Holy shit

 

[Fleezy]

i think it would be really cool if the Olympia people put together a video presentation depicting all the prior Mr. Olympias of decades past - their lifestyles, and how their years competing helped shape bodybuilding both as a lifestyle, and as a sport


there's quite a bit of source material to pull from each year

Tyler Manion’s official breakdown of the 2025 Mr. Olympia:
Derek Lunsford vs Hadi Choopan

Front Double Biceps — Derek (1-0)
Better taper, bigger legs, less arm detail.
Hadi: diced, but downsized.

Front Lat Spread — Derek (2-0)
Not their best pose, but Derek wins on shape and width.

Side Chest — Derek (3-0)
Rounder shoulders, fuller arms.

Back Double Biceps — Derek (4-0)
Hadi’s dense, but Derek’s back just wider and deeper.

Back Lat Spread — Hadi (4-1)
Finally opens up and shows the thickness.

Side Tricep — Derek (5-1)
Size, roundness, and lower-body advantage.

Abs & Thigh — Hadi (5-2)
Midsection flow and conditioning locked in.

Most Muscular — Hadi (5-3)
Too polished to deny the final pose.

Final Score: Derek Lunsford def. Hadi Choopan 5–3

Out of those 3 physiques, I like Andrew's the best. Just my preference.

This makes you realise how great Ronnie Coleman was

I’m not sure we need Derek Lunsford to realize how great Ronnie was….

As they say…. There are levels to this shit.

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.

Nick continues to write checks his ass can't cash. He's still a top 10 in the world. If I were him I'd take time off from the spring shows and just throw everything into the Olympia. It wasn't too long ago he dropped out of the O as he wasn't responding mentally or physically. Like him or not that you have to respect he took a step back. We don't need another Dallas.

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….

If his name had been anything other than “Nick Walker“ Bob would have been announcing him in eighth place…

You should listen to his VOB podcast with Shawn Ray. After an hour of hearing Shawn run his mouth I try to pretend he knows everything about everything, you’ll be convinced that Bob is the nicest, most reasonable, levelheaded guy in bodybuilding! Perspective is a funny thing…

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.

Go read any of my posts leading up to the Olympia. I absolutely acknowledged that the best ever version of Nick tied with a 90% Derek… And I also said that Derek would beat his butt at the Olympia.

I would say that I get tired of being right, but that would be a lie.

I also love the way that everyone online piled on Mike Israetel and ripped him for having the the temerity to comment on his bad tan, but those very same people are racing to White Knight for Nick, justifying his.

 

[Aikman56]

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?

That’s the one I can’t figure out… In fact, he was on one of the podcasts leading up to the Olympia, saying that he never practiced posing… Almost sounded like he was bragging about it.

If you don't like posing you shouldn't be a bodybuilder! (Not you of course)

I agree! And everyone thought Bob was a douche after that whole thing and it seemed like they sided with Nick. Remember Nick made tee shirts about it too. I think it said “bob who?!” Or something of that nature.

But in the end, Bob was basically right!

Can we talk about what Nick can do to shrink his mid section?
That's gonna be his best option.

 

[Gaintrain]

Just my opinion but the real winner wasn't crowned at the 2025 MR.O

imo i feel like he just needs to downsize just a little bit, being his size and only 5'7" its just not a good look for him anymore, and if he doesn't reign it in it might be ? His demise? or is it already to late?

IIRC didn't Hunter bring his stomach in, at least to be better than it was?

Would you care to share who you thought the champ should have been? No big if not

Hadi was better then Derek also, Derek deserved no higher the 3rd...political garbage as usual as we were all warned of its existence by Lee Priest years ago.....
