Iain Valliere he probably realized his chances of making top ten are getting harder and harder. if he competed in the Olympia this year,, top ten would have been difficult at best. plus who knows what is going on with his chest, not to mention his back and lack of triceps.
Iain has some glaring genetic flaws that cannot be overlooked in bb, such as having no triceps and calves, and not to mention his chest is concaving in like Steiner's.
None of those issues are due to his genetics, look at him when he was training under Greg Doucette, he looked like hed be a better version of Dorian Yates given a few years. He screwed up somethinger somewhere along the way because he is a hard worker but many of his muscles either atrophied or became blobs (compare his glutes to when he was younger for example).
Samson looks pretty good while Ian looks amazing? These should be switched around? I am enjoying the changes to this channel. The video editing only gets better. Nice work GOAT!
He's not excited because he knows he can't improve and he hit his peak when he got 7th at the O. So it's a good decision tbh the new talent is way to good for him to ever even crack top 10
A good tall guy will always beat a good short guy..🤷and with Samson's perfect upper/lower balance, it'll be tough for either Hadi or Derek to beat that.
Iain is a favorite of mine, love his frankness in social media. He said he might pursue judging & I applaud this !!!! He is the best at analizing men's and women's physiques on any of the podcasts I listen to. My best wishes to Iain and his wife Melissa as they try to start a family !!
Krishun, i think the O will.come down to what judges will reward most.. between Samson, Derek, Hadi, Nick, they all have strengths over one a another.. if judging keeps following the trend, i have them in the order i described, unless any of them comes off which seems to be very unlikely.. lets see
I think you were a little off on the timing because I think blessing is going to bring a crazy package to the show. Wouldn't it be crazy if after all the Regan height blessing was to beat him. I don't see that happening but I do see blessing being able to stand right there with Nathan mono e mono and I think lesson comes out on top. Regan blessing Nathan in that order
Congrats to Iain v ! Making the best choice for his health ! If you can’t improve guys. Hang it up don’t take more gear ! Less is more ! If ya can’t improve retire it’s simple folks .start doing thripple joint movements! Half iron half free weight simple
Samson needs better conditioning that Hadi has. Samson needs better back that Derek has. Hadi needs size that Samson has. Derek needs bigger quads that Samson has. IMO Samson is a threat to that O title as much as Derek is.
Well said, in my opinion the top four is likely to be extremely close, we will see who has come dialed in when they actually step on stage as the updates pictures and videos look impressive but how it all comes together on competition day may be another story. I believe it will be a four way battle between Hadi, Derek, Samson and Nick. Should go down in history as one of the most competitive Olympia ever hopefully.
Iain said he wasn’t getting excited anymore, well, who would get excited to drop around 5-6 places in the Olympia?! Never should’ve been anywhere near top 10
Iain keep talking shit about other BB then couldn't back it up since last olympia proceed to have weird chest and back still keep talking shit and knew probably wouldn't be able to back it up anymore... now finds all the possible excuses blablabla to get away from competing
Samson's body is New to Trenbologna sandwich.. he just started it late last year.. you are seeing newbie gains .. Iain's muscle Atrophies been catching up on him, gap in his chest is irreversible and final straw, he is also dropping placing at Olympia .
NO HATE YOU GOTTA LOVE WHEN A GUY PUTS HIS HEALTH FIRST AND WANTS TO PUT FAMILY FIRST SO PROPS TO IAN FOR THAT KEEP KILLIN IT BROTHER ON ALL YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVORS BROTHER 🤙🏾💪🏾
Doing one more Olympia wouldn't have killed Iain or his chances of having a child. Active bodybuilders have kids all the time; Brett Wilkin, Shaun Clarida, Blessing, Derek Lunsford, etc. Iain couldn't even do one more prep after 15 years of preps? What bodybuilder wouldn't want to retire on the Olympia stage? This is the first year he gets to prep without having to worry about coaching Cbum and he retires? Something doesn't add up. Where is Nick T to give us the real scoop on why Iain is retiring lol
@@goatfitness but I thought Matt don't miss lol maybe now Matt will have a spot open for Blessing so that Blessing no longer has to be coached by Matt's nephew lol
@@c_rob1 well at least he had the guts to walk away and not tease his fans for years about retiring like Kai Greene, Steve kuclo, Kamal, Keone, James Hollingshead, and others
Ian has always been very weak in confidence and criticisms. He knew his body was falling apart and everyone was going to blow him out of the water. He was going to place outside top 10.
Nah ,all that ish he used to spew, the only reasons mofo retire are #1 he realizes he won't even make the top ten at the Mr. O especially with that F-up chest issue cause regardless of how big a mofo is conditioning brings out strengths and weaknesses, and #2 health issues, so he can say whatever to make himself feel better, but it's just like an athlete who failed a drug test and saying that he didn't know what he was taking. See you on the down size.

Not even Blessing's wife would bet 5k on him beating Regan lol
😂😂😂Right!¡!😂😂😂

Don’t forget valves
He would never have a shot of placing even the top 15 moving forward.
Iain has some glaring genetic flaws that cannot be overlooked in bb, such as having no triceps and calves, and not to mention his chest is concaving in like Steiner's.
That's the main reason - THE END
None of those issues are due to his genetics, look at him when he was training under Greg Doucette, he looked like hed be a better version of Dorian Yates given a few years. He screwed up somethinger somewhere along the way because he is a hard worker but many of his muscles either atrophied or became blobs (compare his glutes to when he was younger for example).
Good for Ian to get away while he's still young & healthy. Winning the Olympia is not everything.
He can't win😂😂😂😂😂
@@vigilant.He cant even crack top 10 with this line up lol
@@vigilant. he could have won if he upped the doses, he only took 1 g of trt weekly, never any tren
Suuuuure, all he had to do was take more steroids… sure pal. As if he didn’t try that in his 10 year career. You are probably new to the sport lol
Fantastic video thank you!!!
I think the negativity from the fans is a big reason for his retirement, almost every win he has fans say he didn't deserve it and bully him online 😒
And fans were right.
His chest retired 2 years ago anyway
Reegan with the ez 5 k blessing is nuts lol 😂😂😂😂 dude has ZERO LEGS 😐
Iain, knows the game has changed. big guys who are aesthetic. hes only going down the placings. but still what will do.
Samson looks pretty good while Ian looks amazing? These should be switched around? I am enjoying the changes to this channel. The video editing only gets better. Nice work GOAT!
Thanks bro, Samson looks absolutely wild. Iain looks pretty good
@@goatfitness lol….yes!
RUclips is a tough gig. It’s great to see talent like yourself put in the hard work to succeed.
Danm Samson might schock us all
If I remember correctly, Branch made top 4 in the 2016 olympia.
He's not excited because he knows he can't improve and he hit his peak when he got 7th at the O. So it's a good decision tbh the new talent is way to good for him to ever even crack top 10
I think "full" is a word that describes Samson Dauda quite good now.
Samson is a Beast.
Keep your eye out for Corey morris think he can challenge E banks soon
Yessir he could be as high as top 3 this year
So iian will still do this year mr oylmpia right .?
No
A good tall guy will always beat a good short guy..🤷and with Samson's perfect upper/lower balance, it'll be tough for either Hadi or Derek to beat that.
He is in denial his body just screams meltdown. Still feel he has made the right choice
Iain is a favorite of mine, love his frankness in social media. He said he might pursue judging & I applaud this !!!! He is the best at analizing men's and women's physiques on any of the podcasts I listen to. My best wishes to Iain and his wife Melissa as they try to start a family !!

Samson Dauda reminds me of Paul Dillet😅
Don't sleep on Wesley. Wesley beat Branch last year at the O too
Branch first have to beat wesley before he gets to terrence :)
I think you were a little off on the timing because I think blessing is going to bring a crazy package to the show. Wouldn't it be crazy if after all the Regan height blessing was to beat him. I don't see that happening but I do see blessing being able to stand right there with Nathan mono e mono and I think lesson comes out on top. Regan blessing Nathan in that order
branch beats Terrance from the front and side, but terrance has a way better back

How is Branch Chen Classic?? His overblown thighs are way too big for what I would consider Classic. He should now compete in the 212 class??
Chen is missing that separation. He has great flow but doesnt have those tiny joints
Samson needs better conditioning that Hadi has.
Samson needs better back that Derek has.
Hadi needs size that Samson has.
Derek needs bigger quads that Samson has.
IMO Samson is a threat to that O title as much as Derek is.

Blessing wife is going to have her way with him!
I think Ian is full of it. Not telling he whole truth
Not really too upset Ian retired. Less sensitive pros the better. I do hope he finds success post bodybuilding though, whatever he ends up doing
Sus that you care how "insensitive" these big buff dudes are... Gross
@@MereCashmereHonestly dude I don't really care what you think. Sensitive athletes annoy me. Feel free to disagree but once again I don't care.
@@leoerus lol 😂 you care enough to respond, you're pretty sensitive my guy
Seems wrong for a classic guy to be so leg dominant. Branch would look better with some of that weight on his upper body
Iain keep talking shit about other BB then couldn't back it up since last olympia
proceed to have weird chest and back still keep talking shit and knew probably wouldn't be able to back it up anymore... now finds all the possible excuses blablabla to get away from competing
Ian retired because it's over , nothing else
Samson's body is New to Trenbologna sandwich.. he just started it late last year.. you are seeing newbie gains ..
Iain's muscle Atrophies been catching up on him, gap in his chest is irreversible and final straw, he is also dropping placing at Olympia .
ur channel d best = youtube kill it = 'youtube' = youtrash
much love big du
thanks brother
Iain its not totally honest.I guess his chest problem it s very big
NO HATE YOU GOTTA LOVE WHEN A GUY PUTS HIS HEALTH FIRST AND WANTS TO PUT FAMILY FIRST SO PROPS TO IAN FOR THAT KEEP KILLIN IT BROTHER ON ALL YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVORS BROTHER 🤙🏾💪🏾

Trigili said Iains physique is declining and he realized Matt Jansen can’t even save him lol
@@goatfitness but I thought Matt don't miss lol maybe now Matt will have a spot open for Blessing so that Blessing no longer has to be coached by Matt's nephew lol
@@raymondjones6273Chris was already with hany for last Olympia, they just didn't announce it right off. Plus as we know, iain knows it's over for him
@@c_rob1 well at least he had the guts to walk away and not tease his fans for years about retiring like Kai Greene, Steve kuclo, Kamal, Keone, James Hollingshead, and others
@@raymondjones6273 keone & Kamal compete multiple times every year lol
What's that hype for Blessing?? This guy has a leg twice the other, shouldn't be top 6 in any show....
Samsons arms are such a distraction
Ian has always been very weak in confidence and criticisms. He knew his body was falling apart and everyone was going to blow him out of the water. He was going to place outside top 10.
Algo comment
Samson looks good in two poses, the rest mediocre
Mens physic is so weird. Chicken legs.
Samsons conditioning looks the same, feel like he is focusing too much on size and his weight
We're still 10 weeks out of the O. He looks plenty on track. Wouldn't be surprised if he's on a maintenance right now.
Lol! He's still months away from a competition. 😂
The only reason Ian retired is because he got beat by Raphael last year and was going to get beat by Krizo this year. He wasn't going to go backwards.
i dont care how mucch samson weighs, his physique is so bland. not a mr O worthy physique.
