Fuckkkkk Andrew looked sick. Can’t wait to see him next to Nick, Derek and Hadi at The O.
Seriously?I definitely like his build the best our other Olympia competitors but I don't see him breaking into the top three. Derek , Hadi and Samson are just mutants.
2024 Olympia-qualified men's open bodybuilders per https://www.ifbbpro.com/olympia-qualified-athletes/:He is going to give Samson a run for his money if he brings that size and fullness with a bit sharper conditioning to the O.
You have to look to even realize there are two other guys on the stage with him. Extremely impressive.
One thing is for sure- we have one stacked O this year. There’s a LOT of good guys at the top right now.

Don’t know if he’ll break top 10 but super impressive what Jewett has done over the last year jumping from 2122024 Olympia-qualified men's open bodybuilders per https://www.ifbbpro.com/olympia-qualified-athletes/:

True story. (Bolded)He is going to give Samson a run for his money if he brings that size and fullness with a bit sharper conditioning to the O.

Samson is kinda overatted. Average back, average conditioning. No bicep peaks, no detail in his arms in the front double. I could see Jacked and Nick beating him.I definitely like his build the best our other Olympia competitors but I don't see him breaking into the top three. Derek , Hadi and Samson are just mutants.
Would require him to get his Visa which he has constantly had issues with.Also, Bayrooz is a darkhorse. I could see him placing in the top 3.
Why they Hadi in and not Behrooz? Both are from the same country that wants to annihilate us lol.Would require him to get his Visa which he has constantly had issues with.
I honestly don’t know the details, but from my barber again (she’s from there and still has family there)- they are on different levels of influence. Hadi apparently has a lot of pull and power over there.Why they Hadi in and not Behrooz? Both are from the same country that wants to annihilate us lol.
It's stupid to even have these guys on stage next to each other. You can't compare a guy who's 6'2" to a guy that's 5'5".I definitely like his build the best our other Olympia competitors but I don't see him breaking into the top three. Derek , Hadi and Samson are just mutants.
I don’t necessarily disagree but having said that the short guys have won the last few years so they obviously aren’t at a disadvantage in the judges eyes…It's stupid to even have these guys on stage next to each other. You can't compare a guy who's 6'2" to a guy that's 5'5".
Instead of having a 212 division, the IFBB should have a 5'8" and under division
No, I actually think short guys have an advantage in mens open. It's much easier to fill out a short frame.I don’t necessarily disagree but having said that the short guys have won the last few years so they obviously aren’t at a disadvantage in the judges eyes…
