***** Mr. Olympia 2016 predictions thread *****

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL YEAAAAHHHHH it's that time of year again. The big show is closing in fast.

I'll start the ball rolling......

1) Ramy
2) Phil
3) Levrone
4) Rhoden/Dexter
5) Dexter/Rhoden
6) Roelly/Cedric

I seen pics of Ramy at 7 weeks out, and pure sickness. He was in far better shape than on stage at the O last year. Aceto is getting it done. Made major improvements with the calves too. Only issue is he doesn't speak English - major political blow regarding being a Mr. O rep.

Phil's been getting worse every year, and with all the distractions, ie divorce, business changes, etc, he will look no better or even worse than last year, but still good enough for 2nd considering his crazy muscle bellies.

Levrone's gonna be better than 2000 & 2002 mark my word. Haters have him so motivated, he's been killing it. He's been peeled for awhile now and still growing into it. Seen him leg pressing 1000 for 20 reps easy other day on his instagram - the wheels will be there. His structure, superior conditioning (AND no gut) & posing is why I have him placed so high.

I think your probably real close. I would like to see Kevin take it, but I don't think he will.

I would love for Levrone to win it. I don't have a clue as to how anybody will place. So much comes down to the last few days and if they ruin it or improve on their appearance. I am very interested to see how Ramy comes in with Aceto in his corner...Aceto is the master, but Ramy has to follow what he says and not go off doing goofy shit because other guys tell him to do it. Phil will either win, or he will finish no worse than 2nd or third.

If it comes down to Levrone, Phil and Dexter, then it will be an awesome showdown.

I'd not count out Dallas McCarver and Justin Compton reaching the top 5 if things roll their way. Victor may be a surprise as well.

LOL yup representing the old folks.....go levrone

I would like to see Levrone in the top 4. I would freak if he won. If Ramy follows Aceto into the show he will be more peeled. That is danger but he doesn't have the shape yet. I am thinking Rhoden is not going to improve much from last 3 years. Roelly always messes up. I like Vic and hope he makes top 6. Cedric should be top 6. Branch is a mess and should be about 7th or 8th. Phil is not the best Mr O and wish he would go away. Bianac is looking great but has that Kai frog like look.

1. Phil
2. Dexter
3. Cedric
4. Levrone
5. Vic
6. Roelly

I don't know enough to comment but I think levrone placing top five is a win.... But I also think it would be bad ass for him to take it lol

 

[pillsbury]

i think if roelly can come in conditioned he could be in top 3. dude is looking freaky. id be surprised if ramy cracks top 5. phil for the win

 

[pillsbury]

Has anyone been following Dallas mccarver?? Dude is fucking massive and looks dry as fuck watch out for this guy he's sure to surprise everyone

For sure man! Last pic I seen he was 299 lbs with decent lines. IMO he still has a way to go regarding muscle maturity & polish - ya know, that "finished look". But as young as he is, if he stays with it and don't get pregnant, he will be a force to deal with down the road.

 

[pillsbury]

bro did you see the pic of him that was side by side from 2015 a week out to current? hes just shy of 40lbs heavier in 14 months and its not offseason weight, its 4 weeks out from the olympia weight. i agree hes young and needs to tighten up but fuck hes made light years of improvements. if only flex lewis would either man up or gain too much weight so he can compete in the open olympia. dudes a straight sphere

also saw a few pics of phil recently, looks insane. only one who has a chance is dexter. that mother fucker stepped it up, hes massive now.

PHIL HEATH OUT OF THE 2016 OLYMPIA!!!! DUE TO USING STEROIDS!

 

[Big B]

I think Phil will take the crown followed by Ramy. Levrone not in top 5, maybe top 10...

 

[Bananas]

PHIL HEATH OUT OF THE 2016 OLYMPIA!!!! DUE TO USING STEROIDS!

IFBB PA organization has filed a appeal. He bought an OTC herb pill for performance enhancement at a gas station that was laced. He is back in as he has passed all the and drug testing and the evidence is lacking.

 

[Glycomann]

I am hoping Levrone comes in absolutely peeled at 247 lbs. I don't care what he places. It's going to be epic to see a 90s BBer up against the water hogs of 2016 even if he is older than should be possible to make a legit come-back.

 

[MR. BMJ]

Recent pics show him peeled, and matching his "prime" days in size.

....still no leg pics though.

....the suspense is killing us all

 

[Dawgpound_Hank]

I'm loving the mind games he's playing right now haha. Between Palumbo, Chick & Jerry Ward, there's different versions of just WHEN that last back dbl bi pic was taken. He told Palumbo it was recent, as in the same day prior to posting that mind blowing vintage mm shot - alluding that he was "flat". Jerry Ward - close friend of Kevins - said Kevin told him that pic was from 8 weeks out haha. Then, in Kevins interview with Chick over at MD, he laughs about that back dbl bi pic being recent, never answers Chicks Q about when that pic was taken, and talks about it's all a "chess game" haha! IMO that pic is indeed old, not fucking flat. Dude is gonna shock alot of people come game day.
