Conditioning isnt everything. The Olympia feels like its almost an x-factor thing and also what ultimately the judges think. Samson just has so many good points. Hadi has conditioning, but Samson has EVERYTHING else. Of course Hadi doesnt like it because that is all he has and cant win otherwise. Sorry but his genetics arent what the judges arent looking for at the moment, that's the way it is. He has already won once, what else does he want. There are lots of great bodybuilders that havent even won a Mr O yet that are coming up real fast. INTERESTING FACT - Blessing Awodibu beat Samson Dauda at the arnold classic in 2017
I dont understand how he feels like they didn't take his conditioning into consideration... he's finished top 2 in the 2 best body building competitions for how many years now? 1st and 2nd numerous times... winning over a million dollars altogether
I like Hadi but conditioning cannot win him everything, there's more to the Mr Olympia package than pure conditioning. Also some of his fans are so disrespectful its crazy.
Na man. Conditioning takes more work than putting on watery size. Get real man. Look at the 90s era body builders. Cmon man and u call urself a true fan. Get real
When I first got into bodybuilding (when Ramy won his first) I always thought Hadi should win and I was on the bandwagon cuz he always looked subjectively better to me. But now seeing the way he acts after every loss, man, I hope he never wins again
Honestly, compare the grace and class Brandon and Ramy showed when losing the title to Hadi's response. Dude's a disgrace to the stage with his total lack of sportsmanship at this point.
I mean look, I get it. Hadi is by far the most conditioned bodybuilder in the Open class. If he won would It have been a surprise ? No it wouldn't have. But Samson offers something that Hadi doesn't which is overall mass and structure. Hadi has or is maxing out his Frame whereas Samson could put on more quality muscle and has a greater potential because of his freaky x frame and structure. Its subjective and dependent on what you like
Bro, I wouldn't want to be the guy holding the check when they announce the winner. Now, Hadi calling out the judges. That's the beginning of the end for him. They will retaliate.
I think the extent to which the criteria have changed is slightly overstated. Yes, they have changed some. But we also never saw a Samson like this face prime Hadi before. It’s possible he would have beaten him in this shape before the criteria changed. As many have correctly said, when you beat the guy in mass, structure and aesthetics, condition does not have to match 100%.
Its a bodybuilding competition, not a leanest physique competition. Open bodybuilding and the bigger, more aesthetic, symmetrical while being lean physique wins i.m.o. And Hadi still has those visibly s.e.o'd shoulders.
Love Seth Feroce. One of the realest most down to earth guys I’ve ever met. Had the pleasure of meeting him multiple times at the warehouse in Pittsburgh. Great guy.
Down to earth? I like the guy but he was talking about how the "liberals" were preparing another Jan 6 over Trump's reelection and we should prepare. He "wasn't sure what they're planning but it's gonna be big". Dude literally no one cared. No one claim stolen anything. It's a peaceful transition. Yet he said get your guns ready...
they always told the same thing. Conditioning is just a check mark to win IF you have everything else. If its not checked - you cant win. But its not the ONLY and main thing. You just should be conditioned to win. Thats why Samson did not win last time. Thats why Ramy did not won against Phil.
I think each era has a look, so standards are allowed to change…but in society today trends are coming and going super fast. From fashion to bodies. I kinda agree with you
I wish this line of thinking would stop being propagated by Nick and other bodybuilding RUclipsrs. Ask literally anybody who was at the show and they’ll almost all say the same thing; Samson inarguably beat Hadi and everybody else on that stage on those two days. Plain and simple. It’s not “they want shape now” or “they want condition now”, what they want is all of the factors that combined make the best bodybuilder on the stage to win so they judge accordingly.
no they do not, not even close, you and most people here have no idea how bodybuilding is judged, and you cant judge because you werent there. samson had amazing condition you just cant see it well in videos, people who say this stuff have never been to a real pro show.
Flex was never robbed... he lacked the mental commitment to go all the way. Dorian even said Flex would have beaten him if he was more committed... as for Ronnie, he outright smoked Flex
Respectfully, Flex wasn't the right ambassador for the title. He was on the party scene a lot. Ronnie had a regular job and stayed humble. Just some nuggets.
@robertprince2651 Nuggets not required. I lived in TX when RC was Mr O. I still cant believe he fit inside of a patrol car. Dorian had an equally long reign and did nothing to move the BB foward. From a BB perspective, I prefer Flex over RC and DY. Hani is amazing but BB, IMO, isn't about who is the most cut. If it was Andres Munzer should have several Sandows.
@T_Prodigy Dorian did nothing to move BB forward? He was the biggest and most conditioned Mr. O at the time and literally changed the standard of bodybuilding for ever... nuggets
You’re leaving out the fact that Samson came in the best shape ever. It had always been the only reason Samson wasn’t Mr O was he wasn’t coming in sharp enough.
I think getting too peeled is getting dangerous. Maybe some of the change in judging away from super dry conditioning is for the safety of the competitors.
I doubt it, based on the Olympia winners in the last few Olympias besides Samson they awarded guys with a mix of good to extremely good almost perfect conditioning.
How not? He's much more conditioned? At end of day even though it's about size it's a bodybuilding competition your suppose to be peeled...whose more peeled then hadi I mean sampson does have more size and shape but idk man
Dude come on, do you see his pointy shoulders and stringy forearms? He doesn’t have the best flow either, not the prettiest physique up there that’s for damn sure. He’s got good conditioning and that’s about it imo, the quality of Olympia winners has been declining and he’s no exception.
@@hugostiglitz5798nahh it was super close last year but Derek deserved it n this year hadi’s legs were downsized meanwhile Samson was at his all-time best
maybe if Hadi had the attitude of a winner he'd start to win. the judges see that stuff. whether they say they do or not. i tought his legs looked softer than normall at the olympia. I hope Feroce comes back. I like what he brings to the sport. mature muscle
@@nickvtguitar546 We aren't talking about the Arnold.... We are talking about the olympia. Where in my opinion his legs werent on like normal. His biggest downfall will be his poor attitude.
Hey, Nick, it's me Tony, absolutely. Your videos should be With more content and longer. Cause you're the very best body building commentator around hands down. And we love you too. Keep pumping
I had Hadi winning the last 6 Olympia’s because I prefer his physique and the condition he comes in. Bodybuilding is very subjective so I’m never surprised with an outcome! I think it was very close and am happy Sampson won, and am excited to see what happens this year at the Arnold and Olympia! Men’s Open is the most exciting and competitive it has been in a long time and I am glad to be a fan during this era!
@NickZoOoR His history is calves that were so far off they detracted from his physique. My brother took years of carrying 300 as an average guy to gradually build up a diamond. This guy did it overnight training the calves up from disproportional unworked skinny ones to the big ones he can show us now.
yooo 30 min video i felt like 10🥺 we eaven need more man, and i made to the end and i liked the video and i wish this video takes way more likes then the others!!🙏 tc thanks!
Hadi shows his real face once again. Last year when he lose to Derek and now. Condition is not everything but that pocket frigde can't understand It. P.s but judges not omitted his poor triceps, poor forearms and synthol shoulders ;).
iI LOVE THE DIRECTION THAT THE SPORT IS HEADING. I WAS A NTIONALLY RANKED BODYBUILDER DURING THE 90S & 2000s, AND I WON SHOWS BECUASE OF MY SHAPE, SIZE, AND SYMMETRY! MY CONDITIONING WAS GOOD BUT IWAS NEVER DIAMOND BECAUSE TO GET THAT LOOK FOR ME I WOULD LOOSE SOME OF THE ROUNDNESS, FULL NESS AND SIZE. AS AN ATHELETE YOU HAVE TO HAVE A BALANCE.
Somewhere around 4:40 Samson stands next to jacked.. holy crap. As far as that front shot andrew jacked takes that one imo. Im gonna point that i predicted andrew jacked was overhyped before and after texas because he just couldn't come in peeled properly. I believe hell be 40 next year. That man needs to find the right coach and he will win the O and it wont be close. If he doesn't take it next year i dont think he ever will.
@@BucketMouthFishing23 andrew had bigger lats and arms, better abs and structure. He takes this pose. I can't believe how overlooked andrew jacked is... His physique is just incredible.
Not a body fat competition it's a bodybuilding competition. Midgets can get conditioned easier but it's not as nice. Big strong Adonis types are fantastic to look at
I don’t think height has anything to do with how conditioned u can be. It’s very very individual and definitely has nothing to do with height or muscle mass.
@@gbp3616 Yes. I do understand. I wasnt refering to the lat spread. Look at them side-by-side at @7:41. I like Blessing. Been a fan since his crazy/funny social media posts. Now, mind your business.
@T_Prodigy its a different angle but I dont completely disagree. Samsons would look more pronounced if the camera was on the same angle as blessing too. Definitely not as much but its exasperated by the camera angle and the fact you never see that on stage
@@gbp3616 Regardless of the angle, it's clear BA is BULKED to the extreme. IMO, he doesnt need all that size. In his last few appearances, his legs are much smaller than his upper body. I hope he bulked them up as well. Last think, Nick makes horrible comparisons. I've been a follower for a while and I miss the days when he did videos on old school bodybuilders like Renel Janvier, Francis Benfatto, Thierry Pastel, Ron Love, etc. I lot of the vids are "click batey". But I'm still here for it. 💪🏾
I’m getting sick of Hadi. He’s a total primma donna. Has no respect for his competitors. He’s never deserved a win in these instances where he was a runner up.
Not gonna lie, I've been wondering where Blessing went. I'm glad to see him putting updates again, I hope he has a good showing. His potential is there
If the current mens open olympia line up is about conditioning then it's fair to say andrew jacked ought to be talked about,he was probably the most conditioned body builder in mens open this year
Best way I would think for this to go live, as you stated, try to shorten the show or even make more content throughout the show, interviews or something. There needs to be more to it. Also, not put it on a main broadcast channel, but stream through Netflix, peacock, or prime would be a better option, seems to work better for WWE PLE events
When will shopen accept the fact that he is built like a fridge and Mr Olympia isnt only about conditioning? Also i think Synthol use isnt the most rewarded aspect
If this was Classic, I would agree when you talk about the "flow" of the physique.... but this is Men's Open. This is the top thrill dragster of bodybuilding.... its all about pushing the limits. Conditioning should always be one of the most important aspect of one's physique in this category.
I really respect Hadi Choupan's amazing conditioning, but I’m not a fan of lightweight, shorter guys winning the Open (Mr. Olympia). I feel like the Open, especially with lighter categories like Classic, Men's Physique, and 212, should focus on rewarding the biggest and heaviest competitors as much as possible
Nick makes excuses for whoever he likes. So inconsistent, it's mind blowing. This channel has been bought and paid for, for about 2 years now. It's very very apparent if uve been watching
Just as a reminder for everyone Hadi’s trophies since his Olympia debut: 2019: 3rd place finisher in Mr.O People’s champ 2020: 4th place finisher in Mr.O 2021: 3rd place finisher in Mr.O People’s champ 2022: Mr Olympia winner 2023: 2nd place finisher in Mr.O 2024: AC Ohio winner AC UK winner 2nd place finisher in Mr.O Just call one man, more awarded than him in BB business after Phil Heath era. Show some respect. 🙏🏻
🥱 ..Mister Olympia is not a competition of who has the best record from previous competitions. it's just bodybuilding where what you bring to the stage and how it looks say all.
I agree + the fact that he had always much more barriers toward trophies, rather than his competitors like bing hearing impair, language issues, visa issues, last minute arrivals at U.S and all those cause a lot of stress and high cortisol level which could ruin a show for a pro body-builder, but he always made no excuses like others and always delivered it.
Right, exactly that’s why he is the best in 2020’s so far, always delivered it, always finished at top 3 spot in every single show he stepped on the stage. And for Not being an excuse maker…
I believe steve the head judge said something like "we're not placing emphasis on condition over the overall package that being shape, symmetry, size and conditioning" he said something along those line samson deserved this as he had the overall package the judges were looking for well balanced
There needs to be a qualifying olympia show! One that has no official broadcast but all the competitors that qualify show up & then the guys who do top 5 or top 10 can get invited to the real show that will be officially broadcasted. That way the actual show can be more condensed & not so long
Conditioning is the hardest part of bodybuilding, therefore it should be the most important factor bc all these dudes r “mass monsters” hadi should be a multiple Mr O rn
4:36 I like the directions it’s headed. Aesthetics over super condition. I think for open we want to see size with an aesthetic look, which sometimes isn’t the most conditioned

Love the new direction. Aesthetics over conditioning
Nick would be out of the olympia if it is not condition but asthetics, No offence to Nick walker but he is the best example i think.
I like Hadi but conditioning cannot win him everything, there's more to the Mr Olympia package than pure conditioning. Also some of his fans are so disrespectful its crazy.
finally, someone in the comments section who speaks the truth amen
I like Hadi too and I agree, but he didn't even look that conditioned from behind. That plus the loss in size lost it for him.
Gyno won

These 212 guys need to accept the fact , if bigger taller guys come in decent shape it very hard for them to beat .
The way Bonac comes flying in to congratulate his friend & is exploding with happiness for him, is such an awesome thing to see!

Hadi shows his real face once again. Last year when he lose to Derek and now. Condition is not everything but that pocket frigde can't understand It.
P.s but judges not omitted his poor triceps, poor forearms and synthol shoulders ;).
What’s more annoying than Hadi’s little temper tantrums are his fanboys, probably one of the worst fanbases in bodybuilding.
@@theodoresurtee1178Yeah..some iranians and brasilian supporters (groupies) are the worst.
@@theodoresurtee1178Iran and Brazil got the worst fanboys
@@theodoresurtee1178The single worst fanbase to ever plague bodybuilding. Period.
iI LOVE THE DIRECTION THAT THE SPORT IS HEADING. I WAS A NTIONALLY RANKED BODYBUILDER DURING THE 90S & 2000s, AND I WON SHOWS BECUASE OF MY SHAPE, SIZE, AND SYMMETRY! MY CONDITIONING WAS GOOD BUT IWAS NEVER DIAMOND BECAUSE TO GET THAT LOOK FOR ME I WOULD LOOSE SOME OF THE ROUNDNESS, FULL NESS AND SIZE. AS AN ATHELETE YOU HAVE TO HAVE A BALANCE.
Somewhere around 4:40 Samson stands next to jacked.. holy crap. As far as that front shot andrew jacked takes that one imo. Im gonna point that i predicted andrew jacked was overhyped before and after texas because he just couldn't come in peeled properly. I believe hell be 40 next year. That man needs to find the right coach and he will win the O and it wont be close. If he doesn't take it next year i dont think he ever will.
He dont come close to taking the front shot. Zero wheels and a thick waist- samson has no weak link
I'm still super salty about Andrew's placing. Looks inhumanly amazing.
@@BucketMouthFishing23 andrew had bigger lats and arms, better abs and structure. He takes this pose. I can't believe how overlooked andrew jacked is... His physique is just incredible.
Great video coverage Nick 💯
Not a body fat competition it's a bodybuilding competition. Midgets can get conditioned easier but it's not as nice. Big strong Adonis types are fantastic to look at
I don’t think height has anything to do with how conditioned u can be. It’s very very individual and definitely has nothing to do with height or muscle mass.
16:39 “heavy HEAVY favorite”. I see what you did there 😂
Love your videos Where's the Roelliy Winkler update
The olympia judges should call out hadi's synthol shoulders
There not moving away from conditioning. Samson simply had stronger areas.
I love that direction because it might keep the sport I bit more safer for everyone in the fitness community.
You can see Blessings midsection from the back. 🤦🏾♂️
Do you understand how guys do a rear lat spread? They push their stomach out to get a perceptively more narrow waist from behind
@@gbp3616 Yes. I do understand. I wasnt refering to the lat spread. Look at them side-by-side at @7:41. I like Blessing. Been a fan since his crazy/funny social media posts. Now, mind your business.
@T_Prodigy its a different angle but I dont completely disagree. Samsons would look more pronounced if the camera was on the same angle as blessing too. Definitely not as much but its exasperated by the camera angle and the fact you never see that on stage
@@gbp3616 Regardless of the angle, it's clear BA is BULKED to the extreme. IMO, he doesnt need all that size. In his last few appearances, his legs are much smaller than his upper body. I hope he bulked them up as well. Last think, Nick makes horrible comparisons. I've been a follower for a while and I miss the days when he did videos on old school bodybuilders like Renel Janvier, Francis Benfatto, Thierry Pastel, Ron Love, etc. I lot of the vids are "click batey". But I'm still here for it. 💪🏾
The longer the better man.Keep it up.
Liked the longer vid 👌
Definitely liked the longer video listened while eating breakfast
He got lucky to win it once!!
nice vid man
I’m getting sick of Hadi. He’s a total primma donna. Has no respect for his competitors. He’s never deserved a win in these instances where he was a runner up.
I like the shorter vids, but I’ll watch whatever you put out
Not gonna lie, I've been wondering where Blessing went. I'm glad to see him putting updates again, I hope he has a good showing. His potential is there
If the current mens open olympia line up is about conditioning then it's fair to say andrew jacked ought to be talked about,he was probably the most conditioned body builder in mens open this year
So early all I see is bots
Best way I would think for this to go live, as you stated, try to shorten the show or even make more content throughout the show, interviews or something. There needs to be more to it.
Also, not put it on a main broadcast channel, but stream through Netflix, peacock, or prime would be a better option, seems to work better for WWE PLE events
When will shopen accept the fact that he is built like a fridge and Mr Olympia isnt only about conditioning? Also i think Synthol use isnt the most rewarded aspect
Killing it!
Hadi, the guy with breast implants in his shoulders
You must be in 3rd grade
I love this long video
Hadi should’ve had at least 2 Olympia’s by now
If this was Classic, I would agree when you talk about the "flow" of the physique.... but this is Men's Open. This is the top thrill dragster of bodybuilding.... its all about pushing the limits. Conditioning should always be one of the most important aspect of one's physique in this category.
I really respect Hadi Choupan's amazing conditioning, but I’m not a fan of lightweight, shorter guys winning the Open (Mr. Olympia). I feel like the Open, especially with lighter categories like Classic, Men's Physique, and 212, should focus on rewarding the biggest and heaviest competitors as much as possible
The translation is off
Don’t try to make the Persian Wolf a villain the wolf loves to win!😮
But he needs to understand you win some u loose some in life that's how it goes
Is that why he keeps losing?
The "Short Class" is no longer in play, so perhaps 212 is his success path forward.
HADI choopadoopas tears taste beautiful
Samson not true winner just like Derek last year. Fakes wins
@@hugostiglitz5798cry about it.
@@hugostiglitz5798 you just cant accept that loss huh. hold this L
Keep ot up nick
Nick makes excuses for whoever he likes. So inconsistent, it's mind blowing. This channel has been bought and paid for, for about 2 years now. It's very very apparent if uve been watching
It's pretty much an outlet for the IFBB propaganda.
I liked the length of the vid
Hadi is the worst ambasador of the sport, without a doubt.
Just as a reminder for everyone
Hadi’s trophies since his Olympia debut:
2019:
3rd place finisher in Mr.O
People’s champ
2020:
4th place finisher in Mr.O
2021:
3rd place finisher in Mr.O
People’s champ
2022:
Mr Olympia winner
2023:
2nd place finisher in Mr.O
2024:
AC Ohio winner
AC UK winner
2nd place finisher in Mr.O
Just call one man, more awarded than him in BB business after Phil Heath era.
Show some respect.
🙏🏻
Should have been at least second in 2019 and 2021. Also should have won 2023. No way you can tell me Bonac was better than him in 2019
🥱 ..Mister Olympia is not a competition of who has the best record from previous competitions. it's just bodybuilding where what you bring to the stage and how it looks say all.
No one cares.
I agree
+ the fact that he had always much more barriers toward trophies, rather than his competitors like bing hearing impair, language issues, visa issues, last minute arrivals at U.S and all those cause a lot of stress and high cortisol level which could ruin a show for a pro body-builder, but he always made no excuses like others and always delivered it.
Right, exactly that’s why he is the best in 2020’s so far, always delivered it, always finished at top 3 spot in every single show he stepped on the stage.
And for Not being an excuse maker…
Nicks strength and podcasts.
Nick, I would say here and there longer video would be appreciated.
Aesthetics is number one conditioning is number two number three is size
Bring back the the profile videos of old school body builders. I really enjoyed those history lessons.
I’m all for the longer version videos
Nick Walker has already confirmed several times that he’s NOT doing the Arnold. He confirmed this on his IG and RUclips channel
Yes! Longer videos are better
I believe steve the head judge said something like "we're not placing emphasis on condition over the overall package that being shape, symmetry, size and conditioning" he said something along those line samson deserved this as he had the overall package the judges were looking for well balanced
There needs to be a qualifying olympia show! One that has no official broadcast but all the competitors that qualify show up & then the guys who do top 5 or top 10 can get invited to the real show that will be officially broadcasted. That way the actual show can be more condensed & not so long
Conditioning is the hardest part of bodybuilding, therefore it should be the most important factor bc all these dudes r “mass monsters” hadi should be a multiple Mr O rn
Of course, we would want a longer video
4:36 I like the directions it’s headed. Aesthetics over super condition. I think for open we want to see size with an aesthetic look, which sometimes isn’t the most conditioned
Blessing has finally reached his final Battletoad form
