Mr Olympia 2013 Updates and info thread!

[tkD]

Dennis Wolf was the surprise of the evening! He is in the top 3 and probably fighting with Kai for the 2nd place. Wonder how are the scorecards looking right now.

 

[tkD]

Kai Greene and his new look for the 2013 Mr O. Bigger for sure, but better than his 2nd place in 2012? Discuss!

 

[tkD]

Next is Phil H3ath! I think the prejudging says it all. He was called back after the 1st callout, meaning that in the eyes of the judges he is already the winner? Straight firsts as votes? We'll see tomorrow night!

 

[tkD]

Is Jay gonna get his 5th title here, or only the 5th place? From what we've seen he will be more likely to get the 5th place. Great showing though!

Kai is way off from last years condition.
No mather how you look at it i see Phil taking this easily.Look at him , just amazing physique!!Only battle is for the second place award!

Kai DOES NOT deserve to be placed ahead of Dennis Wolf... Wolf must get the 2nd! He owns Kai in every pose except for the two back shots_ which he loses BUT very respectably!

Some quick comparisons:

Thanks a ton for all of the pics and videos tkD, I wasn't able to stay around for the prejudging last night but I looked through the thread today and I'm all caught up haha.

I actually disagree with you guys about wolf beating kai, I'm not a kai fan at all but I still have him 2nd. Phil's obviously the walk away winner unless something crazy happens before tomorrow night. Jay does look pretty good but he's just not a contender for win at this point.

I was a bit disappointed with Rhoden after seeing the strides he made last year. He still looks good, but he needs more size. He and Dex should be placing right next to each other.

I haven't checked out the pictures of Ramy yet but from what I've seen in the videos they're going to be placing him lower than he deserves =/

Phil takes it in my book. Kai needed to be leaner to win ino and he didnt do it. Amazing showing though.

 

[tkD]

^^ So awesome to see you guys here!


@Arcane: I agree. Even if Wolf would have had striated glutes, he would still lose to Kai in the BDB, abs&thigh and other poses. 3rd place for him imo.

That's all Kai needs, condition. Much bigger than Phil, and Phil knows it, check up his face during prejuging... He will win just because Kai is not dry enough

Kai is a way bigger than Phil but Phil has him in condition and overall structure. I don't think Phil can hold these guys off in future if he doesn't get wider.

totally agree

 

[toobadhot]

i think kai is in good condition to win but surely judges are going to make win phil

 

[The King Of Lurkers]

I agree with you guys i see phil winning it since he was called only one time in the callouts lolol................and wolf looked awesome finally corrected his distended stomach went he is relaxed or between poses

So, this are my thoughts: - Phil: I don't want him to, but I can't see how he can not win the sohow tonight. No improvements since 2011, but he doesn't need them. Huge and in great condition, end of the show. - Kai: bigger and softer. I believe he'll be second. In the comparisions, he looks better than Heath in some poses, though. 2nd, maybe 3rd. - Wolf: probably a little bit smaller than his usual, huge anyways, and RIPPED, really ripped. Even in his hams, which werent his "harder" part. 3rd. - Jay: well, very good in some poses, fades away in the comparisions, great back double biceps, I still love it. Not sure about his placing, 4th, maybe. - Dex: same old, but worse than in the Masters. He will be punished for that. - BigRamy: a little bit overlooked, but he need to be a little bit harder and more separated. - Roelly: HELL YEAH. He did his shit this time. I'm glad. - Branch: well done, looking a little bit better than his usual - Toney, JoJ, Kucklo: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I'm bored - Cedric: dude, get your midsection checked. You always display "blurry" abdominals, which make you look off / softer than you are. - Evan: no improvements -> no good placing. - Essa: looks amazing, he will be overlooked, end of story. - Shawn Roden: great, looking great, aesthethics all the way but... I knda miss some vascularity here and there.... top 6.

Phil is the clear winner_ but judges did injustice to the crowd by not comparing him to other a bit more! He was clear winner and everyone could see it BUT that does not mean you don't compare him to the rest! When he does his individual poses tonight and looks just as ahead of everyone WOULD THE STUPID JUDGES PULL HIM FROM THE LINE UP OF FINAL SIX AGAIN??????? By their own idiotic logic they should!!!

Just as Phil is 1st, IMHO Dennis is 2nd. He kicks Kai's as$ in most poses but looses a close fight in two (BDB & BLS)

Jay did us, his fans proud! He looked very good when he did his prejudging commissaries but because he has not held on to this mass all year round but rather put it on only for the past six months... he began to flatten out faster than anyone else on stage! If he does a full blown "heavy-weight" off season and comes in 20 pounds heavier I believe he would again be very very competitive for the title! From what he said in one of the videos I am guessing he wants to do next years ASC... I don't see him losing it if he comes in 15 or 20 pounds heavier!

Shawn doesn't deserve to beat Wolf and even Ronnie who calls him "My Boy" thinks the same... but I am afraid of the traditional stupidity of the IFBB judges and fear the worse for poor Wolf!

Kai looked very off when he did his compulsories but got harder as posed more (again because I think he has carried this mass all year around and was able to hold on to the appearance of it better than Jay did). But still I believe Dennis beats him for the 2nd spot... and I WISH (as a punishment for "that" picture) they place Shawn and Dexter before him! The sport desperately needs integrity and that gutter-mentality of Kai will always be a liability to BBing's integrity!

Ramy was better than what he was able to show on stage! He was rushed here... people "managing" him should have had him do Sheru or ASC Europe (or whereever it's next)! They should have kept him away from O till his physique is a little more mature!
