Analysis of the Open :
Derek Lunsford
So let us compare,i mmediately we can see that Derek has deffinetly put on some muscle and still kept his vacuum and v taper which is why derek got the best genetics , also you can see that he has the best back and hamstring from everyone but he needed to be little more tight he has some water under his skin you can only see it when he is beside Hadi
Hadi Chopan
Hadi came as usual in the best condition and got his vacuum and a tiny waist also he had added some muscles, but not as much as Derek did, overall they are very close and tight , Hadi with condition and Derek with size and genetics
Samson Dauda
Samson came with the best condition ever to defend his title, but lost some serious size. You can immediately notice he was down sized specially in the back and legs. He was an X-frame like Shawn Rhoden and Tony Freeman, but we all felt that would hurt him in the finals, because it doesn’t matter how good you are , It is still at the end the comparison will decide
Andrew Jacked
That was the best Andrew jacked we have ever seen. With his height, it is not easy to build muscle, but he did add some fibers to that frame. He was gigantic with a crazy small waist, which put him in 4th place ahead of guys like Nick Walker and Behrouz Tabani
Others
Martin Fitzwater, with his awesome shape, came in the best condition, better than most of the competitors, but he still needs some size to penetrate within the top 3, then Nick Walker
Nick came in his biggest ever size, and he was in condition, but his blocky shape worsened with his bigger size and a bigger waist, which added to his bulkiness’s unpleasant shape; however, his back double biceps were one of the best
Brandon Curry was not in his best shape; he was still in condition, not at his biggest size, and as we all know, Brandon’s legs are his weakness, which will make it difficult for him to penetrate the top 3, but he was able to secure 7th place, which is a phenomenon among that heavy competition
212 category
Keone Prodigy Wins his third olympia title
212 competition was no different than open in the level of the athlete, the size of these guys were as close as the open, you won’t believe they are below 212 lbs, but the King of that category was Keone Prodigy, the size he brought was never been on the 212 stage ever, along with a tiny waist he was able to beat Shaun Clarida for the second time after taking his title in 2023

The battle was tough. Shaun has bigger arms, better lats, and overall better abs and waist, but Keone won the side chest double biceps, and all the back poses were Keone, as he added unbelievable mass on his hamstring and back, which secured his trophy
