cheers mate, I’m glad my two favourites took second and third
You just have to hand it to Dexter… He is quietly earning the title of hardest working man in body building.
Dude was just in his 16th Olympia and has placed top 10 in every single one, winning one of them and coming in top 6 tons of times. Always shows up crisp and never seemed to fall into the failings of modern body building ( the guts, mass as the expense of everything else, still has great lines)

Had he won it I would have voiced no objections at all. Heath’s back and midsection improved over last year and that’s what nailed it for him, I think.
Wolf should have been third though, he was robbed. And how did Branch beat Winklaar? this sport needs a change real bad.

Roelly had zero control over his gut. Branch was far better conditioned and the legs.
Hard to look at branch though. His shape, that lat…
I would have been quite happy with Dex taking the Sandow.
Also, there’s no way in hell Branch Warren deserved anything higher than 10th place.
Horrible physique, awfully awkward posing, grunting, thigh-slapping, fist-pumping, hand to the ear bullshit.
I just watched the video of Phil Heath pre Olympia answering questions regarding Kai.
At the end, I thought it was wildly inappropriate for the President to make that remark. Dude runs the entire sport, and makes a comment like that?
Just goes to show the politics of it. IMO
I would say the way that both Bob CHic and Dennis James seemed to have the go-ahead to ridicule Kai suggests that he has really burned his bridges with the IFBB…
