It's often stated that Ramy would win the O if he only managed to nail his conditioning, but I really do disagree. By the looks of it, the man has done NOTHING to even out his weak areas (hams and calves) since he first became a pro - he's only added more mass but since even his ginormous quads have gotten bigger any mass added to the lagging bodyparts hasn't made a change to his overall flow. As much as some people want to see Phil lose, I would actually argue that Ramy winning the Olympia would be bad for the sport since if a man can win while literally half his body is out of proportion the art of shaping your body is dead and it's all a mindless mass-game at that point (I know Ronnie was friggin huge but at least every single part of him was monstrous and he looked like a solid unit).
It drives me nuts that he just keeps coming in equally unproportional year after year and that nobody seems to mind and just keeps repeating "if he nails the conditioning, he'll win" like some sort of mantra without facing the reality of the situation. Don't get me wrong, the guy has huge potential and I like the guy but he needs to get called out for it because mass primarily without regard for proportion is exactly what the sport should NOT be about.
Anyway, needed to vent to keep my blood pressure in check, do you guys agree or disagree?
