#197 - 2026 Arnold Classic Recap!

0:00We don't just fight insurance companies, we train for it. If you want results, get a lawyer that puts in the work. Do you trust a lawyer that doesn't train? 102 or a lawyer that quits when it gets tough. Pacific West injury law were built to win. How much water do you drink in the morning? I drink almost two gallons of that. The first thing when you get up in the morning, do you drink water? In quality? In quality or cardio? I said I'm doing cardio, he goes, what's that? What is that though? Is this Spanish flavor? He's shredded again. Don't you have to cardio? I don't believe in cardio. I don't believe in cardio. Yeah, cardio is gay.

1:00So how does gay? So be a man. Train your fat off. Okay, so now. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. That means if Milos is your coach, and he asks you to do cardio, you know what he thinks of you. No, I'm good. Oh, by the way, Milos, your former client looks absolutely ridiculous. He's kind of enormous. Like in person. In person. Yeah. Insane. He's massive. Yeah, I'm asking. I mean, that's coming from you, Jay. You've been the monster yourself. Have you seen, have you seen, do you saw him come out on stage? I mean, I think he was always enormous. He's big. And now he went to the other lab. Yeah, I said stuff. Yeah, well, listen. You know, he's. He's doing exactly what he needs to do. Day. Be as big and full and.

2:00You know, without crazy effort. You know, he's just doing the protocol of just training, eating, sleeping, not traveling extensively, and focusing on bringing the best package. He has the genetics. I said that. You know, I kept talking about the Andrew Jack structure. It's funny after I saw Samson. We had a little chat backstage. And I had a, like, say, the Andrew structure. Nice. Well, we'll see when he has to stand next to Samson. Those two are going to be crazy. Well, if you remember, while I was still coaching Samson, he asked me about Andrew. I said on this podcast that Andrew actually has a better structure. He's wider. You know, Samson is thicker. Samson had those limbs, a little bit different, right? Andrew has the way better arms, but Samson has the way better legs. You know, so. And that was apparent. And that was deciding factor of Samson beating Andrew for quite some time.

3:00The thickness of the tree trunks. And when he turns around, Samson was just like, take care. I still think it's that. That case. Yeah. Yeah. I still think that I still can see, you know, me being a guy that like, we're all going to have our preferences. And we'll talk about it. Andrew filled in a lot of the gaps, but I can still see where like they asked about, what do you think about Derek next to? And you know, we, we, we talked freely on this about Derek. But this last year with Derek's side poses, how thick he was. And like, he did really, and a year of training for Derek, comparable to like, the times where he'd last year or he'd have stripped down all year. I think it's going to make a huge difference for him. So, so well, let me ask you a couple of things. You said yourself. A couple of times Andrew Jack still needs to be thicker. He looks kind of stringy. That's the word you use. Okay. I hate even using that.

4:00Yeah. I know it's well over 300. It's ridiculous to say it, but I know exactly what you mean. When he was stirred behind Samson and Nick Atama Classic, they told Chris Aceda as much as we have to say. He looks great and all that stuff. He's wild. He needs more size. But when you look at Andrew, what does he need size? Let me just put it, the already in perspective. He has probably the best back double biceps upstairs. The thickness with conditioning biceps, triceps, brachialis, upper body, thickness that he improved and back is ridiculous. And he wasn't even in top, top, top condition. Yeah. But there he has the thickest back, thickest shoulders, thickest biceps, triceps. Okay. So, what does he need size? The only thing that he needs size on his side is his side leg.

5:02Yeah, exactly. But he's six, whatever, two, three, I don't know. Right, six, two. So, six, two, and those limbs and the femur. You know, how do you stretch the quadricepsis, quadricepsis, bone is bone. Yeah, you don't, you don't, it's just who he stands next to, which is what a bodybuilding contest is. Yes. And on the basis of that, you can see that it may be hodic and sometimes proportionally pumped, propane, the square inch, look thicker with the bigger legs. But if you compare the legs, they're goddamn, Andrew has so much bigger legs, arms, back, everything. Fitclips started right here at the strip of Hossianda indicator.

6:04Fitclub Las Vegas now with three locations. So before we get into the breakdown, Milo shouldn't go this year. Just talk about how ridiculous this Arnold was. You know, biggest crowd production, not totally on point. I felt like, you know, they just, I mean, we're back. You know, I mean, it's, it's back full tilt. I mean, Ronnie and I, we had those, those photo ops. I mean, those were the busiest we've ever been. Yeah, it was just the team up ones we had. I was like, we were going well for an hour straight of like, boom, boom, boom. They do about 500 pictures an hour. So, you know, if any of those people send a picture with Jay smiling, they have a free liquid pump from Jay. No, you didn't check the last time podcast though. And do we check on? No, I'll go through it. Yeah, but anyway, Jay doesn't smile. No, I smile at all. So if anybody says a picture, talk about the young LA booth. Yeah, the young LA booth was just absolutely incredible.

7:05They had like an upstairs platform where they had some of the meat and greets going on, but they had cars up there. I don't know if you saw the pictures, but they shot them down on Saturday. Fire Marshal came in and said, no, too busy, too busy, too many people, too many people try to get there. They had no free shirts, shirts. The shirt line was all the way to from one end of the expo to the other because they were at the further end. So think of it like this, Milesh. We've been to expos all over the world. Sometimes the shows will sell out like the Friday night show or Saturday night show. This is the first time I've ever been to an expo ever where the expo sold out, meaning they put a post up saying if you don't have a ticket, don't come tomorrow because your money is not good. We can't legally sell you a ticket. They just shut the box office down. I've never seen that anywhere. And what Brian said on Saturday night, that is the Arnold is now the third largest expo trade show. I guess it's second now. In America, meaning any industry. I'm assuming like CES and a couple other ones. The third largest, which is, I mean, think about it.

8:07You're going against electronic companies, car companies, gun companies, all kinds of stuff for our industry to have the third largest in America. Thousand boots. I think over 300. But the boots were on a different. Not even a thousand. Well, you got to think too. The boots aren't two, three grand anymore. It was huge. It was packed from wall to wall. And the show was just ran. Yeah, he came right over as he came in. They escorted a man. He came over and gave me a hug. How you doing? I asked him if he was healthy. He said, yeah, it was good. And I took over podcast. Well, we were, we were, we were doing a photo like a meet and greet while he came in. And he was over. I saw them shouting out. But all in all, I mean, you know, they, they just, they just got everything right over there. I mean, their staff, the best. The Arnold was there early this year. So he was like really available.

9:07And we spent a lot of time together. You know, we did seminar and sunny together. Anything planning, he said. Oh, he's funny stuff. He was talking about, you know, during the seminar and talked about like the stuff with Franco. And, you know, how he used to get him drunk with wine. So we could beat him in chess. And the Arnold's a huge chest. There's a lot of chess. Yeah. He just talked about like how much he loves training and talked about films. And, you know, they talked about like a twins part. They part to part two twins or predator or they talked about a bunch of stuff. That'd be kind of funny if they did it years later. Now they're both old and Danny. I remember last time he said, there are only three kind of people in this world. Remember that drug? Those that can count and those that can't. Exactly. Great. Take two. Hey, guys, if you have not heard, I've launched my own TRT clinic. TRT Kingdom is now live. And if you'd like to schedule on consult or get more information, make you guys go over, check it out.

10:07And let us see how we can help with your health needs. Click the link below. Shit. Click the link below. Click the link below. But it was awesome. It's a great weekend. You missed it. Yeah. You were at the fights. Texting me while I was fighting. Yeah. I was listening a report from Manager Math because, believe it or not, he's one of the most accurate. Every time he sees an unbiasedly commentates and gives prediction. So, can I say what you predicted? Right away, first as Andrew hands down. But then, through the prejudging and by the end of the prejudging, he could see highly winning. And this is how, you know, I saw it also. And you don't probably watch it. So, let's put a few things in perspective. In last, let's say, seven years, who would you say is the biggest threat and the best bodybuilder in the world? Audi.

11:07Okay. So, let's put it that way. Audi, you know, is feared one because everybody knows if Audi comes... In razor condition. In razor condition. So, let's talk about this one. Every time he was in razor condition, he lost pretty much except Arnold Classic. The Olympia 2022 is the first time when they came a little bit fuller. And I can only assume now that we can analyze this. Why did Audi lose to Derek at the Olympia? What did they say? Back side. They say, the size. They say that Derek outsize him, you know. So, I can only imagine that again, if you keep coming and keep losing and, you know, okay, so what do they want? What do they want? I think that probably Audi played a little bit of a size game, you know, to get a little bit bigger because now he's going against the monster like Andrew and Nick.

12:14You know, so I could assume this. I still think that Audi should just go with the trademark peel to the bone, dry as a desert. And he was close. He was right there. He was not in the beginning of pre-judging. But as pre-judging went on, he got harder and harder. But he hardened from the front. Do you think he can be penalized for what he used to look? Of course. That's not right. Regardless of what he looks like today. It should be what you look like compared. I'm sure a lot of people always assume he's going to be that nasty. And he's not. They go up, he's off. But his off could still be better than some people's on. Yeah, I think that's just human nature, I think. I think that from the front, he was out conditioning everybody. Listen, Saturday night, it was the typical from the front. If he would have looked like that on Friday, we might have a different story.

13:14But even, you know, I saw the scorecards and this was what was confusing for me. How he was still in third on Saturday. And he looked the typical nasty, gnarly, shredded hottie that we've become used to. What do you confuse me? What do you think, Jay? Listen, I mean, I think the top three could have gone anyway. That's how close it was. Everyone had certain body parts that were better. Condition, that was better, but Nick overall had the best condition. From the back. Yeah, I couldn't. I mean, listen, I'm not a judge. So don't take this as criticism like the judging. But I just, I mean, Nick didn't, he looked great both nights. So you talk about, you know, 50, 50. And that's probably why he ended up second place. You know, I mean, it came down to a structure thing. I mean, I think he was in better condition than Andrew for sure. Yes. Yeah, but how much better? I mean, that's what it was. It was pretty noticeable. Noticable. It was not visible in the hamstring.

14:15And that's it. I mean, let's be real. Noticable conditioning difference was in the hamstring. Hamstring. Okay. So that was done. But it was highly, highly, highly, highly noticeable. Yeah, in those areas. Yes. That, yeah. And his back is very good. Nick is actually, I think, the only one from the lower half to be. When you talk about the arms of Andrew Jack in the back double, you know, how he's got the crazy arms. But Nick does too. The arms are pretty damn impressive too. Yeah. I would say before the Nick has the best arms until I've seen Andrew Jackson. Andrew still makes it. I mean, it's his, Andrew Jack's triceps actually like this. Hanging. Yeah. Like the 200 pounds. Yeah. I think, you know, I don't think Nick could get any better than what he was there. I don't think he can. Okay. As far as condition. I think I did post some pictures because I was very impressed. Did he manage to keep the abs super tight and the stomach flat for most of the time?

15:19The poses, yes. Yeah. But like I said, if it's 78% of the time, you still have a 22% of the time when you lost it. And this is what judges see it. And that's what people are going to criticize. And that's why a lot of people would complain. So I want to ask both of you guys this. One of the things that I've noticed is in Nick's transitions. He lets his stomach out. Both of you guys being guys that have been there. What can you do? Because I think you said one year you had an issue. What, what can you do to correct that? Train your abs all year round. Train is all breathing techniques. Suck your abs to your spine. That's just you've got to practice and you got to hold it. Practice like throughout the day, like as you turn. You just can't let your gut come out. And unfortunately, he has a long torso. So there's a lot of places where the gut can extend, you know? The second you turn to the side, you're exposing the midsection. Quarter turn, side triceps, you have to glue your stomach to the spine. You have to, you have to breathe that way.

16:19Unfortunately, they don't have the quarter turns any longer. Yeah, unfortunately. That makes you practice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's one thing I can honestly say, whereas like we had that round where it was like, okay, quarter turn, quarter turn. And like, right, do they do it still? No, they don't. They start and they do one and then they do a pose. It's not the same. We had a symmetry around the feet together, hands by your side. Yeah. I mean, it turned around, you have to be. So you had to practice it. You have to practice it and the glue is coming to the spine. So how did Chopin in 2024 and he beat Samson, we talked about right before the contest, we kind of say maybe he looks a little bit boxy. And then he had a crazy V-taper with the vacuum, super small waist. And then through the side, he was flat as a pancake every time. He managed the breeding throughout the whole pre-judging. Hours. Okay, not minutes. So that's one thing that I put out to Nick.

17:19Nick actually says before, is he's walking on the stage and he's pumping the crowd. He lets it go. This time. And it was a long walk from that back curtain to the front. I posted like 15 photos and all 15 photos. Look at the abs. Look at the abs. Look at the abs. Then he had those moments when he stretches. That's awesome. Yeah. I was still, if he analyzes, Nick, when you analyze your pictures, I know that you used to do the front row biceps with the abs. And now you're stretching it. Probably people tell you better stretch it. I like it better with the crazy, crazy abs. Because then it condenses it. Not 80% abs. He has to be sit down, 100% super sharp. Those arms are crazy. You don't need the crazy V taper anyway. And abs are going to make that pose. I think so. Like this. Yeah. So this. That's good. That's good. Fronsial expose. Okay. We need to show them because it's not on the screen.

18:19Okay. Okay. Okay. But guys, look at Martin's structure here. Okay. Okay. Okay. That's it. Did I say this before that we did this? I said, Martin's got those round, crazy legs. Yeah. But I'm not impressed with anything there. You keep saying and a mention. Lack of weaknesses doesn't mean also possession of the strengths. Everybody has something freaky. Whoa. Look at this. Look at here. Ready. Look at Nick. Look at. He doesn't have it. It's a good thing. Yeah. It's a good thing. You don't have a weakness. But you don't have a wow pop pop moment. This muscle is crazy. What is it? Okay. So Nick. Dance. Overpowering. Super wide. It's a powerful stance. Powerful stance. Powerful stance. And. Waste is not horrible here. Right. So if he managed to keep this throughout the hope we're judging. Hey. He's in business. The legs are better.

19:19Legs are better. For sure. Legs are better. I don't like particularly shape exactly. But you have to give him separation and density and hardness. And improve the size. His legs from a side and back are ridiculously huge and ripped in next level. That's why he plays second. Otherwise, if you didn't have those legs, I don't think he would place that high. Andrew is a beautiful monster. One, he's Mona Lisa, whatever shit. Why would you come up with the female name? He's a beautiful monster, aesthetic freak. He's the only one that has a first. He's tall. He's wide. He's thick. He's complete. Wow, chest. Wow, shoulders. Wow, back. Wow, bicep triceps. Wow, abs. Holy shit. Like how many bows? Okay. Here. And I'm not knocking on Martin, especially as a bad moment because everybody's on him.

20:22He has everything. And I mean, when Mr. Olympia J. Cutler said that he can actually win Mr. Olympia that does you something. He's that good. He plays tools. Yeah, he has tools. But what I'm saying. I hate this vacuum bullshit. That's Instagram, not passport photo. Before symmetry round means feet together, as by a side. So let me assess your physique. Not this shit. Especially for him, if you look throughout the whole prejudging, he was constantly covering the abs before he would hit the pose. Covering, which means he was so uncomfortable with probably bloats that he had. He knew that I better cover it because I don't want him to see it. Of course. Martin. Guarantee. I mean, I pay attention to all of that stuff. I hate as soon as they put this. Like, oh, yeah. I'm now preparing to hit the biases. Bullshit.

21:22You are covering your stomach. If you want to do this, you put it down so you can pop the shoulders in chest and abs, almost most muscular into the front of the biases. If you start from here, you are covering. And we all know it. And then I'm going to pay attention. And then you see what he turns around to the side. You could see that, like Nick, he would lose it. So. Hari. Hari is Hari. The guy is, I ask him how much he weighs. What do you think? 225 to 230. 110 kilos. So that's 242? Oh, wow. Let me guess up. Yeah. Okay. Because I was just curious. And he has everything. I mean, I always love Hari. But can symmetry around front or legs be one by underjack? I think so. You know. And I had it better when he squeezes the abs.

22:25And this is prejudging just several notes. Okay. I have more footage from the final. Okay. Go ahead. Jay. I don't want to be the only one talking. You're a perfect narrator. Yeah. I love Hari. I love Hari's front double by side. Yeah. Yeah. Obviously Andrews got not kind of a knockout shot, you know. You know, one other thing too. You know, obviously Nick has some of the craziest arms in the business. It's not often that he stands next to someone who's equal or better. Yeah. I mean, at worst equal. Never actually. Yeah. Never. I think that's the only guy that could have arms like that. Maybe Kriza, you know, in China. But Andrew has the best arms in business. And with all these three guys look good. I mean, yeah. Stop three look right here. Yes. That's a good pose for all of them. Oh, yeah. I will give it to Hari, front double, and the second. And we always said to Andrew on the front double. Yeah. That's one of his best poses. But you think Hari's in better condition from the front in the shot.

23:27It appears. He's just more with his stomach looking the way it is, like kind of like semi-vacuumed and like V-taper. Okay. Here are the two things. And I want you to. We never discussed that. It's like, actually, you know, there was no point. He improved it right. You know, there is one thing when we know the body. And body is certain body. And then when he hit the pose, now he's judging the pose. But we know the body. So we know that his body is ripped. But that front double biases with stretch abs doesn't show that much condition. You know, so this is how it is. Many times it's, okay, Nick won the pose. I said, like, look, first we know the body. Does Nick body beats Hari's body? It doesn't. Okay. But does this pose can beat the hardest pose? Yeah. In this pose sometimes, even the guy is it. Don't have a good chest. Still shot. They look great inside chest pose. And the guys, they have a good chest. Like Andrew doesn't look so dominant in that pose.

24:27I mean, I've seen the people that they have no back. But they can open up in the front. That pose is because they can. And they don't have a muscle. So I think pound for pound. Perseverance. Hardness with V-tape or X-Frame. He's got peak biceps. Yeah, Hari could possibly win over a beautiful month. Right? Because he still maybe doesn't have a, he has a bigger legs than Hari. But proportionally, you know, you're losing. You're going to do the geometry per square inch. And it's like, okay, maybe, maybe Hari is a little bit more complete. But if Andrew wins this pose, nobody. Are you saying Andrew Jack needs bigger quads from the front? Still. I think so too. Yeah. I hate to say that. Yeah. But you know, with him, he's got a lot of the, separation sits on the outside of his legs. If you guys notice, there's a lot of space between the outside cuts and the inside, which it makes the legs look a little less conditioned.

25:30Yes. And flaring. Because they're so long, right? He looked like this last year pretty much. But legs were down. Legs were down at the Arnold Classic. And that's why he was not contender per person second. This is down. Good legs. Good legs. But again, Samson, he's going to need to put some more quads inches. Yeah. He has a crazy separation and feathers. Okay. So here it is. The best last period of all time that I said. Okay. I know. Sometimes they're kind of exaggerating. You know what I think though? I think he's accentuating his pack so much for the striations. Yeah. So that he loses a little bit of his lats. Exactly. He didn't open up. He didn't open up. He didn't open up. He needs... His chest is going to be shredded in full anyway. Shoulders are going to be shredded in full anyway. Abs look like implants.

26:30It's like fucking crazy. Okay. Legs are good. But the lats could go out. And Chris is here and I saw him pose. And then he opened up completely. That's a jumbo jet. He'd be much wider if he actually opened it up. Yeah. And that's a similar thing from a bakery or a lot of spread. He didn't just open up. So Andrew, a couple of things. I'm going to talk about triceps. From a lot spread, back lot spread. Lot spread spread spread. Spread the lats. That's all you have to do. You know, this is spread every inch like Heidi does. Heidi goes all the way from Ohio to Iran, right? So even on this pose for me, my eyes always go back to hottie. Does he miss him being the best? Sorry. Does hottie win this or does Andrew win this pose? He could be a mix and match. But who do you like? Because he's hitting it. I would still give it to Heidi in the bases.

27:33I love Andrew's physique. I'm all afforded. But if I'm a judge and I put every box that I have to check, okay, he proportionally. I don't think any judges saw him winning this pose. Probably not. You know, when I look at hottie though, compared to the other guys, the presentation is flawless. And if these other guys, you can tell the guys that spend the time doing it and the guys that don't. But you can tell hottie cannot pose. You can get every other one of these other guys up there. You can probably make tweaks. Yeah. You can't tweak out as it's perfect. I'm going to say this here during a comparison. Let's just stop this for a moment. Heidi brings the energy of a 10 people when he's step on the stage. Yeah. And you can feel it. It's not fake. You can hear him yelling too. Yeah, but listen, he brings extreme confidence. Zero arrogance. Yeah. I hate when those people making faces. That was shit. Arrogant motherfuckers.

28:33He's happy to be there too. Yeah. You know, that's a prime example. And energy is just exploding from transitions into the pose. Never breathes through his stomach on the side poses. Doesn't waste the time. So that's mastery. Andrew Jack, the best physique, this pose. I really, when I go, analyze the shoulders, analyze the chest. I know the chest is divisive. And that's an ad. He said, how do you shit? That's the best of all time. But as a complete picture, I could see that he could lose that pose because quads are not so dominant. Let me ask you something. If Andrew leaned forward a little bit, would it dramatically change him because abs look more defined? I don't know. Because he's like pushed back. Let's see. Play it a little bit just to see where this goes. See, he kind of is good. That's beautiful. You know, but he's too shrugged. Oh, yeah. You see, his chest is chin, you know, which is problematic. Nick can prove this pose. He did, yes. Yeah. And Martin, yeah.

29:34It's fair. It's there because he's got the quads. Yeah, but it's not spectacular about it. You know, so he comes in better condition. What happens? Yeah, so quads are going to be there. Okay. But again, for me, bodybuilding is basically... Well, I see, but remember, Martin's a young guy. Yeah. And if he puts on some more size in which he's... He's the boss. I think his biggest thing is he's put on so much size that it just hasn't seasoned him. Yeah. Yeah. Because the picture's leading up to it. You look ridiculous. He is a really hard... I just think once he pulls the water down, it just thinks this kind of... I said it often. There's a lot of people that listen, but they don't hear it. And there's a lot of people that are watching, but they don't see it. What are you watching? And what do you see? So if you have to really see it, see it. Then you see, okay, midsection is the problem. Because he has a four pack, not six pack. And it's something that's beautiful, really. And then he could be bloated. And then he has to cover it. Or he has to stretch it.

30:34So that's the center of the body. That's why, under Jack and Hadi, with a crazy midsection, anything they're doing in between... Yeah, you can just follow. This is... Here, the interruption. Interruption. You can judge the pose. And then let me hear the second pose. Don't judge me in between. So that's how I see it. Look at Andrew's implants, abs. That's a crazy. Nobody has ever seen anything like it. Crazy. I was just kidding. Don't say that. I said it. It's ridiculous. Did you see Nick's transition there? Yeah. That's the problem, I think. Yeah. But watch Hadi's transition compared to Nick's back it up a little bit. Yeah. If you can, I'm sorry. Sorry. I hate to do that to you. Yeah. Go back a little bit. Go back. Actually, Nick was... Okay, so ready. Right here. Watch Hadi versus... See how Hadi's midsection is in Nick's. That's the end.

31:34Watch my head. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And actually here, Nick was not bad. We saw it later on. He did a bit worse. So now, okay. How do you judge these parts? I mean, Nick from head to toe, he has everything. The only criticism you could get him is that transition. But once he hits the shot, Nick wins this to me. And Hadi's right behind him. Because you can still see... Hadi's not missing anything, but he still has those... I like all these midsectiones in this pose. None of them are bad. I think Martin has a great side chest. Yeah. And side triceps. Yeah, he does. And Andrews has improved. Do you notice how his arm isn't as far back as it used to be? I mean, it looks pretty good. It's mind-boggling. Andrew has a crazy chest. But in a side chest, he doesn't look as powerful. He does a squeeze that I don't think. We try it just about everything. You know, really. But this is pretty good.

32:34This is pretty good. I kind of like it. And shoulders, because arms, because... And I think hamstring from the side looks better. Now, there's more tie-in between hamstring and glutes. It's more density. It's more going on. Yeah, this is where Hadi needs to do something to start making a difference. Because they're going to say, okay, because of a lower half, he could lose that pose to Nick. And then, because of a lower half, also, he lost backposes. So hamstring and glutes should be... I hate to say glutes. But yeah. Hadi's prayer is there. This is stellar pose for Hadi. And everybody should do that thing. Or did Nick improve in this pose? Yes. I honestly think Nick has the best back double in the business now.

33:38But I want you guys to watch, go down the line and just look at the lower bodies. Yes. It's the night-to-day. It's like Nick won first, second, third, and then somebody came on the porch. But ideally, I mean, guys, I mean, I don't know what you think, Martin, ideally, to me, has a better lower body, second, in this line. Lower body, yes. He's got the flaring quads. He's got some detail there. Yes. This is where I think Hadi, it hurt him a little bit. Because when you don't have the crazy separation, it's not the same as the front side. Yeah. And he probably knows it. And if Hadi is listening, he should really pay attention to just bomb the weakness. His strong area is a strong area. He's always going to be there. But just spend the time of squeezing the lats, it's stretching, squeezing hamstring, and squeezing lutes, and just get the same level of conditioning condition.

34:39Guys, look at Andrew Jack's back double by side. Yeah. I was actually just really... It's a lot of things to look at. I was just looking at his arms and I don't think we've ever seen anyone stand next to Nick where Andrew's arms are bigger than Nick's. Yeah. Never seen that. Yeah. Yeah. And that's where Samson will have trouble if he doesn't improve. So look at those. Peek of the biceps, then brachialis, then triceps. And the line's all there. So with pisses me off and people are saying, oh yeah, he's sticking it. He's putting it, he's putting... Genetics. It's genetics. Yeah, it's genetics. What did you say? What are you saying? They said that he's pinning the shoulders and the arms and the jack. Like he's putting some... It has a great separation. No separation if he was doing that. Of course. But again, some experts would like... Because he's so unbelievably big, so they want to accuse him of wrongdoing. No. And back improved dramatically. That's that picture when I sent you like three months ago. When you ask, is this a good thing or bad thing?

35:40I told you, yeah. His back look way thicker. Yeah. And from the upper body, like Jay was saying. From the upper body. His back doubles as good as anyone in the business. See where Nick is even competing with that. Yeah, double with that. Yeah. And Hardy has a beautiful... Not in this particular moment, but they've seen different angles. He has a crazy V-taper and beautiful back double biceps, you know, upper body wise. But still needs that refinement. It sounds different from what I saw. This is Friday night. Okay. This is just pre-judging. Saturday. Okay. Howdy was dramatically better. Okay, okay. I will breeze through the Saturday night. And now that's better. I mean, howdy opens up. Like super wide. He's... Yeah. I heard everyone say Nick kills a word on the back. Latch spread. But all these guys are good in the back. Latch spread. Yeah. See see. Looking at the hamstrings. Yeah. Okay. A lot of detail there. I think again, Andrew, he can spread more. Guarantee. I think he did later in the show. And you see, he just locked this.

36:40Yes. But he's still got a crazy back. Back Latch spread. Yes. A lot of thick. Wide. A lot of thickness. Everything. He's always had it. Nick's lower body. And I hate even that position. But I love that position for him. This is like... You know, I hate to spread the legs like this. This is the rest of his lower body. But he could not do better, this pose, that he's already doing it. And it's freaky. I actually don't even know all these muscles on the hamstring area. He has a few more. He's supposed to have like three. All right. Let's see. And he improved the width, too. I mean, his last spread still is not winning, but it's close. His heart is absolutely beautiful in this pose. Okay. Martin usually looks very, very good in this pose. Yeah. But Alice is stomach, even though he's flexing the abs, it's bloated.

37:41So he probably overcarved and God knows what he did. But fullness is their beautiful physique, yes. But too much midsection. Nick actually, Nick looks really good here. Yes. The way he holds the pose and he pulls his midsection and he looks great. Nick did a... It's a strong 95% of the best he could do in this pose. I like everything. Yeah. And Andrew... Again, Andrew has the craziest abs in business. And those abs, from the ab shot, has to translate to the side triceps. He had to. Because with the perfect abs, now you can give him this pose because he has a crazy shoulders, crazy triceps, crazy chest. Ab's make or break this pose, and you were good at it. You made a side triceps with the crazy abs. There's no flaw. Oh, these guys look good in that pose though. Yeah. Andrew's got the crazy tricep hanging off the side.

38:45He's got the best ab and thigh. I would always say like, Hadi and Andrew, definitely not one and two, one and three in the world. And now, you know, you could be the argument. And there has a more V taper and the upper body lats are popping out more. Ab's a just as deep, doesn't have intercostals at the level of Hadi. But legs are separated in the way he positioned them here. Everything is there. You see all the separation and in half size. But if Hadi wins that pose as he was winning for the last ten years, I'm okay with it, either or. And then Nick improved dramatically. So if you just look at Ab's and ties, he has plenty of muscle and separation. He just shape his head, holds him back. So I could not give him that pose. You see, Nick had a two seconds breath pause.

39:53And everybody could see that he didn't have a abs in. So these are kind of things that Nick, you have to do. He was doing the quad stomping. Yeah. He did the quad stomping. He did it Friday night and I thought he was going to break his leg. That's how they. Oh, it's Saturday night. Yeah. He did it Saturday night and we're trying to go back. I did it at that fit expo. My birthday, I remember. Strain my hamstring. All right. I did a quad stomping. Did we get? Yeah. All right. I'm going to get out of that. I'm going to get out of this. And I'm going to go to finals. And then I'm just going to pull the top four. Sam was guys posing in the high ahead. Okay. So now we're going to start right here. Okay. Yeah. This is obviously, this is Saturday night. Just the top three. They moved them all around. And you can see how hot he is dramatically. Right.

40:53You know, one thing I noticed too. A lot of the guys that came out, they had a ton of oil on him. More than normal. Yeah, which I don't know. Sometimes it's a good. Sometimes it's a bad bad thing. But hot is separation and the quads is visibly improved. How he fixes toes up. I used to do the same thing. What's the reason for that? Bring up more cuts in the thighs, especially the upper thighs. Yeah. Regan does it didn't. He handled the air. Does it? Seven people. Yeah. And then I don't see it. Again. We know these guys would make up some ground against neck on Saturday night. You know, it's next condition. Next leg's a way improved from before. So I could see people just going berserk. He improved so much. Last but again. I mean, this is a little better for Andrew though. He's hitting it a little better. You see now, how he has the more powerful legs as a whole picture. This is why if you hold body, then you can give it to him.

41:53Even though look at the abs on the end of the jug. That's like unthinkable. I had a great eyes, but never had that. This is like something extra genetics. Okay. Surprisingly, a very good side view of Andrew. Yeah. His legs look dramatically bigger there too. Yeah. It's amazing how when they move you a spot. Again, look changes. For anybody that said that make wins this pose? Yeah. I could see it. I could see. Hardy also. But if you go with Andrew. Andrew wins this because of lower body. Otherwise. Andrew will win upper body double biceps contest. But the whole body goes to Nick.

42:56And I mean, are we going to penalize Hardy for being off? Not condition is not perfect. He is still very condition. Okay. He loses in condition in the apartment. But as he loses in X-Frame and V-Taper in the apartment. In a width of the lats. No. So it's again, what are you really judging? Side chispes could not be better on Hardy. Except, yeah, if he has a better hamstring. But this is as good as you get. Small ways, deep abs, intercostals. Both shoulders showing enough width. It's more aesthetic. Nick looks great. And he has that potential. If his abs would be crazy. And arm would be a little bit closer to the body. I think he could win that pose too. Okay. I would give it to Hardy this time.

43:58Because legs catch up. Legs are better, fuller, drier. This time around and Friday. It's just very, very interesting. Look at this. He raises. And here. Who did he give most muscles? I used to always immediately go to Nick. I just, my eyes go back to Hardy. Because he's just so nasty. So much to look at. Yes. But Nick is just, he's just a power shot for him. Andrews got the quad. He's got the stride in quad. Look at that. Look at that. So if you look for a most muscle. Look at variations in everything piping on the body. Yeah. I'm Andrew too. Yeah. They put these three through the ringer. Yeah. Which I love it. Okay. You can play this.

44:58Just talk about this. It's armor classic. So top three. You gave them like, how many four comparisons? It's the finals. And I think he went through. The finals each went through. Yeah. But the first day they won once and then. Then they brought the last three. It's over and over again. Okay. Only another comparison for the rest of the people. So let's just touch the subject. Olympia champion. Two times armor classic champion. Very much improved. Very consistent. Great looking body. Brandon Curry. Show's up on the stage. We're going to pull him up. Yeah. Okay. But they're looking. Enjoy this. We already give our assessments here. But how can Brandon Curry be overlooked to the point? He is not put next to Martin. He was in the second callout. But he should have been in the first. In my opinion. In the second callout, he had no business being in the second callout.

45:59He was by far better than anybody else in the second callout. So there was no reason for him to stand there. Okay. And there was every reason for him to stand in the first callout. There we go. Okay. Especially he was in the first groups standing between Martin and Heidi. I know, but he wasn't going to compete with the top two guys. So why would you compare him? The fourth guy. The guy right next to him. That's what I mean. He wasn't comparable to, to, to, to, to, um, Oh, the top three. I mean, I would very much want to compare him. I think this particular show I think he should have been there over Martin. Just because Friday night. I know, but the comparison on Martin. What are you guys talking about? They didn't. I know. Prejudging. They didn't give him one comparison with Martin. At finals. At all. Oh, really? Yeah. He was not compared. Oh, yeah. So the messages. You're not good enough. You don't deserve the chance to fight. I think they should have had a five person callout with Brandon.

46:59Absolutely. I mean, but I mean, even here. Well, we'll go through these poses. Yeah, what it is here. They did one two three and then four five six, which they should do this at the bridge of the pre-judging. And why is the lack of comparison and pre-judging? Again, you know, Bob Ciccola and Sean. And they're going to say, oh, we don't have a time to do it. You don't have a time. It's unclassic. This is why people go there to watch this. What about Rafa? He, you see, beautiful physique. Not in shape. Not in shape. Not in shape. Yeah. I don't think he's much bigger than before. Maybe slightly. But you think his shape, like his condition is off. What about it? Yeah. I think he's been better. Yeah. For sure. I mean, is it lack of having muscle? Combination of both. But Chris is here. He's even better. Yeah. Chris is here to send us some pictures of him when he coached him looking ridiculous, boned, dry, separated. God damn. And then his beautiful shape, you know, jumps at you.

48:02And here is the key up from the front. Good. Side choice. Okay. And then by the time he turns around. Yeah. So I just want to say that that I feel for Brandon Curry. Because I think he earned a respect that should be given. And he was disrespected by not even having a chance to do what he or he did. They at least put him next to Martin and they compare him. But especially Friday, Brandon was even harder and drier. And Martin was softer than this. So there was even more reasons to do it. So do you think that Brandon's hamstring glutes were not good? Well, compared to the top. Top guys. No, but comparing to Brandon of past. Well, we don't want to compare him to Brandon of past, bro. We just said that. Maybe don't be a victim of that.

49:02That's, you know. Okay. It's not that what I was saying, but you didn't agree. I think that's improved Brandon. Like 2022. Yeah. But that's our problem as we keep going back to what he looked like before. You know, this is what is lately. And I mean against this lineup, I mean, I can see. I can see his placing. I know you guys think maybe. Yeah. Maybe he should have got the call. Look at that. I would have wanted to just see him Friday night. Up there next to him. I'm not saying he would play different. But just at least. At least give him that respect. He's won the Olympic. He's won two Arnold's and he looks great. You know, this is like two fighters are going into the ring. And then before they said not enough. He was. He was. I don't think he would have. He's not going to change the top three. But maybe he could have moved into fourth. If he had been compared Friday night, maybe he might have moved into fourth. Yeah. Yeah. And that's the guy that is probably slowly going away. 43. Yeah. And giving his last efforts. And nails it. And it comes looking so good.

50:03And then it's ignored. I'm sorry. Yeah. I'm going to say that's this respect. Complete. Whoever gets offended. So sorry. That's the truth. All right. We'll go through them. And then we're going to go through. We'll pull up the last group. Yeah. What do we think of my food? The Friday's great. He has a great physique, great body parts. And the midsection is not connecting. And I said that many times. If you don't have a midsection, then you're static. Yeah. Okay. Looks great. A human is standard. Hassan, again, when you have invitation for 10 people, there's going to step on that stage. You have to come in crazy condition. And he was not. This is gas posing.

51:04I guess pose in better condition than this. Every time. Anton Williams, yeah. He beautiful shape. He still needs much more size. But good position for me. I'm richer to this. Yeah. Absolutely. Beautiful physique. He just, yeah. I didn't gauge him next to the top pros. Now when you see him next to these guys, he needs more size. So when you look at Muhammad photo, shoulders, chest, legs, arms, great. And then this is the best you can do in the ab shot. I mean, that drives you crazy when someone can't squeeze their arms like you could, huh? You should be qualified right away. You can't show him a six-pack. Leave. No, it's still harsh. Should be in the head.

52:05Get off stage. Adds the most important muscle for everybody. Back in the 60s and the 70s and all that time. It's always midsection, flat stomach. Okay. We talk about this as Sunday yesterday. 2017 December. Yeah. Okay. I get him going because then he sends me. You know. This is what you think. What do I think? Hi. I like anyone I think. I write back. I see. No, there's sometimes I'm trying to watch the show. I looked out. There's 18 minutes. It's for me. It's like trying to watch the show. He sent me the rule book of the IFB and stomachs. Okay. So I sent you two. 2017 December. There's a rule of IFB. If you have the standard stomach, you can be relegated to the last place or be disqualified. Standard stomach. Okay. And back in the 90s, I don't know which year, probably the guy with the best abs of all of us. Yeah. Yeah.

53:05But he had sometimes the, you know, breeding problem and he lets them out. And he was actually penalized in one of the shows because he didn't make it. What do you mean? Didn't make it? You're a grown man. You can make it. Oh, where is it? Look at this. Look at this. There's a lot of work we had to make. I went back there looking for a coffee and I said, go. We put a big sign on the top. Nilo's coffee. Yeah. Yeah. But let's just focus on this one. Congratulations to Andrew Jack. Any. Any. Yeah. Because my mind goes somewhere. Any contest that Andrew Jack wins. I'm 400%. That would be the representative of a bodybuilding. Everybody wants to look like Andrew Jack. So that's how it is. There's a lot of momentum. And he has the most beautiful body. He has everything that we all want. Okay. So there it is. Hardy Chopin is still very much contender. Most fear guy. I'm sure that Andrew and Chris are fearing what kind of, um,

54:06Hardy is going to show that because any version of Hardy is deadly and little. And I think that to Hardy should stick with his strengths and just go peel to the bone. Okay. I was hoping and I need to say this because I had a lot of messages from Iran and Iranian people that didn't want me to support Hardy. And I absolutely support Hardy because I know much more than most of the people do. Hardy never supported the regime ever. He is always for the people. If I ask you two guys before, before this conflict happened, what do you think of Hardy? First thing you think of Hardy, Iran. Representative Iran for the people, for the people, for the people. Celebrations when he came home. Celebrations he goes there. He is a people person. Yeah. Staches but he is a superstar over there and a hero. He is a symbol of Iran and always been, always will be. Now they have seen some stupid screenshot of this Ali Kamehnai, whatever.

55:09And so they accuse him of, oh there is he is supporting. I had a picture with him. That's true or? I don't know. Someone had said he was holding someone's phone. I don't even know but then they are saying, oh he was celebrating during the time in the world. He did some TV show because he is a superstar. Six months before this was even happening. And they, whoever wanted to present him in a bad light, that's what they were connecting. And he is not fighting for the people. He is a people person in an interview with the Alex Mussel. He said clearly the translator, translated. He is always the people person. He would always fight for Iranian people. And he was crying his nights out because he was being attacked, attacked and attacked. I remember when he won the Olympia. He gave a speech talking about he wants women to have more rights there. He is a people guy. And I was hoping and probably he was hoping that after he wins,

56:11he can have a speech with Arnold and clarify that. Well he went in two weeks. Well I don't know if he is going to go because he still doesn't have a visa. Oh I thought he did already. No he doesn't have a visa. But in any way just for people of Iran, that's your son. That's your brother. And as a father and two sons fighting, you should say something. I don't want to turn my head and say nothing. He is a misjudged and accused for things that he is not doing. He is a people person. You should love him accepting he is your hero, not your enemy. You know what we are talking about? What could Nick do going forward to get that number one spot? At the next show he does. It's all going to come down to circumstance. Who he is standing next to? If he is standing next to a Samson or an Andrew who is shapely and also mass monsters, is there something he can do? He comes in great condition. So it's just going to be, I mean he got third is that.

57:13Remember that? No one expected that. We didn't expect him to come into this show and be top two. Did we? No. What I mean by that is, do you guys think there is stuff that is within his control? Trainers and stuff. Trainers, you know, just be more aware. Just like he said, abs is fine. I mean, listen, he can do it. He has to learn to just, he's got a long tour. And he's one of the most dedicated guys there. He'll do it. He improved the legs. First, let's say that he coach himself into it, which right now Nick, I can be his manager for Nick Walker coaching. Watching business. You want to look like Nick because by Nick, and I'm going to mediate on serious note. I mean, that's crazy conditioning. Yes. And I mean, listen, Andrew's a little off from that. He wins. Yeah. Yeah. And he's not guaranteed that eight dollars guys are going to show up their best. One of the next next, you know, when he does hit it, he hits it right.

58:13Can I ask you this? If you're in Nick's camp, do you send him to the Arnold UK? If it was up to you. Hell yes. Do you have a passport? Yeah. Maybe he went to Canada. You signed an HD. I think it. I mean, I would. If you were in his camp. Why not? Detroit even. Detroit's this next weekend, right? Yeah. Go to Detroit. Why not go try to get that 250 there and redeem yourself? Because listen, traveling around the world. This is that big guest posing is lined up. Oh, 250 grand worth. Yes, posing. First, would I appreciate about Samson? When he went to compete in Romania and Praganari, he didn't go there for $10,000. It meant not much to him. I know, but if it's 250, 250 is a lot. Yeah, but not just that. Samson went there for Romanian people, European people, Prague people, Czech, Slovakian and everybody to see top level Olympia on the stage. And you know, that's it. I mean, witnessing you in India competing.

59:13Or going to Europe, you went to Romania yourself. It's huge. Not even the fact that it's a big money check. It's a huge title to stand next to Arnold. But I hope Nick would go do it. So the people of Europe can see him. Exactly. They've never seen him. Exactly. And they would look for that body. And he is the people's champ times 10 right now. He's probably the most popular. He's the people's champ. I hope he does. I'm not saying I have no idea if he is or isn't, but I hope he does. Yeah. You got to text him. Yeah. You know, we have a love and hate relationship. If I say something good. No, but he knows he knows you're not a hater to him. He knows the best form. I love him. I just always pick my mind. Okay. Would I pick him to win? No, because I still always want symmetry proportion and all that stuff. Right. But could I understand if he wins? Yes, I can. Very, very much so. But if, okay, condition is crazy.

1:00:13Size is crazy. Hardness. Everything. Presentation. He has to give the stomach flat. And he is in business every time. Well, let's just one other thing before we go. Let's talk about Leslie. So Wesley came on last year. Right before the Olympia. And he was massive. And he was making improvements. We have to talk about something that you're against and people taking time off to make improvements. Did Wesley Vissar's make the improvement in order to come here and win? Did you see his balance? Yes. Incredible, right? Is that where they need to be? Almost, almost. I mean, he's balanced. Yeah, balanced. But they could always be better. And he said that you made a difference. He said that you really put in perspective what he should do. And he really appreciate your advice. Yeah, he said that you are the one that made him take more time. Do you remember when you saw him, you said up next time I see you, you better be 285. And he came up to us and he was 285. You remember we saw him at FIBO. And then when he came here, he did made the improvements.

1:01:15But let's go. Well, we got the first call out here. Yeah. Are you aware of these other guys? Yeah. Kim Angel to the right. He was a men's physique guy. Imagine men's physique with his kind of legs wasting his time in men's physique. Wesley is Wesley. I think that even if... What's that? Yeah. He said... Wasting time with it. Wasting time with it. I mean, we're going to have a special guest tomorrow. Yeah. I'm going to talk. I'm going to take this. I'm going to say this with you. I'm going to explain this in detail. Say it again. Okay. Say it again. Yeah. Yeah. Kim Angel was wasting time competing in a men's physique instead of going on the classic. With the legs like this. With possibility to pose. It wasn't a classic division though. Back in the day. He was. I said, came up what? 2017. 2017. You just said back in the day. 2017. What's that long? No, bro. You said back in the day.

1:02:15It was there in the 80s. It was fucking ten years ago. It's ten years ago. Exactly. Okay. And then we have Wesley. We have Managate. And we have an Italian guy. He was a young man. He was the happiest guy in stage because he won the. Yeah. The exposure. I suppose a word. So it's very dominating for Wesley. I mean, that. I mean, these legs. These legs look pretty good. His legs look pretty damn good there. I was going back and forth. I'm going to ask you a question. Not this kind of. But before Wesley. Who had a better legs? Arnold though. Wesley. Probably Arnold before. Thank you. Wesley's were up and down. Arnold at least had a little bit of sweep too. Who? Arnold. How are you comparing. 1975. It's time machine. Dennis and Chris come here. Dennis and Chris. Listen. Dennis and Chris are saying that. Wesley had better and bigger legs. Before. Are you fucking joking? No. You guys are comparing.

1:03:15Yeah. Arnold to this. Of course. Dude, it was fifty. It's a bodybuilder. It's a bodybuilder. Bodybuilder. Bodybuilder. Muscle to muscle. Why wouldn't we compare? Well, you got to pass a big legs. Thank you. Who has a bigger legs? Right now. I would have to see what. I don't have the bigger legs. Come on. Everybody knows it. What if we measured them? They weren't. That's impressive. Yeah. He didn't have bigger legs because. Wesley's six three. Arnold's six. Six one. Yeah. I don't have the bigger legs. I don't need the bigger legs that he had. So look at. So before. Wesley did have that. Look at that. Look at that. V taper now. Yeah. He's crazy. Lads. Ridiculous. Shoulders. Why nobody in open bodybuilding has his shoulders and chastrasions and rear delts and all kinds. Here's the way of skin license. Oh my god. That's next level. Look at his pecs compared to the other guys. Yeah. So I don't think there was a contest.

1:04:17And I think that Mike badass would have a very hard time doing this. He would have a very tough time. I just Wesley looked so big and just. You'd have a tough time. I'm not saying he wouldn't one. I have no idea. So we know what would happen with the what happened to be underweight height. He was overweighted. And what I understand they didn't hide him. Underweight. And he he was the weight for someone being five. That's when he wasn't heighted. Yeah. So he was. I thought he was. He was short. That's what I thought they might have laid. I think they did height. I'm actually. Might have laid around. I'm not sure though. Yeah. All right, Miloš. Andrem Amole, beautiful physique. He's still a smallish kind of. You know, he's more back and is more, you know, thing happening. I said every time I'm boarding people to tears. And we said again, the vacuum. I just hate. You know, because I think that many people would. Look way better without the vacuum. But now this is a standard.

1:05:17I don't because every single one of them is. Yeah, they're doing it because it's expected. It's expected. But like for example, Andrem Amole, he's beautiful physique. What does this vacuum does to his? It's like big ribcage. It's a big ribcage and nothing. So why would you encourage people to do that? Yeah. I don't look good. And a few people look good. Yes. Of course. But not everybody. Now he has to do it. He has a great abs. He has to do it because it's expected to do. Wesley. Wesley wins this hand zone. And Memorial of the second and third and fourth. Even though Kim Angel is complete, if I remember correctly, and I remember is that I was disappointed that the top four did not have abs in the abs shot watch when they turn around. It's a classic physique that cannot happen. A guy's lead dominant.

1:06:18Kim Angel is actually quite good because he has more of it. He's got a craze. He has a craze. Andrem has a craze. Andrem has a craze. Andrem has a craze. Andrem has a craze. Yeah. Yeah. Andrem has everything but he still needed a couple more pounds and a little bit more conditioning. You see, Hunter needs more muscle. That's for sure. Wesley's lats are ridiculous. And then Kim Angel is quite complete. Condition. Yeah. Look at that. Yeah. Wesley wins easily. Okay. I'm going to do the abs. Pay attention. Abs shots. Abs shots. Okay. Do you see any great abs?

1:07:19What they sit on them. They just are quick. And now here we go. Show me the ribs pose. For the love of God. This is a great pose for Rob Lesley right there. Yeah, this is it. But when he does the arms, like the Arnold, like the Lee Haney thing. Look at Kim Angel's front legs. Crazy. There we go. Yeah. I think Wesley is one of the best representatives of sport. And one thing I noticed Sunday, they did the seminar. And he was one of the first people since Jay. I know it's a different division. He skipped the Olympia to make improvements. But he came here and won the Arnold. And he said he won it because Arnold is here. And he wanted that, meant the world to him. But what do you think it was worth skipping? Did he get this outcome? Probably not. And he does praise you for making a new Wesley. This is way improved if you see before and after.

1:08:19Last year this year, night and day. This Wesley could be a problem for... Before Mike. Yeah. My hammerbone. Yeah. He was still want a little bit more to his legs because he sat all. So Brandon Hendrickson looked phenomenal. He said it was slim pretty much. I don't think there's a more perfect midsection in any division ever. He looked flawless. The whole body looks perfect. He was pretty stoked. He had a good energy too. Amy Dugato. Yes. And then the champ. We got two more titles in Vegas. I believe. Amy is the sweetest girl and works so hard. Do you remember the last time we were flying? Yeah. And it was in my home. She played second. Yeah. So did they announce that she's winner this time? Yes, she won. Yeah, but did you fly with her? No. She was in a different flight. Yeah. One other thing I want to highlight quick because you got to be part of something pretty

1:09:19cool when the show started. It was the largest gathering of Arnold and Olympia winners ever. It was 42 combined titles. And they walked all them out from Leigh Haney to Ronnie to Phil to branch to Dexter. You name it. They brought a mile out. So talk about that a little. Yes, pretty cool. They lined us all up and announced us and brought us all on stage. It was pretty neat. Yeah. Did Dr. Lee? Yeah. Yes. Okay. Did you guys go there? I had some secret on your phone. No, I do want to because I forgot what is the date of a Leigh Haney's classic. I would like to, you know, promote it for him because he's the gentleman that deserves our promotion. So I didn't get the names or something like that. Yeah. Leigh Haney gains. I thought it was in the member, but I think he's June of July. And why have a cutler classic coming up April 4th here in Vegas? Yeah, no. So some people come and come and come. I'm going to come.

1:10:19Are you going to come or? I'm going to get in Arnold, UK next. I'm going to be there. Are you going? I'm going to march. We're going both slim and I. And then we have Fibo too after the cutler. July 18th. Leigh Haney gains. Leigh Haney gains. Okay. He's such a good guy. He's the greatest guy. Yeah. They had all of us up there. I mean, they brought out Hadi and Nick and they're like Brandon. I think, I think Hadi was in his posing trunks. Yeah. He was. Nick was. And Brandon was. Yeah. Yeah. They were all still competing. So everyone on the stage either promote the lifetime achievement or a nice speech. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm trying to, I know I'm missing some people. Mike Ashley. Yeah. I might have brought him out. Sean Ray. Yeah. The only ones where we were obviously missing Kevin, Laveraldi and Flex Wheeler. Dorian was there. Dorian wasn't there. Dorian wasn't there. But for the most part, that was a pretty large gathering. And of course, Arnold the middle. So. Anything else for the weekend? Can it get better next? Strong man, Mitchell Hooper one. Again.

1:11:19Oh, I do. So here's the question. Can Arnold get even better next year? Or is that bar so high? No, it's going to be better next year. I mean, there was 750 this year. And even if it's 750 next year, it's still the top. I'm still going to say a million. I wouldn't be surprised later. Go to the UK and go pick up another 250 million bucks in a month. I do think that 750 to 51 50 is a little bit harsh. You know that spreading it differently. 750 to 50. Yeah. 750 to 50. And then 150 more than I ever won. But listen, even you say you could go to either of those guys. And this is usually how the contest are at Olympia. We have a Derrick or Hadi or Andrew. All three would be rightful winners. But then somebody's going to get like 750. And the other one is going to get 250. Because judge's decision is that it's like a flip of a coin.

1:12:19Andrew didn't win unanimously. You know, so when you see the points. I can see that though. Yeah. I can see why he didn't win. It's close. Okay. But I'm going to say this. I'm going to put it into a different perspective. Okay. Explain to the people what you mean. But you see it is not unanimous. Because it was close. That's why they have multiple judges. Multiple judges. Some judges look at the conditioning of what it is versus shape. Everyone has a different combination of both. So if he's lucky that there's more judges. They're looking for his type of physique. And then they chose him a winner. And he get the $500,000 more than a guy that just lost. Because there was two more judges that were the other way. Then it would have been a close. Wow. I mean, that's what I'm saying. I look at it like this. There's a reason the gold medal. And gold's worth 5,000 an ounce. And the silver is worth 80 bucks an ounce. There's something wrong with the world. When they put the second place as a first loser. You're putting everybody that lost your loser. No.

1:13:19You know what though? It's just like when the UFC gives away bonuses for the fight of the night. How much is the opinion? How much is the opinion? What happens with it? That's your choice. It's Dana and selective group of people that really... Do you always agree with it? Pretty much yes. Pretty much yes. I didn't think that's just the world we live in when you're the best in the world. Like same thing. I'm going to go back to the Olympics. You're saying Bolt wins. I guarantee you he'll make 20 to 30, 40, 50 million a year in endorsements. Do you get second place? You might make a couple million. It must have been different between the best. You probably don't remember the title when there was commercial with the series you'll live a senior in it. Do you see it? I mean, that was unbelievable. So they're showing him and showing him. Okay. And the end of... Oh. He plays second. Nobody remembers the losers. That was the whole... You know, everybody remembers Arnold because he won. Commercial, you can probably Google it or YouTube it.

1:14:20And finally, it was like... Holy shit. Like what is this? Oh. So his second place was really killed. Like nobody remembers second place. Jesus Christ. There's something wrong with that. How many second places, six second places? If he didn't win and he would be... Oh, he's not good enough. He's loser. Thank God you won four. But second place is not the first loser. It's a God, I'm almost winner. It is. It's why you got a quarter million dollars. And money. No, that's why you lost half million dollars because you didn't get the two judges to vote for you. I understand this point. No, I understand it, but that's just not how the world works. If there was two other judges the other way, it would have been... I don't know the word differently. You think you should knock it down to 500 for first. But you'd have to knock it down. Spread the top three that are old worthy of a big prize money. But they all got a quarter million dollars. Yes, we can look here. It's a lot like a guy who got ten to deal with it. Nobody. You have to understand. You have to understand.

1:15:20Ten years ago, first place didn't get... I understand. Any show? I understand. I just don't agree with it. Seven fifty, two fifty, one fifty. I would never understand that. What's... Especially... Similar. A six hundred, two hundred, one twenty-five or something like that. But that's just... I mean, it's any industry you go into. There's a reason that one guy on the basketball team makes fifty million and the other guy makes three million. And their stats can be the same. Think about Nick Walker's popularity right now. Yeah. I'll populate. You should be able to make an extra half... Yeah. He should be able to capitalize and make an extra half a million. Watch that. He should. And the coaching business. Yeah. Nick. Yeah. You and I will go through the coaching business. I'm going to do the offices and you'll do the pre-contest. The last of days, speaking by Nick. That's a new business. You're a business. Well, next year, please take off and come to the Arnold. I think so. You need to. I think so. I think we need to find out. Yeah, I felt guilty.

1:16:20I did feel guilty. You know. I understood why you didn't have anyone competing in show. But I know you still... You would have sat there and just glued to a pre-judging. Yeah. Can't shake to you guys. Would you be able to get tickets, you think? Yeah. Get me tickets already. Okay. Brian, I'm coming. You have tickets already. Yeah. Jay knows someone. Who do you think is going to compete next year? He's going to be Derek and Assamson and Andrew and Heidi. Hey, listen. I tell you. He's going to be the hardest lineup ever next year. I say this. I think the biggest mistake of this weekend. Samson, I'm competing. This is my opinion, my opinion, because that's a big paycheck. And he was right there. He was right there. But what if he would be just slightly off? Like, he was a little impure. He was a prog. And then he loses even to four-place financial margin. You know. Yeah. So could he... Samson competed more? I hate shirt-a-cutter water. Yeah. He competed more than anybody else.

1:17:20He probably needed it this time. And like you said, like Vasley Visers, Vasley is improving. Now, Samson is improving to the point that he shocked you. Heidi, Samson, I'll skip the Olympian. Just go to the Aron next year and get that 750. And then go home and get another 250 in the community. Well, I'm going to say this right now. I wouldn't be surprised at some other people who skipped the Olympian focus. And I don't. Because they're going to say... Check, man. Yeah, they're going to say... I would. I would. I did it. You did it. Wait, you did it. Yeah. But think about not only do you win that, but the photo op with Arnold. And Arnold always posts the winners on his page, which gets you hundreds of thousands of more followers. I can see people doing that. I wouldn't be shocked if a couple do it. And if they do it, it was endorsed by me. You guys trying to get visas and trying to come over. And you know what I mean? It's good. Yeah. But there's only a lot... So many people that are going to get invited at that spot. Well, I think if you were those top guys, they would.

1:18:21Hey, I have some English pounds. I need you to smuggle into the English. Try to use them. How long have you had them? How long have you had them? People don't know that story. My English pounds were expiring. And I was sending it with a badge or a badge to bring it to Jamie the Giant. It's been in the crypto. No, but how does... You don't even remember. He put it in your bag with your passing. Yeah, you smuggled your first day in your national crowd. No, you're not even aware of it. And FY guys, this is a joke. So we don't need customers pulling us aside. Yes. Next time you need to come to the UK to them. Oh, hey, what do you got going on in two weeks? I have a scheduled bunch of things. I don't. But I would love to. I've never been to a UK. I don't know. It's good. We'll see how it is. I mean... Oh my God, you guys go every year. Well, it wasn't last year. There wasn't. This will be our third time.

1:19:21And we go to FIBO. Say it from there. I want to go to Braves too. No, no. Let's say it from there. Say it from there. No, no. It's the 18th of April. I'm literally going to cross the... I'm going to go four Europe trips for me in ten weeks. Where did you just stay? I could. You won't go easy. What? Where are you going to go? I have to go to Rimini. Into May. And I just was in Italy... Oh, that's forever away. Two weeks ago. Yeah, but you got to think it's March... March, April? No, no. We got time. Two, three weeks off, two weeks, two weeks. Right, right. Next week. We just got back from the... Firstly, you can... No, what I meant was four trips in ten weeks total. It's an early Olympic prediction. You've seen Samson. You can imagine. We know what the hell we're doing tomorrow. Yeah, that is scary, people. Can't start talking about it. There's too many shows in between. You know, just ask... There's someone else going to pop up. That's going to be... We're going to say, wow, that guy is good. The guy from Russia. The guy that's 350. The guy...

1:20:21He's pretty good. Like, he's huge. Larry Wheels says he's ridiculous. Yeah. But... Usually we ask Jay, who's winning. He always picks the winner. I mean, I'm just going to... Derek's still in the driver's seat. Derek's going to be phenomenal, dude. There's Communist Olympia. Still in the driver's seat. Even with this... Andrew and Improves Samson. We'll see. Yeah. I mean, he's... He's going to beat all these guys. He beat... Think about Derek. And he needs to come in better condition to beat. Think about Derek last year. Who, Andrew? Yeah. Derek came in last year for the first time ever. He's going to beat... The reigning Mr. Olympia on the Arnold's seat. I know you don't think so. But Derek's going to create... He's got all the shots. Yeah. What do you think? I don't think he's shapely. He's very shapely. I mean, what pose does he... I mean, you don't like certain poses. I mean, the last spread or whatever. I mean, he's got the... He needs legs are big. I mean, they're going to be... Yeah. I think that legs are exactly the reason why he won the Olympia. Derek... He's great. I mean, he's big right now. And he's just kind of... He's set a date. He's a 55.

1:21:21Yeah, he's just... He's another daughter or... Yeah. He's doing exactly what... Like, he wants to... You know what I mean? He's... He's got a new contract with Dragon Pharma. So he's... Got that. I mean, he's doing everything... He talked to him. Yeah, we talked quite a bit, actually. Because he was on stage for the Arnold... Yeah, yeah. Olympia winners. But we did the seminar. Who was in the seminar of me? Wesley... Ronnie Phil. Connie. Ronnie Phil. And that, you know, it's good to hear Ronnie... Obviously, me and Ronnie, but... To Connie Phil, kind of went back and forth. Yeah. And it was almost a little emotional in there, too. Yeah. Yeah. It was a little emotional in there, too. Yeah. Are you going to come on the show? You want to come on, bro? You can come over here. Come on, man. No, you've got to come over here. Come and say hi to the... We're wrapping it up right now. Come over here by Jaden, say hi to the people. Jaden. Oh, that's... Yeah, that's... That's something else, yeah. Got to give it to the man.

1:22:21Do you got some checks in here? This... Say hi to the people right there. Say hi to the people right there. This past man, man, ever. Yeah, right there. Yeah, those ones, yeah. Sorry about that. Oh, no, you're the man. You're the man. David. Thank you. All right, there you go. We're going to ask all your breakdown. Do you know Milos? Of course. Of course. Yeah. Who doesn't know Milos? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When I'm not here, he said the same Catholic cast. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. See you later. Yeah. No, I'm good right now. Yeah, thank you. All right. So, yeah. So, guys, comment below. Tell us what you thought. So, you people that attended. Listen, it was like, can we topple next year? It's a big question. Oh. This, this, this, this. Okay. I'm wearing 1899 retroversion of Barcelona. Jersey. Okay. Barcelona, the best team in the world. And biggest fan. 1899. I found it. I was going to say, it looks like it's 1899. Yeah. It looks about 18 dollars. I'll find it.

1:23:21He said, for 1899, Jay said, it's $1899. Yeah. And we just, we kind of just, where did you find that? Where did you get the meat? If you found the meat, if you sold out, what you pay for? About 100 or something. Oh. 18 bucks. Straight from Spain. Why are you wearing that? I'm biggest Barcelona fan. You know that I'm passionate about, bodybuilding, about. Is it today or? You have seen it. I got this last week. But I don't miss Barcelona games ever. I know he doesn't. Ever. No, I think we should do. If you can guess the size, you'll win something. Please. Even though Derek gave me the medium size. You said T-shirts, remember? You didn't. I word it. I word it. Double X. All right, guys. We're, uh, we'll be back for another episode.
