Urs might have some flaws but no one can deny that he's good for the BB scene, always putting on a show and having positive spirit and pushing himself to improve
Im from germany so naturally Im a bit of an Urs fan, or a least thats how it used to be over the last few years. He always came over as a BB loving, down to earth kinda nice guy. Nowadays I think he is a clown and also, if you watch his videos, his personality totally changed. He went from down to earth to what feels like a seif loving kid. Bodybuilding is a presentation sport, and for sure Urs brings up a show (even though kinda cringe) on stage, but both personality wise and even more important body wise, (and especially eith Muke finally getting the recognition he deserves) there are just a lot of Athletes in front of him and I sont think we will see him at top1 in the next few years. Yes het got top 3 this year, but mainly due to Ramon not bringing what he usually brings.
Once Andrew jacked nails his conditioning and puts on little more back and hamstring size he won’t be stopped . Easily best structure of all time let alone currently
Many people think urs should go open. Horsemd did it and it doesn't look like he got better. His waist got wide and his arms stayed a weakness. Urs has the same weaknesses as Marcello, in his off season his waist gets wide and his arms aren't getting any bigger. I don't think going open is going to change that.
The judges are already over Brandon , it is highly impossible for him to win an Arnold or a Mr. O , I think he should focus on his family and any other way of making a living.
His time is over, already is one of the weakest Mr. Os that profited from a lot of circumstances and now his physique dips every year. He should quit while he is still somewhat on top.
too much money for him involved in competing, and he probably enjoys being a bodybuilder (eat, sleep, train, offseason and prep for a show) to walk away. Why walk away from something you love to do when you’re still very competitive and making a living from doing so as well.
@@DCJayhawk57 going open would be the only chance for him to attack this weekness but I don't think he will go open for at least 1-2 years now that CBum is gone.
You don't win the Mr. Olympia unless you are different. Mike's legs are pro open quality and that is Wesley's weakest body part imo. It's going to be tough.
Samson is bigger than Ronnie and Rammy. He has aesthetics like Dexter. He's as wide as Jay, and his conditioning is good enough... all of that on top of the fact he keeps improving from show to show means he could be champ for a while
@wretchardkimball9049 Samson only won his first pro show in 2021... then was 6th at his first Olympia in 22, 3rd in 23 as well as Arnold champ, then won the Olympia this year... like I said, he improves show to show
Urs's work ethic and energy is undeniable, but let's be honest, he just doesn't have the aesthetics, fullness, the key factors that makes a bodybuilder the BEST (ie. Phil Heath)
Brandon is a great bodybuilder, a former Mr Olympia Champion, but I believe it’s time now for him to sit back as it’s gone be extremely difficult for him to compete with the New Guys.
If Samson can get down to Hadis level of conditioning no one on earth can stop him for at least the next 2 Olympia's ....... I'm going to say 3 Olympia's ....
I think you do a very good job talking about the dangers of bodybuilding. It’s an extremely dangerous sport on the health of the athletes. Most of any ever really discuss it at all. I love Jay Culter but they almost never discuss or brush it under the rug. So I do appreciate how you really cover all aspects of the sport, please continue to bring all the stories forward regardless of how they paint the sport.
I'll bet there are guys in Men's Physique with bigger arms than off-season fully-bulked Urs. Imagine wedging him between Samson and Krizo (if he ever returns). No chance in Hell Urs could compete successfully in Open.
fully bulked? the olympia was like 10 weeks ago and he is only competing in the olympia next year, he is, like every other guys who is only competing in the olympia, in the middle of an health phase, the lowest amount of drugs of the whole year and he probably isnt even training that often, this is as far from a fully bulked Urs as u will ever find him, just a dumb comparison.
@@paulorocha1772 Maybe, but Nick seems to think he's fairly blown up. For Urs' sake I hope you're right because those arms are woefully lacking. I like Urs, I think he's a great showman and character but moving to Open? I hope he's smarter than that.
@@scottcameron5640 Nick is blown up because he is competing in may, Urs is competing in october, once again a terrible comparison. Yes its a lacking bodypart for Urs but Chris also won 6x in classic with mediocre arms. U cant say for sure how well he would do in Open because its much harder for classic guys to make significant improvements when they are so close to their weight cap.
Personally, I don't mind the cross overs. I imagine its tough to maintain the weight caps as physiques continue to develop. Summerfield looking on point at the end there.
I always thought that Brandon Curry could have been more if he would have been with a coach that could bring him in better conditioning , that O2 crew wasn’t it regardless of the O win
Urs should stay in Classic. He has the chance to be the new champ at the olympia next year with only Mike and Cbum placing in front of him this year. Cbum retired and Urs already beat Mike several times before this year's olympia and has still room with the weight limit.
Urs probably believes he is got a good shot at becoming Olympian next year since Chris is gone. I don't think he truly believed he would beat Chris but now he thinks if he goes all in on the prep he has a good chance
Maybe Urs has big bones or something because his stated off-season body weight just doesn't seem to look even close to the size of a decent open bodybuilder of similar weight/height, no?
I'm convinced that Wesley's front double is more impressive than that of Mike's. Only he didn't get the chance to stand next to the top guys at the Olympia. This time it will be different. Go for it Wesley.
I agree with Nick; we (fans and purveyors) of freak-factor bodybuilding are complicit in the tragedy that too often befalls those who push PED use. Until we start promoting natural bodybuilding, this cycle will not end.
From now on, it would be a waste of time for guys like Ramon and Urs to stay on classic, cuz we already know what they are capable of on this category. It's time for something knew and not restricting.
Urs is not transitioning to open, at least in the near future. He just skipped Arnolds to recover, also mentally. The many shows of last years, the hype etc were very hard for him, especially mentally. He's kind of recovering and therefore only going to the Olympia 25. He will stay in classic for the next few years, maybe transitioning in the future
My prediction is that Urs will do at least do one more Mr. O in the classic division. He came in third this year, so now that CBum is gone, he has a realistic chance to win the thing and I dont think he will want to miss out on that chance.
It’s going to be hard for anyone to beat Samson because he keeps improving. I don’t think he’s even reached his peak and I think it’s going to take more time before we even see it, while everyone else in the top 5 has already peaked imo.
Chris didn’t really start the crossover of Classic to Open…he did it cause it was a bucket list item for him. If Urs switches it’s cause he can’t win in Classic…I don’t think Urs is going to switch. He was 3rd at the Olympia and with Chris gone, he’s vying for the top spot…
BRUH at 4:18 you can't say chris led the charge of switching to open....how many top pros do we have now that came from classic....he did one show because the fans have been asking for it for years he didn't lead some movement to open
Guys as a german Urs fan I can tell you that he doesnt plan on switching to open right now. He's been asked repeatedly but always has replied that he's staying at classic to win atleast one title. He doesnt compete at the arnolds because for the last 3 years hes been competeing back to back without any sort of recovery phase. Now, because the champion left, his plan is to solely focus on the olympia. (PS I dont know why you keep trying to push the idea that Urs needs to go to open. I mean its not like he completely fell off cant make weight at all and is like placing 10th. Hes goddamn 3rd if you only count active classic bodybuilders hes the second best in the world right now. I don't think he would place that highly in the open.)
Urs uploaded a video to his channel after the Olympia explaining he had had some mental struggles this year, thus he would sit out the arnold. Nothing to do with open.

Urs mentioned that he wants to put full focus on the 2025 Classic physique olympia. That is why he is skipping the arnolds - not switching to open.
He also said he might once compete in open like Chris did, but he wants to be the best in classic first and win some mr.O's in classic
Thank you for speaking the truth!

Yeah he's great for the sport! Such positive energy from him!
Yup
That is worth commending. Just dont tell me he has a beautiful classic physique
Urs is in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber pushing himself to Super Saiyan 2 😂
2:58 I don't think the absence of Nick is even a factor. Nick is no threat to Samson.
facts when I heard that I was like "-____- aint no way"
The only person in Samsons way is Samson really ..we also love the Miracle Bear 🐻

Urs at 275 looks 220 with 17 inch arms
Yup I don't see the hype
Urs has a horrible physique
His arms would really hold him back in Open, they're way behind. He's also pretty narrow in the shoulders.
He’s not 275…that’s just BS.
@@DCJayhawk57 going open would be the only chance for him to attack this weekness but I don't think he will go open for at least 1-2 years now that CBum is gone.
Urs is clearly over 9000!!!!!
I was saying Urs looks like Gohan way before Mr.O with his new hair style, now there he is😂
You don't win the Mr. Olympia unless you are different.
Mike's legs are pro open quality and that is Wesley's weakest body part imo. It's going to be tough.
Agreed. If Wesley poses next to Mike his legs are gonna get exposed hard even more than when compared to Ramon or Urs
So you’re saying that Mike is better and different from the other pros because he’s the same as the other current pros.
@@ImInLoveWithBulla what I said is, Mike is known for having great legs, Wesley is the opposite, bodybuilding is also about match ups
@@ImInLoveWithBulla My first comment was about Samson.
Iam now a big fan of Samson and Nick 💪💪🔥🔥
Happy holidays to Nick and Power and to all of the bodybuilders out there 💪💪
Merry Christmas!
Andrew jacked is soo underrated
I personally think he's way overrated. But we all see different things.
Hes definitely overrated. 5th in the world is great, but people act like he's a contender for 1st
@@konev13thebeasthe has the potential lmao. Only needs a lil more size in a couple places and he’ll be unbeatable
Overrated
The 24 Texas AJ is with 24 Arnold Hadi and 24 Olympia Samson the top 3 BB actually
It is great to hear you talking about Brandon Curry. I still love his physique. He's a CHAMP!
urs got the full HGH head going, might as well switch to open XD
Don't get it 🤷 HGH head 🤦
@@darrenpittard8629 human growth hormon head XD
Have a Merry Christmas, Nick!!
Samson is bigger than Ronnie and Rammy. He has aesthetics like Dexter. He's as wide as Jay, and his conditioning is good enough... all of that on top of the fact he keeps improving from show to show means he could be champ for a while
I lold reading that.
Samson can barely beat guys six inches shorter than him.

Samson‘s ain’t bigger than prime Ronnie Coleman
@@fbdgbg5973pound for pound he isn’t but he is literally bigger by weight
"Today on Nick's Strength and Samson Fanclub" - Nick probably
I love Wesley, but when you compare his legs with Mike Somerfeld… it’s night and day. Somerfeld is beating Wes all day every day.
I'm a big fan of Samson & he's a terrific Mr O. But a sneaky part of me wants to see Eric approach him with the scale." Can we just varify that"
Let's go Brandon (Curry).
mike has the best shoulder to waist ratio ive seen
Big lenny?
Cbum better
@@jeffk4710not at all what?
Brian Buchanan
Samson could win the next 3 Olympias, no one else is close.
It’s Samson vs himself
Urs's work ethic and energy is undeniable, but let's be honest, he just doesn't have the aesthetics, fullness, the key factors that makes a bodybuilder the BEST (ie. Phil Heath)
I really really like the transition between divisions that these guys are doing.
Brandon is a great bodybuilder, a former Mr Olympia Champion, but I believe it’s time now for him to sit back as it’s gone be extremely difficult for him to compete with the New Guys.
Nick being at the Arnold's wouldn't change who wins. The Arnold's values aesthetics too much to give Nick Walker the win
If Samson can get down to Hadis level of conditioning no one on earth can stop him for at least the next 2 Olympia's ....... I'm going to say 3 Olympia's ....
Way to go Mr. Curry! Keep it at home! Family is everything!!! 3rd or 4th place. You'll see the difference!
Urs is so goofy. His arms will never hang in the open nick. They can't hang in classic😂.

Finally, someone reports on Brandon’s new coach!
I always thought that Brandon Curry could have been more if he would have been with a coach that could bring him in better conditioning , that O2 crew wasn’t it regardless of the O win
I was expecting Nick at the Arnold
Urs should go to open BB. Every off season he gets extremely big
Urs's " Caterpillar" / " Worm" in the posing routine is almost as cringy as Quitzilla's dance moves.
If Samson had Nick Walker arms, he'd be unstoppable
And Ronnie's/Dorian's back/lats/conditioning.
Feel like too many of us slept on Mike. The dude looks amazing and I can see him dominating next year.
Urs should stay in Classic. He has the chance to be the new champ at the olympia next year with only Mike and Cbum placing in front of him this year. Cbum retired and Urs already beat Mike several times before this year's olympia and has still room with the weight limit.
Urs and Ramon were there for a long time, they are pretty consistent. The only thing on their way was Cbum but the guy was unbeatable
Glad to see justin harris get some recognition. He's been coaching for years and is very knowledgeable.
If Mike is "on", he's unstoppable at the A!
URS must stay in classic and be the next classic Olympia period but just my opinion.
Urs probably believes he is got a good shot at becoming Olympian next year since Chris is gone. I don't think he truly believed he would beat Chris but now he thinks if he goes all in on the prep he has a good chance
Samson #1
Maybe Urs has big bones or something because his stated off-season body weight just doesn't seem to look even close to the size of a decent open bodybuilder of similar weight/height, no?
I'm convinced that Wesley's front double is more impressive than that of Mike's. Only he didn't get the chance to stand next to the top guys at the Olympia. This time it will be different. Go for it Wesley.
Best IFBB legs of all time Mr Sampson Dauda!Urs a playboy total stud!
I am waiting for your update about Urs thank you shearing that amazing update about our new camp Urs
Urs stays Classic! He is up to the Olympia 2025 to become the "Classic Physic Mr. Olympia"!
Y not talk about the Sheru clasic competition winner. its an IFFB competition
Because there’s too much poo on the stage.

What's up with the guy at 6:03 with his face right in Urs 's rear end 😂...

When it comes to the Arnold classic everyone's just coming to see who will take second place behind Samson
Gorilla will win
From now on, it would be a waste of time for guys like Ramon and Urs to stay on classic, cuz we already know what they are capable of on this category. It's time for something knew and not restricting.
Elliot's lower back is so thick his Christmas tree turned into the Eiffel tower
If Sampson had lat proportions like Lundsford I’d be convinced. AJ should have got a better look from the judges and had more comparisons.
Urs arms are his problem.
Urs is new classic champ for sure 😁
Nick, I think you should take a look at Arthur Marchukevich
Samson is going to be the next Olympia dynasty. I think he’s going to win the next 2-3
Urs is not transitioning to open, at least in the near future. He just skipped Arnolds to recover, also mentally. The many shows of last years, the hype etc were very hard for him, especially mentally. He's kind of recovering and therefore only going to the Olympia 25.

WOW! Urs is looking AMAZING!
Surely, a new coach will help Brandon win.
My prediction is that Urs will do at least do one more Mr. O in the classic division. He came in third this year, so now that CBum is gone, he has a realistic chance to win the thing and I dont think he will want to miss out on that chance.
He will do Classic until he wins the Olympia at least once. He already said that multiple times.
7:39 OMG A JERSEY DRONE!!!! 🤯🤯🤯
Nobody can beat Sampson, not yet anyway
Elliot Dermond REALLY wants us to see his elbows.
It’s over for Brandon being away from his family while prepping.All was accomplished and now he can have a peace of mind while prepping.
Elliot is gonna end up in a Flex Wheeler situation.....😮
It’s going to be hard for anyone to beat Samson because he keeps improving. I don’t think he’s even reached his peak and I think it’s going to take more time before we even see it, while everyone else in the top 5 has already peaked imo.
Samson could be at the beginning of a dynasty
Sampson is just hitting his genetic prime. He has an opportunity just to coast for a year or two plus right now... It is what it is.
Dude Samson's legs 😮
Brandon Curry top 4
