This is a classic champion. No trash talk no whining dude you just got a hell of a respect from all of us. You should be the one guiding this sport from now. Good luck champ
The abs are coming back to Olympia. Rhoden took out the bubble gut demon which lingered on the Olympia stage from 1994. ShawnRay failed, Flex failed, even Cutler failed somewhat. Rhoden has finally exorcised the demon!
After winning the Olympia so many times you can tell the bubble gut starts to form. Look at Ronnie Coleman and Phil Heath at their best with tight mid sections. Now look at Ronnie and Phil towards the end. Bubble guts. Shawn definitely deserved this win. He was massive, aesthetic and shredded. Phil had the same gut from 2017.
Yes you can still see that his stomach isn't completely flat and his obliques still stick out a little bit but it was better than everyone else on stage. At that size I don't think you can stop your midsection muscles from growing since all compound movements involve the core.
I'm a recovering alcoholic exactly like Shawn Roden and now I'm going back to training with a completely new and positive attitude!!!! I love Shawn Roden!!!!!
I'm 9 years sober tomorrow. I'm 46 and bust ass 5 days a week to keep what I got. It's easier without booze and the weights are there for you every day. Good luck bro!
Shawn bring the Old school bodybuilding, a art nice and line body, congratulations Shawn, you deserve it. This is a prove that bodybuilding judges are open here eyes for time´s of bodybuilding. I´m so happy for Shawn and this change.
Shawn looked spectacular. Absolutely a sight to be seen as someone would say. Congratulations to Shawn for his hard work and dedication as it definitely did not go unnoticed and congrats on Phil Heaths second child. When is it due?
Dave Palumbo, I want to personally thank you for your coverage of bodybuilding. I know that we all appreciate your openness and the fact that you're such a down-to-earth guy. Your interviews are the best. Thanks Dave.
Well deserved, finally. Shawn was on 100% mentally, physically that gave him the confidence he needed to believe it and really achieve it. Congrats to him, he's a better ambassador for sure.
Phil lacks humility. His legacy will be known mostly by how he carried himself vs the 7 Os he won. The cat needs to eat some humble pie for a year. I was sooooo happy for Shawn!! Also very happy for Big Ramy. Still, I say Hadi got robbed. He should have been no less than 3rd place.
A natural ambassador and clearly understands the role of a leader making himself accessible to the fans base and to inspire. Arnold should be very happy as an enormous bodybuilding fan base are worldwide. I've been watching for years from New Zealand and glad that shape, symmetry and conditioning won at the end of the day at the end of so many decades.
After 7 wins, Phil has such a hate crowd. The dude really lacks the humble charm. His personality amongst other things really lets him down. Then you have Shawn. The guy who won but still down to earth and chill. Gotta love that. I couldn't have imagine a better person winning this Olympia. Well done brother!
What shawn said is so true! I remember that you even went here in the philippines to promote bodybuilding. You will surely be a great ambassador of bodybuilding.
What a soft spoken pleasant fellow. Exactly what this sport needs, and not the foul mouthed know it alls that just love to hear themselves talk and are legends in their own minds.
The sport of body building should care enough about the sport to get a decent company to stream the event ! Dave your coverage was great but as far as the streaming service it sucked!!!!!!!
Brother was watching in Australia , thought it was my feed ,, then i hear everyone saying how lousy it was .. biggest show of the year they can at least get it up right for the fans..
Well done Flexatron, looked very conditioned this weekend! Like the classic bodybuilders of 70's 80's. You will be a great humble ambassador for the sport.
You're the total package plus he was a throwback to the much better days of bodybuilding. He didn't look up bloated and disgusting he has a tremendous physique and outstanding symmetry possibly even better than Cedric. This is a well-deserved win in my humble opinion...
Wow I like Shawn a lot. He seems so humble and down to Earth. I liked his comment about traveling more to see up and coming stars in the bodybuilding world and even average joes. It does take away from the sport a bit when those guys are so far away that most of us never even meet them.
This isnt Shawn's victory. This is a victory for BODYBUILDING
Amen brother
Well said bro..so dam happy for my biy
Well said! Well deserved for Shawn! Was rooting for him all the Time!! Greetz from Germany
HAHA! correct
Well said
Damn 43..that makes it even more impressive
POG
Inspiring, shows you can live this lifestyle for a very long time while still gaining results.
PumpChasers age ain’t nothing but a bunch of numbers for lazy people
And bleeding Ulster
PumpChasers good, was tired of Phil winning so damn much..
Great to see Shawn win. A very humble guy.
This is a classic champion. No trash talk no whining dude you just got a hell of a respect from all of us.
You should be the one guiding this sport from now. Good luck champ
The guys nearly dead right now.
He talks trash all the time though
@@muricarothschild6926 woah 🤯
Flexatron Mr.O! He earned this!
Black Raider No. Rhoden was dominated from the back. Too small. He was better conditioned but that’s it. And I’m not a Phil fan.
He easily pulled out Phil on every pose, Phil was posing aggressively tho
The abs are coming back to Olympia. Rhoden took out the bubble gut demon which lingered on the Olympia stage from 1994. ShawnRay failed, Flex failed, even Cutler failed somewhat. Rhoden has finally exorcised the demon!
mickshaw555 jay didnt have a gut jay was good

Rhoden still had bubble gut ya spastic
Yes you can still see that his stomach isn't completely flat and his obliques still stick out a little bit but it was better than everyone else on stage. At that size I don't think you can stop your midsection muscles from growing since all compound movements involve the core.
Aaamen, bro!! #Finally
Bodybuilding is finally back, shape, flow, simmetry, conditioning ! Well done !
@cole simons English is not my first language, so I really appreciate when people correct me, thanks man.
fathi selmi yes I agree .Arnold compalined couple years ago about that bubble gut and change is bout to happpen
hopefully yes. if we are not so naive and it was just lobbying of ronnie and lee haney though (to some point)...
For 1 year
I'm a recovering alcoholic exactly like Shawn Roden and now I'm going back to training with a completely new and positive attitude!!!! I love Shawn Roden!!!!!
Awesome brother!!!
Great for you bro, keep it goin
I'm 9 years sober tomorrow. I'm 46 and bust ass 5 days a week to keep what I got. It's easier without booze and the weights are there for you every day. Good luck bro!
The best man won
This man sounds weak and exhausted. I'm happy that he got this victory. Now go get some rest Shawn, your life is about to get real Busy now. Lol
It's a long way ahead with traveling and photographing. Really impressive
Think he always sounds like this lol
You right. He looks very tired and exausted. But the preparation is very very hard.
Nah, Shawn always talks like this
It's all the PED's talking.
Damn imagine how much Shawn is great that he even send on of the best bodybuilders of all times to retirement
phil has beaten rhoden 7 time the only thing sending phil to retire is phil him self
Clif Keens his gf said he’s done
Clif Keens you are never gonna see him again i think thet ean retirement if i m not mistaking
Post was deleted so looks like he is coming back next year get ready to eat your words
Jason reyna how can i eat my words Shawn won nobody can change that what will happen next year i didint predict what are you talking about
RIP Shawn…
Thank you the great memories!
The greatest Mr O victory ever to me.
AGE IS A NUMBER HE IS 43 NOW WHAT HUH GREATTTTTTTR
Just a number... as long as you're pumping your body full of hormones that aren't your own.
Look at Dexter. He’s still good. I think Shawn can win again but heavily disappointed in Big Ramy.
A well deserved win for Rhoden. I had a " Gut" feeling he was going to be the next Mr. Olympia.
My "gut" told me Shawn was the man... Since 2013. 😉😉
Phil also had a pretty strong gut feeling
Kind regards - Eeyore, UK.
Richard is a nice guy, I am just messing about here in the comment section haha.
Kindest regards - marksolstafir, Scotland
@@marksolstafir Lol, cheers mate. Great news for Shawn!
Yup, amazing outcome and very pleased to have a new Mr O
Shawn bring the Old school bodybuilding, a art nice and line body, congratulations Shawn, you deserve it. This is a prove that bodybuilding judges are open here eyes for time´s of bodybuilding. I´m so happy for Shawn and this change.
Nale id v diti hoyi c me

kekevin levrone could have beaten shawn tonight
Rip shawn i kept waiting for u to b back in the mr.o and take his crown back.
Shawn's side chest pose is from another planet.
Not technically.
Shawn looked spectacular. Absolutely a sight to be seen as someone would say. Congratulations to Shawn for his hard work and dedication as it definitely did not go unnoticed and congrats on Phil Heaths second child. When is it due?
Stop being an asshole dude...he lost and he accepted it gracefully
He had it back stage......

Phil you're done, new champs are coming in..
The moment he won, the crowd reaction gives you goosebumps. If it didn’t, you haven’t been following bodybuilding the past 10+ years.
💯
What a great interview! Look at the crowd around him, eveeeryone listening him silently for pure respect! Great work Mr o 2018!!
CONGRATULATIONS ! SHAWN "Mr Olympia ,Flexatron" RHODEN and your Team. You brought the Total Package.

Gerry from San Diego, CA
Great person and wise humble words. You deserve this champ and happy you kicked some ass tonight
RIP Shawn Rhoden! MR O!
Good interview. Thanks Dave. Way to go Flex-a-tron.
You can tell he was so drained after giving it his all. #Respect
Dave Palumbo, I want to personally thank you for your coverage of bodybuilding. I know that we all appreciate your openness and the fact that you're such a down-to-earth guy. Your interviews are the best. Thanks Dave.
The coolness is oozing out of this man. Congratulations champ you deserved it!
This guy is very down-to-earth and humble, hope he can win more and more Mr O's in years to come. Congrats Mr. Rhoden!
HE WAS GREAT!!!!!
Congrats Shawn a worthy successor 🏆👍
Excellant interview and great attitude and message! Congratulations to the 2018 Mr Olympia
Well deserved, finally. Shawn was on 100% mentally, physically that gave him the confidence he needed to believe it and really achieve it. Congrats to him, he's a better ambassador for sure.
So glad Phil Heath lost. Dude's face just bothers me
True
Reported
Phil lacks humility. His legacy will be known mostly by how he carried himself vs the 7 Os he won.
The cat needs to eat some humble pie for a year.
I was sooooo happy for Shawn!!
Also very happy for Big Ramy. Still, I say Hadi got robbed. He should have been no less than 3rd place.
Rest in Peace Brother 💔
Awesome post Olympia wrap up! Really enjoyed it Dave!
DAVE GREATTTTTTTT INTERVIEW BEAUTIFUL WORDS THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUU ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥

Once again, Great interview Dave! Congrats Rhoden and hats off to Psyco Fitness for sharing incredible videos on his workouts.
RIP Legend!
shawa is amazing and totally deserve it...dave thanx for the coverage of the olympia it was absolutely amazing
Wow. No arrogance, gave the credit to his entire team, no trash talk, and no bubble gut. This is how Mr. Olympia should always be.
Rest In Peace brother
Couldnt have been a better person, so happy and relived! About time Phil got dethroned , Shawn is humble and genuine
A natural ambassador and clearly understands the role of a leader making himself accessible to the fans base and to inspire. Arnold should be very happy as an enormous bodybuilding fan base are worldwide. I've been watching for years from New Zealand and glad that shape, symmetry and conditioning won at the end of the day at the end of so many decades.
Congratulations Shawn! You have brought class back to bodybuilding! Its so true about age, best wishes from the UK....
After 7 wins, Phil has such a hate crowd. The dude really lacks the humble charm. His personality amongst other things really lets him down.
Then you have Shawn. The guy who won but still down to earth and chill. Gotta love that. I couldn't have imagine a better person winning this Olympia.
Well done brother!
What???? He's 43!!!?? WOW!! That's sheer grit that built that body, I'm extremely impressed!! A much deserved win 🔥🔥🔥
RIP legend
They really did him dirty he was a good guy rip
Wow he's 43! There may be hope for me yet :D
Shawn is a Good Guy. Best wishes to you and your family.
Kind regards & well done to Shawn, a well deserved win, Richard U.K
Ha! There You Are!
What shawn said is so true! I remember that you even went here in the philippines to promote bodybuilding. You will surely be a great ambassador of bodybuilding.
Fantastic I'm so happy with the result. Congratulations
That was point on.. I remember back in the 90's you would see more of the top pros at local shows...I hope we see more again..
What a soft spoken pleasant fellow. Exactly what this sport needs, and not the foul mouthed know it alls that just love to hear themselves talk and are legends in their own minds.
He said it best !
Mr.O should make himself more accessible! Like Haney Did ! It elevates the sport!
Congratulations Shawn!
What a humble, great bloke. Congrats Shawn.
The sport of body building should care enough about the sport to get a decent company to stream the event ! Dave your coverage was great but as far as the streaming service it sucked!!!!!!!
Tonight’s UA-cam stream was excellent, no issues for me
Brother was watching in Australia , thought it was my feed ,, then i hear everyone saying how lousy it was .. biggest show of the year they can at least get it up right for the fans..
It was better last night
@benjaminwipfler he tried streaming last night, but he had to cut it
Finally Dave can interview Mr O.! Man, I remember days when MD Flex didn't allow Rx interview Mr O. Finally archieved!
always great questions and dave being his eloquent self
Congratulations man. You looked incredible. Yes, Chris is a master at nutrition and he's the best at what he does. Well deserved.
Well deserved! Good job champ 💪🏼
Effort And A Great Team Around You Have Produced Mr : Olimpia
Sight to be saluted on a daily basis..I am missin his reviews
Congrats to Shawn and to the bodybuilding world. We have an ambassador again.
Shawn Rhoden is a class act.. A man and champion of few words but gets his point across well..
What a guy Shawn is. Such a fantastic result for him and the sport. Well done Shawn!
I think this is RXmuscle's first Mr. Olympia interview directly after the show. RXmuscle on top! Rxmuscle #1!
I love this dude. I'm so happy he's Mr Olympia!
You can really tell shawn rhoden went deep, congrats to the new champ, it was a great olympia!
Great interview congrats Rhodes..
Soo happy! Soo deserved! Finally a justified decision nice one Shawn!
The amount of love Shawn showed to his Team.
Well done Flexatron, looked very conditioned this weekend! Like the classic bodybuilders of 70's 80's. You will be a great humble ambassador for the sport.

Cool.. What a humble champion. Long reign to the new O! And at 43!
Loving Shawn roden amazing interview, amazing person and amazing athele. His gonna bring a whole lot to many people sit back be inspired and enjoy.
Shawn has a clear and mature understanding of how Mr. Olympia should represent the sport and will be an excellent ambassador!
You're the total package plus he was a throwback to the much better days of bodybuilding. He didn't look up bloated and disgusting he has a tremendous physique and outstanding symmetry possibly even better than Cedric. This is a well-deserved win in my humble opinion...
So happy for Shawn it’s breath of fresh air to have him as Mr. Olympia
Wow I like Shawn a lot. He seems so humble and down to Earth. I liked his comment about traveling more to see up and coming stars in the bodybuilding world and even average joes. It does take away from the sport a bit when those guys are so far away that most of us never even meet them.
