Derek should lose points over this. Look how Andrew tells him to step behind the line and Derek smiles at him like a chihuahua. I can't stand this guy.

Derek reminds me of a wannabe mark wahlberg tough guy from the 90’s. When markie mark tried to be a hip hop rap artist guys such a cornball

That’s where he belonged… Brandon and Tonio were both better than him on the day… Both days, in fact.

I tried to watch some of it but those fat looking faces big guts and blurred muscles. No one looked grainy and if they were in ok shape they had body parts that were obviously full of that nasty looking oil. Hadis shoulders and derricks arms wtf? They shouldn’t even place or be disqualified. If you use that stuff and you can’t tell more power to you. But it looks like shit. I’m only talking about the open guys. I saw guys in other divisions that looked great.

I was watching a video today of Nick hitting legs and he has a very strange squat pattern which explains his quads. He has an extreme outward angle of the feet almost like a duck and clearly shifts a lot of load off the quad onto the adductor. And you see he really pushes the knees out as opposed to them tracking straight knee over toe which would be more quad. I think he needs to fix his mechanics if he wants to improve the quads

When I look at Nick and Derek both of there legs are like 60% adductor mass and 40% quad tucked down low compared to Ronnie Coleman as an extreme example of just a huge quadriceps muscle. When Derek and Nick pose their legs and feet are externally rotated like 45 degrees from straight while when you would see Ronnie pose he ofter had feet and knee cap pointed forward and still had huge looking legs as it was just huge quads. This really makes Nicks and Dereks legs look fugly.

What do you guys think about this? Looks like Marty may have peaked better last year?

Being better from the front doesn't mean they were better overall. He still beat them from the side and embaressed then from the back.

I preferred his look last year. They said it was intentional though to come in fuller.

Reports that Key's lock on first were on doubt were overblown

Shaun looked improved and may have pushed Keone, but he just kind of looks like a mess of body parts smashed together. I don't see how anyone could think he should have won. No disrespect meant there though.

That said I am pretty sure Lobliner had the surgery where the pull the abs together and sew that gap shut without any aesthetic damage. No idea if he would entertain that, but it could be an option?

I saw this comparison on Reddit.

Well, that’s the wonderful thing about a subjective endeavor like bodybuilding. We can both be right. But the majority of folks who actually comment on and have followed the sport and understand it agree with me.

He didn’t embarrass anyone. Maybe himself when he let that stomach go… Bigger is not better… Both of those guys beat his ass and took his lunch money.

The only one he embarrassed is HIMSELF.
lol sorry but you have to call it as it is.
When you come out and say “I’m confident I’ll be Mr Olympia Saturday night.”
Then finish 6th place, that’s pretty embarrassing.
And then add in all the shit talking between him and bob where he said bob will be announcing him as the winner….

The funny thing was that whole bullshit with Bob. Bob is still an asshole, but there might be something to the fact that he was been watching competitive bodybuilders at the highest level for what 30 years? He might at least know what he is talking about when it comes the sport, despite being a penis.

I don't know but you guys act like he didn't tie Derek at Pittsburgh. This Olympia he wasn't conditioned enough, had a bad tan at prejudging (bad execuse I know), and he came in 10 pounds heavier, he looked better from the back with the added weight, but he destroyed his midsection and paid the price.

Based on what was reported about the feedback him "losing" to Derek was implying midsection control.

Why not bring the exact same package, maybe a bit leaner, and just focus the absolute fuck on keeping that mid tight all night? That Derek package was no different than his Pitt package. Why mess with what work d. You didn't lose because of variables such as size, condition, missed peak, he only lost for relaxing his abs to much in transition. Just do the exact same thing and be tight?
