I only ended up with a few good pics but this one of Ramy is pretty good. Shows how much better his Saturday conditioning was. Also got a nice photo of Rhoden after the win.

Shanique Grant - 2018 Ms. Physique Olympia!

Shame, we couldn't see Julianna and her together on one stage. It would have been epic.

After studying the videos and photos very carefully, I have concluded that Rhoden should not have won. Yes, he was is superb condition, yes, he has the best structure and lines of anyone in the lineup. But, he is severely lacking in too many areas. His arms are at a local amateur level, his back is far under par. He only wins from the front because of his great structure, small waist, and superb conditioning. But his side shots are pitiful especially the side chest, rear lat spread poor, back double marginal.

I could tell you all why his conditioning was so good, but you'd all laugh at me. So I'd better keep my mouth shut. (I guarantee even Rhoden himself doesn't know why. But he will never win again because of it)

Everybody is happy that Phil was dethroned, but actually even though Phil was off, he was still the most complete guy overall. For once Phil got shafted because the powers above realized that Phil is not doing the sport any favors, and wanted a new champ. Phil is not a bad guy, but unfortunately just doesn't have much charisma....

Yes it is true, his first mr olympia jay was out of 10. Ian is an athlete who has competed a lot this year, but at the same time has improved a lot. I think Vegas is heavier than the race in Spain. a great athlete in my opinion. with a great future in bodybuilding
