Dauda time will come.. just Hadi’s condition will win him the big O as he has superior genetic. Della Rosa should not have been 4 th. Akim was so much better.
Olympia it’s time to raise the first place award to 1 million dollars come on man👏👏👏 it’s a one time show in a year, Bodybuilding deserves a lot more💪💪💪👑👑👑
FYI only 0.7% of Americans made more than half a million dollars in 2023. Arnold is really giving these guys a chance to do what they truly love, that is bodybuilding
Maybe a strange comment to make but I have noticed that there are many more proper gentlemen at the top of this sport than previous eras. These are nice guys who let their physiques do the tough guy talk. Anyone else feel the same?
@@frankfirewood5384 Yeah... but he shouldn't have lost the Olympia. Hadi was a better bodybuilder than Derek that night, and he's a _significantly_ better bodybuilder now. That hurts. And honestly, Hadi probably made the right choice, because I don't think he could have contained himself if he stayed onstage. Was it a bad look? Absolutely. But I think it would have been a worse look if he'd stayed and continued to show how angry and disappointed he was. None of us here have ever fought for anything as hard as a Mr. Olympia fights to win that title. If you think you have, you're kidding yourself. So none of us knows what it feels like to be absolutely _certain_ that you've reached that mountain-top _again,_ only to have it taken away from you.
@@alistairwillock7266 I know it's not the point of your comment but.. none of us have fought as hard as them ? Maybe you haven't man, but people around you have struggles and objectives too 🧐 plus Hadi has not been the only one in the position you place him, loosing Mr o while being better. And the other guys i think about didn't behave as him. Not that big of a deal of course but still noticeable
Its clear that whatever was holding arnold back before is no longer an issue. Everything is changing and I think its great. I hope he raises the other classes as well, if hes looking to do it right. Hats off to Akim for completely transforming himself in 24hrs, I hope he goes to Brazil and gets 3rd, maybe even pushes samson! Walker looked HUGE, Hadi is tying Jays record, thats it, im going to lift...peace
@@HkFinn83 Ramon, Rafa or Horse will all sell crazy tickets in Brazil, which is probably the biggest bodybuilding market in the world, TBH. Likewise if Hadi did a show in the Middle East. But regional attractions aside, your point is pretty well-taken.
@@gabenir5117 It reminded me of something Vinny Galanti said after walking offstage at a show that ESPN covered in the late 1980s. Asked how he thought he did, he said, "I think I won." & he did. Hadi knew he had this show. All that joking around w/ his tongue out like he was hungry (as in "Stay Hungry", the '70s mantra) said it all. 💪💪
I wish Milos would bring Samson in flat as a pancake but conditioned to the bone in one of the smaller shows just to see what it would look like. I feel like he has so much size that maybe sacrificing that fullness for much better conditioning wouldn't hurt him. And even if it doesn't quite work, being a smaller show it wouldn't hurt him much since he'd win easily most likely anyway.
If he were to come in “conditioned to the bone” he would be smaller than Raphael Brando. He’s over 300lbs with zero muscle density, lifting light weights and following Milo’s insulin protocol helped build a ton of low quality muscle in a short period and it shows. He’ll never get the hard grainy look without lifting hard and heavy .
They honestly need to raise the prize money in Classic Physique. The top 6 classic competitors have more following than the entire Open competitors combined. I'm still a massive fan of both divisions but I feel like the classic guys deserve a better share of the pie.
So then go and check 2021 Olympia. But, this was the best Hadi I have ever seen same conditioning as 2021 and 2019 but with about 20Ibs more pure muscle mass.
@@amirhossein0720 oki I just checked, 2023 as well. I probably missed them cos the previous ones werent this articualte. This one was almost like Derek Lunsford level vacuum. and yea more mass now, he really delivered on this one.
7:55 perfect pose Hadi. everything looks perfect, symmetrical/proportioned, detailed/defined. Arms, shoulders, mid section, quads. He's so complete. He has extra detailing that other don't have from pretty much from, side, and back. (specially from the front). From the back he was improved too. Lats improved, the glutes, and hams
If the guy put 10-15 pounds without ruin his midsection he will surpass Sampson for sure. His figure-silluette will be egual and his muscles are way more defined than Sampsons.
I wouldn't call it a bubble gut, just normal gut. Literally any bodybuilder not actively controlling his gut will have it look like this. And that's exactly Samson's problem, he doesn't control it on stage.
As you said, Hadi did a mistake in MO, but everybody does mistake. Hadi is really nice guy. Very humble and down to earth. Bodybuilding needs people like Hadi.
Thank you for the recap, I almost forgot that the open bodybuilding show is the center of the Arnold Classic, I spent 95% of my time watching the strongman and strongwoman contests.
4:02 ? he has a ball for a mid section ... the worst one on that stage. He should actually train abs. But Hadi needs to actually train fore arms. When he stretches before side chest his arms turn paper thin in profile. It's ... these guys have 15 minutes in a week to hit foreams from 4 to 6 sides to actually fill them out like they do with back....
I know that Weider and the Mr Olympia contest are responsible for modern day bodybuilding, much respect. I think it’s time the torch was passed and I think The Arnold Classic is ready to become the number 1 coveted contest in bodybuilding.
Bro I'm looking through the comments to see if anyone feels that way. And here you are I totally agree. He absorbs the light, it doesn't reflect well off his dark skin. He may need to adjust his tanning oil mixture or something.
Nah. Dexter Jackson, Ronnie Coleman are dark and they were awesome shaped. Dexter's nickname was the blade because his conditioning was so sharp and unreal.
This is how bodybuilding judging works. The judges look for flaws. They eliminate competitors due to flaws until only one person is left, and that person wins. 💪💪
This is the first time Hadi is getting the recognition he deserves. Before he was the underdog but after he won many people counted him out but now he has demonstrated that he is a threat to the title any day
I honestly felt Rafael Brandao deserved second place.. Samson's conditioning was better at the Olympia.. Just because he's the defending champ, you don't deserve second automatically..
A Very Very Very Well deserved Victory: Congratulations to the Best Bodybuilding Champ "HADI 🏆"... Also Very high Respect to Great ARNOLD SIR, he Continues to be Inspiration to So Many Bodybuilders and fans like ME... !
Everyone talking how classic Samson looks but his gut aint classic, imagine him with Andrew's Jacked midsection bruh. Hadi have almost perfect abs and insane quads
The best thing was that Horse MD got put in the places he deserves. You all had in in the top 4, and it was obvious he had the most unassuming physique and greates hype ever!
Amazing coverage, Nick! Thank you! Hany interview last night was fantastic. Lots of nice and kind professionals in the sport right now, letting their physiques and conditioning do the talking. Congratulations to Hadi! Well deserved. Insane conditioning. And Sampson looked amazing too. He's a beast. And huge props to Arnold for bucking up the prize money. He wants to own the sport, and he might just do it (unless the Olympia steps up too). Overall, a great show for professional bodybuilding. Can't wait to see all the newcomers (Brazil!!) climb the ranks in the months and years to come 🙂
The Olympia should raise their prize Money to $1m for men's open since its THEEE bodybuilding competition to compete at. The pinnacle so to speak. These athletes work so hard to build their bodies, they deserve the prize money increase. Its come a long way.
The has to have been one of the strongest 1st and 2nd placings since Ronnie and Jay! Hadi and Samson look INCREDIBLE! 2 completely different frames, muscled to their ultimate potential. I like Samson and have tremendous respect for him as both a competitor and a Good Person, but it is not his time yet. Hadi is the current world's best. When he retires and moves on it's all Samson.

Hadi was fuller, leaner, and was able to perform a better vacuum. This is the best hadi we have ever seen
Also better synthol in arms and delts
@@GamingAndChillu mad?
Def not the best . Vancouver show was his best by far
@@SenditbruhhhTV maybe most conditioned but that looks is not winning Olympias , size means something in the open
@@brentontriplett4795 I think if he showed up looking like Vancouver he’d still win Olympia. Def his best look.
Hadi’s conditioning + fullness is actually ridiculous here. He peaked perfectly
his condition always on point .
He was at a whole different level here, it's insane
Don't forget synthol in his arms and shoulders also peaked
@@GamingAndChillyou mad bro hahaha commenting it on every comment
If Hadi have this condition right now during the last Mr. Olympia, he would have beat Derek Lundsford for the title.
Rafael improved so much. Biggest surprise from the open lineup.
No doubt !
What a huge change
Agreed, he looked great
Agreed.
Absolutely
best line by far, the best of aesthetics
I met Hadi today and wished him luck. He looked so lean and tired! I have to say the man is supremely well built.
That wasn’t him that was me
you looked insane man, shreds on shreds big fan ni@@carlosgalaviz349
No way dude, its hard to believe that one of best bodybuilders on the world is well built. .Woah.
No you didn't.
He was robbed in olympia..!
Arnold is pushing to make the Arnold Classic Ohio the TOP bodybuilding show of the world.
where is the money coming from?
Thanks Arnold. I went to the very 1st Arnold classic and got my picture taken with him. Think it was 1989 when the movie twins came out
Who knows the extra money may be coming from Arnold himself?
@@mchiralArnold pulling investors
@@mchiral Arnold's net worth is north of $300 _million._ He can find the extra prize money in his couch.

One of the best abs and thigh of all time surely.
I'm the biggest Dauda fan but Hadi deserved this win for sure 💯
Dauda time will come.. just Hadi’s condition will win him the big O as he has superior genetic. Della Rosa should not have been 4 th. Akim was so much better.

you hit the nail on the head my friend..they do deserve it!!!! especially what they put there body's theough. Take care muscle machine 👍
Open category has a lot of money already, it's classic physique that needs more prize money
Once Olympia raises their 1st place prize money to $1M, we might see a media company covering the stream as ESPN did in the past
As long as steroids rule this obscene beauty contest, BB will never "deserve" anything but scorn.

@@HkFinn83 Ramon, Rafa or Horse will all sell crazy tickets in Brazil, which is probably the biggest bodybuilding market in the world, TBH. Likewise if Hadi did a show in the Middle East. But regional attractions aside, your point is pretty well-taken.
Rafa Brandao improved the most imo, im a fan of his lines and roundness, everything just pops
Totally brother. I believe he's the future in bodybuilding
My favorite pose for hadi is the side triceps. You can see striations in his chest with the pose. I think he’s the only bodybuilder I’ve seen that on.
might be my new favorite side tri, the symmetry is perfect
The head nod from Hadi says it all. Man knew he nailed it perfectly
Krizo has that too

I think Rafa could be fighting for that second place spot at Arnold Brazil
Awesome win Hadi ... Well deserved.. He came in great and was always looking like it was his ...
Arnold made a competitive career of just that.
I wish Milos would bring Samson in flat as a pancake but conditioned to the bone in one of the smaller shows just to see what it would look like.

Seems like it’s not a coaching issue. I just don’t think Samson is willing to suffer enough with the food and cardio
@@TakinProfit So true.
@@aloeblack8853 He will look very stringy if he did that because he doesn't have a lot muscle density

Yeah… if Hadi comes to the Olympia looking like he does here at the Arnold classic. It will be a battle for everyone else for second place.😮
May hadi's victory fill his broken heart during olympia loss 2023❤
Well deserved win for Hadi! So happy for Rafael and James placings. Congrats Sampson, you’ll get the next one big guy!
No sharpening filters on stage 😂
Hadi dominated. If he comes into the Olympia like this, he should get the title back.
Congratulations Hadi on the win! Well deserved!
Arnold is a legend
Did you notice Hadi doing a vacuum pose? I dont think I have seen him hit the vacuum before. Well deserved.
So then go and check 2021 Olympia. But, this was the best Hadi I have ever seen same conditioning as 2021 and 2019 but with about 20Ibs more pure muscle mass.
He has been doing vacuums, but if I recall it right not this type of deep vacuum.

Little huge man how defeat Goliath Americans love this
Rafael looked amazing. He can get closer in olympia
Nah Samson still has too much muscle mass for Rafael.
And too much gut too
I can see him easily placing in the top5/6 this year
If the guy put 10-15 pounds without ruin his midsection he will surpass Sampson for sure.
His figure-silluette will be egual and his muscles are way more defined than Sampsons.

Indeed, Samson DOES have a bubble gut, at least by today’s standards.
I wouldn't call it a bubble gut, just normal gut. Literally any bodybuilder not actively controlling his gut will have it look like this. And that's exactly Samson's problem, he doesn't control it on stage.

As you said, Hadi did a mistake in MO, but everybody does mistake. Hadi is really nice guy. Very humble and down to earth. Bodybuilding needs people like Hadi.
These guys were such hard workers and brought it all. That top 4 was amazing. This Open Arnold really lived up to the expectations!
samson's bubble gut was the difference on the night.
Hadi separated himself from the rest.. amazing conditioning and size!!
Thank you for the recap, I almost forgot that the open bodybuilding show is the center of the Arnold Classic, I spent 95% of my time watching the strongman and strongwoman contests.
Well deserved win.
Brandão looked great. His physique has the best aesthetics. With a little more size and condition he will be top 3 olympia.

When he stretches before side chest his arms turn paper thin in profile. It's ... these guys have 15 minutes in a week to hit foreams from 4 to 6 sides to actually fill them out like they do with back....
Agreed however i think he probably trains them hard but just has bad genetics for forearms. Similar thing for Iain Vallieres calves.
Great video coverage Nick 💯
I wasn't even close! Hadi Hands Down! 💪💪🏆congratulations!
He deserves his win - he’s simply incredible!!!
Mad respect to Hadi, he looks like he is carved from stone amazing conditioning 💪🤜🤛

I also feel Sampson's skin color does him dirty being so dark... Like it "hides" how deep the cuts are
Bro I'm looking through the comments to see if anyone feels that way. And here you are I totally agree. He absorbs the light, it doesn't reflect well off his dark skin. He may need to adjust his tanning oil mixture or something.
There's been more dark skin winner than light. So it can't be a bad thing for him. He's not darker than ronnie and he was diced.

Looked amazing
Hudi lats and back shots is a knock out
Hadis quads says it all wow…his lines are crazy..
Hadi coming back for his throne!
Rafael had the most aesthetic imo though
Arnold is one of the best bodybuilder of all time and the most important person in bodybuilding history IMO
Hadi's structure was amazing as well, look how tiny his waist got!!! That's crazy
100 percent agree with this decision
The Persian 🐺 #1
Yeah well deserved win for Hadi - frankly I also had him winning at the O last year as well, but this was definitely a better package.
So deserved❤
Hadi is in his prime
Hadi should be the new standard in Men's Open Bodybuilding. Kudos to the judges and Arnold himself...
Great show! Way to go Hollingshead, top 5 in the world my man!
Samsons calves are just remarkable!
Suspect calf’s..
The best physique by far onstage,maturity,density,separation on the midsection is surreal.conditioning 100 per cent right
Well deserved 🙌
