Should mention that the uniform backgrounds were partially inspired by Supersetman (see link in the description), a promising upcoming channel that does a lot of bodybuilding comparisons like this. I think Muscle Mutant may have also done this in the past as well...
I agree. I would also brighten up or dim each pic so they look like they have the same lighting. Like for example ramy looks darker because the lighting was darker at the 2020 O
Ronnie was super big and shredded.....that's it and that's what won contests back in the day.....his donut shaped mid section got bigger and bigger over time till it got too big to ignore....it happens to all of us....TBH of the 3 on show I liked Jay the best when he was at his best but he finally went the same way......
would be nice if he could add just a little more detail to the upper thigh. if u look back at 2014 he had this but ever since that area has been smooth on him for some reason
Yeah. That's always been his issue. Those massive thighs are always washed out. I cant help but think of Ronnie's 2019 interview. "None of these guys like theyve been on a diet. Like a real diet" since Ramy got rewarded for improved conditioning and Dennis James says he can get better and theres room to improve gives me some faith
I would say that if he brings up his back, especially the lower back, and maintains this years conditioning he will be unbeatable for the next five years or so.
This is pretty much textbook how Ronnie won his olympias. It's close from the front and side but he's so far ahead of everyone else from the rear you can't beat him.

This is Ramy's first O win. Ronnie had 8 times to get it right and mature. Ramy is still young but he is already up there with the big boys. Thats impressive.
I appreciate the effort with giving them all the same background. One suggestion i’d make is using the same color background for each pose. It’s a little distracting when the background color changes each pose. I’d also pick a texture that’s more muted and contrasts well with their bodies.
I noticed that. That’s not all muscle either. Conditioned abs goes to Ramy first and Jay second. Insane an development goes to Ronnie but those lovehandled obliques put him behind these two in this pose.

Fantastic video as always Tom, for sure the best bodybuilding YT channel out there. And a really nice touch removing the backgrounds out of the pics u used
I like the replacement backgrounds, but try to keep it a little more consistent with brightness. The bright green and blue are a bit distracting. But I like it for easier comparisons.
I really like Big Ramy physique and I would say he is the most aesthetic and he can definitely hold his own against them at least from the front and legs.
Before I even watch here's my answer! Aside from his over sized quads he's got the most pleasing structure of them all. He has super wide shoulders and a small waist by comparison. However there's no "wow factor" to his muscle bellies. If only he had better separation...
yea ramy only lacks those special cuts..his arms look big but boring and a lil bit too small next to his quads. his chest is big but also could need more wow factor somehow. and his back and calves are probably the weakest parts. still, ramy as a paackage is nearly unbeatable. if ramy jsut improves his lower back and back detail, calves and jsut overall even more wow factor conditioning..then its game over :D but if brandon curry improves his legs to a point that his legs keep up with ramys...ramy can go home :D
@@Ahlawy-Masry Ramy also has shorter femurs (upper leg) relative to his height which is why his quads look so freaky. Ramy has a longer torso. The only part of Ramy that I prefer is his tight midsection which is a real tribute considering his size.
Great video as always Tom! You are the best bodybuilding channel in the game! I do like the up-and-coming marks Max muscle he does some pretty good comparisons like you do as well. However I did like the background change, but I think if you just keep one color it’ll make it a little better in my opinion. I thought the color variations made it too crazy, but I’m sure you were just having fun switching it up just to see what looked good. But if you did that for other videos I think one solid color would be good probably a black background just to keep it consistent but I guess boring haha 😆
There are a lot of photos of Ramy going around in comparisons that don't do his condition justice at the O, he really dialed it in if you watched the stream. The photos in this vid are pretty good.
Ramy, even though not as crisp and polished as the other two, still is my favorite Physique out of the three of them simply because of balance and structure. He looks the most massive (which he is, he weighs the most) where as still looking aesthetically appealing as far as mass monsters can look so.
Love the background thing you did. It will look much better with photos from recent competitions. When you do throw back comparisons... there will always be tons of little “issues”
Using your own background aas a good idea, tho I'd have used another Jay if i made the list(even if 2009 is my favourite Jay as well, he had Olympias when he was bigger, and you need size to hang with these 2 big boys)
I mean we seen ramy side by side in 2013 Olympia I think I know Jay was not in best shape still one the biggest he ever was and it was not even funny how much bigger and wider ramy was way better too!
Honestly for me Jay looks my far the best in the back double (from an aesthetic point of view not from a judge's view) , side triceps and abs and tigh , maybe in the most muscular too
You have obviously taken a lot of trouble and attention to detail here, and I must say that am most definitely in agreement with your assessment. Great post.
Jay's conditioning from the back was always sub-par, even in his most conditioned and shredded years. It's more of a genetic thing really, because his abs and thighs were always diced, even when he was off the mark, however his glutes and lower back were always soft. I think it is fair to criticize him for his weaknesses, but still commend him for his MASSIVE strengths. For example: many guys can rock a Christmas tree lower back and have a lot of details throughout the back and be praised for being the best thing since sliced bread, but be washed out in the abs, and still be like, "Ya, but that's more of a genetic thing." Just seems a bit unfair to Jay, ya know. Jay played his strengths and I believe was great for that. I remember when I got sliced and diced, stage ready, and had crazy vascularity and striations throughout my chest and shoulders, and could even see a distinct split in the bicep heads. However, my triceps were not really feathered, nor my quads. I feel like, to this day, Jay in 2009 was the driest he has ever been and pushed his conditioning (and more than likely his health) to his genetic peak, seeing as to how hard his glutes and hams were. His legs were smaller, but even more sliced than ever before. His legs in 2009 were flayed as fk. The best wheels in the history of bodybuilding (for shape and conditioning). Jay even said at one point in his career he didn't train legs for something like 6 months because they shoot ahead of every other body part. He intentionaly made them a bit smaller, so they would look sharper, and he would look more balanced.
@@AlexanderGeorge honestly ramy objectively has the tightest midsection of them all. And jay was not always in condition (see 2007, 2008 olympia) in fact there are only maybe 5 times jay really brought it
He looked best in 98 and 99 with crazy conditioning and great size. But yeah for the most part he’s not the most eye pleasing guy to look at but in terms of just size, conditioning and muscle development he was just so ahead of everybody. From a pure bodybuilding perspective he is nearly impossible to beat at his best. But from a fan’s perspective especially when you weigh the aesthetics a lot more he’s not going to do as well.
@@MegaAhmad1994 it was terrible, especially on Curry, who just looked like a dark spot against a bright background. They need to bring back dark background and more powerful lights.
They should have a day sometime before the olympia where they set up the lighting and camera positions and allow the contestants to check it out so they can work on the best angles and shade for their tan. They really need some pros to improve that lighting, its a disgrace really.
True, coleman especially had a narrow hips, waist and joints wich makes the muscles stand out as well. Phil only weights 240 and killed many guys waay heavier. Prime phil would have beat this ramy easily even if he is 50 pounds leighter Weight does not matter, muscularity does wich is not the same thing.
Tomn8er : did Big Ron or Jay start strumming an air guitar mid-round? Me : Did Big Ramy ever bounce around raising the roof ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 But seriously... will we ever see anyone who looks like they even belong on the same stage as Coleman, from the rear, specifically the rear relaxed or the rear lat spread
Fun video as always. I'll offer up my own thoughts as well. First off, damn, great job using the andro photos for Rammy. Marx Max Muscle is using a bunch of blurry screenshots that do Rammy no justice, so it's great seeing someone use the best photos avialable since they showcase just how dry and detailed Rammy was. Kudos. Also, I think the scaling is somewhat off. This isn't exactly your fault per say, but here's a video by Nick showcasing the size discrepency between Jay and Big Rammy. Rammy is about 2 inches taller. Just check out 2:12 on this video. ruclips.net/video/9nS81DR8WiI/видео.html Big rammy dwarfs Jay, partially from size but also in height. That's a shadow of Jay of course, but it's more so a reference for their overall sizes. Worthy of mention, Rammy's legs are bent at the knees, but he's still taller than Jay. I'd say height wise, Jay's about 5'8-8.5, but he tends to pose without bending at the knees as much. Ronnie is 5'11, and he looks it on stage. Rammy's 5'10 or so, but he bends in a lot of poses so its hard to see sometimes. Anyways, here's what I think of the poses. Front Double - the oddness you're marking for Rammy comes from his torso length, not his upper arm lengths. Rammy has short legs and a long torso, like a toned down Nathan Deasha. I'd give this to Ron, then Rammy, then Jay. Jay's biceps are very assymetrical. You mentioned that not being a huge deal in other videos, but in this case, Jay's left bicep is over twice as large as his right. That Jay's quad sweep is the worst in the shot, as well, and his quads showcase little feathering here. His waist is the widest as well. Rammy's legs are the biggest by far, with Ronnie's calves actually being worse than Rammy's. Rammy also has the narrowest waist by a fair margin. Ronnie's lat taper is better, however, and his arms are very chiseled. Ronnie wins off wow factor in my opinion, but Jay is dead last. He's getting outmuscled by the other two here. Front Lat Spread - I give it to Ronnie. Ronnie fills out the lats a ton, his chest is ultra striated, and his narrow stance would make him appear around 2-3 inches taller than the others here. Rammy's second for the reasons you mentioned, and Jay just looks undersized compared to these guys. Oddly enough, he's getting bullied, but that makes sense since he's giving 30-40 pounds to the other two competitors, and he's the shortest as well. Side Chest - It's tough to say. I lean towards Rammy because he's polished throughout the pose, unlike Ronnie. Ronnie isn't sucking in his midsection much, if at all. Jay's doing an admirable job there, but he's just undersized compared to these other two. Something worthy of note, Rammy's brachialis and bicep separate very well in this pose. Just something I noticed. Back Double - Ronnie is a different animal. Great analysis. Back Lat Spread - Ronnie is a different animal. I agree. Side Tricep - I agree with your points. Rammy needs to work on his technique, because I think with flexed abs and proper tricep flexing, he'd run away with this one. Ab and Thigh - I agree. Most Muscular - Rammy needs to stick to poses that highlight his structure, narrow waist, and lets him show off detail. His hand on hip variations do that, but his crab and hands clasp don't. I personally think Jay is getting outmuscled in these shots. His quad sweep is inferior to Rammy, his waist is much wider, and he lookst he least 'muscular' so to speak. Overall, I give Ron the nod and Rammy a firm second. Personally, I think Jay's not as great in 2009 as people think. They beleive every shot of his was like his quad stomp, but in reality, he wasn't that impressive across all the mandatories. He has strong shots like the ab and thigh/side tricep, but his other shots lack the alien appearence that rammy/Ronnie have. In this comparison, that's showcased to its fullest. Great video though, and you always do a great job of remaining unbiased.
Great points and I can see the validity of your arguments for each pose. The one thing I would caution is that Ramy-Jay height comparison in NSP's vid. First off you can't see their feet, which is an automatic red flag, but it looks like Ramy is standing slightly in front. Depending on camera angle, a couple inches closer to the audience could equate to an inch or two of height, easily. Trying to gauge heights of guys, even while standing together on stage, is an extremely fickle process and can be misleading IME.
@@Tomn8er Yeah, I tried to word my critiques without any harshness, as scaling is a fickle beast. Here's an example of another side by side comparison where you can see the difference in heights between the two, and sorry it's a super long google link: www.google.com/search?q=2013+ramy+vs+jay+cutler&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjN6oDZpYjuAhWRoFMKHSrzCMUQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=2013+ramy+vs+jay+cutler&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQA1Dg9wVYn_sFYIX8BWgAcAB4AIABQIgBf5IBATKYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ8ABAQ&sclient=img&ei=YzH2X42tLZHBzgKq5qOoDA&bih=647&biw=1253&client=opera&hs=qIK#imgrc=UZlDJXY57jCLtM&imgdii=Vi5AaOZ9QSOwGM You can't see their full feet, but there's most of them there. Even tilting back, Rammy's still taller, and his shoulders are substantially higher. Some of that could be the angle, but I'm doubtful the angle can make up that kind of height difference.
He’s shorter than both ramy and Ronnie and of course in 2009 he was not at his biggest, I think if it was 2006 then he would look bigger but not as conditioned
Should mention that the uniform backgrounds were partially inspired by Supersetman (see link in the description), a promising upcoming channel that does a lot of bodybuilding comparisons like this. I think Muscle Mutant may have also done this in the past as well...
They look god man
Agreed , super cool. It really highlights the differences 🙏big boyzzz.
Great backgrounds
Ramy weighs more because he is significantly softer. Ramy deserved this year's olympia but he loses to both Ronnie and Jay.
The back photo from ramy and ronny is different ... rammy needs more oil and light .. but in the mid back section ron is more defined.
I really like it when the background is all the same instead of three different ones, so I would say keep it, but that's just my two cents
Yes, I immediately had a sigh of relief when I first saw that. Never realised how distracting the different backgrounds were until now.
I agree. I would also brighten up or dim each pic so they look like they have the same lighting. Like for example ramy looks darker because the lighting was darker at the 2020 O
yeah its much more pleasing to look at
Two more cents from me 👍🏼
Agreed
Ronnie has back muscles that don't appear on anatomy charts lmao how can anyone compete?
Lol
like where?
@Nikos Alpha the 9:00 shows that he is so dry his skin is like paper wtf are you saying, that he was not conditioned?
Ronnie was super big and shredded.....that's it and that's what won contests back in the day.....his donut shaped mid section got bigger and bigger over time till it got too big to ignore....it happens to all of us....TBH of the 3 on show I liked Jay the best when he was at his best but he finally went the same way......
@Nikos Alpha you are blind
The biggest thing I noticed is Ramy had awful lighting compared to Jay an Ronnie. It really is a shame.
he literal has the best cameras compared to them both. U remember the tech then?>
Bad lighting did not make Ramys arms too short his quads too big his back pancake thin etc etc
@HosseinMousawi he still isn't better then both of them anyway. he is the biggest of his era but Phil still better career wise.
@@Mike-qo4kp Not shit sherlock, but it does make his conditioning worse
It’s amazing that the olympia organizers still fuck up things like lighting.

@@Ahlawy-Masry What does that have to do with the comment lol
If Ramy can continue to come in more conditioned going forward, he'll make a strong legacy.
Agreed. Just needs to maintain his conditioning and no one can match him.

1:28 goes to ramy, lats, quads and mid section

3:47 Ronnie wins back
4:57 goes to ramy, lats, midsection v cut and quads
6:02 ramy, abs, quads, shoulders
6:50 ramy, forearm striations, hamstrings
8:17 Ronnie back, hamstrings
8:52, 9:40 Ronnie back and hamstrings
10:22 ramy, waist, legs
11:59 ramy waist (otherwise Ronnie wins)
13:51 ramy again tightness of the waist
14:51 ramy waist and symmetry
15:51 Ronnie shoulders, chest, traps and biceps

@@Ahlawy-Masry Ramy also has shorter femurs (upper leg) relative to his height which is why his quads look so freaky. Ramy has a longer torso.
The only part of Ramy that I prefer is his tight midsection which is a real tribute considering his size.
Ramy's abs look the most normal.
Wtf?
It's a shame Ramy's lighting/oil doesn't pop as much. Definitely causes my eyes to drift towards Jay or Ronnie.
This is so true, you may even see a rant win with the same conditions, the lighting was even better for jay than it was for ramy as well
Nice comparison video, the shots are interesting but it's always hypothetical unless they are actually together.
Background effects were amazing bro
Tomin8er like terminator… I get it
Great video as always Tom! You are the best bodybuilding channel in the game!
I do like the up-and-coming marks Max muscle he does some pretty good comparisons like you do as well.
However I did like the background change, but I think if you just keep one color it’ll make it a little better in my opinion.
I thought the color variations made it too crazy, but I’m sure you were just having fun switching it up just to see what looked good.
But if you did that for other videos I think one solid color would be good probably a black background just to keep it consistent but I guess boring haha 😆
really love the backgrounds make it so much easier to judge
LOLOLOL The background makes some of these photos look like picture day at elementary school
I didn't think of it that way until you said lol
Loved the video. Hearing Ronnie and Ramys names over and over was tricky knowing who you were talking about.
Thank you for removing the ads
You're photoshooped backgrounds are awesome!!
My man keeps pushing content! Great job man! I like your videos even from waaay back in the day, even tho I changed accounts I always subscribe back!
Man, I love all of your vids. Keep it up!
There are a lot of photos of Ramy going around in comparisons that don't do his condition justice at the O, he really dialed it in if you watched the stream. The photos in this vid are pretty good.
The result here was about spot on... what would you say he did better? If anything Jay is totally undersold by these photos.
@@Shm00ly Yeah I don't have a problem with anything Tom says I was referring to elsewhere.
Bullshit. He was not in really good conditioning
His conditioning can't compare to Phil's, let alone Ronnie's, Jay's and Dorian's.
Best BB channel by a mile. Keep up the good work, buddy! 😎
Ramy, even though not as crisp and polished as the other two, still is my favorite Physique out of the three of them simply because of balance and structure. He looks the most massive (which he is, he weighs the most) where as still looking aesthetically appealing as far as mass monsters can look so.
The backgrounds helped be able to compare them a lot feels like they’re in the same room
why doesn't anyone talk about ronnie's bubble gut?
Ronnie has cult like fanbase, which overestimate him.
its old news. no1 cares about it now
Bro look at the hands on hip. No way that goes to ronnie with that horrible mid section. Ramy is perfection in that pose
Ronnie is wider than phil
@@Обзорыинтересныхпрограмм No, Ronnie has haters who underestimate him.
Love the background thing you did. It will look much better with photos from recent competitions. When you do throw back comparisons... there will always be tons of little “issues”
To me, 2009 Jay Cutler is just UNBEATABLE !!!
Good video. The effort you put into these is appreciated from the fans.
YES! Neutral backgrounds please! IFBB, please take notice!
The altered backroubnds were perfect, not distracting at all and added a little more zest with the coolness of it all. 10/10
Using your own background aas a good idea, tho I'd have used another Jay if i made the list(even if 2009 is my favourite Jay as well, he had Olympias when he was bigger, and you need size to hang with these 2 big boys)
Awesome video Tom, i would suggest to use the same color background for every pose.
I mean we seen ramy side by side in 2013 Olympia I think I know Jay was not in best shape still one the biggest he ever was and it was not even funny how much bigger and wider ramy was way better too!
I appreciate the objectivity in this video and that's why I'm subscribed.
Like for the background edit, please do that in every video... finally i can use my eyes to compare
Agree
0:43 “not even fit to wash jay’s posing trunks” 😂
Big Ron all the way but cutlers color is perfect
#1 ronnie coleman
#2 jay cutler
#3 big ramy
Big Ramy is the more aesthetic version of the two while staying that mass monster size
no?
Honestly for me Jay looks my far the best in the back double (from an aesthetic point of view not from a judge's view) , side triceps and abs and tigh , maybe in the most muscular too
The black background is really good, you can focus more on the imagines
Happy new year tom, lets wait for ramy like a couple of years he'll come to his own💯🔥
Always looking forward to your videos
You have obviously taken a lot of trouble and attention to detail here, and I must say that am most definitely in agreement with your assessment. Great post.
I like them all for different reasons, but man I love Jay's posing. He somehow kept that enormous amount of muscle flowing.
I like the black background! And the same neutral backgrounds .
Liked the analysis. I'm not a fan of Ramy but you made some good points, liked the Phil reference
Jay's conditioning from the back was always sub-par, even in his most conditioned and shredded years. It's more of a genetic thing really, because his abs and thighs were always diced, even when he was off the mark, however his glutes and lower back were always soft. I think it is fair to criticize him for his weaknesses, but still commend him for his MASSIVE strengths. For example: many guys can rock a Christmas tree lower back and have a lot of details throughout the back and be praised for being the best thing since sliced bread, but be washed out in the abs, and still be like, "Ya, but that's more of a genetic thing." Just seems a bit unfair to Jay, ya know. Jay played his strengths and I believe was great for that.
I remember when I got sliced and diced, stage ready, and had crazy vascularity and striations throughout my chest and shoulders, and could even see a distinct split in the bicep heads. However, my triceps were not really feathered, nor my quads.
I feel like, to this day, Jay in 2009 was the driest he has ever been and pushed his conditioning (and more than likely his health) to his genetic peak, seeing as to how hard his glutes and hams were. His legs were smaller, but even more sliced than ever before. His legs in 2009 were flayed as fk. The best wheels in the history of bodybuilding (for shape and conditioning). Jay even said at one point in his career he didn't train legs for something like 6 months because they shoot ahead of every other body part. He intentionaly made them a bit smaller, so they would look sharper, and he would look more balanced.
LOVE the new backgrounds...keep that up!! for sure bro
I think Jay Cutler would win to Ramy in a lot of the poses. My opinion.
What poses do you give to jay and to ramy may i ask
@@stephencurran2284 I would also like to know, just for info
I was honesty surprised how well did ramy stand against these 2. I would atleast hesitate to put him under Jay.
I prefer Cutler's physique compared to both Ronnie and Big Ramy. He was a bit blocky but he always came in condition and never had a bubble gut
@@AlexanderGeorge honestly ramy objectively has the tightest midsection of them all. And jay was not always in condition (see 2007, 2008 olympia) in fact there are only maybe 5 times jay really brought it
You did great on the cropping. Idk how you can get much better than what you did. 👍🏼
I never really find Ronny Colman is very eye pleasing to me I’m sorry if I offended some people but to me Jay and Ramy are much more eye pleasing
He looked best in 98 and 99 with crazy conditioning and great size. But yeah for the most part he’s not the most eye pleasing guy to look at but in terms of just size, conditioning and muscle development he was just so ahead of everybody. From a pure bodybuilding perspective he is nearly impossible to beat at his best. But from a fan’s perspective especially when you weigh the aesthetics a lot more he’s not going to do as well.
Wonder why 🤔
Great vid as always.
Big Ramy's side chest will go down in legend. The way he hit it in the Olympia this year was absolutely tremendous and original.
I don’t agree. He doesn’t have the arms to make the side chest a big wow.
but I agree, yep, it was legendary.
This is an excellent video
Thanks buddy
No problem 👍
The quality of the lighting... hasn’t improved through the years
i think it got worse
@@MegaAhmad1994 it was terrible, especially on Curry, who just looked like a dark spot against a bright background. They need to bring back dark background and more powerful lights.
They should have a day sometime before the olympia where they set up the lighting and camera positions and allow the contestants to check it out so they can work on the best angles and shade for their tan.
They really need some pros to improve that lighting, its a disgrace really.
Ramy has a bigger frame, but not bigger muscles, Coleman and Cutler packed a lot of muscle on their frames and still got shredded.
True, coleman especially had a narrow hips, waist and joints wich makes the muscles stand out as well. Phil only weights 240 and killed many guys waay heavier. Prime phil would have beat this ramy easily even if he is 50 pounds leighter Weight does not matter, muscularity does wich is not the same thing.
Tomn8er : did Big Ron or Jay start strumming an air guitar mid-round?
Me : Did Big Ramy ever bounce around raising the roof ?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But seriously... will we ever see anyone who looks like they even belong on the same stage as Coleman, from the rear, specifically the rear relaxed or the rear lat spread
Dorian is about the only one. And perhaps Phil.
I agree with every pose you placed them
Great video
Fun video as always. I'll offer up my own thoughts as well.
First off, damn, great job using the andro photos for Rammy. Marx Max Muscle is using a bunch of blurry screenshots that do Rammy no justice, so it's great seeing someone use the best photos avialable since they showcase just how dry and detailed Rammy was. Kudos.
Also, I think the scaling is somewhat off. This isn't exactly your fault per say, but here's a video by Nick showcasing the size discrepency between Jay and Big Rammy. Rammy is about 2 inches taller. Just check out 2:12 on this video. ruclips.net/video/9nS81DR8WiI/видео.html Big rammy dwarfs Jay, partially from size but also in height. That's a shadow of Jay of course, but it's more so a reference for their overall sizes. Worthy of mention, Rammy's legs are bent at the knees, but he's still taller than Jay. I'd say height wise, Jay's about 5'8-8.5, but he tends to pose without bending at the knees as much. Ronnie is 5'11, and he looks it on stage. Rammy's 5'10 or so, but he bends in a lot of poses so its hard to see sometimes.
Anyways, here's what I think of the poses.
Front Double - the oddness you're marking for Rammy comes from his torso length, not his upper arm lengths. Rammy has short legs and a long torso, like a toned down Nathan Deasha. I'd give this to Ron, then Rammy, then Jay. Jay's biceps are very assymetrical. You mentioned that not being a huge deal in other videos, but in this case, Jay's left bicep is over twice as large as his right. That Jay's quad sweep is the worst in the shot, as well, and his quads showcase little feathering here. His waist is the widest as well. Rammy's legs are the biggest by far, with Ronnie's calves actually being worse than Rammy's. Rammy also has the narrowest waist by a fair margin. Ronnie's lat taper is better, however, and his arms are very chiseled. Ronnie wins off wow factor in my opinion, but Jay is dead last. He's getting outmuscled by the other two here.
Front Lat Spread - I give it to Ronnie. Ronnie fills out the lats a ton, his chest is ultra striated, and his narrow stance would make him appear around 2-3 inches taller than the others here. Rammy's second for the reasons you mentioned, and Jay just looks undersized compared to these guys. Oddly enough, he's getting bullied, but that makes sense since he's giving 30-40 pounds to the other two competitors, and he's the shortest as well.
Side Chest - It's tough to say. I lean towards Rammy because he's polished throughout the pose, unlike Ronnie. Ronnie isn't sucking in his midsection much, if at all. Jay's doing an admirable job there, but he's just undersized compared to these other two. Something worthy of note, Rammy's brachialis and bicep separate very well in this pose. Just something I noticed.
Back Double - Ronnie is a different animal. Great analysis.
Back Lat Spread - Ronnie is a different animal. I agree.
Side Tricep - I agree with your points. Rammy needs to work on his technique, because I think with flexed abs and proper tricep flexing, he'd run away with this one.
Ab and Thigh - I agree.
Most Muscular - Rammy needs to stick to poses that highlight his structure, narrow waist, and lets him show off detail. His hand on hip variations do that, but his crab and hands clasp don't. I personally think Jay is getting outmuscled in these shots. His quad sweep is inferior to Rammy, his waist is much wider, and he lookst he least 'muscular' so to speak.
Overall, I give Ron the nod and Rammy a firm second. Personally, I think Jay's not as great in 2009 as people think. They beleive every shot of his was like his quad stomp, but in reality, he wasn't that impressive across all the mandatories. He has strong shots like the ab and thigh/side tricep, but his other shots lack the alien appearence that rammy/Ronnie have. In this comparison, that's showcased to its fullest.
Great video though, and you always do a great job of remaining unbiased.
Great points and I can see the validity of your arguments for each pose. The one thing I would caution is that Ramy-Jay height comparison in NSP's vid. First off you can't see their feet, which is an automatic red flag, but it looks like Ramy is standing slightly in front. Depending on camera angle, a couple inches closer to the audience could equate to an inch or two of height, easily. Trying to gauge heights of guys, even while standing together on stage, is an extremely fickle process and can be misleading IME.
@@Tomn8er Yeah, I tried to word my critiques without any harshness, as scaling is a fickle beast. Here's an example of another side by side comparison where you can see the difference in heights between the two, and sorry it's a super long google link:
www.google.com/search?q=2013+ramy+vs+jay+cutler&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwjN6oDZpYjuAhWRoFMKHSrzCMUQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=2013+ramy+vs+jay+cutler&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQA1Dg9wVYn_sFYIX8BWgAcAB4AIABQIgBf5IBATKYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ8ABAQ&sclient=img&ei=YzH2X42tLZHBzgKq5qOoDA&bih=647&biw=1253&client=opera&hs=qIK#imgrc=UZlDJXY57jCLtM&imgdii=Vi5AaOZ9QSOwGM
You can't see their full feet, but there's most of them there. Even tilting back, Rammy's still taller, and his shoulders are substantially higher. Some of that could be the angle, but I'm doubtful the angle can make up that kind of height difference.
" a certain 7X MR Olympia can tell you about that" lol 😆 great video Tom!
Keep removing the background. One less distraction when comparing.
I appreciate all the time you take when making these videos.
Great video as always. I cant freaking stand how people are too caught up in the past to objectively compare the current crop of guys.
I really like this video, but I can’t get over how small you made Jay looked😅
He’s shorter than both ramy and Ronnie and of course in 2009 he was not at his biggest, I think if it was 2006 then he would look bigger but not as conditioned
@@arvidpetersson2252 you can check the videos of Ramy next to Jay on stage, as they competed with each other.
Excellent work keep it up
