It’s because they always tend to go with fuller muscle development. The only reason why Shawn Flexatron Rhoden who didn’t have much full muscles won against Phil because Phil was lacking in condition and especially in the abs department terribly while Shawn had one of the best abs and thigh pose ever but in this case Ramy and Curry is only lacking mainly in condition in the legs while Ramy is only lacking in the thighs and not the hamstrings.

Yeah, not to be mean or anything, but his quads look like they're carrying tumors instead of muscle under there. He's the only bodybuilder I've EVER seen with quads that look like that and it makes me think something sus is going on. And he's just a very big, blocky, rectangular built guy. I don't know why people say he has a taper when his midsection looks like a wide plank of wood.

Well, that was kinda what the Mr. O. organisation announced a while ago after the death of another young bodybuilder: there will be less focus from the judges on conditioning, so that these athletes at least can drink enough to survive these contests. Might feel like a step back, but we do want these competitors to be healthy and safe, right?

Ramy looks a little off, but not as bad as everyone is saying. His posing and presentation didn’t have the same endurance as last year, and the right leg looks a bit down. That semi vaccuum from the front and his back double posture made those poses much better. Brandon looks like he put on 20lbs. Very impressive gains this past year, but his conditioning doesn’t look much sharper than Ramy, and still being significantly smaller I don’t think it’s enough to take the win unless something drastic changes tonight. Btw hope you stick around Tomn8er, KZitems bb community wouldn’t be the same without ya

When Ramy crunches down with his front lat spread at 3:01 I think that is a really good look. I don't like when they stretch out... even if they're not a huge bodybuilder. I think Nick Walker could benefit massively from that if he can pull it off (he still seems to have trouble flaring his lats in that pose though so I dunno). The 1 exception is Bonac... he always looks better when he doesn't crunch down on his abs, funily enough. They just turn really messy when he does that, and when he's not crunching, they're actually quite nice/more regular ab looking... relatively speaking.

I can understand that the Arnold affected some of them, but what is Ramy’s excuse? what is Brandon’s? and why doesn’t both of them hold their poses for more than a split second? what’s up with that.
