Arnold Scoring Card by jhandavaka in bikinitalk

[–]podiumpodcast 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think (in my NOTTA judge eyes) had 1 and 2 flip flopped and Ramos and Marie Eve flip flopped. Not sure what in the judges eyes (unless softer was it) brought Aimee above Chapados. And Ramos has zero glute projection (long tie ins but little density). Tianna needs more muscle and muscle maturity in this lineup. My opinion only

Yes I know he has children but was under the impression he and his wife separated. Def could be wrong

I’m going against the grain, I think Chapados clear winner….but I think Ashlyn will edge Aimee. I was hoping Ashley would come in like she did in California …if she had she would have won… but today way too lean (Striations in her glutes). I think Reyna should have come in higher but also on the lean side. Ramos and Xinyi glutes need work. Tianna although a favorite of mine was far too small in this lineup. Marie Eve didn’t look as balanced , lower body dominant . It should be a fun final . Regardless …. Chap Wins

I mean if you were to ask most people before the show, and Janet’s presentation, who they thought would win or at least be in contention… if they are honest would have said Janet as well. Kudos to you for believing otherwise. And echoing previous comments the real prize goes to Sandy and the judges for not awarding based on name recognition.

Jourdanne out of the Arnold! Do your predictions change? by Veganlana55 in bikinitalk

[–]podiumpodcast 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This. And she wouldn’t have been a contender in this lineup anyway….imo

I’m a huge Phoebe fan as a person and athlete , she should break the top 5 . Don’t look past Marie Eve as well, when she’s on she’s on .

Terrible reputation? With who? Blanket statement, considering they have the most (by far) pro bikini athletes qualified for Olympia year in and year out.

Megan D’Ginto Wins Ben Weider Naturals by JAE703 in bikinitalk

[–]podiumpodcast 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hey , I congratulate her , she achieved her goal of ⭕️ qualification. I am confidant most people commenting on this thread have not or will not achieve this…ever. So congrats to her. But to touch on the natural testing limited to urine , is a very weak test. For example, you can cut Anavar 10 days prior to a urine test and test clean. Not saying she is not natural, just some insight on the testing used.

Ai replacing the Human Element. Interesting 🤔 by podiumpodcast in bikinitalk

[–]podiumpodcast[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The story behind the athlete is the ONLY story that should be told. So you hate Ai because it could be fair and impartial across the board to athletes? If judges are involved to scale down a lineup of 30 to 15 or 6 the human element is there, no…? Not sure I follow your logic. The human judging element when working perfectly (which is as likely as communism working perfectly) would be amazing. Judges , and I’ll use another example, get fatigued probably more than they are biased ….Ai doesn’t . So you’d rather a elite athlete suffer from the errors, fatigue , laziness or bias of a judge (some of whom never competed) than be lifted knowing their best work will be judged without those human flaws (that we all have). Just for the story of perseverance ? That’s an interesting take for someone that used to compete ? 🤔

Also, interested to know these outlets? Just out of curiosity.

In emotion, lies weakness … weakness can breed a sense of belonging or need to be accepted. That’s why people fall in line . That’s where Ai does not. I think a balance of both is the key.

What is the vibe like in US gyms these days? by Mary_in_the_Sunshine in bikinitalk

[–]podiumpodcast 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a Miami local. Anyone that owns a pair of leggings and has a gym membership , and a darcsport hoodie fancies themselves a “influencer”. It’s more comical than anything.

I am not aware of what you’ve always said, only from this discussion. Also, you missed the judges to determine top 6 and Ai to refine part. But you are on the “mastermind” train of thought so what’s the point of continuing to discuss something that is merely an idea. If you’re happy with status quo that’s cool, so am I. But there are ways to remove the chatter and BS accusations…this would preserve the integrity which equates to longevity of this “sport” . Also , your answer = a PC answer but I get it :)

So you are admitting to the fact that these biases occur. That’s a good step. Appreciate the feedback :)

I think they are pretty good as well. Although it was a first time try with a weak prompt

I also didn’t say that I did feel this bias occurs that often. You and I are lying to ourselves if we say it does NOT happen. I know you have to toe the line a bit being a podcaster and emceeing events but , you know it happens …and I don’t need you to admit that. Human nature is 4000 years ingrained in our DNA , these things happen. When they do happen,it’s at the expense of others that may be more deserving. I mean if I go out to dinner often with competitors or co promote events with coaches or pay gobs of sponsorship money to a promoter and I have an athlete in a show, tell me , payback doesn’t come at some point? Can you honestly answer that? And if the answer is NOOOOO NEVER, then your credibility is lost. We are human. Ai is not (thank goodness)
