In the 1970 competition, Arnold asked Sergio to walk off the stage together. But as soon as Sergio turned around Arnold stayed on stage to post alone. Never turn your back from Arnold, especially in a gun fight like this ;)
@@OptimisticOstrich-sd9nt he wasn’t bigger but he had a smaller waist and stomach wasn’t as extended in 2001 which make that version a lot of peoples preference. Aside from that everything else was bigger and more shredded on Jay in 2009, for example compare the glutes and quads. Glutes were soft in 01 compared to 09
Maybe it was just the lighting but when I was watching the live stream I thought Derek was wayyy better than last year.Idk how he won last year, Hadi should’ve taken it
Yeah, I’ve been thinking the exact same thing, especially because everybody has been saying he was less conditioned when I think he was definitely much more condition this year and I do think his quads might have looked a little bit smaller this year. It really wasn’t that much of a big difference?
Derek had a lot of wow factor going into last year's O, improving notably from the year before that. But it seems that the honeymoon phase ended this year, even though he improved. Also think he kinda dug that grave himself by his 'these guys are fighting for second' comment behind Nick and Samson's back. This kind of stuff at least subconsiously play into the judges minds.
I think its the lighting, it didnt do his physique justice in 2023, he wasnt as sharp this year, wasnt as dominant from the back and his legs were definetly smaller. Steve and Tyler both said he was off, he improved certain poses like the front lat and abs and thighs but thats about it, he looked the same or got worse in pretty much every other pose imo.
Oliva refused to get down on his knees and kiss the ring of the IFBB empire so it was decided that he needed to be replaced. A new spokesman from Austria was found and relocated to the US to fill the vacancy. Oliva was improving each year up until sometime after 1972 when Oliva tore his left tricep.
I'd say Phil 2017v2018 goes to whether you favour fullness or conditioning but his struggles to hold poses in 2018 tipped the scales to 2017 being the better version of him. Gut was slightly tighter in 2018 but hernia looked nastier IMO.
Without looking for footage, surely Franco Colombo was better the year after he won the Olympia?? Mainly because he looked terrible the year he won it....Chris Dickerson potentially too??
I don't agree with u at all Marx Max Muscle... I don't see at all Salson Dauda the winner of the 24 Mr. O... and he doesn't deserve it because there's someone called Hadi Choopan on stage this year & he was damn good in better shape and condition... why he lost ?!! I don't really know... what happened there behind the scenes, maybe politics, maybe this maybe that but one thing I'm convinced of is that the title of 2024 Olympia had a name written on it & this name was Hadi Choopan... Samson Dauda was third in my opinion.
Derek should not have won last year,he was a gift from the ifbb,because if he improved it means that martins mr olympia physique would have won last year(he was better than derek in 2024)

I think it's fair that Samson won. They essentially made Samson, Hadi, and Derrick interchangeable moving forward.
Dexter ‘09 was phenomenal.
Agreed that was his all time best unfortunately Jay came at his all time best, I still think Dexter should’ve came second though and branch third
Jay was much bigger and better in 2001 to 2003,2009 is overrated

@@mrhunter2154 he had deep cut abs and was heavier in weight too at 2001,yes his back was soft in 2001 but then front was soft in 2009.
Dereks legs throw his symmetry off.

@@paulorocha1772wrong. He looks better in the side chest and a&t. Although less conditioned he wins both back poses against Hadi and Samson.
I was there in person in 1970 when Sergio lost. I was a fan of Sergio, but thought Arnold edged him, as Sergio was too smooth.
If derwk make those quads bigger. He will be unstoppable.
Derek lost this time because he didn't use enough site injection on his lats.

Derek and his womens fitness legs🤦
Lol let’s see your legs u twink
Breon Ansley got the worst of this in 2019. Cbum wasn't even as good as he was in 2017 when they gave it to him
I miss Dex.. he was great
Slam dunk of a video idea can't wait to watch it
great 09 lighting . Imagine Ronnie 99 on that stage! or Dorian 97
Well 97 Dorian kinda sucked so
Sergio Oliva here was 05:24 ... fantastic 😱
Derek Lundsford, Mr. Ofakeyia 2023.
Yes please Dex 2008 vs Dex 2009. Or Victor 2007 vs Dex 2009
Sergio just looked so crazyyyyy but Arnold was great too. Arnold needed to win though. Thats the truth. I would have let him win also
That is the saddest thumbnail I've ever seen.
Yeah do 2009 top three vs 2024. My pick 2009 wins easily

Boston Loyd vs Jason Genova

Derek improved in areas but lost progress in areas too.
Brandon Curry and Hadi for sure
Derek improved but he lost the symmetry between the upper and lower body
2023 Hadi should've been there😅
Dexter should have won more olympias
honestly thought derek was winning after seeing the initial livestream but after some photos it became clear he wasnt as peeled as last year

Derek should of won 🥇
Dexter is the best among these improved but still lose.
Derek should not have won last year,he was a gift from the ifbb,because if he improved it means that martins mr olympia physique would have won last year(he was better than derek in 2024)
Bodybuilding is not your sport.
Derek loserford is the most undeserving Fake olympia winner there is. Fake Mr. Olympia 2023
@ you’re delusional 🙏🏼
I dont know how branch beat dexter in 09.
Brandon Currie?
Sergio was robbed in the same way that Bertil Fox and Mike Mentzer were. the Olympia is a massive joke
BOOM
Oh my soul!!
No way
Derek is way overrated.
Where can I block this click bait? Please help
Did Samson steal his t shirt???
