Another great conversation! I think Akim is the guy to beat and I'm just ready to see what changes Quint made and how much of a difference it will make on stage.
John I hope that you read this,Marcus didn't get the full story from the Olympia battle. What actually happened was Derek and Terrick El Guindy were talking off camera and they didn't know there mics were still on and we could all hear,they were discussing how Derek was gifted the Olympia for marketing purposes.
You’re not talking on camera everyone knows his life. Everyone knows the microphone are live. It’s connected to their shirts. If they don’t have a shirt it’s connected to the necklace. No one has a hot mic. 🎤 Jesus Christ.
Samir is spot on, Beastwood has the best body, the best genetics, the best flow, but open is still size and he just isn’t thick enough especially from the side - but if he can fill it out he’ll be Mr Olympia and nobody else in this show has that title within them
Why are people thinking that they don’t know that the mic is on what you fail to realize is Trish is very condescending and sarcastic. Every time he talk to you so he’s messing with you every time he talks to you so that’s what you heard if you don’t know the characters of the people why do you make comments as if you know their character, everyone was just having fun like locker room talk and people just take it all kinds of ways
Yeah it was definitely some friendly - competitive banter going on. I just feel Nick is better at it. The best person for all of this is Terrick. When he's on Olympia TV, his dry humor/sarcasm is hilarious
For God's sake, Nick , Samson and Derek are all at different stages of their prep to compare them against one another. Nick's just a week out from a show so of course he's going to be on a lot better than the others and he played that to his advantage. But give the other guys 5mths and they will sift Nick and his terrible aesthetics for exactly the way they are. Everyone also realises Quintons potential but he has to have the muscle size and density, that's what he was supposed to achieve with his time off. Just looking at his physique at this point, it doesn't appear to be at that place even if he comes to this next show dialled in. Yes his flow is superior but he must have the muscle mass and density. Akim for the easy win if he's close to his Arnold showing
Agreed, Quinton will probably look better this showing, but I don't feel it will be up to par. Gonna have to go and take another year or two and put on some serious tissue. And yeah, Nick is clearly gonna win the physical comp being 2/3 weeks post show but in 19 weeks it will be a different story. Derek will place in front of Nick no doubt.. and as far as in gym intensity goes and range of motion, etc, it was Nick and Samson winning there. I actually really enjoy seeing the Olympia Battles. Looking heck at the classic physique battle, I always thought it was cool to see how every single guy did Chest Flys differently and the same thing with presses.
I honestly couldn't agree with you more. I feel if Hany was there, I think he would've taken the in-gym victory. He had that competitive edge like no other!!!
Are u guys really comparing Akim to Quinto ?? Come on guys I love the show don't make me stop watching lol Quinto is not even at the same lv as Akim.. u talking about years a part EASY. LOL
Lol, I thought I made it clear that Akim and Quint aren't even on the same playing field, I even went as far as saying that Quint could come in at 100%, and he still couldn't beat Akim
Ron teufel to me was worse than hassan. Horrible structure with weaker legs great abs yes but the rest really was mediocre. I agree Hassan is not appealing but to me ron was just as bad
Omg i can't even listen to Samir anymore. Size doesn't matter ? lol. "Diamond calves" lol. Then brings up Mohammed makaway from 1983???? Lmao. Stop dude
Less Samir, more of everyone else. Such an ego-maniac. Everything circles back to him. I'm tired of it. Not as much fun to listen to as it used to be. Please give John a mute button for Samir. 😬
