Who’s moving up at the Olympia this year?

[Giles]

Who’s going to jump up in the rankings this December?

I think Bonac will pull ahead of Hadi for starters.

Who else?

[Beti ona]

Blessing should be the man, but there are still a lot of shows to go.

Blessing vs Samson at the Olympia. Who’s placing higher mate?

Blessing has that freak factor thanks to his height and his X frame, making it hard for Samson to beat.

I would like to see if Marc Hector is competing soon, then he he could be the dark horse.

Marc is competing this year yep! Interested to see if he’s improved where he needs to improve.

If he has then there’s another Brit to throw into the mix with Nathan, Samson, James, Jamie etc.

Is it a safe bet Nick Walker will do better than 5th this Olympia?

Yes, should have beaten Hunter last year Hunters rear lat spread weak.

You have to be a real hater to think Nick Walker's trajectory of improvement is going to stall when he has like 14 months between contests. I think he contends for the title. I think this is a huge changing of the guard year.

Mostly compiling these for myself but thought I'd share:

New faces at the Olympia Mens Open this year (weren't there last year):
Joel Thomas
Blessing
Samson
Shaun C. ??
Angel ??
Kuclo probably gets in on points even if he doesn't win a show

Likely wont be there this year:
Patrick
Roelly -- anyone know differently?

IMO, he wont beat Hunter. Now, I personally dont think Hunter is GREAT, but, well, its his destiny. If you can place 4th being water and sweating like crazy, AHEAD of Nick, Justin, and Iain, well that says something. I can see him battling for 2nd with Hadi.

Curry
Hadi/Hunter
Nick
Bonac/Ramy

I think Bonac working with Chad is going to be something special.

[Big Beat]

I think Nick Walker will be 1st or 2nd. He wins if Ramy is not on.

Blessing vs Samson at the Olympia. Who’s placing higher mate?

Samson easy
Samson has 20 lbs on him or more
Better natural shape
Is a better poser
Actually has epic legs

[Beti ona]

I'm not sure with Walker, in Pittsburgh he didn't look good, he can blow his physique

[mayor of bodybuilding]

In my opinon Lunsford has best physique in all of bodybuilding The perfect combination of size and shape. Young and fresh look!

Agreed.

[swingslammer]

For some reason I just think Derek L is not going to turn out as well as everyone else does?? Maybe I have just seen too many people hyped over the last 40 years?
