IS MR OLYMPIA 2017 TITLE FIXED ? PHIL HEATH ?

Mr. Olympia 2017 has been, yet again, a game of politics.

There were a few deserved victories yes, like Jeremy Buendia, who came and showed why he deserved to win, with insane muscularity, and conditioning that was absolutely perfect.

But there were others where the victory was too close to call, like Breon Ansley and Chris Bumstead, where the latter edged out the former in my opinion, but it could've gone either way.

But the category, and the crown, that everyone was waiting for was of course Mr. Olympia in the open category. A category where Phil Heath has stood dominant for 7 years now. A category where he seems to be truly unbeatable. Now, for those of you who don't know why, the answer isn't his genetics or condition anymore. It's politics plain and simple.

There was a time a couple of years ago where Phil Heath was truly dominant, bringing everything so perfectly that he couldn't be touched.

That wasn't the case this year however. This year, Phil brought a physique that shouldn't have been let anywhere near the sandow. His gut was out of control, his flows and proportions were wrong, and despite being conditioned, he just didn't have it.

Enter: Big Ramy. The uncrowned Mr. O of 2017. He came in, diced to the socks today. Holding no water in the glutes and hams unlike yesterday, his size insane, his midsection and waist tight and narrow and his conditioning exactly where it should've been. He took a big jump, going from 4th to 2nd, but it should've been first. Yes there were flaws in his physique, his calves weren't gigantic, and his hams were slightly smaller than they should've been. But that wasn't nearly enough to warrant him not winning the sandow.

But alas, it wasn't meant to be.
The way I see it:
1st: Big Ramy
2nd: William Bonac/Phil Heath
3rd: Phil Heath/William Bonac.
