NiklasLetholm I feel like he spent the whole routine in that position because he had the best back. Did you see his front double bicep? Looked like a squashed turtle.
@@youmustmonthebiff Lame as judges. Steve Laureus should have won out of those two. They only care about muscle and conditioning. There is nothing awarding the classic look. Might as well just do either physique or open instead.
I say: don’t bother paying if you’re gonna pay so little. Idk what show it was that paid $100 to 10th place. Pay only top 5, only top 3, or just the winner if you can’t afford to pay them all
This is insulting considering what the athletes put themselves through... The Arnold highly needs to pay these hard working competitors better than the chump change they are getting.
John Doe Being able to do a vacuum doesn’t allow you to be on a stage you don’t belong on! He has no muscle quality! How long has he been lifting, a year!😂
Colton Smith He has no muscle. This is a bodybuilding show. You know, muscle and conditioning which he had neither. He’s a small guy with a small waist that can hit a vacuum who has probably a year or two of lifting behind him. Phil Heath was right. This is s glorified physique competition except for George. That why he is light years ahead of everyone except Bumstead and Breon. Flex politicked the hell out of him bringing Weinberger in his training camp to watch him pose. They know better. Flex sold the shit out of him. Weinberger used to judge Flex. He looked like a child up there. Get politics out of bodybuilding!
hitesh pangti Yes and he should have been 6th! He has the less muscle and conditioning of anyone up there. Everybody knows why he placed so high. Flex and Weinberger ought to know better!
Wow they fucked up big time. The sound was horrible. They had the background music still going while they were talking on the mic. Terrible, cheesy, and cheap. Can you believe how little their price money is? I feel sorry those guys, all that hard work for pennies.
Nah he didn't, his back wasn't anywhere close to George's. He lacked flow and thickness that George had. George's back had great flow, thickness, and detail even his low back. His lats flowed great into his low back. That X shape was so much better
I did some research. Now I know why he’s there! Just because somebody can do a vacuum and Flex is training you, doesn’t make you a bodybuilder. This kid didn’t belong on that finals stage. Politics have destroyed the sport of bodybuilding. This is a muscle show and he has none! They have been politicking him on u tube with Flex and brought. Weinberger in before the show to watch him pose, selling him, saying he’s natural.I believe that. He looks it! Thats the head judge. That’s bullshit. These other guys work hard just to have some kid that hasn’t paid his dues and shouldn’t be there, come in and out place you. Kalid has twice the muscle and a better physique. It happens ever year in shows and it has to stop! Broeon and Bumstead would laugh at this guy in the gym!
i dont think classic should become a smaller mens open. we have the 212 for that. there has to be an easthetic element, otherwise its just open bb witha a weight cap related to your height. that just seems redundant to me, and it seems like a way to get guys that couldnt hold their own in the open to fall down a category. a vacum should be mandatory, small waist pleasing lines with popping muscles. but thats just my opinion
Who is this Keon guy? The second from the left! Does he even lift? Who’s pet is this? Somebody is politicking the shit out of this guy. He doesn’t belong on that stage next to those other guys!😂
C R Bey No Flex is somebody. Cmon man! Look at him! Their are teenagers with more muscle and better physiques! You can tell he hasn’t been lifting more than a year!
Lol there was no vacuum
Arnold in his Kindergarten Cop voice: "Thea iz noo vacuum!!!"
is anybody else hating the fact that steve doesnt open up the lats on his back double bi's
Yeah, exactly. But it looks to me like he was having a cramp in his lower back (if you look at him -> left side on BDB)
Or injury
Was just going to say that
his lats isnt that big lol
On his insta photos his back db looks ok. Dunno why he didn't do that on that contest
Lmaooo Arnold trolling again like he did with Kai.
your favorite classic pose..
George: Let me hit a back double bicep
🤦♂️🤦♂️

Thru lol
They really need to pay these guys more for this. $2000 for 2nd place is crap money 🙄
Yeah no kidding... Even Arnold himself could put up his own money to all of the competitors and not break a sweat.
It’s a joke. These guys work super hard to get into this kinda shape. That kinda money is embarrassing for such a high ranking show
Doesn’t the bikini class get more?
I say: don’t bother paying if you’re gonna pay so little. Idk what show it was that paid $100 to 10th place. Pay only top 5, only top 3, or just the winner if you can’t afford to pay them all
Cant They cut the damn music when Arnold speaks?
George outclasses everybody!!
Lol arny always trolls, it's what makes the world go around
Show us your vacuum :-o
Guess they'll have to introduce the REAL Classic Physique division now...
This is insulting considering what the athletes put themselves through... The Arnold highly needs to pay these hard working competitors better than the chump change they are getting.
George’s front double bicep Looks like a squashed turtle.
Second place - 2000$, first place -5000$ this waste of sport no money so much diet and sacrifice for nothing
Hold on Paul ima let u finish but Keone had the best vacuum of all time 🤷🏽♂️
John Doe Being able to do a vacuum doesn’t allow you to be on a stage you don’t belong on! He has no muscle quality! How long has he been lifting, a year!😂
Randy benton The guy should’ve got third at least. Structure, size and symmetry were all there so I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about

Randy benton Ok now I know you’re just trolling mate. The only thing he needs to improve on in his chests thickness and he’s there
He's not better than courage
Keone and Opara... they are the future. If they continue like this
They found the tallest dude to present keone the award😂
hitesh pangti Yes and he should have been 6th! He has the less muscle and conditioning of anyone up there. Everybody knows why he placed so high. Flex and Weinberger ought to know better!
Arnold asked for a vacuum pose where was the vacuum. Embarrassing, just hit a normal front double bi
Only Black people in Bodybuilding and only white in Strenght at Arnold Classic.
$1,500 for third . . . 2K for second and only 5K for first. That's some B.S. Prize money!
I see Breon Ansley didn't participate in this year's event the money is small. I feel that classic physique is getting shafted.
Nice vacuum pose as Arnold mentioned ;)
the prize money is an insult to these great men...
Someone helps me to know the name of the fifth place to follow him on IG ?? It was the best in my humble opinion 💪
Keone got robbed shouldve been 2nd
Guy on second place should be on first. No fair! What the hell!
George Peterson - The Classic Future!
07:20 - what did he say Steve's last name was? lol.
I keep hearing Jeremy buendia
Wow they fucked up big time. The sound was horrible. They had the background music still going while they were talking on the mic. Terrible, cheesy, and cheap. Can you believe how little their price money is? I feel sorry those guys, all that hard work for pennies.
Uhhhhhh I know there is a no bubble gut movement, but geeez, they overboard with the vacuum pose.
They have literally wore it out in one season
Watch muscle Goddesses Rising Phoenix worlld championship. It's super
Wtf is up with that music?
steve was clear winner but he lost posing routine and that crap music
no that was fine. He lost it when they turn back. Only from back he wan't be even in top 6. His back is weak but hamstrings, calves are even worse.
Yea his back is very weak compared to others. Narrow as hell to have that tall structure
He has to start deadlifting heavy
@@mightylordkuba hamstrings were good , but I think the way he it's the back pose is poor , he needs to learn how to open up , he so crunched lol
Muhammad ikli George was the clear winner. Everyone called it except you 😂
wtf? And it is final
Vacuum is such an overrated pose
There is no meaning if you can't do vacuum
Courage should have won tbh
Steve got robbed, his back looked amazing
Nah he didn't, his back wasn't anywhere close to George's. He lacked flow and thickness that George had. George's back had great flow, thickness, and detail even his low back. His lats flowed great into his low back. That X shape was so much better
His right lat looked significantly bigger than his left, not sure if it's his posing or a muscle imbalance but it threw off his flow in that pose imo.
Arnold find a retirement home lol

Randy benton are u fcking kidding me lol
Matic Marinšek Being 100% honest. This is a professional muscle show, not an NPC physique show!
its because of guys like you that we get the off conditioned bubble gut prego freaks. always demanding more size less easthetics more mass mass mass
i dont think classic should become a smaller mens open. we have the 212 for that. there has to be an easthetic element, otherwise its just open bb witha a weight cap related to your height. that just seems redundant to me, and it seems like a way to get guys that couldnt hold their own in the open to fall down a category. a vacum should be mandatory, small waist pleasing lines with popping muscles. but thats just my opinion
Who is this Keon guy? The second from the left! Does he even lift? Who’s pet is this? Somebody is politicking the shit out of this guy. He doesn’t belong on that stage next to those other guys!😂
Randy benton Keone is an up and coming bodybuilder I honestly his physique Is very aesthetic and should have placed higher
Unlike any other competition this one is invitation only so he's somebody.
C R Bey No Flex is somebody. Cmon man! Look at him! Their are teenagers with more muscle and better physiques! You can tell he hasn’t been lifting more than a year!
U are a joke lol
U do realize he will only get better from here on
George never does a vacuum pose....all the other losers do tho
Keenan Baldree he can’t do a vacuum that’s why
