Show Day - Legacy Matters 

You gotta have a guy willing to be honest and critical. Hopefully he was more honest with you off camera.

Coaches should have known about the posing changes and they should have been able to tell you the abs weren’t popping straight away. You deserve real feedback

The fact that you spent time with your fans and the kids after the placing your no always happy with makes you a true champion of the sport! Your are the people’s champ !

The yes men are doing you no good, brother!!

Dude you need coach Kyle. You have the confidence and knowledge to easily win. You just need someone who isn't scared to tell you how it is.

I never comment, but you’re a hell of a man, to talk to everyone, take pictures, and be nice to everyone, when u probably just want to be left alone. You’re the 🐐 brother!!

Sadik my bro, I don't know if you're gonna ever read this comment but just in case you ever do I wanna tell you a couple of things. I've been hooked on your content for about a year. I'm from the other side of the pond, UK. Just some of the things which you have done for me: 1. You inspired me to lose around 35 KG so far (another 10 to go). 2. You've taught me a lot about my own body, nutrition, weight-lifting and life. 3. Times I'm about to order a pizza or miss the gym, I've watched a video old or new and I've eaten my chicken and rice without a fuss or I've gotten up and hit the gym. 4. I recently failed a major examination for my work qualification and after seeing how you have dealt with this disappointment, I've booked another test date, currently studying the feedback I received and I know I'll be back and smash the examination now (in a weeks time). 5. You've taught me some values which I will never forget. Things like discipline, handwork, attention to detail and so on. From the bottom of my heart, I wanna thank you for changing me and for impacting the lives of many people who were in different positions before than they are now. You, sir, are a sensation and a gift which does not stop giving. And now finally, I want to return your favour and give you some advice. this advice is basically what I have learnt from you. so I'm only just reminding you of what you would say to yourself. Get up, Get going, and Get it! It is all you. You made this and you will continue to make it. Focus on the next one and we're all behind you. You have your feedback, work to nail everything and in two weeks you'll have a minimum of 404k + your Mrs + your beautiful kids + your mom + all those other people in your life congratulating you because you will take top spot. I know it and you know it. LET'S GOOOOOO CHAMP!

If I can offer any piece of advice , I would say you should talk to Ryan terry . He had the exact same issues , with the exact same showings and ended up winning the Olympia after his adjustments . I think he can really be of help , especially the posing . I believe you can easily win . Just keep your head up brother ! The end of the video is so wholesome ! You’re awesome honestly . God bless you and your family

I dont want to be mean, Sadik. But I feel you’re surrounded by yes-men. Your coaches keep telling you everything is perfect, but it wasnt. Personally, I think you neglected the midsection part a bit. You need great abs to be in men’s physique, and I do think you have them, based on earlier shows i saw you in. But you need to properly pose and contract the abs. It was a huge missing point during the show. You spilled over a bit, which was also a contributing factor

You have to respect how professional he is with his fans after losing

Accept that you failed miserably and need a new coach. This loss will make your victory that much better. On a positive, this video and your personality is amazing. Thank you for sharing.

You are a champion father and you are married to a champion wife. Life is great. Great video.

First of all that coach is outdated more than anything else. Your coach He kept freezing up when it came down to telling you the truth and you called him on that.good job. No wonder you doubt his opinion. If you'd listen everything he said you'd been 10th not 6th. But I'm 35 about same age as you. I watched you since 2013 at the Mr Olympia and I think You already got the best title that can be achieved and that's longevity and staying at the top is more important than be #1 at each show. Your growing your channel and staying relevant in the fitness community. Keep it up man!

coming home to a beautiful wife and kids that love you is better than any hardware or win. You are truly blessed. You will be back stronger!!

No way he should of been having cheese cake this close to the show

The other guys abs are soooo much better. Those cheat meals really fucking hurt.

This video and your reaction to your placing is what makes you such a loved athlete.

All I can say is thank you for the nerve and courage It takes to be this transparent all throughout the process, including the show and after. Blessing to you and your family.

the way you had to close your eyes when talking to your little boy cause you wanted to fight back the tears of pure love is the reason I follow you man. you are a great father.

From mininute 13:15-16:13 is what I love to see! Raw content of a true competitor that wants to hear nothing but the truth in order to improve. You don't see this type of footage in any other comp videos. I love this from Sadik. He is a legend! He is definitely an OG that will go noticed forever in the community

Massive respect for handling the loss like a true champ. Best of luck in Tampa!

This sport has evolved in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Sadik was every bit as huge, shredded and composed as those other guys. But I’m just an old school Long Island meathead. This sport comes down to the smallest of movements and poses. This dude has NOTHING to be ashamed of! Especially after a 7 year layoff! Good job, dude!💪🏻

I'd be getting a new coach - He couldn't give you any constructive criticism at all, even when you were asking for it.. having a "yes man" as a coach or friend that gives you no accountability is always going to end in this result. Chin up champ and get back to work 💯

Never lose bro, you either win or you learn. You got this.

Congrats! I know it wasn’t the result you wanted, but you’ve already won with that amazing family who FaceTimed you! Looking forward to seeing you in two weeks at your next show!

crazy is he looked wayyyyy better taking photos with fans after than on stage! Goes to show how timing food is critical

At 10:27, The fact your trainer said there is no issue with an unconvincing straight face and saying your perfect when there is no perfect

Your mentality is right Sadik, It's your squad that is holding you down bro. Change them and you will win, They will focus on the weak points. Then you will be perfect for real!

Hire a coach that UNDERSTANDS men’s physique if you’re going to carry on in the division. Classic is for you!!

Sadik you are a true champion. Fan of yours since 2015 and regardless of your placing you stayed and spent time with your fans that speak volumes to the public. I believe this a lesson to help teach you for Tampa and Olympia. You are a champion in my eyes all around.

I still think you are a great competitor and awesome embassador taking a picture with your fans and letting them wear your medal is priceless to that kid cool. Anyone can have a bad day. Keep up the good work

Sadik, you were in your best physical condition the week before, I saw you as the clear winner, you looked amazing like never before. I think the failure was the last week of preparation. Much love, great champion, you continue to inspire me to train and always be better.💪❤️

It’s never a loss, only way is up. Sadik looks like and is living a life most can only dream of

Thank you for being so transparent and showing true feeling after pre-judging. It shows true character. Best of luck in your next show

Compete in Tampa in two weeks and win! Champion mindset! You’ve got everything, just some adjustments can’t wait to see you nail it Sadik!! I’ve enjoyed watching your journey we’re all out here rooting for you!!!

Not going to lie, this video is an eye opener! Seeing the vulnerability and raw emotion shows how difficult this sport is and the sacrifice it takes to be on that stage. It doesnt matter if you're a pro or an amateur, after doing all it takes to get on that stage, anything less than achieving what you're personal goal is, is painful! So even though it hurts brotha, its not a loss, you won by making it on that stage!! This is just an opportunity to learn and grow. We're all rooting for you! ✊🏾

Dialing it in is no joke. Just recalibrate and stay focused on the process.

Sadik, The real medals & wins are coming home to Family! You work hard & I remember seeing you at FitExpo 19 in San Jose, You seem to be in a much better place surrounded by Family, proud of you, hope to see you continuing growing.

Your coach and everyone around you are yes men. Hire a coach you trust and don't negotiate a thing. Terrible. Also noone at the O loads with burger and fries. Gotta move with the times this coach isn't telling you what you need to hear/he doesn't know any better. You can do this man but you must do what's right.

I guarantee that you inspired all the medals. Your work has motivated the next gen not even on stage yet. Your honesty will be appreciated 🙏

You had the best shoulder to waist ratio on stage. However, your mid section was weaker. I would recommend finding another nutritionist

It's so awesome of you to take pics with the fans and be a role model to the youth! They need more guys like you to look up to now more than ever!! Keep it up bro!

This sucks Sadik! No words from us telling you otherwise will change how you must feel! But remember you never lose, you win or you learn! Thank you for what in my opinion is the best docuseries I’ve ever watched! I am 42 and you have motivated me more than what could imagine! Now keep your head up champ and keep going!

Very blessed and honoured to see the whole story, ups and downs. Your mental strength is insane and I'm also currently prepping for an amateur show in Shanghai and your videos absolutely motivate me even harder. Cheers for the update.

You can do it lets go tampa❤now or never!!!

you got the next show.. I hope u dont give up cause ur almost there again!! love from Halifax Canada!

This is a prime example of how the people around you can lift you up or, unfortunately in this case, bring you down. You did not lose this competition; they did.

Love the videos brother - always cheering for you!

Sometimes we need people to not sugar coat anything we don’t need someone to telling us “you are perfect you did nothing wrong “ definitely he’s not the coach this men needs just saying

You can tell Sadik is a good dad. His family really loves and supports him. Thats a first place trophy in itself.

Stay focused, stay strong brother! You’re a champ!

Going back home and your family is there waiting for you. That's a win right there. You may have lost but you live to fight another day

Time to hire Cutz.

Sup brother you're a winner and if this means anything thing you made me get sober and tell myself that 37 is not old and started working out and get into shape love you brother fuck the haters

Get yourself a new coach Sadik ... one that knows about posing and diet. And if you want to be a standout in that sport, work on your triceps.

Bro, thank you so much for putting my son in your video, you should’ve seen the smile on his face !!! Great meeting you in Chicago ; you’re DA MAN!!! 2024Tampa Pro champ!!! Go get it champ!!!

Sadik is way bigger then everyone else! If you can lock in the conditioning, no spill over and get the better posing down. He’s going to walk through everybody. He looks like a giant compared to everybody else.

Been following you since the first 2013 Olympia & your Arnold Classic win! You're still an inspiration to me (especially me being close to your age at 35) & so many others! Keep your head up man 💪🏻💪🏻

Make the adjustments.. You can still pull it off in the next show. Showing us your prep throughout this whole process has been an incredible journey to watch. Good luck I'm rooting for you!

Sadik you the man brother i respect you hopefully in two u will get that

These new mens physique guys are a different breed now any days.. the games changed.. Love the affirmations with your son

Trust the process brother and as long as you have your family’s love it’s all worth it . Let’s get back to it and win this Tampa show . Bless up bro you got this 🙏🏽💪🏽💫👁️

Gonna make that win in Tampa even more sweet 🥇💪

They say real fun being in a movie when hero's start struggling.I am enjoying watching this video and looking forward to his next steps.

Learn from it and bounce back stronger 💪

I know it sucks, but this is next level content. Great video. I’ m here for the journey

2 coaches from Temu. 1 fat and another who checks in by zoom.

It's been more than a decade as you introduced men's physique to me, every single day I lived as your fan and pray for your success. I hope you rock in the next show.

Sadik got one of the most top tier genetics. Top tier mentality, but some of the worst coaching I’ve ever seen. Good work brother, you got tampa

“There’s gotta be something” “no everything is perfect” yes time for a new coach

I’m no expert however pushing fullness with the dirty meal night before in a division such as physique where conditioning is literally everything isn’t a decision I’d make personally.

Bro Sadik is a huge inspiration! Been following since day 1

Rooting for you to win tampa- love the mindset champ 🎉

IF YOU CAN PLEASE GIVE CAHCE TO HANY PLEASE

Sadie, you may have places 6th, but damn bro you're a #1 family man. The love you show your wife and kid are out of this world. I strive to be half the father you are. I know it's super cheesy, but you're 100% #1 father to that kid. That boy loves his dad and with how emotional you get just speaking to them, receiving cards from them. That speaks paragraphs, good father. Keep on keeping on.

You need to stick to your diet, never seen anyone ask for chips and a burger before jumping on stage lol. I think you need to see Hany Rambod

I feel like he has the size, mid section and core work. He could be there. I am personally impressed by the come back. Most people that come back are way off. New coach, longer off season and a harder prep. I have a good feeling.

Change your coachhhh

Midsection was off. I agree with everyone else you need a better coach. No yes man, no negotiations & loading BS.. All the best sadik.

I think you need to find another coach

Sadik, the people here in Brazil are rooting for you so much and everyone in the world is rooting for you!!!

Gotta cut off the yes men sadik. We all know you can do better

Sometimes losing is a win , There's somethings need to change for preparing to the ⭕️lympia 🔥🔥, We're so proud for you champ👏👏

You need a new coach. End of story 🏆

You know what really matters the effort that you put on , the gratitude that people give to you,the family that you already have .fuck trophy 🏆 or qualification, your are a legend that what matters.thanks for give a chance to be part of that journey champ ❤️❤️❤️

Replace the coach

This video is pure gold🥇

Stop with the cheat meals Stop the Coffee Stop the gaterode Don't carb load if your abs already look like shit Train abs more Get a men's physique posing coach Get a proper men's physique training/dieting coach

Keep going bro don't worry about anything people Say. Just keep going. WE, the fans believe in you

Bro change ur coach

Sadik, you inspire many! stay positive and I love the trueness the reality of how you feel. Thanks for sharing your journey with us and blessings

Bro fix that awkward swinging arm when you hit your first pose..smh looks terrible on stage....

Video started out down....met his fans, saw his family ...video ended up positive af. 💪🏽

He looks like a Mcdonald manager not bodybuilding coach

The part where you spoke to your wife after walking off stage and put a face on for your wife to reassure your good, hit hard af… been there… real af brotha thank you for showing the world that moment. Fix it and win Tampa no reason why you can’t win. God bless🙏🏼

Damn spilled over coach should stop you from eating all that junk

The Wholesome moment with the fans and your family. You’re a Winner in my Eyes Sadik. Read this quote from another MP IFBB PRO mentor I also look up to. -Sometimes, it’s the Competitions you DON’t win that drive you to the next level.

Eating cheesecake before a show that close and not focusing on midsection this prep was crazy to me. Posing a little could’ve been better too. Really rooting for you dude. Just started watching you a couple months ago, you got blessed genetics. Arms, shoulders, back, chest is there. People clowned on me when I commented about the cheat meal, they were defending you, you need get away from the yes men!!! Go to Tampa and get qualified, lock in.

I love the ongoing convos about fullness. The last 48 hours are basically one long convo about fullness. :)

The way you carry yourself, how you treat others, and the way you keep moving forward… that is what makes you a true champion brother! No doubt in my mind we’ll be seeing you on the Olympia stage this year 💪
