I have met a few guys through the travels that have told me they met Regan Grimes at various gyms or expos. Literally every single one of them has said he is a genuinely cool and nice guy that treats fans really well. Very respectful and seems to understand that being a bit of a public athlete he has a responsibility to the fans. I have known and met some real jerkoffs so it is always nice to hear about one of these guys who is a total pro in every way. Hope he gets everything on track this year and pulls out a top 10 finish in NY
You have come back to open from French bodybuilder Florian Poirson who switched from classic to open 2 years ago. He should attempt to qualify to Mister O in Portugal pro this year.
Joan has a great facility for traveling to the USA, and he loves it, many times in Las Vegas, New York, Florida, etc. He has no problem with it. We will see him this year, for sure.
The split in Carlos's chest and his lower abs really throw off the midsection look imo. I have collitis too and my lower abs don't look like that. Looks like he doesn't work them.
Mike Sommerfeldt definitely has a great structure to compete in open division. Have to fill the frame up. And his structure allows to do it as far as aesthetic goes. Actually, could argue that even more interesting than seeing Mike Sommerfeldt as an open guy, is paying attention to Matt Greggo’s path on the bodybuilding road as a potential open competitor.
To me with Carlos it’s just he doesn’t have the detail in the abs or in the quads despite the size. He has a crazy 3d and bubbly physique if he bring that conditioning he gonna hurt a lot of athletes. Not sure what the back looks like though. Good Vito looks to be ahead of Carlos at this point but with 7 weeks you can make a lot changes. Good Vito could Plato and Carlos could bring it out. I’ve done this many times on stage. You’d see me 30 days out and count on beating me and I beat you. At this level it can be like that
It's not difficult to travel to the States at all. I'm doing the Detroit show as an amateur travelling from the UK just for the experience and it's super easy.
Mike once said in a german video that he can't take enough PEDs because of his organs not being able to handle a higher dose than rn. He would love to switch he said but his body is not capable of what is capable for Open.
His mid sections is fine ulcerated colitis will make the entire body flat and you won’t be able to digest proteins properly, he’s full and will be fine from my experiences with trr he r same problem, great coverage of this issue 👍
Regan breaks top 10 at the O if he can hold thickness and roundness. Regans next 5-6 years can be his most competitive if he’s smart about his seasons and how he lays in his detail work to complete the physique.
Mike, Wes, Ramon and of course Cbum all look great even off season. They dont look huge, they dont look weird they just look like what l at least wish to aspire too. If we can get health under control in bodybuilding it can start to really take off. Classic looks healthy and thats what matters. Cool that Mikes German too... Lets gooooo
Good Vito looks much more detailed over Carlos..but lighting can do wonders..Regan ,dude looks massive I'm a fan and that photo looks like it's from the movie 300.
Martin Fitzwater Vs Goodvito: Martin edges in size, his V-Taper is better, though he is a bit less conditioned then Goodvito. But Martin's silhouette is much better then Goodvitoe's. Regan seems promising. The spanish Mass Monster is impressive.
Yeah Good Vito easily beats Carlos based on condition alone. Carlos got something going on with his lower ab area. Good Vito much more complete and conditioned than Carlos
If Reagan was going to bring it, he would have already. Wild that he’s 300, he somehow just doesn’t look like an Olympia level pro. Still an elite physique though, but his limbs just look so slim.
Brandon has actually been around as an IFBB Pro longer than 2010. Brandon won the USA Championships in 2008, so this is going to he his 18th year competing w/in the IFBB Pro League!
Carlos gets lost in the mix from behind because he doesn’t have a back, needs to train his abs also, probably doesn’t do much work on them, Vito looks like he has a real future so long as he keeps the waist tight and stays healthy, Martin can be future top 3 at the O, just needs to grow steadily and keep his lines
@Nick you would think that from a conceptual veiw point, going up1 level in anything isn't that hard but moving from classic to open is so polarizing; I am not happy with the amount of weight Stephane put on from his last classic show until now, it is suicide, literally suicide. So, Mike moving to open is another suicide mission, he is big, sure but in the open, nope. 212 is not the next level from classic because I am sure there are many guys at 212 in classic. So, open is really the next step from classic for so many people.
Mike was into open back in the day, but he got health issues. Same issues why he couldn't bring conditioning the shows before 2024. I don't know what to expect but you should know that stuff as the voice of bodybuilding news.
Carlos has crazy genetics! But I hope his legs get way way more detail and mid section doesn’t look good at all, below average. Won’t be competitive like this
I'm not even on roids nor do I plan to compete ever and I have better quad separation than Carlos. Maybe he posed with a quad pump? That usually make the cuts less noticeable.
Do you honestly agree social media use the terms best, biggest, phenomenal, huge, impressive etc, etc,etc are used far too often,to easy and always evaluating athletes pictures while their alone or by people who never attend the shows in person?
i honestly think that the most shows in europe are better than the us shows beside the olympia, arnold and pittsburgh. I think portugal, em pro and prague are all better than new york. Maybe not within the top 3 but deeper line ups and waaaaay better production
I like Carlos but he has very little detail especially in the legs... I think Goodvito will expose him and Goodvito should be top 5 Olympia this year. I had him winning against Martin and I think he can beat Derek and Hadi with some minor improvements.

ROELLY WINCLAR VUELVE A ENTRENAR Y PREPARARSE
Bro, good vito got in shape incredibly fast. The last time we saw him he had bulked into oblivion.
exactly my thoughts as well
Carlos has an amazing physique but when you show it next to vitos it really stands out how smooth his quads look. Similar to neckzilla
Carlos does not have seperation in his legs😮
Zero Quad separation in Carlos. Good Vito is much more polished and complete
Quadzilla was paul demayo- you mean neckzilla
He always looks smooth
ramy won the Olympia having smooth quads so it's not too big of a obstacle to overcome.
Vito got those Jay Cutler leg's
Pretty close fr
Finally someone else says it too.
He really does i see it to
Based on all the research I've done, my prediction for this year is Neckzilla will show up to eight shows and win then all, including the Olympia
Gold 😂 And Nick will never pull out of a show again
Show up to 8 shows and compete in zero 😂
@@adamcook1426😅
Are you smoking Crack lol
@@adamcook1426😂😂😂😂😂
Hope Vito wins his Olympia qualification early. Less stress and give him more time to train for the O.
Good Vito making Carlos look Off Season....😮
This year Good Vito will be sensational
@@ayushtomar6789 that's true. He has a really good structure and shape and muscle development
I hope no one falls for Regan Grime's "updates" this year too.
Looks like his head has been reduced in size in that photo
I would say his hype train has stopped and the only way to get it going again is to deliver on stage big time.
Comparing mike to the first classic mr O Danny Hester really puts into perspective how the standards have changed in a relatively short period of time
I could definitely see him placing like 3rd in the Arnold because of this. I don't think the shape is what classic should promote.
From what I see these up and comers seem to get big really quick but developing the crazy separation seems to take the time.
GoodVito looks like an open version of Cbum. Quads have the exact same shape, just bigger for Vito
but less injuries
I have met a few guys through the travels that have told me they met Regan Grimes at various gyms or expos. Literally every single one of them has said he is a genuinely cool and nice guy that treats fans really well. Very respectful and seems to understand that being a bit of a public athlete he has a responsibility to the fans. I have known and met some real jerkoffs so it is always nice to hear about one of these guys who is a total pro in every way. Hope he gets everything on track this year and pulls out a top 10 finish in NY
"Regan is a slender 300+lbs man"
Good Vito will hurt some feelings this year.
Urs and CBum look huge off season too. I dont think mike is too big. Well see when he cuts all the way down
I think a lot of people are actually underrated a "Vito" he has that "Wow" looking physique,and I guess this year is gonna be so interesting.
His muscles are not hard enough specially the sholders and chest.. he needs more maturity there ..and it will take time
7:30 its so funny and kinda sad seeing the video title "Denis Cyplenkov is BACK" 😢 4 years later and we're still waiting 😭
Carlos needs to get way tighter to be competitive.
He's got 7 weeks to tighten up
I don’t think he’s really that soft he just doesn’t seem to have the best separation
You have come back to open from French bodybuilder Florian Poirson who switched from classic to open 2 years ago. He should attempt to qualify to Mister O in Portugal pro this year.
Seeing Mike with the bandanna made me think about the late great Macho Man Randy Savage 😂
Goodvito is absolutely dialed in 😮
This year will be good 4 Regan.. *Top 8 at the Mr O ✌🤙💪💪
Goodvito=future 4 time Mr Olympia
Even with the lack of separation, Carlos still looks crazy. You can’t teach “SHAPE”
Vito has the freak factor with good overall shape, he has everything to be a Mr. Olympia.
It's not a sport, NICK!!!..ITS A DOPE AND SYNTHOL SHOW
Carlos lower midsection just looks like he just has some loose skin at the bottom imo.
Double,triple gut sucked in
nah, it s just the tan bro😅
Vito's stage presence is awesome
Joan has a great facility for traveling to the USA, and he loves it, many times in Las Vegas, New York, Florida, etc. He has no problem with it. We will see him this year, for sure.
GoodVito is going to have a nice season, he has the tools just like Martin to do well quickly.
Good Vito's quads remind me of Jay Cutler.
The split in Carlos's chest and his lower abs really throw off the midsection look imo. I have collitis too and my lower abs don't look like that. Looks like he doesn't work them.
goodvito looks great but there is something about Martin's physique that I really appreciate and that flows better to me.
@@ACDelRe yes Martin looks fresh except stupid tattoos
I also think Mike is just blocky, but in a good way. he looks amazing and complete, but not totally fitting for classic imo...
Good Vito is impressive. It's got that WOW look
Mike Sommerfeldt definitely has a great structure to compete in open division. Have to fill the frame up. And his structure allows to do it as far as aesthetic goes.
Actually, could argue that even more interesting than seeing Mike Sommerfeldt as an open guy, is paying attention to Matt Greggo’s path on the bodybuilding road as a potential open competitor.
Don’t forget Justin Wyatt. He’s making his debut at Detroit and I’m telling you he’s gonna make a splash
Agreed. freaky big and is one of the most peeled dudes I’ve ever seen
Artur Marchukevick is the next guy 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
We need to see Josema more often here. 6th place in Classic at 23 y.o. is unreal
Man, most exciting Arnold in a long time for me
Great stories/coverage.
I think Nick is milking Carlos prepping for the Arnolds more than Cbum for his Prague Open debut
To me with Carlos it’s just he doesn’t have the detail in the abs or in the quads despite the size. He has a crazy 3d and bubbly physique if he bring that conditioning he gonna hurt a lot of athletes. Not sure what the back looks like though.

His mid sections is fine ulcerated colitis will make the entire body flat and you won’t be able to digest proteins properly, he’s full and will be fine from my experiences with trr he r same problem, great coverage of this issue 👍
Carlos Is so freaking awesome
Regan breaks top 10 at the O if he can hold thickness and roundness.
Regans next 5-6 years can be his most competitive if he’s smart about his seasons and how he lays in his detail work to complete the physique.
I wants to see this new guy on stage he look amazing
Solely going by the comparison you posted, Id probably put Goodvito ahead of Fitzwater just for the leg mass.
Vito's quads are looking Cutler-esque in that shot. Definitely one of his stronger body parts.
Regan Grimes might look "undersized" compared to a lot of bodybuilders but his back is insane. Almost gives Derek a run for his money
Hey Nick, I’d love to see your opinion on Artur Marchukevich. Especially his most muscular pose, I think its unbeatable
Mike, Wes, Ramon and of course Cbum all look great even off season. They dont look huge, they dont look weird they just look like what l at least wish to aspire too. If we can get health under control in bodybuilding it can start to really take off. Classic looks healthy and thats what matters. Cool that Mikes German too... Lets gooooo
Chris got up to 270+ off season. Good luck.
Nail that placed 2nd or 3rd at that last comp that Ramon Dino competed In. Nail is from the uk
Good Vito looks much more detailed over Carlos..but lighting can do wonders..Regan ,dude looks massive I'm a fan and that photo looks like it's from the movie 300.
Martin Fitzwater Vs Goodvito: Martin edges in size, his V-Taper is better, though he is a bit less conditioned then Goodvito. But Martin's silhouette is much better then Goodvitoe's.
Regan seems promising.
The spanish Mass Monster is impressive.
Good job 👏
Happy new muscle 💪 everyone
Yeah Good Vito easily beats Carlos based on condition alone. Carlos got something going on with his lower ab area. Good Vito much more complete and conditioned than Carlos
Detroit pro will still have the blackout background?
Can anyone know Carlos arm size?
Carlos Abs, Back and rate of conditioning are in question
Carlos vs Nick Walker? Tell me what you think!!
Two guys that don’t get on stage. Not what I think facts
@Cwakes33 👍🏻
Who is Regan working with now? I heard some time ago he stopped working with Milos.
He works with Stefan K
2.0 speed to restore Nick to non-sedative speech😊
Regan dialled in peeled at 275lbs stage weight would put him into top 6 territory.
Can we get a video re-visiting the highlights of 2024?
I saw Regan waiting in line at the Resorts World Hilton over the Olympia 2024 weekend. He was wearing a sleeveless T-shirt. No comeback.
I know it’s still 7 weeks out, but Carlos needs to tighten up a lot more, you can see by the side by side next to Vito…
Vito looks amazing
I'd put him top 3
That first shot of Mike Sommerfeld reminded me of Rory Leidelmeyer.
Keon is the man he will win again and then go to the olympia
Carlos looks at the weights and he starts growing lol. If he can get the cuts and detail that's a tough physique to beat
Martin will be the bodybuilding STAR
If Reagan was going to bring it, he would have already. Wild that he’s 300, he somehow just doesn’t look like an Olympia level pro. Still an elite physique though, but his limbs just look so slim.
Am i missed Roelly update?
This Joan Pradells reminds me of Jeff Long who active for the past of 10-15 years ago.
Goodvito gonna break a lot of hearts
Mike actually originally got his pro card in Open, so surely he can compete in Open category?
Brandon has actually been around as an IFBB Pro longer than 2010. Brandon won the USA Championships in 2008, so this is going to he his 18th year competing w/in the IFBB Pro League!
Man Grimes looks huge..!
Theres no way that Mike is not over his weight limit for classic.. Dude looks like hes ready for open right now..
Carlos gets lost in the mix from behind because he doesn’t have a back, needs to train his abs also, probably doesn’t do much work on them, Vito looks like he has a real future so long as he keeps the waist tight and stays healthy, Martin can be future top 3 at the O, just needs to grow steadily and keep his lines

Mike was into open back in the day, but he got health issues. Same issues why he couldn't bring conditioning the shows before 2024.
I don't know what to expect but you should know that stuff as the voice of bodybuilding news.
Classic weight limits are directly connected with height
I don’t think there is any competition for good Vito vrs carlos ? Unless he gets separated and peeled .he has huge proportions and 3d muscle belly’s .
Carlos’ proportions are insane but there are still legitimate concerns. Abs, thighs, back, and overall conditioning still need to be proven.
Carlos has Ulcerative Colitis,I have it too.
We also are waiting for. Eckzilla to show up this 2025..
Carlos has crazy genetics! But I hope his legs get way way more detail and mid section doesn’t look good at all, below average. Won’t be competitive like this
not the youngest but very excited for justin shier comeback
I'm not even on roids nor do I plan to compete ever and I have better quad separation than Carlos.
Maybe he posed with a quad pump? That usually make the cuts less noticeable.
Do you honestly agree social media use the terms best, biggest, phenomenal, huge, impressive etc, etc,etc are used far too often,to easy and always evaluating athletes pictures while their alone or by people who never attend the shows in person?
Nihat Kaya, is going to be the big up in comer for 2025. Age only 21, crazy
Carlos is placing now where with that terrible midsection.
i honestly think that the most shows in europe are better than the us shows beside the olympia, arnold and pittsburgh. I think portugal, em pro and prague are all better than new york. Maybe not within the top 3 but deeper line ups and waaaaay better production
Goddamn these gents looking gigantic
I like Carlos but he has very little detail especially in the legs... I think Goodvito will expose him and Goodvito should be top 5 Olympia this year. I had him winning against Martin and I think he can beat Derek and Hadi with some minor improvements.
Regan has time, I don't think it's absurd to say he could have a similar evolution to deuda, he has the frame.
