Samson is so huge onstage, he makes Hadi and Derek look like dwarves. Mighty Dwarves, but still dwarves. All of his strengths might be enough to let a guy who maybe doesn't have the best conditioning, but still has the best blend of everything including height and 50 lbs muscle weight advantage with the smallest waist in the front double.... just sayin, don't be surprised if he wins it.

Remember a certain crazy conditioned Clarida getting dethroned yesterday by someone who might not be the hardest condition, or more thin skinned, but still a better blend of everything altogether??? Crazy stuff like this happens!

Claridia was not his best by far, Samson is huge but pound for pound he gets thrashed by Derek and Hadi. He looks great he absolutely will not win this year though. He needs another 20lbs to beat the “dwarves”. Hadi wont be around forever now but Derek has years left.

I personally have 1:Hadi, 2: Derek, 3. Samson (based on pre-judging but I don't think ANYTHING is decided yet and its going to come down to who improves/does not fade coming into tonight. )

BUT
when I watch non-live stream videos I see much better conditioning on Samson that the live stream shows. Now I would expect this to be the case for the other two but I bring it up to emphasize that unless you are there you are never really sure about these guys and gals condition.

Samson does look better here. What the hell is the live stream being filmed with a potato phone?!

Weird how all these bodybuilders get ‘food poisoning’ right before a show

It’s like they’re eating raw meat or something lol

honestly, I got it twice in 3 shows. I'm just a nobody. I dont know if I'm more susceptible to it the closer I get to the final stages or just really bad luck. Oddly enough, I read somewhere in the hospital something (bear w me I was wanting to blow my brains out even on dilaudid) about food poisoning symptoms can sometimes present themselves when there are heart-related issues going on. Aka some heart related issues can show as food poisoning symptoms. This was posted somewhere in a Cleveland Clinic doctor's office.
I do not know anymore than that but me and my GF were both like "hmmm" because this last time (I was not competing- on vacation) I was in the ER and they found heart issues while treating Noro Virus/ Sepsis/ E-coli sickness. It was hands down the worst one by far. Anyway, I will see if I can find any documents on this to share. Give me a day or so to look through everything.

I have heard of this as well, heart issues can show as digestion issues

I would say more likely it’s just due to an extensive period of very restrictive dietary intake (potentially messing with the microbiome to a degree) and high stress, putting you in a compromised positioning.
