Having watched some other YTers vids and it is shocking how little they actually analyse. I feel like A is better than B, I think B looks good etc. smh when some professional can't break down their opinion. Kudos to you, always great seeing your breakdowns. Loved your predictoins, spot on!
tbh this channel is the saviour for bb fans with actual good detailed analysis of bodybuilding instead of generic stuff like “he looks off” or “he’s conditioned”
For some reason, I’ve never really noticed until this year how much Ramy has a parts-bin physique. It’s like he has Brandon’s chest, Samson’s shoulders and Platz’s legs with Lee Labrada’ arms and my four year-old’s lower back.
For BIG RAMY'S Lower back, it's a normal muscle anatomy for overdeveloped lower back .. as his lower back has been getting exceptionally thicker so this extreme thickness results in pushing upward the lower lats in the RDB Pose👆.. and for his so called downsized biceps & triceps, it's optical illusion due to the camera angles & distance manipulation that are set up that way to manipulate the public opinion (it's a blatant defamation campaign) .. The cameras are closer to Big Ramy's competitors and their altitudes miss RAMY'S ARMS CURVES & that's why they look huge from neutral angles .. lots of vids available with normal angles As for the so called dents, all exceptional BBs have had the same so called dents that are normal muscle anatomy for overdeveloped & mature outer quads .. CHRIS BUMSTEAD, PHIL HEATH & DORIAN YATES etc have had SIMILAR OUTER QUADS ANATOMY (with similar outer cuts) .. check out the so called dents on Phil's & Shaun Rhoden quads in 2018 on this vid entitled .. [[ Phil Heath could not Control his Gut between poses (Video Footage) ]] .. From 1:01 till 1:10 .. Not only did Phil & Shaun have the so called dents, Chris Bumstead also has it .. check out this vid entitled [[ CHRIS BUMSTEAD POSING ROUTINE - 2021 OLYMPIA CLASSIC PHSYIQUE (4K) ]] Pause at 1:43 .. till 1:48 On a relevant note, Ramy's so called dents are feathered with 3 stripes .. check them out on this vid entitled [[ Did Big Ramy just WIN the Olympia??? ]] ........... You'll find out the so called dent is deeply striated with 3 stripes, and PHIL HEATH STANDING NEXT TO BIG RAMY with a similar dent (yet smaller) on his right quad, along with another dent a few cms underneath on the same right outer quad (so Phil had a total of 4 DENTS on his outer quads)
@@ahmadabdallah2811 Nah he has nerve damage in his lats. Just like Cutler did in his later career. His lower back isnt like Yates i.e Shredded. Its just a smooth and flat Not to mention his tricep lateral head has withered away and his stomach is wider tham ever
Never stop tom, your legit the only body building channel to really break down every pose and give clear and coherent thoughts on who wins the pose and why, you should legit be a judge, thanks for the best breakdowns as always
Happy to see my fav BBing analyst back! We're pretty much on the same page and well, I'll just reiterate exactly what I posted earlier on NSP's channel: "This Olympia really seems to be coming down to identifying the person with the least prominent flaws, though everyone's got them this time round, and that seems to be Hadi. Aside from having comparatively weak forearms (Phil vs Kai nostalgia) and somewhat genetically lackluster triceps which don't extend all the way to his elbows, he doesn't really have any weaknesses and even the aforementioned weaknesses i mentioned aren't anywhere near as prominent as Ramy's. I'm a Brandon fan but I think his lack of conditioning is hurting him right now. Objectively, I think Hadi takes it."
Great commentary and breakdown. I like how you paused and gave insight to look at all athletes instead of trying to quickly glance and pause and rewind if needed. Great job 👍.
Brother you are the best bodybuilding analyst, I appreacite you putting their names underneath, great effort, I swear you do better than the other guys I watch.
Ps this channel is hands down best for total breakdown sounds so much better hearing someone break it down properly using correct technicality of each break down
A good balanced review. Some other channels like Nick'sS&P have given Ramy 1st position.....but he's really blown it this year and his back has somehow disappeared. The big surprise is Derek who for me has the most aesthetic physique on show although Hadi will probably get this and deservedly so. Also Nick's not as good as I thought he would be.
BIG RAMY'S Lower back is a normal muscle anatomy for an overdeveloped lower back .. as his lower back has been getting exceptionally thicker so this extreme thickness results in pushing upward the lower lats in the RDB Pose👆.. and for his so called downsized biceps & triceps, it's optical illusion due to the camera angles & distance manipulation that are set up that way to manipulate the public opinion (it's a blatant defamation campaign) ..

Thanks for this, Tom. We fans know you haven't been enjoy bodybuilding as much these days but we love your breakdowns and appreciate the content you put out for us
There are shots like at 8:17 where Big Ramy's lower back suddenly becomes a redwood like Christmas tree which are awesome, but sadly you only see flashes of that, he never seems to hold it.
Really don't see any vegetable there. To remain in the metaphor it's like an axe has chopped Ramy's lower lats insertion, those which basically draw the christmas tree.
"14:45 if brandon ends up in the top 3 the judges are smoking crack" hahahaha is this a throw back to when ronnie said the same for jay? :D amazing content btw
I was there yesterday (for what felt like a month before they came on). I live in Vegas so it'd be crazy not to go. There are people I like a lot on TH-cam who are saying Ramy won easily and it's insane. Hadi was fabulous and Derek should be 2nd. I have to disagree a bit about Brandon. He wasn't Hadi peeled but he wasn't as badly conditioned as you stated in my opinion. I thought Brandon could fight for 3rd and has the greatest potential to improve for tonight. Hadi looked clearly bigger than last year and it made all the difference. His 95% conditioning is still the best conditioning on stage. Add the 8-10lbs of muscle tissue to his frame from last year and he was awesome. Samson also super impressive but his posing was a little sloppy. With that said, everyone talking about Derek potentially being a champion down the road needs to remember Samson getting better is gonna be hard to beat! I've got Ramy 4th. ALSO, Andrew Jacked is a freak and if he wants it enough he could be a champion. Btw, you mentioned 3 months out conditioning, Blessing looked like he didn't even attempt to get conditioned.
As much as I am happy for Samson being in sixth, its also a little painful because if he had nick's or derek's conditioning, he could actually be running away with this debut Olympia. He wouldn't even need Hadi's level of conditioning. Im sure he'll be tighter tonight, but its too much ground to make up from 6th place
@@syndicalistspeedsolver I find it hard to believe that Derek can fix that. When he won the 212 he were also soft in the arms, chest and delts. he just got a soft look on the upperbody. i think he makes it up with being so full but yea.. soft upperbody but thats just his genetics
@@youdub7926 Finally someone who says this. Everybody's praising him (and he deserves it) not taking notice of the softness in the upper body, which can be seen also in the abs.
Yes that's true. I've since seen some high quality footage with him head on and he looks amazing in certain poses like the front and back double. Still not good enough to win though.
Best olympia since 1999 imo. Everybody was conditioned, and the worse conditioned guys only lacked it from the back, like Andrew jacked. We literally had 10-12 guys who'd be top 5 any year since the 90s
You gave the best breakdown per pose. Really like a professional bodybuilding judge. I will watch again next year! This aspect you do better than Nick's strength and power, which i overal watch most. But who started the whole "This has been *insert name*. Signing out" at the end?!
my eyes always go to Hadi and Derek mostly because they look great in front and rear poses i believe they will split 1/2 positions can go either way then at the end they placed Brandon and Nick i think they will split 3/4 curious to see.
I'm wondering if Ramy has some kind of nerve damage in his lower back. If you compare to even his earlier years that area has actually regressed a lot. Previously it wasn't a strong point but now it looks completely empty whereas before there was still detail and some muscle in that area. You can find old rear double photos and compare, something must have happened.
In addition to the narrow structure, I think that nick has missed the conditioning peak. His legs from the side look soft. When you look at the back shots it's like that the legs are ok, but the upper half is off focus. It's kinda strange
My eyes instantly go to Samson. He has a perfect X frame. I get bodybuilding is subjective but no one can convince me that lundsford or nick is better than Samson. I definitely have Hadi winning but honestly Samson should be second. He has size, shape, and good enough conditioning. Politically I think Nick might win but that would take bodybuilding in a terrible direction. Also, Andrew should be top 6.
Love your breakdowns. Ramy is going down hill. He had huge dents in quads, injection site infection on glute. Small arms. Abs were washed out and had a huge dent separation
It's so weird, he looked so incredible all off-season, it feels like something bad must've happened the last few weeks. He peaked too early this time I think.....
Hadi looks like the winner here. Great conditioning, balanced physique, proportions & symmetry on point. Ramy looks too big with a bloated gut + no lower back and lost details on his upper back. I think a surprise is coming
Samson Dauda..even tho hes holding water.. i like the way he looks... excellent proportions, Hadi looked great also, his body structure is weird but he knows how to pose it and make himself look good, Derek was very impressive but his legs were somewhat lacking as you mentioned @Tomn8er... those 3 were my favorites... Ramy just brought more of the same with little improvment.. kinda hard to continue to improve year after year so its no slight against him... this just wasnt his year and id say the same for Brandon...he was bigger but overall looked worse than in times past... Nick mid section ruins his physique
If the Olympia was really concerned about growing the audience for bodybuilding, you would be a paid, official commentator and/or a judge. Sadly, they are not.
Best bodybuilding analysis channel out there IMO, good job on the predictions Personally, I love Lunsford's physique, with slightly bigger legs and better conditioning he could win as early as next year. I'd like to see Nick win at some point as well, before his heart gives out. Open is a freak show after all Ramy looked... off. Despite the shredded side leg and glutes, the rest of him seemed way flubbier than the last year or two. And his gut is catching up to the rest of him Curry I will never understand, the dude has always looked several weeks out and this year was the worst I've ever seen him. How he ever won at all is a mystery, how he made the top 6 this year similarly so
Having watched some other YTers vids and it is shocking how little they actually analyse. I feel like A is better than B, I think B looks good etc. smh when some professional can't break down their opinion. Kudos to you, always great seeing your breakdowns. Loved your predictoins, spot on!
Other youtubers are just deep throathing ramys cock so deep it makes me vomit. Hadi is so clear winner here and derek cloce second.
Definitely

The cameras are closer to Big Ramy's competitors and their altitudes miss RAMY'S ARMS CURVES & that's why they look huge from neutral angles .. lots of vids available with normal angles
As for the so called dents, all exceptional BBs have had the same so called dents that are normal muscle anatomy for overdeveloped & mature outer quads .. CHRIS BUMSTEAD, PHIL HEATH & DORIAN YATES etc have had SIMILAR OUTER QUADS ANATOMY (with similar outer cuts) .. check out the so called dents on Phil's & Shaun Rhoden quads in 2018 on this vid entitled ..

On a relevant note, Ramy's so called dents are feathered with 3 stripes .. check them out on this vid entitled [[ Did Big Ramy just WIN the Olympia??? ]] ........... You'll find out the so called dent is deeply striated with 3 stripes, and PHIL HEATH STANDING NEXT TO BIG RAMY with a similar dent (yet smaller) on his right quad, along with another dent a few cms underneath on the same right outer quad (so Phil had a total of 4 DENTS on his outer quads)

Samson really impressed me. And Derek lived up to the hype.
You can not see. Not ing. Ti to dark light ing suck that my opinion thank you 😂💪🏻🦾

Dereks quads looks soft and no sweeps.

Never stop tom, your legit the only body building channel to really break down every pose and give clear and coherent thoughts on who wins the pose and why, you should legit be a judge, thanks for the best breakdowns as always
Samson simply has to be a future Mr Olympia. My eyes are drawn to him in almost every pose!
He is great man, i cant wait for him to get even more polished and bigger, i think he should do the arnold this year
Definitely
@@Guillermoreno02 he has already applied for the Arnold, so unless they don't accept him you will see him there!
I think Andrew had better condition and symmetry
He completely defused big Rami being the biggest guy on stage, when they stood next to each other
Don't stop man, this is the only channel that actually goes into detail in all of this stuff
This might be the most entertaining Olympia of the century. Crazy lineup and Derek delivered big time!
I agree. It's gonna be between Hadi and Derek. I'm personally rooting for Derek but will be happy if Hadi wins also. Walker in 3rd.
Of the century?......
Crowd went nuts when Derek hit front relaxed
Derek for the win!
Hes MrOlympia material,I can see him win it in 1-3 years
So hyped for your coverage

There's no better analysis video out there. been waiting all day. Unbiased authentic reviews. 1.Hadi 2.Derek

Was waiting to hear you’re opinion on this Tom, great breakdown as always
That back comment. Could stand next to Phil…😳 that’s a wild statement
Just in terms of the back yes, Derek can hold his own. Phil would still win the pose pretty easily though due to the arms and legs.
@@Tomn8er entitled to your opinion I guess
I’m so impressed with Derek with his open debut
Thanks Tom, your review counts! Kindest regards, Richard U.K
Nick Walker also was seen from a weird angle as he was the rightmost on stage and thus furthest from camera. I think he is very good this year.
But not good enough.
Yes that's true. I've since seen some high quality footage with him head on and he looks amazing in certain poses like the front and back double. Still not good enough to win though.
@@Tomn8er he definetly improved a bit this year
Best bodybuilding analysis channel.
Samson could very well be a huge future threat with his height and size he can pack one more muscle and it can still look good and not blocky
The man the myth the legend
Tom always spot on
Mandatory, you are the GoaT, comment. I appreciate the videos Tom
Nice to see you are doing videos.
❤
Holy shit Tom is back!!
Thanks for this content!
Samson is easily top 3 in every front and side pose, he loses a bit of ground from the back but still very impressive.
Best olympia since 1999 imo. Everybody was conditioned, and the worse conditioned guys only lacked it from the back, like Andrew jacked. We literally had 10-12 guys who'd be top 5 any year since the 90s
Well 2009 wasn't exactly bad
The man, the myth, the legend returns for another breakdown on why the common folk should not judge bodybuilding lol
You gave the best breakdown per pose. Really like a professional bodybuilding judge. I will watch again next year! This aspect you do better than Nick's strength and power, which i overal watch most. But who started the whole "This has been *insert name*. Signing out" at the end?!
Ramy's arm are fading i feel...especially the triceps
Yes he uploaded !
my eyes always go to Hadi and Derek mostly because they look great in front and rear poses
i believe they will split 1/2 positions can go either way
then at the end they placed Brandon and Nick i think they will split 3/4
curious to see.
I'm wondering if Ramy has some kind of nerve damage in his lower back. If you compare to even his earlier years that area has actually regressed a lot. Previously it wasn't a strong point but now it looks completely empty whereas before there was still detail and some muscle in that area. You can find old rear double photos and compare, something must have happened.
Samson has a promising BB future
If Hadi doesnt win this, its just poor Judgement
Hands down he answers everything maybe downfall is side pics but that’s it
This channel tells the truth no bias not same nick strength who doesn't know about bodybuilding
In addition to the narrow structure, I think that nick has missed the conditioning peak. His legs from the side look soft.
When you look at the back shots it's like that the legs are ok, but the upper half is off focus. It's kinda strange
Samson is the best guy on stage

Great video! I think it would better to check the HD Photos that are now available out there. Clearly Hadi wins! He is on fire!!!
Yeah I've since checked a few. My opinions haven't changed much.
Be cool to see Samson and Andrew side-by-side.
In an earlier callout they were one spot away. Almost eerie how similar they are. Even had identical-coloured posing trunks. 🤣
Love your breakdowns. Ramy is going down hill. He had huge dents in quads, injection site infection on glute. Small arms. Abs were washed out and had a huge dent separation
It's so weird, he looked so incredible all off-season, it feels like something bad must've happened the last few weeks. He peaked too early this time I think.....
Liking and commenting before the Mr O randomly issues take downs on the video.
glad Derek moved up in class, he definitely deserves to be there
Kai Greene must have stolen Ramy’s lower part and put it on his own
What happened to that judges statement about condition going to matter less in bodybuilding to avoid deaths?
I suspect they'll selectively pick and choose when they want to employ that criteria to justify their placings whenever they want 😜
What’s up bro 😎 Waa so ready for yr analysis. Thanks
next year for derek and Samson..gonna be insane
Literal best channel for bodybuilding shows. Always sick to hear an educated bodybuilding fan
At 16:43- nick and ramy are standing much close to that line- and other 4 are posing closer to the camera to look big-
NICK WALKER, Hadi,Derek
NICK WALKER is Dialed in
Tom is the goat!
Hadi looks like the winner here. Great conditioning, balanced physique, proportions & symmetry on point.
Ramy looks too big with a bloated gut + no lower back and lost details on his upper back. I think a surprise is coming
Based on what we have seen so far:
1. Hadi
2. Derek
3. Nick
4. Rami
5. Samson
6. Brandon
If Hadi doesn't get at least 2nd then there's something with the judges.

Personally, I love Lunsford's physique, with slightly bigger legs and better conditioning he could win as early as next year. I'd like to see Nick win at some point as well, before his heart gives out. Open is a freak show after all
Ramy looked... off. Despite the shredded side leg and glutes, the rest of him seemed way flubbier than the last year or two. And his gut is catching up to the rest of him
Curry I will never understand, the dude has always looked several weeks out and this year was the worst I've ever seen him. How he ever won at all is a mystery, how he made the top 6 this year similarly so
This was the best break down of top 6.
1. Hadi 2. Derek 3. Nick 4. Brandon 5. Ramy 6. Samson
