Who else are going to be watching it? It is on this weekend and for the competitors they are doing the peak week, where they are on very low calories.
We have competitors in the open category like big ramy, hadi choopan, nick walker, brandon curry.
In the mens physique, we have chris bumstead, who do you think will win?
I reckon that big ramy will win the open and chris bumstead the mens physique.
There are few fitness influencers that will cover it, like coach greg and nicks strength and power, here is gregs video:

Who is your favorite bodybuilder? I like the classic ones like arnie, but the all time favorite would be jay cutler

I can’t wait! I’ll be watching. I think Big Ramy has got it again though. I am rooting for James Hollingshead though hoping he’ll make top ten…
My all time favourites competitors were Samir Bannout & Lee Priest |

Yes, big ramy have it again, another competitor that is good is called urs halecinski, he trained this week with jay cutler, he reminds me of dennis wolf  |

"I much prefer the physique category. Can't see C Bum losing, he has the height which is a massive advantage, either way his physique is immense."
Yes. I also think that chris bumstead will win |

"This may sound a silly question - but are all the competitors juiced up to get their physiques? Or is there a strict testing policy?
Its not a tested sport, it's not under world anti doping. "
That is right, they are not tested and in the open category, they are on the most heaviest steroids cycles, compared to the other categories below it. |

They all claim to be clean but you don't get 25 inch arm's 1% body fat and weight 135kgs clean.
It's one of the reasons why so many of them die from heart related issues fairly young.
That and the extremes they put their bodies through regards diet and duretics. |

I'm sorry but they don't claim to be clean, many of them openly admit to assistance or don't deny it. It's so much more mainstream than you realise anyway.

It can only be watched on pay per view, but fitness influencers like coach gregg will give updates on the latest.

I'm watching and personally i am extremely impressed with Derek lunsford,
I think he's gonna be a future Mr o before nick and hunter,
I hate to say it but I really don't like ramys physique at all, mad when I'm pretty big and blocky myself but I feel it's time for him to be moved over

You're right I know a few top UK bodybuilders and I am on the scene myself and no one and I mean no one is clean,
I'm honest with what I take. |

"Ramy looks awful, Hadi on the other looks incredible.
C Bum killing the classic
"
Yes. I agree with coach gregs too that ramy is not looking as good this year as he have done, his side chest pose is the best and he couldnt flex his back so good. |

It is the mr olympia weekend again and to start it off, well done for larry wheels to win the classic physique, it was a local show, he is trying to get his pro card.
Hadi choopan is defending his title and I think that he will win the open again and for chris bumstead to win the classic physique |

It was a good mr olympia weekend and chris bumstead won the classic physique for the fifth time.
I was really impressed with samson dauda, he was one of the biggest ones and out angled most of them. I can see him as a future mr olympia and the one who won mr olympia in the open category was derek lunsford, well done to him |

Hadi looked amazing but his attitude was bad and that was before he stormed off, my friend was watching and had already messaged to say he was being a dick! Lunsford had a better back and everyone knows comps are won from the rear, was also told that I person Lunsford really brought it in for the finals, everything can change between prejudging and finals
Also, they all have scar tissue and injection sites, they are saying his lumps could be his lymph nodes from the excessive stress to his body, who knows! They are all in great shape, Samson was amazing and definitely one to watch for the future

"Hadi should have won, Lunsford had site injection marks on lats and glutes ffs
I don't follow bodybuilding, so a genuine question, but are they supposed to be natty or are they open about PEDs?"
I don't follow it either but I expect that they're not open about it in terms of cycles they use but everyone knows it's not a natty competition. |

That's what I thought, so the injection scars issue was just that he hadn't hidden them well enough! I know there are specific competitions for natties but wasn't sure if this was one! |

No mate they be on a shitload at that level there was one drug tested Olympia back in the early 90s maybe? And everyone looked a lot smaller and softer than usual, some are open about what they use not many claim natural these days but some have over the years haha |

Not injecting in discreet areas and/or injecting too close to the contest some gear leaves a lump for a few days he had a lump on each lat and each upper outer glute |

I dunno. I don't get why it's such an achievement to be the biggest bodybuilder but be on the 'roids. I'd feel like a ginormous fraud. |

Cheers mate. I guess it's a level playing field of they're all doing it. Being open about it (or at least not pretending to be natural ) has to be the best approach! |

There are drug tested federations for those that want to compete naturally but public interest is literally zero. Without drugs pro bodybuilding wouldn’t exist |

It is not mr olympia, but it is the arnold classic, are you also watching it and who do you think will win it? I think that in the open category it will be a battle between samson dauda and hadi choopan. I reckon that samson dauda could win it

Many many years ago I dated a competitive body builder. Every year we would go to Nottingham for the start of the tour the professional guys would do straight after Olympia. We always stayed in the same hotel as the competitors and I have been lucky enough to meet many of them in person. Dorian Yates after his first Olympia. Kevin Lavrone, Henderson Thorn, Milos Sarchev. Thierry Banut and not forgetting the wonderful Albert Beckles amongst many many more, who's wife we shared an umbrella walking to the venue. Great times ! |

Yes, yw pal. I like to follow coach gregs update on it too, he covered the pre judging from yesterday here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFUpfAhRNvI where he predicted that wesley vissers could win it. I also thought that he would win it and he won the classic physique as well. |

Samson needs to bring condition, if he's off which he usually is he won't win. With others pulling out I think it's Hadis to lose.
C Bum, Dino, Vissers top 3 in classic. Vissers legs are lacking so no chance of win.
