Relive the Mr. Olympia 2018 posing routines and comparison rounds before the finals!

Sometimes we are so used to the common repetitions of major competitions throughout the years that we get too confident in our expectations. So it comes as a pleasant surprise that the Mr. Olympia 2018 judging round was full of shocks.

Most notably is Big Ramy – whose massive size has lead to a weaker conditioning similar to what we have seen from him longer ago. The threatening titan physique of 2017 did repeat this year and it seems he will have less of a chance to beat Phil than many had hoped.

Shawn Rhoden on the other hand brought a package that was damn near perfect. He had mentioned in the press conference that he had been studying Phil for weak points… and it shows. Shawn Rhoden looked so impressive that many believe he could potentially take down Phil Heath.

Phil himself came in at a much sharper conditioning – but he does look smaller and his waist, while better than last year, still wasn’t perfect. We expect that Phil will tighten up for the finals round to bring it home… but right now anything goes and it looks to be a battle of Shawn Rhoden vs Phil Heath.
