I don’t even see how this was even close, Hadi clearly won today, something would have to drastically change tomorrow for Samson to have a chance, I would like to have seen John out there next to Hadi and Rafael against Samson
Nah, Samson wins by a landslide. The problem with Samson is alot of the light effects Hadi benefits from is due skin color, so much of the details are highlighted much more if you can clearly see them, which is an unfair comparison for someone with a darker complexion, not sure how they resolve that. Dont think using stronger lighting changes it either, you almost need a separate category for darker shades.
If Hadi fails to get awarded for the package he brought with the win, then I will have lost all faith in the integrity of the Arnold. He looks AMAZING. All respect to Sampson. He is the clear 2nd and no one can come close to him from 3rd place on down. But this is a Hadi win for sure.
Exactly! I don't think Arnold will have the nerve to rig it that bad because it's not close at all, if Arnold did rig it he would turn his show into a farce.
For the record I have Hadi winning as well, but there is a major problem that Tyler Manion pointed out at the O that Hadi has not fixed. He has one quad that is drastically bigger than the other. That throws off his symmetry and balance. That is a major factor in bodybuilding. Again, I have Hadi winning, but we have to remember what the judges said previously.
Hadi should take this relatively handedly. Samsons in second solidly but I’m impressed with Rafael, he’s absolutely added some size and still has great aesthetics
Raf's conditioning isn't quite as good as at the 2022 Olympia but I'll be damned if that added 15 lbs isn't in all the right places. Tremendous off season results. I'm really looking forward to seeing him win a show and tighten up for the O
Heart warming for sure! I just wish he adjusted his poses to hide his waist a bit more, like Arnold did, because i think it costs him when standing to guys like Chris or Ramon
not only Hadi is more conditioned (because he's Hadi) but also he is relativelly bigger than Samson, of course Samson has more absolute size but if you judge their muscle size relative to their height Hadi looks unconfortably big here..
@@MaxSoininen Hadi's waist is a touch wide, but let's be clear: when you're talking about the top 5 in the world, you're not talking about a "reasonable" standard. It's an _un-reasonable_ standard, and it should be! But - and this is key - Hadi's _detail_ through the torso is the more important metric here, and Samson looks like an unformed blob against Hadi in this regard. Milos MUST adjust Samson's protocols and training going forward to have him put MUCH more work in on his abdominal detail. Samson doesn't need to get bigger on the scale, he needs to get more detailed front to back, and just keep grinding away on his back development. Hadi all day and twice on Saturday here 😉- this is a no-brainer win for him unless the judges have lost their minds.
Conditioning overall not really close either.. but this is bodybuilding so unless you are like prime Coleman nothing is guaranteed. This is not even taking to account the politics involved
And a whole separate post for Rafael _freaking BRANDAO!!!_ Damn. Look at him next to James: that says it all. Give him another year to consolidate the size gains and regain his old level of conditioning at this new level of development, and he's absolutely a top-6 Olympian.
Clear Hadi win at pre judging and I was rooting for Samson. If James could ever come in with a defined midsection he would be a threat. Must be a genetic thing.
Man Hadi is even pulling vacuums like it is nothing now. So hes got the crazy abs flex AND the vacuum pose. Dereks going to be pushed to the limit next mr o.
I had no clue why you guys say Samson had more shape than Hadi, If it's true then it's not by any large margin. Hadi's waste is tighter With a better vacuum and a better set of abs.
@@hartattack0725 Hadi's 100% winning here. But let's not be crazy: John de la Rosa does not have the shape to compare with Samson. Just no chance. Sorry.
Are you serious? If you have a set of eyes and a working knowledge of this sport (which you clearly don't) then you will understand the fundamentals of shape. Choopan is a triumph of condition with a massive blocky physique that will soon be trounced by the arrival of genetic superiors! A conditioned Douda is the end of Choopan, plain and simple.
it shows Hadi can still comeback for that Mr.O title he look tight n well balance for a guy that is known as being blocky he even display better x frame than Samson. i said it 3 weeks ago Samson need to watch his midsection and tonight it shows that midsection hurt him
@@ViktorM1 You got that right - and this is coming from a guy who is all in favour of shape and flow being prioritized in the criteria. But Hadi's _detail_ and abdominal control is outstanding. If he can keep bringing his back hardness and separation up, he should be undeniable at the O. That might be a lot to ask for though. Unfortunately, both the 212 and Open 2023 Olympia decisions make it clear that they've gone a little too far in the other direction in rewarding shape right now. Though I can understand penalizing Clarida for the extent to which he blew out his abdomen, that was _absolutely_ not the case with Hadi. Hadi is the rightful 2023 Mr. Olympia, and he looks like he's ready to pull a Jay Cutler in 2024.

Synthol doesn't affect Hadi's conditioning too!

His waist is also at least 4 inches wider then the Defending Champ's waist who is. 6 inches taller and who has better balance and symmetry !

Im a samson fan, but all the time my eyes get drawn to hadi , his conditioning is just that good!
I feel you it was strange I was trying to look at both of them but it was like I could stop looking at Hadi, that was weird.
i was in costant aw seeing hadi look like this. its incredable, hadi's got this in the bag .
Samson is bigger in height but my eyes drawn to Hadi all the time.
The Persian Wolf gets a Arnold trophy to go with his Sandow. Nice!
Hadi got this fr
Game over. Hadi looks at his all time best.
Looks like we are about to witness a Jay Cutler comeback 2.0

Hadi is going to win the Olympia again. His conditioning and how bigger he got this year is just insane! There’s no way Derrick is beating hadi.

Hadi & Wesley both looks sharper they both should win...Hadi wow he looks bigger and sharper and what back shot happy for him
My eyes keep going to Hadi!!!
that midsection on hadi is just insanity
Can we talk about hadi’s vacuum pose??? Amazing!!!
That was impressive 👍🏼👏🏻
Lets hear it for Antoine making it into the first callout! Huge improvement! 💪
Nick is spot on...Hadi is aesthetic as well.
Happy to see Antoine in the first callout. Guy is awesome
So underrated, his front double biceps is better than most of the guys in the first call out
Hadi absolutely annihilates samson in the most muscular, wtff
they did a nice job on the lighting
Samson guts gonna cost him the trophy.
100% agree
glad im not the only one who thinks so. feels like not a lot of people mention this for some reason
Hadi killed it
Rafa looks insane
Hadi has this in the bag , but impressed Antoine’s structure and how it flows
Samson looks like guest poser standing next to Hadi
Was about to write the same thing 😂
Derek definitely watched the show. And the 2024 Mr.O battle started earlier.
Hadi never skips a beat
Raf looks so good y’all. His aesthetics are wild
"That's where Hadi nailed Samson here, Hadis backshots were really impressive" HOL ONNNNN
Antoine is an easy 4th in my eyes with Hollingshead coming in 6th, but besides that I agree with your placings
its Hadi all day
"Hey Samson do an Abs and thighs." "Is it okay if I only show my thighs?"
Hadi 1
Samson 2
Brandão 3
Hadi has won it!!! And Wesley has won it in Classic!!!
Id personally like to see Wesley next to C bum they're both taller competitors.
Raph is so good, wow looks great, legs ARMS.....and a back wide as hell :)
Nick Walker,Hadi Chopan,Derek L:💪💪💪
So happy for Antoine!
Extremely happy to see James in the first callout. Really hoping for a fifth place finish for him, he's looking awesome and he deserves it.
Bring the stage lighting back from the late 90's
The prediction is professional and accurate. Thanks for the great program👍
Bodybuilding is about size, symmetry and proportions, and Samson SMOKES Hadi in any of those categories!
when hadi hit that side tricep shot. It was game over. Kind of reminded me when Nick Walker hit the same sort of pose when he won the Arnold
Your Analysis is spot on. 👌
The side tricep is just the most beautiful pose, and both guys looked great
Thanks a lot for your channel
damn rafael looks so damn good too
And again thanks for your detailed analysis and your observation
I agree, I think Hadi has it. He is just cut to the bone.
To be honest I think this is the best version of Hadi that we've seen since the 2019 Vancouver pro
Thank you for the video Nick 👍🏼🚨
I think they do such a good job with the lighting for the Arnold.
Hadi is the current Mr Olympia. A constant reminder is super necessary
You’re right on with your comments! Great job, breaking it down!
Brandāo looks amazing 👏
Samson midsection is his down fall. Those ab separation don't look good
Looks like Kai Greens
James looks the best he ever has! He is as good as John or better. I would love to see him side by side with rafael
Antoine looks really good. Should be 3 or 4th
Hadi looks so good here. Could this be a back-and-forth for a Mr. O for the first time ever??
Props must also go to the other 4. Rafael, John, James and Antoine. They are all at their absolute best ever. Amazing work
Hdi C is no 1,
And Samson has bubble gut stomach!
