Levrone and Yates are not talking about the lower guys, the video I posted is Levrone talking about the 2011 Arnold. I can’t find the Yates video ATM, but it was him and Levrone talking about the 2012 or 11 Olympia.

I don’t think it’s a conditioning thing, their glutes are still coming in feathered, that is saying they are lean.
The issue is their midsections areenormous to support their crazy mass and the Olympia judges don’t give two tosses about the size of their guts as long as the skin over the top is thin.
In Olympia tradition, the leaks are coming and Kai Greene looks nuts 3 weeks out. Looks bigger than ever, especially in the back and legs and is probably already in better condition than he has taken the stage at the Oly.
Phil will need to bring his best IMO.

No he won’t, he didn’t last year and his victory was easy.
Unless Phil shows up with missing appendages he is going to win.

Kai wasn’t his best last year.
Outside of a total disaster, Kai is bringing his best package this year, by a way.
You need to knock out the champ to win, twice. Phil will need to bring closer to 2013 Phil (his best) that 2014.
Against Kai is that bad performances seem to drive Phil. 2013 came off the back of nearly losing. I think last year stung him badly (and has sent him a bit batty)
anybody have recent pictures of the top guys?
Big Ramy.
In the face at least Wolf already looking very lean at 8 weeks out…
Big bad wolf has too many flaws which sucks because his most muscular pose is pure insanity. Will likely get third.
Have seen nothing from Phil but that picture of Kai must make him a bit nervous if he’s looking anything like 2014 - grape fruit, big house or not.

not recent… but whatever.
mirror shots (and solo shots) are completely meaningless…
pics leading up to the contest really don’t give any solid indication of how anyone will place…
but im sure you all knew that
be nice if Kai finally got a win, but really the only interesting things about the O these days are who’ll get 3rd and what Big Ramy’ll come in looking like.

Just like a team sheet is meaningless or that someone scored 40 points in the last outing but it’s still fun to discuss.
Keen to see what condition they come in. Hopefully we get some grainy looks.
