I Declare War Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I hope he wins! Anyone else cheering for him as well? He is 52 years old now! From his latest pics it looks like he is absolutely on track to present what may be the best version of his physique yet. Muscle maturity!

Skeletor Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I've always liked Kevin's physique. Won't really know until he's up there next to Phil and the others but just to look that good at his age is admirable and shows he still has fantastic genetics and reacts very well to gear. Funny my two favourite looking guys are probably amongst the oldest if not the oldest in him and Dexter. Always going to be hard to take out Phil though.

kiwicannon Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Kevin looks crazy amazing and i hope he does some serious damage! However i rekon theres way to much politics and BS involved and the IFBB have probably already dictated who the winner is... id say there poster boy Phil will more then likely take it again?

Realtalk Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Couldn't win it in his prime. You're delusional if you think he will win at 52. everyone competing at Olympia looks amazing in pics they took themselves. Different story when they are all up on stage next to each other.

Skeletor Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Didn't help he was up against Coleman in the 2000ish era or he could have a couple of titles. 52 is getting on but Dexter is 47 and still winning against some good olympia competitors . The average age is definitely getting up on what it was years ago with the likes of Kai, Shaun, Wolf and a few others all in early 40s. He could definitely place top 5 if he comes in good enough.

jimmybro1 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I don't think he will show up on the day if he doesn't think he will place top 5. Will claim injury or sickness, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I think he'll come in as ripped as f*ck and hold his own. I don't think he's gonna win although I'd love to see that. But who does he have to beat to make top 6? I can imagine him in top 6 maybe even top 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Declare War Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 In 2000 he was up against a fat bloated Coleman - I reckon Levrone should have won that year. Bodyuilding is subjective and judged on what the current criteria the judges are looking for. Many people argue that he should have won a couple of times at least... it's just too bad the judges were looking past the physique and giving favor to mass. I just want Levrone to win... everything feels right about it. If he brings the physique I say give it to him. I can easily see him looking better and fresher than Dexter. He has a more appealing physique, better lines etc. Phil, I don't know... if Phil is not on point I can see him being beat by Levrone. I don't really like Phil's look... and his attitude is well, lacking... there's a vid on his instagram where he's whinging about Levrone - he's like a little kid. Ramy, he's a monster... too big for my liking. Just too much. Shawn Rhoden, he could be it this year. Gonna be interesting this year. I reckong if Kev is 95% on point it'll become very interesting.

HarryB Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Not Rhoden cos conparitively light in the arms. If Ramy is actually as hard as everyone else then he wins but that's a big if. It's actually made me interested in watching the show this year. I Declare War 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recent photos show he on point. Maybe Aceto can dial him in. I'm not sure Ramy will win even if he's 100% with all the politics? But apparently he's so good that if he is close to 100% he would look so much better than anyone else he couldn't be denied. I guess you'd have to see him in person to appreciate all the details. Here's what I think will happen because of the politics: 1. Phil 2. Ramy 3. Kevin or Dex or Rhoden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate225 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Top 6 in no particular order IMHO: Heath, Rhoden, Levrone, Jackson, Ramy, Josh/Cedric/Compton for 6th I'll be there to see it first hand! I Declare War 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realtalk Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Phil v Kai is what I wanna see. Don't give a f*ck about levrone, he past it. Just how I feel. Guy prob ran out of dollars and wants a publicity pay day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmybro1 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 It's a pity Dennis Wolf is out. Guys got an incredible physique. Predictions are: Phill, Shaun Rhoden, Dexter Jackson, Cedric, Victor, Ramy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realtalk Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Don't you guys think everyone looks like a winner in their pics they post when they by themselves? like I know it would be boring if no one posted pics and no conversation was created but it doesn't mean shit and its same story every year. I guess it's just all part of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Yeah I think there's a huge element of that. Where on their own they look amazing. None of it really matters until you see them compared to each other. I just go by a mix of what they post and what they actually looked like at whatever comp they did last. No one's posting bad pics of themself. This year it's more interesting for me because Kevin is coming back, Ramy is working with someone who gets everyone peeled, Dexter has been better than ever lately and I'm interested to see how Dallas McCarver looks in the lineup. It's just more interesting than it has been for me in quite a while. trainlikeafreak and I Declare War 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for sure and great aesthetics with zero weak bodyparts. People compare him to Wolf but imo he's a lot more complete. jimmybro1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrymundo Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 I see dallas as the one to watch. Dude just improves by leaps and bounds every year whereas roelly and rammy just let you down on stage after overhyped photos preolympia where they look ridiculous at certain angle with lighting. jimmybro1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainlikeafreak Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Dallas is apparently 290lbs depleted as fck and hard as nails. He's def gonna shake things up IMO. I thought he was hugely overlooked the last time he competed at the O. He is just so big that you can't help but be drawn to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
