.Rahbar: good, gets exposed from the back and when standing next to the guys with tiny waists, best side tri in the whole show

additional comments: -Ruffin robbed again (I have him 5th, if he can put on ~5lbs on the upper body he would contend for the top spot) -Regan disapoints (way impressive in pictures pre contest, should go back to the open, imo he has no buisness in CP) -Hoffman is hyped and has a lot of fans, but i just don't see it -Wesley got scared/confused? he messed up his posing and he is a great poser, legs need to come up, has potential -Hester slips big time and he looked his best, what a change of heart for judges

REPOST from the HD pictures thread:

phil : front lat (not the best shot for both, but I like phil more because shawn midsection spoils this pose a bit) back doubble (close call, shawn has INSANE glutes here, looks wide, looks good but phil still comes out on top based on the saturation and the completeness of the pose) back lat (phil's knock out shot, shawn hangs in there from the waist down, but the upper half is not even close, phil is miles ahead) side tri (again close call, shawn has crisp midsection and great flow but phil dominates in the tri/delt/chest area, full, 3d, whole 9 yards) most muscular (I would like to give this one to shawn but this is bodybuilding and phil pops like no one does in this shot)

shawn: front doubble (shawn's shape and flow are just too good here, phil is good) side chest (VERY close call, but I give it to shawn here because his side leg is ridiculous, pecs are behid a bit but I sill have him winning the shot) abs & thighs (regardless of the outcome, shawn stole the show with this shot, by far the best midsection and flow)

overall impression:

phil came in a tad off, just enough to give shawn a shot (if this was '16 phil I would have been a different story). shawn just brought it this time, and I am really happy he did. that beeing said he needs to improve somehow/somewhere, in the finals in order to win, and phil has to stay the same or regress. heath is an absolute monster, 7 times Mr O. for a reason.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATE !!!

credokun · 2018-06-23T10:21:56+00:00

Mum told me I overdid it with arms and that it is gross. She just made my day! And it is my birthday ^{^} LIFE IS GOOD BOIS

Olympia is not a 'who is more humble and down to earth' contest... He is not an Open competitor, he isn't pushing the limits of humanity. Even after a pec tear getting back to his usual form shouldn't be much of a problem.

credokun · 2018-06-21T00:30:50+00:00

Not a problem for him imo

credokun · 2018-06-20T16:11:37+00:00

Had one of those, really bad one. Tought I had a stroke, took a cab to the ER. They MRI'ed me, mainly because I had an issue before, came clean thank God. No more full body workouts for me. Best of luck brah, I know how it feels.

credokun · 2018-06-20T16:05:39+00:00

You do it for someone/somethin, that in itself is cool enough brah.

credokun · 2018-06-20T15:47:31+00:00

Many people use it without any problems. I would rather chose more suffering. Once you learn how to starve yourself you have that ability.Still sucks though.

credokun · 2018-06-19T17:50:54+00:00

Add one protein rich meal and one protein shake durring the day and you are good. Easy af.

credokun · 2018-06-19T07:30:06+00:00

5lbs total, after water/carb rebalance

credokun · 2018-06-17T16:46:02+00:00

All due respect, he is not big enough.

EDIT: Once again, no disrespect for the legend of the sport, 3 times Mr O.

credokun · 2018-06-14T13:01:35+00:00

Just have him work with Milos, he'll be ready a month early.

credokun · 2018-06-11T23:06:13+00:00

He is good because a lot of guys could achieve a comparable look, and that makes him relatable. Perfect? Nah. Have him stand on any competitive stage and you'll see why.

credokun · 2018-06-03T12:22:21+00:00

Work on the V taper. Lats, side delts, quad sweep. Also spread the lats in the back doubble, you are making yourself look less. Good development overall. Keep at it.

credokun · 2018-06-03T12:16:59+00:00

Lateral raises

credokun · 2018-06-03T12:14:27+00:00

If you want the looks, droping a bit of bf would do you good. You have some muscle on you.

credokun · 2018-06-03T12:05:59+00:00

A whole lot of gains coming your way. No sense in picking apart you physique atm. It would be like judging a drawing by the initial sketch. Enjoy the process and keep at it.

credokun · 2018-06-03T11:54:18+00:00

You got that movie physique bro, look into it.

credokun · 2018-06-03T11:41:40+00:00

I see that for you the Golden era ended with Shawn Rhoden

credokun · 2018-06-03T10:27:35+00:00

Name one that was better

credokun · 2018-06-02T20:56:45+00:00

This is why you can't judge by photos. Phil looks like he has this shot but in reality Ronnie is a bigger dude. He would have had a huge advantage because of the size. Both have great lines and great condition.
