it should be interesting as well. This will be Cedric's third show in four weeks, while Kai has had two weeks between contests to ruminate on how he was clearly beat in prejudging. How much, if any, will that mess with his head?

Dancing?
Labrada, Corney, Makawwy, Ray... were they dancing, too? It's called posing. It's part of bodybuilding and it should be scored. Kudos to Arnold.

Do not try to make me sound negative or malicious here Curt. I am not complaining. I am merely pointing out a mistake.
I never said judging the posing was wrong or right either. Again, I just pointed out a mistake.
I feel that given the talk leading up to the show about the posing being scored, this is a very interesting topic. The head judge said that it had no effect, when in fact it had a monumental effect.
Do not act as if the HEAD JUDGE of the 2nd biggest show in our sport being completely wrong about the JUDGING is a "no big deal, who cares" issue. If this is not a big/interesting enough issue to talk about in regards to bodybuilding, than nothing is, and we should just stop every discussion that pertains to this sport.

I was simply making a point, not being literal. If you read my article (or look at the score card) you will see that the posing was not really scored at all beyond Kai and Cedric. Lukas over Freeman by a HUGE margin? Okay....
Also, this discussion is not and never has been about whether or not the posing should or should not be scored. It is about understanding how it effected the show. Very different.

Geoff (is that how you pronounce Jeff? ) melting down in this thread. Dude, posing should be a legitimate scoring mechanism in a bodybuilding contest.
One could argue, that Posing is the most important thing. All IFBB pros at the Olympia and Arnold Classic, have tons of muscle. A great routine (posing, music choice) absolutely can determine a champion.Last edited by Shizzo; 03-15-2016 at 06:14 PM.

You have no idea what the topic of this thread is LOL. I am not arguing against the posing round being scored and I never was (even though every single industry insider and expert besides Peter McGough hates the idea).
I am simply pointing out a mistake made in the understanding of how the 2016 Arnold Classic was judged. At no point was this post about whether or not the round SHOULD be judged. Read the whole thing before you say anything else so foolish.

I actually want to suggest a topic for the next Olympia meeting. Athletes should submit posing routine songs in advance, and the highest ranked bodybuilder (currently) gets first choice.
Nobody wants to hear the same posing song repeated constantly (#The Weekend)
This should be an important topic. There should not be any duplicate posing songs.

they shouldn't count the posing if they can't get rid of the guts. Kai looked 6 months in prejudge. Personally I thought his routine was really good but is Fred smalls gonna win the pose round and be a legit Arnold Ohio contender cause he HAS to win the pose round crowd goes ballistic whenever he poses

Chris, did you realize that Kai beat Cedric solely because of the posing round according to the scorecard? That is what this thread is really about. Steve said Kai would have won without the posing round, but that is not true at all. Unless the card was mislabeled, which I doubt.
Cedric wins 14 to 16 without the posing round. Also... Kai was the only guy in the whole show who moved up with his posing routine, the only one. Talk about some more Cedric controversy...
