Big ramy Dang son.
Sergio is out
Alex Epu Dani Bonchis uite e și Johnnie Jackson la 46 de ani
Charles Larsen
Why is Faried not on the list?
He should compete also!
Levrone isn’t there?
Why would he be ?
Hes planning on comepting after the olympia, the kuait show I think
No.. he’s not going to compete this year. He’s preparing for 2018!
The Big Ramy looks incredible and massive
Come on Josh Lenartowicz!
I think Big Ramy has a shot, his conditioning looks great this year.!This should be an awesome battle between him & Phil Heath. Good Luck to both of them
I’ve never thought Phill 2b anything special I think he just plays the game right , politics , panders 2 the right people etc.
You are absolutely correct Nathan. Politics and a certain image matter in the sport of body building. Tons of better people than Phil, but only time will tell as the sport evolves with new classes and requirements
Lots can change before game day tho. Who knows. Conditioning changes hour to hour at this level.
No he won’t. Ramy’s dominant quads and delts will always throw his proportion off. You can’t beat the champ with such obvious disproportion, a champ that nails his no less.
Depends on Cardio, Training, Macros, and Stress hormone kicking when getting closer to the Olympia.
If you guys think anyone is better than Phil you need to get learned on how judging works. He consistently brings the best overall package, no one will beat him.
Lucky Skosana that was the best, most honest synopsis of Ramy I’ve ever seen. Spot on, my thoughts exactly.
“Tons of people better than Phil”
Go watch crossfit
Thats your own personal opinion Christopher. Last year Phil didn’t look his best and people were already leaving the room as he was giving his speech. Politics play a part.
Phil is elite from the bk. Anyone who knows bb knows shows are win from the back.
Big ramy won’t win until he can speak proper English
Didn’t Ahmah Ashkanani win The 2017 Arnold Classic and he didn’t speak perfect english. That could be the same for Big Ramy at the Olympia iRaheem Fullwood
James Huntley Arnold is a foreigner he has a different perspective. Mr o isn’t
James Huntley You are right, Phil didnt have his best package at all last year. Hell, he was off his game more than anyone. Yet, his placing was a solid numero-uno.
Last year Phil hasn’t bring the best ??? Wtf men, he hasn’t bring his best in 2014, but last year he bring on stage the best package ever, hest maturity of the muscles, the best condition and proportions, but in 2014 he was an easy shot for Kai to beat Phil. Men… better go watch Johny Bravo in Cartoon Network xd
Kumaran Ck
Guess kai has really called it quits. Ramy has a shot this year.
It’s weird. Kai is in amazing shape, did he really turn down mcmanions invitation to compete or is he waiting for a last minute appearance?
Dont know. Pumping iron two, he seemed like he was throwing it around. Maybe last min appearance. Ramy’s lats do lack a little for his size. That will hurt him in judging.
But sergio olivia jr isnt on hes clarified on his instagram
inb4 7 times Mr.O
Big ramy final
#BigRamy2017
Phil
Guess that We Will not see Kai Compete again…
Dexter
where’s Kai Green?
Fucking grapefruits.
Great Wall of China ??
He afraid, that’s why he doesn’t want to compete again hahaha.. How you can prove youself that you are the best if you dont join the olympia stage..i like kai…before
he won the Olympia in the eyes of many. they wouldn’t give it to him because of politics. They favor Phil so why bother??
Humberto Ponce the world’s is flat in the eyes of many…..does that make it any more factual?
Why would Kai , he’s already been robbed at least twice due to politics – ITs a scam
Nah Kai wasn’t. He was disproportioned and no offense but he had a ugly fucking mug dude needs to put a bag over his head maybe then he would win ughhh.
Have you looked in the mirror Richard Anthony? You need more than a bag.
Phil out poses Kai every time…whenever they are side by side Kai looks like he shy’s away while Phil is standing proud
Dennis Reilly Jr the world Is not flat in the eyes of many but in the eyes of a few. Kai won in the eyes of many. Including former Olympians and experts. So your argument is invalid.
Kai destroys Phil in posing. There isn’t a better poser out there that tops the predator. I believe he was robber of a few Olympia titles as well. He can never outrun the grapefruit incident.
Rikki Evans
No kai?
Exactly!
RAMY FTW
Its gonna be between phil and dexter. I felt dexter beat shawn last year
Anyone know how shawn beat dexter last year at 2016 mr. O?
Because he looked pretty damn good. Beat him fair and square
Big ramy!
1 Phil 2 Ramy 3 Roden 4 Cedric 5 Dexter (3-5 are exchangeable) for my top 5 list this year. Sergio may surprise us but I don’t think top 5 this year
Rhoden over Ramy still
Maybe maybe. Its such a close call for 2-5 lol
Dexter will be 3 behind kai ramy 4-5 if he gets conditioned
Kais not in the show this year. I wish he was! Only competition Phil had since Jay but I think he was smart by not accepting… He wasn’t training for shows at all. Would of looked like Bonac did last year
Ramy Rhoden Cedric Heath dexter
Sergio Jr is not going to compete, he’s on the list, but he already said he’s skipping Olympia this year.
The sweep on Ramys legs is amazing
It’s one of his downfalls.
Great legs but way out of proportion, ruins his look
And Flex??
He is doing classic bodybuilding
pero va a estar en el mr olympia?
He’s classic psyhique on Mr Olympia 2017.
Lets get it done Ramy…
1st phil and 2nd Dexter ….these 2 are final, remaining will come in accordingly
McMillan!!!! But I like Big Ramys chances.
Shawn Rhoden looks the best here.. small waist insane asthetics.. hope he brings his best condition to this year’s O.
If there was better emphasis on condition which I think there should after all it’s a bodybuilding comp Dexter would whip everyone’s ass. Best conditioned pro for the last 20 years. Mr consistent. I think Winklar is the most improved pro this year so he should make top 3. William bonac won’t be far away either. I hate to say it but it’s hard to bet against the gift.
Elley Scott did you find out
Not yet
My prediction is that the rigged system will give Phil Heath a total of nine wins before letting someone else take a win.
Think Jason Genova kills theses guys hands down
Nope
Gavin McEwen
Feining
Ramy lookin huge
Always gonna be the biggest but never gonna beat Phil
Hahahaha nah he will go another 2-3 winning I think
top 5 1kai gren if,2 ramy,3 winklar 4 phil heat
Is there any tv or foxtel coverage of the contest
Brodie Mahady
No kai???
Why bother watching
Obviously Phil gunna win
I wanna see Ramy win
Dude is a monster
When’s the competition
14th – 17th September
This list is sh*t without Kai
Don’t know how Heath can even compete with these two guys lol Fat Phil worst Mr. Olympia all time
Ramy looks like a buff Buddha haha
Dexter is king!
Wat about Kai ??
He won’t compete, probably never again bcs of Politic
Bein that big probably makes your dick look tiny
Go Big Ramy!!!
No Dennis Wolf, Branch Warren, Victor Martinez, Kai Green or Kevin Levrone
Ramy’s conditioning is clearly better there (if thats all from the same show) but the IFBB doesnt seem to care abkut that anymore.
De ces trois là, je ne te reconnais pas
Beyeke can easily land in top 5 tho
Yo big ramy all the way
No KG?
KG won’t compete anymore
Alexandros Makris live stresm
Sergio Jr won’t compete, he already said he is skipping Olympia 2017 😉
The competition must be between cedric , roden and rami. the have the best physiques
Paul Evans good luck to your boy Sergio!
Rhoden looks awesome. Def my favorite look on the stage.
What about king kie
Heath looks like he’s holding water
No kai green
Have you lived under a rock, kia jumped ship and is going to compete in dorian Yates super league
Rami looks great! Biggest threat to heath
Rahul Sharma All In for Phil, He is the winner yet again!
The juice is loose
Oliva Jr was never a threat lol
1 phil
2 big ramy
3 bonac
4 cedric
5 dexrer
6 rhoden
No Dallas Mccarver?
Peter Meggetto
Dexter Jackson is amazing.He is 1st for me!
Payam Tatora
Ja, Dallas er ikke med fordi han har valgt å ta pause fra årets Mr. Olympia og fokusere på neste år? Han kvalifiserte seg ikke! Dumt at Sergio Oliva Jr ikke er med og samme med Kevin Levrone!
Hadde ikke fått med meg at Levrone skulle stå over. Rart egentlig, siden det bare var beina som holdt han igjen i fjor
Det har vært klart lenge at Levrone ikke skulle delta, hvorfor det vet jeg ikke! Stiller sikkert neste år, håper det! Tror han trenger 1 år av “godsakene” etter i fjor hvor han gikk fra søppel til beist på 5 måneder?
What about Dallas mac carver??
The steroid boys.
Lots of maybe muscle but no peckers!!
So sad to hear that @dallasmccarver has died today. Respects for his family. 1 minute silence in the #bodybuilding scene.
