I know Steve Weinberger is the head IFBB judge at the Olympia, but does anyone know if the other judges change from year to year or is it always the same panel?

Don't let anyone fool you, its all up to Weinberger, the others are just a formality. Its a business, they're going to push the winner as whoever is most marketable.

Out of everyone in the Olympia this year the biggest WTF out of left field was Chris Bumstead!!! Holy shit that kid was spot on!!! How the fuck did he get 2nd in Classic? Classic looked fantastic and IMO should be the highlight of the competition, not these water buffalos!!! The HGH and insulin abuse will never let these guys come in as conditioned as they need to be!!!

Ramy an Olympia holder?? Thats not going to help the shows a bit. His waist is wide as fuck and his quads overpower everything else. How can we expect proper judging if we can't even get past the basics of a v-taper, balance and a waist under 38"???? I didn't tune into this year's O, I watched a few YouTube recaps, other than that I could give a shit anymore. Make classic physique the top prize money and maybe I'll follow it closer

Dexter and bonac were number 1 for conditioning. Ramy looks better than ever, seems like he's starting to get his conditioning down. I've always liked roelly's physique, always think he should place a bit higher, like top 5. Bonac is going to be amazing if he puts some size on.

I don't know how many fans must Phil Heath have in order to still be more liked than he is hated really

Some thing weird about the chest? Like its too narrow? Ive heard other competitors criticize Heath for having a small frame. Like hes not very WIDE. I can see it there more than ive ever seen it before

Yes he's huge but it just doesn't look rite. Different strokes for different folks but for me it's not what I think of when I picture the perfect body which is what the Olympia idea was in the beginning.........ALSO WHY IS HE WEARING SNEAKERS LOL!
