2022 Olympia PPV link, predictions and discussion

[w8tlifterty]

Lol I agree but it felt especially bad last night - the amount of times they were ready to give an award and the presenter was nowhere to be found. Just fucking crickets while the competitors gotta stand there fake smiling and posing - so fucking awkward…

And this takes place at the grand slam of events lol. This is the IFBB Super Bowl and this shit is just painful to watch.

Fuckin’ bodybuilders man

What I don’t understand with the whole competition/show is why they don’t have comparisons that have nothing to do with the end result yet still appeal to the people who generate revenue. Like have Nick Walker compared to Blessing. Or put Kris’s next to Ian or people he beefed with; comparisons to generate a buzz and fun.

Because they had 400 people qualified and the show would last until 3 AM if they did that.

Lol it did on the east coast. I was up till 3 eating gummies watching the entire thing. Didn’t wake up until 5pm today .

Makes sense. That’s why they don’t do it. But they should plan to have the opens at a reasonable time and allow for crowd pleasing call outs. Especially if that’s what draws in the fans, discussion and therefore revenue.

I just watched Andrew Jacked again. He’s my front runner for next year. Dude is absolutely insane.

Yeah. He made Bonac look like a child next to him at the press conference.

This Jake Wood dude seems like a mega weirdo

The promoters really need to get their shit together. Prejudging ended last night at 3 AM EST.
ITS 1:10 AM now and I’m barely awake, waiting for these damn tarts to finish spreading their cheeks so Open final placings can be announced.

Too many classes. I wish they’d keep the cheesecake at the expo and leave what people actually pay to see for the main stage so we did t have to say up all night.

And before anyone chimes in with “what, you don’t like hot girls?”, I’ll say this… Internet porn is free. If your life is so sad that you’re depending on the web to satisfy your desires, at least watch the girls that won’t tease and will actually do.

And after starting 40 minutes late the last thing anyone wanted to hear was Dan Solomon and Jake Wood drone on a la Ben Weider about
“blah-blah-blah-who-gives-a-damn?”.

 

[Aikman56]

It’s weird how they left Ramy off the to side

Since he should place about 4-6, I don’t find it weird at all.

 

[Pheedno]

On to the Hadi, Derrick, Walker future battles with (not so)dark horses Samson and Jacked.
I would doubt we'll see Ramy or Brandon again.

Derek's shape is way better than Hadis. Hadis leg separation,better. I think they gave to Hadi bc he's competitive so many times, in that division. Out of the two ,Derek, all day

Andrew Jacked best structure, height, shape. Kizzo guy insane arms and shoulders. Sampson , shape structure.

Chris Bumstead appearing older. Hairline has receded past few years. Got a small hole in middle of hair, so he has to fight to keep it or it can receded more. That said, his shape and condition, best I've seen him. Best ever seen him.

A popular wellness competitor latina girl ,very popular, took too many androgen hormones , for that division , masculined herself too much. I think they placed her out of top five, for this reason to emphasize for girls, in that division to not masculined themselves that much.

I agree Derek has a far more esthetic and balanced look.
I'm surprised they placed Andrew so low. My eyes kept going to him and Samson the whole time. They are both a different level of freak.
Andrew might have the most impressive front relaxed I've ever seen. Those abs are bonkers.

Andrew Jacked is my favorite look personally, he's a bigger version of Flex Wheeler right now, or the closest ive seen ever.
But im also well aware that Andrew and Samson are like 6'1....so of course our eyes are drawn to them.
If they were both 5'8, not sure....and thats me sayin that as a 6'1 BBer as well.

But i do believe Samson and Andrew will come back next year lookng fuckin nuts. They should be insanely motivated after comin in hotttt this year.

IMO, Derek is a game changer though. He has the Andrew Jacked insane taper look, with the legs and back to match.
Truly insane. In prejudging i couldnt believe my eyes. His waist is soo tight its mind boggling.

 

[Pheedno]

Has anyone seen the lower placings? I haven't been able to find them

 

[Pheedno]

Found it. Posted in the Olympia results thread.

If Andrew comes back next year with improved hammies and lowers his side pose stance he’s going to take the crown without a doubt
