    As it seems that Big Ramy finally has found out the formula to bring in great conditioning - he's going to win his 2nd title. And Hadi always had great conditioning and this year there're no travel issues which can prevent him from being in a great shape. So I think it's going to be Ramy in 1st, Hadi and Brandon fighting for the 2nd place, and Nick in 4. But if Nick improves even more to Olympia and Brandon and Hadi miss the mark - he can round up anywhere from 2nd to 3rd. But he can't take Big Rami when he's at 100%

      Not surr if ramy, can reproduce that "secret formula" again. And even if he can, there is still other factors beside conditioning. And we don't know hoe nick looks next to ramy. Nivks hamstrings and back are capable of beating ramys back. Also nicks arms are massive and thst biceps peak.
      Rany "only" has the height advantage in this case and maybe more wuads still, but i don't know if that is an advantage.
      It can be very very close. I bet nick will be in the top 6 st the olmypia 100% sure. And he can ein the olympia. It is possible. Maybe ramy and nick both won't win.. Also possible. We should not forget brandon in that game also. And hadi.

    I wasn't a Nick fan, and kept expecting the wheels to fall off his hype train. It seems I was wrong. I look forward to seeing him stand next to Ramy...

      IMO ramy will take it again. Dude is bigger than Nick.

      @@allenanalla2549 If Ramy and Nick come in with the same conditioning, Ramy wins every time for me. He is taller, bigger and has a better structure IMHO. If Ramy comes in off and Nick is on, it's going to be very interesting!

    I think it was funny as hell hearing Arnold talking about the veins in nicks lower legs. “The veins in his legs, they disturb me”.
