MR OLYMPIA (part 1)

ROELLY WINKLAAR: huge freak… tons of muscle. Freaky striated pecs. Striated glutes. Lower back is holding water. Wacky huge triceps… holding a small layer of water on him

JOHNNIE JACKSON: Last Mr Olympia. Great arms… tremendously thick upper body. Good side leg. Lower body from behind is too soft….. Lower lats holding water….

MR OLYMPIA (part 2)

NATHAN DE ASHA: great proportion…… huge pecs, delts and arms. But seems to be holding fluid… lacking grainy detail…. The separation just isn’t there…….but he has some incredible awesome bodyparts

LUKAS OSLADIL: Shredded.. gtlutes are ridiculous…….. shredded. He’s not as big as some of these other Olympians..but he’s got some incredible body control….. and muscle separation




MR OLYMPIA (part 3)

LIONEL BEYEKE: great structure….. so much potential…. But he looks smooth…….dare I say fat? Not sure what happened to Lionel. But all his gifts get nullified when he comes in out of shape.

SHAWN RHODEN: he’s bigger than we’ve ever seen him. Conditioning is good… but his midsection is hanging out a little from front and sides. Quads are striated……his lower back is holding water…… not as sharp as I’ve seen it in the past. Still impressive.

JOSH LENARTOWICZ: holding water…. You can see the outline of a great physique with oodles of muscle…and good shape. He’s a little off. Tremendous most muscular poses…… world killer

CeDRIC MCMILLAN: he’s bigger than we’ve seen him….. very round. Good back double…. Super wide lat spread. Not quite as sharp in the midsection as I’d like to see…… let’s see how he changes as prejudging progresses

JEFF BECKHAM: great poser. Legs are definitely up in size…but conditioning in lower body from behind is soft…….. Beckham’s gotta be super sharp to exploit his gifts.

BIG RAMY ELSSBIAY: humongous quads. Tremendous arms and pecs. Huge lat spread. Great side chest…feathered quads. Glutes are striated… lower back is not as sharp as it should be. It’ll be interesting to see how he stack up against Phil


MR OLYMPIA (part 4)

GERALD WILLIAMS: striated glutes. Nice structure and shape. Good back detail. He did his homework. He’s in shape. …..doesn’t have the size/mass of these other Olympias……..but he’s IN SHAPE (which is better than a lot of the other guys up there)

VICTOR MARTINEZ: good front double. Pecs are looking thick. Good side leg. Glutes/hams can be sharper.. great back but the lower lats are not as shrink wrapped as we’ve seen in the past.

BRANDON CURRY: great size and structure. Conditioning is not perfect but it’s very close…. Glutes are striated. Good quad separation. I think he’ll do well in this lineup

WILLIAM BONAC: best conditioned guy so far… lots of round freaky muscle. Huge arms. Crazy striated glutes. Great back double. Excellent rear lat spread. Freaky most muscular shots.


MR OLYMPIA (part 5)

MICHAEL LOCKETT: tremendous conditioning .. great side poses……..leg drop is super impressive. Most striated glutes onstage. But lower back is flat/holding water? Great muscle shots. Impressive ab-thigh

DEXTER JACKSON: in great shape. Side chest is hard to beat. Freaky back double… excellent back lat spread. Ab-Thigh is not as sharp as we’re used to; stomach is holding a little fluid? Great most muscular

MAXX CHARLES: he’s huge but not conditioned. He looks like he’s about 4 weeks out..

PHIL HEATH: Reigning 6x Mr Olympia…… He’s in shape… Striated glutes…… lights out Back double…….he’ll win the show on that shot. Impressive rear lat spread. I’m not a fan of his midsection from the front….. but he’s got too many weapons to lose today. He should easily win !

MR OLYMPIA 1st CALLOUT

PHIL HEATH
SHAWN RHODEN
BIG RAMY
WILLIAM BONAC
BRANDON CURRY
DEXTER JACKSON

****PHIL and RAMY in the middle.... PHIL is sharper than RAMY............NOW BONAC is in middle with HEATH. I agree with that move. i think BONAC is a solid 2nd. PHIL a solid 1st...... RAMY 3rd, DEXTER 4th

[huge285]

2nd CALLOUT:

NATHAN DEASHA
ROELLY WINKLAAR
SHAWN RHODEN
BRANDON CURRY
JOSH LENARTOWICZ
CEDRIC MCMILLAN

*** This is for 5 and 6th......... I really like NATHAN DEASHA..... judges seem to be favoringg RHODEN and CURRY...... NATHAN moved in middle with CURRY....... I agree. I have NATHAN 5th and CURRY 6th.......ROELLY moved into CURRY position (he may be 6th with CURRY 7th)?....NOW judges have RHODEN in ROELLY's place. let's see what they do! NATHAN really raised his stock tremendously in this Olympia

[huge285]

4th-7th PLACE CALLOUT

DEXTER
SHAWN
NATHAN R
ROELLY

***DEXTER 4th, NATHAN 5th, CURRY 6th....

[huge285]

LAST CALLOUT

PHIL HEATH
BIG RAMY
WILLIAM BONAC

*** HEATH has this wrapped up......HEATH has too much detail. RAMY is huge and impressive but things aren't popping.. I have WILLIAM BONAC a solid 2nd...he's way more dangerous

[huge285]

212 OLYMPIA (part 1)

AHMAD ASHKANANI: Shredded…… …..but holding a film of water….. back is not sharp. And his lack of sharpness is making his lack of leg mass look worse. Not his best.

NAM EUN CHO: Great legs…. But upper body is just too small

[huge285]

212 OLYMPIA (part 2)

SHAUN CLARIDA: packing on a tremendous amount of size.. But he’s not as sharp as we normally see him. He’s gotta watch his midsection as he continues to add size. He doesn’t want to ruin his shape.

RICARDO CORREIA: from UK…… tremendous toolset. Freaky arms and striated pecs. No lower lat mass…… freaky striated glutes. Not his best however

CHARLES DIXON: Freaky mass….. conditioning is excellent.. good back double…but his lower lats are lacking detail and crispness. ….he’s almost too full

[huge285]

212 OLYMPIA (part 3)

DAVID HENRY: David is not as sharp as he was at the ARNOLD. This is not a great look for him.

KIM JUN HO: He’s a little flat…. Nothing is popping like it usually does.

DEREK LUNSFORD: good vacuum pose. Not as sharp as his USA victory or TAMPA Pro win. Holding water… and is very flat. Still has the wacky striated glutes but they lack the POP.

[huge285]

212 OLYMPIA (part 4)

JOSE RAYMOND: great front double. In tremendous shape. Freaky side leg. Striated glutes. This is a much better Jose Raymond. Back is a little flat……but nothing that will detract terribly from his overall look. He’s dangerous

RONNY ROCKEL: Great shape and round muscle bellies. Glutes/hams are not sharp. Back looks a little down in size.

MILAN SADEK: good front double. But he’s very flat……he has trouble making weight. His muscle is just not popping the way we’ve seen in his EUROPA CHARLOTTE win…..

JAMES FLEX LEWIS: Tremendous conditioning…… He’s a tiny bit flat but nothing will touch him in this lineup. FLEX is just too dominant in his poses….and he knows how to show his strengths and hide his weaknesses better than anyone else in the lineup. This should be a battle between FLEX and JOSE the way I see it.

[huge285]

212 OLYMPIA 1st CALLOUT

MILAN SADEK
DAVID HENRY
FLEX LEWIS
JOSE RAYMOND
AHMAD ASHKANANI
DEREK LUNDSFORD

**** FLEX has this easily 1st... ASHKANANI is in the middle with FLEX but I have JOSE RAYMOND a solid 2nd (even winning some of the back shots against FLEX). ASHKANANI 3rd, LUNDSFORD

[huge285]

LAST CALLOUT

AHMAD ASHKANANI
FLEX LEWIS
JOSE RAYMOND
DEREK LUNDSFORD

****I havE FLEX 1st..... JOSE 2nd...ASKKANANI 3rd, LUNDSFORD 4th (JOSE's legs are too much for ASHKANANI's legs in my opinion, even if ASHKANANI has a wider back lat spread)

Excellent job on the coverage. Times have changed I remember when I would find out after the weekend who won the olympia and months later we would get a break down of the competition in the magazines! lol

Did Ramy Do Enough to Win? Prejudging Wrap-Up

8 x Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman, Samir Bannout, and Chad Nichols join Dave Palumbo and Chris Aceto to break down the Saturday night action at the Mr. Olympia competition.

Did Phil Heath leave the door slightly open for someone to threaten his 6-year reign, and, did Big Ramy do enough to establish himself as a serious threat to take Phil Heath's title?

A heated conversation ensues about Ramy's prospects and what transpired tonight in the open class, the 212-division, Classic Physique, and Figure.

Keep it locked to RXMuscle.com, our YouTube Channel, and Instagram (@official_rxmuscle) for the best coverage of the 2017 Mr. Olympia weekend.
