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'm curious whether there are sportsbooks posting odds for this. I am unfamiliar with bodybuilding as a sport and the only person I actually know about in this field is Cbum but it's only because I've seen people post about him online(usually from "gym fitness coaches or from people who deadlifts), apart from that I know nobody else.

Bitcoin Bottom was at $15.4k

Chris Bumstead is a champion for 5 times a row (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023) and I think it's going to be a different result this time, please do not bet on my words haha. I think if he's declared a winner one more time, others will stop participating in these tournaments. Not saying that he doesn't deserve it, but it will become too obvious at this point. And if he deserves and is the best candidate, he should win it again.

Oh man, you reminded me of when I was in my 20s and I'd hit the gym 3 times a week. There was so much sweat, testosterone and rivalry in that place. We'd always organize bench press competitions. That was an old school gym the kind you nowadays only see in the movies from the 80s and 90s, filled with posters of half-naked women... and Arnold in his prime Cheesy

Back in the day I was huge fan Ronnie and Dorian Yates. I haven't watched or read anything related to bodybuilding in a long time, at least 10 years so I don't know any names associated with the sport at the moment, but the thread idea is nice, keep it going.

Dude you sound like someone that we'd be gym buddies, lifting weights, spotting for each other while the other is lifting and shouting "light weight". Your description brought back sweet memories of the past. Thank man

I get what you are saying about bodybuilding. The competitions do seem pretty over the top these days, especially for women. A lot of those female athletes go overboard trying to win. They mess with their health and dont look natural anymore. I can think of any woman bodybuilders I find attractive. Its just too much. but hey, to each their own right? Im sure some folks dig the whole super ripped female bodybuilder look. Just not my cup of tea.

I have always been of the opinion that females should have a limit to the level they go on bodybuilding, if not for anything for the sake of their future, but who I'm to educate anyone on what they want, as everyone is entitled to their own choice, and due to this, many females have sacrificed a lot just for them to achieve that body shape they are fighting for with muscle like men, and if not carefully looking, you can't separate those female bodybuilders from that of men if they stand and back you.

I think this topic is in order. I used to be very interested in body building many weight lifting many years ago when I watched the biography of Arnold Schwarzenegger. And then I learned about Mr Olympia and the other body building competitions. I was fortunate to have met and followed Ronnie Coleman during his days when he was winning the Mr Olympia back to back. I don't what happened but I think after his numerous surgeries that has left him in a wheelchair, I just lost interest in this. Hoping that this thread will bring up to speed on what is happening in the body building world again as it used to be in time past.

Working out regularly is great, but TBH i don't have any interest in Mr Olympia or any bodybuilding contest, and i'm pretty sure it is the same for quite a lot of people.

I know you may not agree with what i'm about to say, considering the fact that you're a fan, but TBH, i don't really like how those athletes look, lol, i know they look all shredded, but a bit too much for me and definitely not pretty or easy on the eye, that's my honest review. Grin

But it is good you made this thread for people who are interested in the tournament.

Watch Bitcoin Documentary - https://t.ly/v0Nim

There are threads for many sports on Bitcointalk, so why shouldn't we discuss about Bodybuilding? Especially when it's becoming a very popular sport?

* List of 2024 Mr Olympia Qualified Athletes

There are 9 major divisions in Bodybuilding:

Open Bodybuilding
Men's Physique
Classic Physique
Bikini
Women's Physique
Figure
Wellness
WBB
Fitness

When I was a kid, I loved open bodybuilding but as I grew up and matured, my vision and thought around this subject changed. Today, I am a big fan of Chris Bumstead and because of him, I watch Classic Bodybuilding.
I don't know how many of you workout or are into fitness & bodybuilding or even watch it but I hope there are many of you who at least regularly workouts few times a week.

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.
