It’s ironic because only a few years ago, Roelly had one of the worst distended stomachs the Olympia stage has ever seen. Glad he turned it into a strong point.
Yeah if they called out phill as 3rd it would have taken away from rhodens win as they wanted him to dethrone the previous champ and there would have been no suspense at the end lol but I do think as well that Roelly was 2nd
@bruh wow your mom is a bodybuilder I seen your facebook how did your mom get her neck that big its looks like Goro off mortal kombat also what does your dad think being 5'5 and your mom 6'2 that pic you got of your mom walking that mini yorkie is too funny jesus your mom has a big back and huge biceps that dog must be scared as hell
Roelly is something else, and may be better from the front. I do think Phil has a better back and legs, but the amount of muscle Roelly has relative to his height, while still looking conditioned, is insanity. If Phil wasn't the returning champion it may have been different
Roelly just came in super dry. And when you nail conditioning like that you get high marks. If Ramy could come in that dry he would have won last night.
Always! Keep up the great content Nick! Personally speaking your channel is the best for current bodybuilding news and information. Love and respect your unbiased views and opinions on a multitude of bodybuilding subject content. Your young and clearly your passion shows in your work, I hope for a long successful career in bodybuilding analysis for you bud. I belive you could have quite an influential voice in this sport....( LUI who...?) 😂
Roelly is clearly blowing Phil out of the water but they aren't gonna put there main man in third, could even make a good argument for giving first to roelly
During final posedown thats what I was thinking. Roelly looked freaky even before the small waist, now that his waist is good its insane. Roelly 2019 Mr. Olympia you heard it here first.
Jack I completely agree. Roelly might be the freakiest competitor we’ve ever seen along with Ronnie. And now that Roelly has shown he can control his waist he’s the big dog. Shawn deserved it this year, he hands down looked remarkable, but if Roelly comes in next year even more conditioned it’s all over.
Nick's Strength and Power It was interesting listening to Ray commentate because he kept on noting the water coming out on Phil's physique. I went to bed before they announced the placings and thought I was going to wake up to Phil winning #8 but was pleasantly surprised.
@@eliotslater2371 the gift got a gift in placing second, no way he should have been that high,..Roelly destroyed him in 70 % of the poses!!!! Politics I guess...unjustice league,...BS,...unfair,...call it what you want but it is like Dorian beating Nasser back in the day with torn bodyparts. You know someone is getting robbed and nobody can do anything about it...thankfully the fans saw it and the people reacted to it.
Clearly Roelly's body is far superior than Shawn Rhoden. Roelly should have won the Mr. Olympia because he sculptured his thick waist into tiny waist. If you compare his previous body with his present body you will know the difference. The judges are either drunken or blind if they can't see the brilliant Roelly's body.

Short answer is yes. Rolley looked amazing!! Not quite enough aeisthetically to quite take the top spot but definitely better than Phil. In fact Roelly was so good that if he had if won I don't think there could really use have been much argument. He had improved that much!!!
having an under control gut is bodybuilding 101. The first step in getting in shape for anyone is to try and get that sometimes ellusive six pack. So for a top bodybuilder, someone at the very pinacle of the sport to be lacking in that area is simply unforgivable. I really like the mixture of size and elegance demonstarted by Rhoden but to be honest the more I go back and compare him to Roelly...that is one close call. Roelly had that very rare balance these days of stupid big muscles combined with small wasit and joints making him look almost like a caricature...he could easily of won. It's all on for next year.
good to see some take the gut down this year.....i thought phil would come better this year. "talk is cheap" his words to eeyore. i would agree roelly ahead of phil
That is the way I thought based on emotion (I think large waists in bodybuilding are disgustingly ridiculous) but then I analyzed everything and gave it to Phil. I am also pretty sure Phil was not hitting his abs in that last shot.
My brother, sister-in-law, wife, and I attended the Olympia this year in Las Vegas. It was an incredible experience! Shawn's abdominal and thigh shots were simply phenomenal! Shawn's conditioning was the best in the line-up, and his symmetry and aesthetics were unmatched. He deserved the victory this year, big time! 👍
Yeah, I think Roelly should have been that second place. Just imagining the insanity that would ensue when they call Phil for 3rd and Shawn and Roelly still standing up there puts a smile on my face. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that the first year a reigning champ is beaten they have ever given them anything but 2nd, they want that big reveal at the end where they can drop the "New Mr. Olympia" bomb and everyone freaks out.
Yeah, he should have been second for sure! But, if we do the same thing, and compare Roelly to Rhoden that way, id almost say, that Roelly beats him too...
Agree, may be Shawn’s legs were more conditioned with those separation in quads & hams. But upper body specially mid section I thunk Roelly was insane, he had not gut at all. Complete flat mid section with nice abs. Amazing work by Roelly, well deserved People’s champ..
I think they had a point to prove and roelly and rami suffered for it, although rami put himself in the hole at prejudging. In saying that i feel they moved the goal posts on him this year.
Roelly looks absolutely insane @5:19 compared to Phil there. shinier tan definitely had to do with the overall pop but I do think Roelly should've placed above Phil. He brought an amazing package.
I kinda figured this was gonna be a topic for ya Nick and I'm glad you did it. I definitely think that Roelly beat Phil, I said that Rhoden shoved Phil offa the throne and kicked him in the ass in an earlier post so after that Roelly picked him up and pitched him out the window. Those two guys seem to have taken it more seriously, put in the most work and improved the most out of all the competitors. I am NOT a Phil Heath fan but came into this Olympia fully expecting him to win. I was so stoked to see him thrown completely outta the house and he shouldn't even think about comin' back unless he makes similar improvements as Shawn Rhoden and Roelly Winklaar. Many of us consider Arnold to be the GOAT and a whole lot consider Phil to be the BLOAT and my fingers are crossed for this to be the beginning of a new era. ...............................PEACE!!
I just finished watching Shawn vs Phil from this channel and it made me realise how good Roelly is, other than abs he is even better than Shawn in all the poses
I can see how they could have gone from Heath to Bonac or Roelly, but Shaun has a completely different build. No one on that stage is going to be able to compete with him if that's what they're now looking for.
Yeah, this year. Shawn Ray should be a multi-time Mr. Olympia and so should Dexter Jackson if the IFBB knew what they were doing. Flex Wheeler should have at least 1 Sandow if the IFBB had the right idea in mind all along, I think it's strange that they went this route this year. Good for the sport, though, it creates a buzz next year - what are they looking for, the world will only know the night of the Olympia!
Such canvass. Much great. You really know bodybuilding! I dont know where else to say it. I'll say it here. It is kind of hard to place a 7 time consecutive Mr. O in the first callout in the corner position. It is almost as if those places were reserved for bonac and winklaar. And from that point forward, i do not think the judges really paid that much attention to Phil vs Roelly Winklaar. They kind of already decided that the top two is between Shawn and Phil
Apparently, Roelly should have been crowned as New Mr. Olympia.

Yes I would have placed Roelly 2nd without hesitation. Again you made a perfect analysis Nick ! Couldn’t agree with you more 😁 Personally, I also think that Curry was way better than Bonac ! I really don’t understand why they keep bonac in the top 5 because he looked awful.
Madmike, I agree completely that Curry was better than Bonac. I could never understand how Bonac was placing as well as he had been 'cause he has no aesthetics at all, he's got too much muscle packed onto his short frame. Although he's about three feet shorter he's playin' the same mass game as Big Ramy it seems.
I think Kai is very disappointing. He's a man that spews motivation at others but doesn't show it in practice. By giving up competing in Mr O because he felt it was rigged is just telling others that it's ok to.quit if you feel you not going to win. So 2nd & 3rd is just not good enough.
I don't really think that because phil lost mostly because of his bubble gut (this also wasn't the sharpest package he has brought) but kai has even worse gut than phil. Also the roundness of phils muscles give him an edge over kai because kai has really blocky muscles (also I'm huge kai fan so not saying any of this by hating him). But if kai would have came with really sharp look he would have won at least phil
Roelly has one of the poorest lower backs I’ve seen. Line him up with Bonac from the back and you’ll be amazed at how much better Williams lower back is and it flows better
Roelly was best. Curry has the best back. Heaths legs gotta weird shape to em that I'm sure he worked very hard to attain but fit his ninja turtle overall appearance.
His waist was a lot smaller than it was... however, it was still quite large and his abs still had a split. He needs to do more pullovers/vacuums to strengthen the inner abdominal wall which will actively hold his abs together and fix his midsection. I myself do a shitload of vacuums and I can honestly say I struggle to even push my gut out. Vacuums ftw.
Great video Nick. I think it was close as well and I agree with the poses from what you said. With that, I still think Roelly should have taken second.
Roelly bought it this year and even without breaking it down and analysing it, you could see roelly was better. Every front and side pose he takes. Phil's back is better, legs slightly better but roelly looks more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Really glad the judges went against size and have gone for aesthetics but this needs to be the consistent message now. Bloated guys are going to be penalised. I may be a little bias, as I'm not a fan of Phil's in terms of his personality but he came 3rd this year. If roelly downsizes slightly, tightens the waist even more, he could be a massive threat next year
Roelly shouldve been # 2. But i love his excitement he know he is right there. So humble and thankful. Considering the years of disappointment he knows he is close i cant wait to see him hold up that trophy.
I feel like they had to give Phil second so that the new crowning would have been more dramatic with the Phil vs Shawn rematch so to say. Basically just to hype up the final announcement more. Though i do think Roelly looked better than Phil.
I just don’t understand even though we know everything that’s asthetic based is pure opinion, but we treat the Olympia like it’s fact. Like the oscars are opinion based, miss America is opinion based, selecting college playoff teams is opinion based, but they treat the Olympia like it’s 100% fact with no bias or opinions
Bryce Nelson don’t wanna be the guy to bring in race, but i mean dorian is white and Roelly from what I can tell obviously isn’t so maybe that had some impact idk
If kai was in this year's Mr. O then he could've placed 2nd and Roelly still on 3rd. When Kai gets his conditioning on point he might even place 1st and place Shawn or Phil on 2nd or 3rd
Agreed, on those poses Roelly did look better, on the front lat spread though Phill has better traps, but it's still a politics game and I think they didn't want to give Phill too low a spot so that they can hype up a comeback for Phill at next year's Olympia. Everybody loves a good comeback. I hope Roelly get's the recognition he deserves at the Olympia next year.
Imagine now if Rhoden can come in like this consistently and then Kai Greene starts to show up how entertaining future Olympias will be. A man can dream.
Looking at the photos you presented here, I'd give the nod to Roelly. Phil has that elusive panther-ish look that Serge Nubret and Mohammed Makaway used to present. That is a very aesthetic look. But Roelly just out-muscled Phil. I didn't see any weakness in Roelly's legs. His thighs are even more ripped than Phil's, and are of comparable size. Phil has bigger calves, which is a vital ingredient if you have huge thighs. I reckon Roelly's upper back is far more impressive that Phil's and I agree with you that Roelly's lower back is his defining weakness. If he can go to Kuwait and work on his erector muscles, there won't be a man on Earth whom Roelly couldn't defeat.
Arthur, how can you say Phil Heath has an aesthetic look? and then say he looks like Serge Nubret? Serge Nubret epitomised Aesthetic. Phil Heath represents blocky. I'd love it if bodybuilding went back to aesthetics instead of mass muscle over everthing!
Yes Roelly should have been second place. He could not have beat Rhoden on the numbers because of the abdominals and shots with the leg striations and separation. This shows how heavily the past is weighted by the current judging staff. I clearly believe that this was a "this is going to be hard for Phil to take, let's not make it worse by putting him in third" move on their part......
I know right. I personally believe it was more due to the suspense effect it created to have the current mr O. Next to anotger competitor but imo they really did come short towards Roelly.
Definitely, he looked absolutely insane. I felt that he had the most flat belly with no sign of any gut as we saw during prep. Infact Shawn a lil bit of roundness but Roelly was super crazy, super muscular & super wide.
Yes. Please let this be the end of the ninja turtle belly era
I second that! I think going forward that will be the case. Phils been dethroned and they can now set the new standard set with Shawn!
Ninja turtle belly? Try harder at an insult lol
Ricky Hahahah
unfortunetaly it wont be ,u can even say that shawn has turtle belly
Ninja tutles with their shells reversed :)
It’s ironic because only a few years ago, Roelly had one of the worst distended stomachs the Olympia stage has ever seen. Glad he turned it into a strong point.
Phil got second out of respect for being 7 time Mr olympia.
Yep Roelly should be 2nd but Olympia Wanted to Create that Suspense & Hype for No.1 & 2 spot so Roelly Automatically got Neglected i guess.
XP Gamer it’s true but there’s a huge difference in money getting second and third. Roelly got robbed
XP Gamer I agree
Yeah if they called out phill as 3rd it would have taken away from rhodens win as they wanted him to dethrone the previous champ and there would have been no suspense at the end lol but I do think as well that Roelly was 2nd
LOL..I also said this to my friends before they started announcing the placements.
He had LEGIT 6 pack bruh! BEAST.
Very blocky 6-pack, too.

Did Phil put on Roelly's spray tan? That was bad.
Rolley winklaar fans hit here
GYM RAVI your back is small
Roelly is something else, and may be better from the front. I do think Phil has a better back and legs, but the amount of muscle Roelly has relative to his height, while still looking conditioned, is insanity.
If Phil wasn't the returning champion it may have been different
Crazelord91 also the abs! When roelly comes in conditioned he has insane abs as well as all the mass
Agreed, I think Phil got second only because he "was" the champ but, Roelly deserved second.
agree
How tall is roelly?
Roelly just came in super dry. And when you nail conditioning like that you get high marks. If Ramy could come in that dry he would have won last night.

Aww, so now i realized why Phil is called "Gifted".. XD XD XD
when every other area is a close call but the back is a massive weakness you cant just blame it on "IFBB internal politics" granted it is a thing.

By phil yeah not by shawn. Shawn deserved 1st place
An american has to won my friend. As simple as that.
Roelly’s abs are LITERALLY blocks of muscle on his stomach geez

Um no , shawn was way more dry , roelly deserves second place but thats it
Also Roelly's triceps, back, shoulders and calves are way better than Shawn's

Yes he should have beat phil, i think they gave him second out of respect for him

Yah we all agree the beast should be 2nd he beat phil in every pose except for the back pose.
Men talking seriously about other oily men in little thongs. G4p on another level
Madmike, I agree completely that Curry was better than Bonac. I could never understand how Bonac was placing as well as he had been 'cause he has no aesthetics at all, he's got too much muscle packed onto his short frame. Although he's about three feet shorter he's playin' the same mass game as Big Ramy it seems.
Look at 1:36, Phil's Abs are awful! He looks like crap! I'm glad he got beaten. I think Roelly should have been 2nd and Phil 3rd!
Phil's abs are disappearing year by year.
Your judgment is spot on bro!
Phil's gut is just atrocious.
If Kai Greene competed,he had a great chance to win the Olympia this year
I think last year too?
I think Kai is very disappointing. He's a man that spews motivation at others but doesn't show it in practice. By giving up competing in Mr O because he felt it was rigged is just telling others that it's ok to.quit if you feel you not going to win. So 2nd & 3rd is just not good enough.
No he didnt.He has a bigger gut than Phil.Also he is a pussy.
I don't really think that because phil lost mostly because of his bubble gut (this also wasn't the sharpest package he has brought) but kai has even worse gut than phil. Also the roundness of phils muscles give him an edge over kai because kai has really blocky muscles (also I'm huge kai fan so not saying any of this by hating him). But if kai would have came with really sharp look he would have won at least phil
if he's 2009 Arnold classic Kai then yes
Thanks for your accessment. Always very informative. I learn a lot from it.
Somebodies gunna get blocked on instagram 😂😂💪🏻💪🏻🎈🎈
Roelly for sure! He didn’t win because of the paint of his body, too dark and it didn’t glow.
Roelly has one of the poorest lower backs I’ve seen. Line him up with Bonac from the back and you’ll be amazed at how much better Williams lower back is and it flows better
The judges just wanted it to be a Shawn vs Phil show down and watch him get dethroned. The judges knew why they let him stay up there with Shawn.
Roelly was best. Curry has the best back. Heaths legs gotta weird shape to em that I'm sure he worked very hard to attain but fit his ninja turtle overall appearance.
Ron Dog yes Curry’s back is the standard 👍🏽😎
His waist was a lot smaller than it was... however, it was still quite large and his abs still had a split. He needs to do more pullovers/vacuums to strengthen the inner abdominal wall which will actively hold his abs together and fix his midsection. I myself do a shitload of vacuums and I can honestly say I struggle to even push my gut out. Vacuums ftw.
You didn't noticed roelly's calves man, @3:18 and see roelly's shoulders @5:28
It's the most imp. Points wtf
Yhh
Roelly deserved 2nd place. Shame they denied it to him.
Great video Nick. I think it was close as well and I agree with the poses from what you said. With that, I still think Roelly should have taken second.
Roelly bought it this year and even without breaking it down and analysing it, you could see roelly was better. Every front and side pose he takes. Phil's back is better, legs slightly better but roelly looks more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Really glad the judges went against size and have gone for aesthetics but this needs to be the consistent message now. Bloated guys are going to be penalised. I may be a little bias, as I'm not a fan of Phil's in terms of his personality but he came 3rd this year. If roelly downsizes slightly, tightens the waist even more, he could be a massive threat next year
Phil did’t not take a full pose in the first picture front lat spread.
Roelly shouldve been # 2. But i love his excitement he know he is right there. So humble and thankful. Considering the years of disappointment he knows he is close i cant wait to see him hold up that trophy.
I feel like they had to give Phil second so that the new crowning would have been more dramatic with the Phil vs Shawn rematch so to say. Basically just to hype up the final announcement more. Though i do think Roelly looked better than Phil.
Roelly is a fucking beast, deserved that 2nd place but the IFBB couldn't put Phil anywhere except 2nd
I just don’t understand even though we know everything that’s asthetic based is pure opinion, but we treat the Olympia like it’s fact. Like the oscars are opinion based, miss America is opinion based, selecting college playoff teams is opinion based, but they treat the Olympia like it’s 100% fact with no bias or opinions
Roelly is hitting his prime peak physique while Phil is declining. So yes, Roelly is beating him now.
Yep. I think Phil is slipping out of the top 2 next year for sure
Roellys like a roblox character lol
this shit is hilarious..
Hes a sick fuck, he likes a quick fuck
Roelly should have came in second or first.
sorry but u forgot the biggest point... he is not from the states.
ցածր - SunBy hmm Dorian Yates wasn’t from the states and he won several times
Bryce Nelson don’t wanna be the guy to bring in race, but i mean dorian is white and Roelly from what I can tell obviously isn’t so maybe that had some impact idk
Isn't Rhoden Jamaican?
_Just wondering how Kai would've placed this year... any idea Nick Miller?_
If kai was in this year's Mr. O then he could've placed 2nd
and Roelly still on 3rd. When Kai gets his conditioning on point he might even place 1st and place Shawn or Phil on 2nd or 3rd
For some reason i thought the same thing
Kai would have been placed 1st..definitely...
Depends on his conditioning. Kai has been cut well but sometimes flat. I think an "on" Kai is 4th or 5th in this lineup.
Agreed, on those poses Roelly did look better, on the front lat spread though Phill has better traps, but it's still a politics game and I think they didn't want to give Phill too low a spot so that they can hype up a comeback for Phill at next year's Olympia. Everybody loves a good comeback. I hope Roelly get's the recognition he deserves at the Olympia next year.
Imagine now if Rhoden can come in like this consistently and then Kai Greene starts to show up how entertaining future Olympias will be.
A man can dream.
100%Roelly beat him
That 1:00 shot of Roelly is one hell of a signature pose!
Looking at the photos you presented here, I'd give the nod to Roelly. Phil has that elusive panther-ish look that Serge Nubret and Mohammed Makaway used to present. That is a very aesthetic look. But Roelly just out-muscled Phil. I didn't see any weakness in Roelly's legs. His thighs are even more ripped than Phil's, and are of comparable size. Phil has bigger calves, which is a vital ingredient if you have huge thighs. I reckon Roelly's upper back is far more impressive that Phil's and I agree with you that Roelly's lower back is his defining weakness. If he can go to Kuwait and work on his erector muscles, there won't be a man on Earth whom Roelly couldn't defeat.
Arthur Black, those are excellent observations and I agree with you.
Arthur, how can you say Phil Heath has an aesthetic look? and then say he looks like Serge Nubret? Serge Nubret epitomised Aesthetic. Phil Heath represents blocky. I'd love it if bodybuilding went back to aesthetics instead of mass muscle over everthing!
Don’t know how much he can improve his lower back. You simply cannot beat genetics.
Yes Roelly should have been second place. He could not have beat Rhoden on the numbers because of the abdominals and shots with the leg striations and separation. This shows how heavily the past is weighted by the current judging staff. I clearly believe that this was a "this is going to be hard for Phil to take, let's not make it worse by putting him in third" move on their part......
I know right. I personally believe it was more due to the suspense effect it created to have the current mr O. Next to anotger competitor but imo they really did come short towards Roelly.
fair observation/commentary
Nick's Roelly's and phil's
Definitely, he looked absolutely insane. I felt that he had the most flat belly with no sign of any gut as we saw during prep. Infact Shawn a lil bit of roundness but Roelly was super crazy, super muscular & super wide.
Please tel me can I order redcon supplement in india specially I’m big fan of pre workout total war
With the exception of his back, Phil Heath has to be one of the most overrated bbers of all time.
Best Phil can manage is a weak 4 pack 😂. Horrible abs/mid section
Thanks nik for all the great videos & comparisons. Appreciate it 👍🏻
Roelly 2nd over Phil 100%
Totally agree. Phil really needs to work on his midsection. And his pecks are never good, they look small.
Definitely would have loved to see the look in Phil’s face if they had called him for third place
I think Roelly should have came in first place if not second but that's just my opinion
