Does anyone here know that David Laid (Cbum's friend) is half Georgian? His mother is from Georgia. Fitness and Bodybuilding isn't popular sport here but it's gaining popularity recently. Once David Laid was in our country to see his grandfather but people couldn't recognize him Cheesy

Ramon Dino's performance was disappointing. He probably made a mistake in his preparation and ended up completely sweating. I wonder what really happened? Emotional? Medication? Diet? His fluid retention was out of the ordinary. It ended his dream of finally becoming this year's Mr. Olympia, which Cbum won, and very well, by the way.
Yes, his performance was very bad and I'm so sorry for him, he is considered the best bodybuilder next to Cbum but I think that since Cbum retired, the next Mr Olympia will be Ramon Dino.
On this competition, I there was something very wrong with him. I guess he wasn't sweating from nervousness because it wasn't his first participation in this competition. It was either very hot in the building or Ramon messed up with diuretics.

I read that Ramon Dino had some health issues a few weeks before the Mr. Olympia, perhaps that, combined with his poor finishing strategy for the event, led to some unusual fluid retention, but it looks like he’s going to change coaches and move on with his life. He has good genetics and could even compete in the Open category, which is where the real Mr. Olympia is.

Samson Dauda's shoulders and arms look really impressive. All my life I've hated leg work, I've always given more attention to arm and shoulder work, so his shoulders and arms really caught my attention. He has very big arms in proportion to his waist. He has arms almost as thick as his waist. It's hard to find a flaw on his body, maybe if he was 5 cm taller he would look better...

Hey Buddy @coolcoinz, have you read this news about Chris Bumstead's retirement and his plan to increase the prize money for 2025 for the Classic Physique division? Personally I think one of the greatest good anyone can do is to give back to the community that one has thrived in. And for Chris that is the professional bodybuilder industry. In my estimation, this will increase the morale of those already in the industry and encourage them to work hard to win. What do you think about this?

I congratulate the new Mr. Olympia Samson Dauda, a first timer, it was a well deserved win among former champions.
He has put Nigeria again on the Map, I am happy about it. I never followed up on the competition, but I am happy that a Nigerians success in it pulled my attention this way.

and I really envy those guys physiques.
Their physique looks great, but I do not envy them one bit.

I see Samson Dauda won this year and he looks like a huge monster, but this doesnt look natural with all the drugs and steroids taken.
There are claims that he is a natural builder, and was already blessed with the physique, just needed to work hard which he did. If it is a lie and he actually endangered his health for the purpose of this trophy, then that was the sacrifice and cost he was okay to pay, he will face the consequences on his own. It is more than the money for some of these athletes, it is sometime for them to just be remembered in history.

It has been years since I followed Mister Olympia with other bodybuilding competitions, and I dont know anyone from 2024.
I see Samson Dauda won this year and he looks like a huge monster, but this doesnt look natural with all the drugs and steroids taken.
All the money he won is not worth his health and efforts for this, and I know that from experience of one friend who competed and won in pro bodybuilding competitions.

With his young age, he will have long time to be able to maintain it, although there are also some young athletes who have to suffer and accept fatal consequences to the point of risking their lives due to the use of steroids in high doses.

I am not as optimistic as you are. The problem he has in the kidney, an autoimmune disease, is probably controlled for the time being but the damage to the kidneys does not regenerate, it does not happen as with the liver, and the combination of steroids and a diet very high in protein sure does not help.

Add to this that the life expectancy of professional bodybuilders is greatly reduced because of this, and people like Schwarzenegger who reach old age are the exception rather than the rule, plus in his time they didn't take the huge amounts of steroids that they do now, you see people in local gyms who are bigger than him in his prime.
You are right, it's impossible for kidneys to repair, once there is a damage to them, that's permanent but liver on the other hands, repairs very easily. I can't believe my eyes that Chris Bumstead is a bodybuilder, he has an IgA Nephropathy, which makes it harder for the kidney to filter waste from the blood. He was in such a bad condition that he was hospitalized, so I have no idea how he was reaching limits every year with that condition, without getting hospitalized. He should be on a very high protein diet to maintain muscle but to be honest, he isn't big guy off-season, I have seen images of him where he looks pretty average. I have a sense that he takes care of his health, at least I get that from his speech but his high protein diet doesn't speak so and I can't believe how he is a 6th times Mr Olympia in a row, that's amazing.
By the way, in any way, we can say that this guy is genetically gifted. He looks like a Hollywood star and his physique is out of this world. Truly a genetic FREAK.

I was following up on some of the updates and eventual watched the winner announcement on YouTube, and I really envy those guys physiques. I used to follow the Mr. Olympia competition back in the days but I later lost interest, now I'm gaining interest in the sport again. It's really amazing how people can push their body to extreme limits to gain those monstrous physiques. It's definitely not for everybody and the rest of us can only wonder the strenuous workout routines of these guys that have dedicated themselves to punishing their body to entertain us.

But isn't it true that it has been happening for several years and in fact he can maintain it and does not experience any serious problems related to the impact of the kidney disease he has, moreover if we read and understand all of C.Bum statements in the interview also mentioned that he really maintains his health and does some routine treatments and therapies several times every year...
His body can handle it because he's still young. Cbum not even 30, so no matter how much abuse he's suffered due to steroids, his body can easily regenerate. This ends when you get close to 40, when the human machine starts to give you some problems... the truth is that we will all pay the price for our choices, whether it's anabolic steroids, drinks, food, sedentary lifestyle... so it's always important to know when to stop and respect your own body. I think they (bodybuilders) already have this in mind, in fact, I believe they all have a plan for the future...

Moreover he is professional and has been bodybuilder for long time so he knows how to keep his body fit and can avoid all problems related to his own health, I sure he will be able to continue his career for quite long time in the future.
And about the use of steroids and various other drugs to add strength with the aim of being able to have high training intensity and muscle building recovery in bodybuilder is indeed no longer public secret and this has long-term side effects in the old age of an athlete himself.

But seeing how C.Bum health is developing, it can still be ascertained that his immune system is very good and he can really minimize all the negative impacts of using anabolic steroids and some drugs that support his body to maintain muscle proportions and develop them more perfectly.
We can see that finally C.Bum won first place again and this is his 6th victory while defending the championship in row, it really great, I really amazed by this achievement.
However, it is very unfortunate that C.Bum which even shows that he actually still deserves to be here, making bitter statement that this victory is his last and he has decided to really retire, it is truly something that is completely unexpected from the defending champion decision.

I'm sorry that I'm late, I was outside having some beer with friends but guys, did you forgot that there is Mr Olympia today? It's going live right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02h7WyUkxt0

By the way, the most important thing for me is that Chris Bumstead won for 6th time in a row. This guy is simply amazing, words can't describe his physique, discipline, mentality, work and effort that he puts in Mr Olympia contest. I watched his posing right now and my jaw dropped, this guy looks like he is on another level (he always was but right now it's out of mind).
I'll share Chris Bumstead's posting since I'm his fan Cheesy
Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NSQ13RNp-0

Ramon Dino's performance was disappointing. He probably made a mistake in his preparation and ended up completely sweating. I wonder what really happened? Emotional? Medication? Diet? His fluid retention was out of the ordinary. It ended his dream of finally becoming this year's Mr. Olympia, which Cbum won, and very well, by the way.

For some reason I thought that these liquids should not be easily washed off with the help of untimely sweat, but only with careful washing with special means. Maybe I really was overexcited, which could be accompanied by profuse sweating, or the temperature and humidity in this room were too high, which coincided with his performance. Of course, it is a shame when such unpredictable incidents happen, especially when the athlete has been preparing for this for many years, or maybe it was just bad luck.

Thanks, I was wondering about this too. I used to follow Mr. Olympia very closely and even guess who would come first, but now I realize I've gotten very far away from it.
As far as I can tell, there have been major setbacks in the competition and it seems like the competitors in the past weren't more aesthetic and bigger, or is it just me?

My main question:
Who is going to win Mr Olympia 2024 Men's Classic? Do you think it's gonna be Chris Bumstead again or will Dino finally take a crown on his head? Or will it be Urs? I think that Cbum is going to nail it and win it 6th times in a row.
I guess by now those who are interested in this even already know who won the Mr Olympia 2024. Unfortunately it is Chris Bumstead or Dino. It was absolutely someone no one, not even myself thought about - Samson Dauda. According to the reports from their X account he has claimed the Sandow and a record-breaking $600,000. In another news, the 2024 IFBB Olympia Wheelchair Olympia Champion is Harold Kelley. Big question, will Samson be able to defend this title during the next Mr Olympia?

I thought Cbum would retire after Mr Olympia 2023 due to some health issues, but apparently he will still compete for a few years, maybe he has the ambition to be the greatest winner of all time.

Maybe the only one who can compete against him is the Brazilian Ramon Dino, who in my opinion will be Mr Olympia one day, Cbum just needs to leave the scene for that to happen, Ramon Dino is really impressive and his genetics are sensational.
A bodybuilder will certainly experience health problems and especially for those who consume various supplement drugs and also steroids, there are many cases of this and on average are people with high doses of all types of drugs.
But for C.Bum I don't think he has any serious health problems and has only had minor injuries few times, serious injuries and experienced by bodybuilders in my opinion and to my knowledge only experienced by Ronnie Coleman with spinal injury.
I sure C.Bum will remain an athlete for some time to come, he is bodybuilder who has been talked about lot since he first won the Mr.Olympia Classic Physique in 2019.
As long as C.Bum is still participating in the Mr.Olympia championship, it is clear that he will remain favorite and win again in row in the future until he decides to retire.
Cbum suffers from a chronic kidney disease called immunoglobulin A nephropathy, a disease that causes the body to have problems eliminating waste from the body. I read in an interview that this was the reason he was considering an eventual early retirement. It has nothing to do with steroids or anything like that. It is a disease that he probably already had and is autoimmune, meaning that it gets worse over time because the body attacks itself...
But isn't it true that it has been happening for several years and in fact he can maintain it and does not experience any serious problems related to the impact of the kidney disease he has, moreover if we read and understand all of C.Bum statements in the interview also mentioned that he really maintains his health and does some routine treatments and therapies several times every year.

Where do you guys watch this competition? I frequently watch reels related to this competition when I accidentally watch the rivalry of Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman on one random video on my wall. After that, I frequently have a suggested video of this tournament on my wall.

I'll just watch highlights on Youtube when it's over. I'm not interested enough to look for a place to watch it live. I was interested to see if Big Ramy was coming back but it's been confirmed that he won't be there this year either.

Who’s the best contender against Derek Lunsfor this year? My Olympia seems like no dominant players after Phil heath dynasty. After that only a back to back win Elssbiay that didn’t follow already.

I don’t follow the current tournament but I hope there will be a tough rivalry like the previous My Olympia since it sparks better competition among participants. I think what happened to Ronnie create awareness to every contestant including Big Ramy to prioritize health before they enter since he has a lifetime invite already.

@OP, If this is not a problem to you can you update the first page for the schedule and mechanics of the competition in summary? This competition is interesting and very fun to watch due to the hype when they are already flexing their form.
