Is Curry an underrated Mr. O?

[Biggerp73]

Sure, his separation, condition, and lower body leaves something to be desired. But his sillouette is pretty majestic in some of these poses.

 

[Butters]

i guess we will be finding out shortly.

Honestly, as much as I like his personality, work ethic and many other things about him, I kinda feel he's an overrated Mr O. Dude has absolutely asinine thickness and has made some big improvements but I don't look at him and think 'Mr Olympia'

Then again I've had that opinion ever since Coleman and Heath raised the bar

 

[TheOtherOne55]

Underrated IMO.

His shape is insane and we have just forgotten. Throw him in a lineup of Flex Wheeler and Chris Cormier and he can stand right with them in terms of insane shape and look. But I fully agree that we've grown accustomed to Phil and its hard to get him out of our heads.

Phil vs Curry will be a great matchup. I watched Fouad and JM talk and JM had it dead on, its Phil's waist vs Curry's legs. Brandon has a superior V taper but if he brings in his leg separation, it will be a coin flip. We KNOW phil is coming in hot.

I'm gonna say he's underrated. He's got some great body parts for sure.

 

[Cito33189]

He’s not impressive. When I think of mr. Olympia I don’t think of him.
I rather have dexter Jackson win then Brandon curry.

Phil Heath is a beast and his physique is my ultimate favorite. His arms are fucking awesome.

He was the best bodybuilder on that day. He deserves to be Mr. olympia

Siiiiiiick!!!!!

I have a love hate with him. His hams and glutes are not Mr.O body parts. He has a fantastic physique otherwise. I really like his personality though and think he is a great ambassador. I really hope he beats Phil.

 

[Bandy0974]

Holy crap! I remember when he first came on the scene quite a few years back and he had nice symmetry but now...huge and conditioned.

 

[finephysique]

I had never heard of him but that picture doesn’t scream MrOlympia to me when I think of the great mr Olympias.

 

[madg]

He is good ambasador for the sport but i am not fan of his physique

For me you cant be MRO when even one muscle group is lagging

Curry has no legs , rhoden no arms ...

I not like Heath as a person but IF he comes with no gut he will destroy curry

@madg

Every winner of the contest had a fault in one way or another. The judges declared the winner based on the best overall package on that particular day and more than a few times even that was questionable.

 

[Dugbet]

Curry's best look was in the 2019 Arnold, more balance between the upper and lower body, in the Olympia his legs were below because he absolutely filled his upper part.

I think Hadi had a more complete package but Currry has beautiful lines.

I never liked Heath, I never saw him as a Mister Olympia, on the other hand, Wolf did look like the king on occasion, also Ramy.

I was happy when Rhoden beated Heath, I don't dislike Curry but I'm not an absolute fan either. I would like to see Rhoden back, I think he would beat Curry.

 

[tren_plz]

He didnt beat Phil in a single pose IMO.

He's a shape/structure guy. CRAZY V taper. Zero freak factor and his legs are severely lacking for a Mr. O. - But hey wtf do i know /shrug

 

[Dugbet]

He didnt beat Phil in a single pose IMO.

Curry is much better in front doble biceps, front lat spread and abdominal & thigs poses. In fact, almost every top 5 at the Olympia are better than Phil in some or all of those poses.

 

[Big A]

He's missing the "it" factor that virtually every Mr Olympia winner has.

 

[PYGMY]

I feel like he’s missing something needed to be Mr O. Not necessarily undeserving. But there’s room for improvement before reaching that level.

That being said, I’ve never been a big fan of Phil. I look at his amateur pics and think the guy looks fucking amazing but he lost that as he grew into a pro in my humble opinion.

Guess thats why BB is subjective. The only pose i'd even give him a chance there would be Ab & Thigh and thats just because of Phil's hernia. We'll see in a week though.
