Ramy is looking like Mr. Olympia. Of course it won't go that way
I've heard that Phil is one of those guys like Levrone that barely takes anything off season and shrinks down then grows into the show and turns into a freak.
From what I can tell, all the top pros that only compete once per year get really small right about this time. This is how they re-sensitize themselves before they "grow into" their Olympia diet.

I would guess the "off" period is pretty soon after the Olympia? This doesn't look like off to me, real bloated and hardly small. Maybe off for a few weeks after the O, then a couple of "medium" cycles and then all out for the O prep. What do you think?
I think the off season for someone like Phil is determined by whether he and his advisors feel there is anyone who is a real threat. Right now he knows he doesn't need to grow anymore really, he comes in conditioned and he wins. Kai is maxed etc. Who could beat him? Only Kai and only if Phil comes in worse than the year before.
You blind? Ramy and Wolf are both threats!

If Ramy could achieve Phils conditioning he would win

I can see quite well! He beats Phil here.
Thing is, it doesn't matter at the O, his "ranking" has been determined already, unfortunately. He couldn't even beat Jay, which he damn well should have. For Ramy to be a threat he needs some dramatic improvement to change the ranking he has been given. He needs to be much harder while being even a bit bigger. Problem is his conditioning was quite good already, people say it wasn't but he was right there wrt conditioning IMO, so it will be tough (probably not happening).
Wolf simply isn't a threat to Phil in any way. You can have poor claves as a Mr O, but not as poor as Wolf, no way... there is NO calf muscle on one leg. He canät use SEO (would have done it already if it worked).
Phil right now has no real challenger except Kai, provided he doesn't mess up his conditioning. If he looks like last year he wins most likely. Wolf and Ramy can't beat him in last years shape.
