Mr. Olympia 2025

Before Samson, we simply had not EVER even seen such a physique, it is mind boggling, if you really think about it. Gunther Schlierkamp was the last tall Top5 Olympian
meh

since ronnie coleman era and before almost all mr olympia winners is like 175cm-180cm besides arnold being tall asf

samson dauda is also 180cm he is not that tall at all. thats smaller or around most european average heights its not that tall at all in real life

I think Lee was 180cm, probably rather less than more. Dorian and Ronnie are 176-178cm. Jay and Phil are around 172-174cm. Shawn was maybe 180cm. I am inclined to believe that Samson is at least 182cm, more likely 184cm. I would assume that Andrew is around 188cm.

Arnold shouldn't have won at least half the time. 1974 (AFAIR) was the one year, where he slammed the door shut.

samson is 180, ronnie is 180, dorian is 178 not much difference in 2cm.

jay is 175, shawn is 178, phil is 175

hadi and derek are just women height. making him look tall they're both standing at 165cm-170cm somewhere between that

it gets really hard for andrew when he is 189. he is really tall.
 
european guys are usually taller. you can look at arnold at 188.

super hard to put mass on such a tall frame but once he does the insertions are beautiful. same thing with andrew he just havent put enough mass on his frame yet and probably never will. same with arnold.

anything under 185cm is workable with.

You are off by around 2cm for each. How tall do you think Rühl was? How tall you suppose Quincy Taylor was? He was one of the tallest ever on a Pro stage, and this is him with 180cm Daniel Hill.

i am not guessing.

im simply looking it up.

they have no reason to cheat their height lower than it is.

samson dauda peak weight-ins 125-130kg

ronnie peak weight-ins 130-135kg

weigh ins is accurate with ronnie being the biggest ever and they're both at same height. so i will not eat up your bullshit

i agree sine phil health era ended its been short guys winning but thats more like the last 5 years and not last 2-3 decades.

arnold is the tallest mr olympia there has ever been and andrew is taller than him

If you say so.
I met Rühl, I met Daniel Hill, Dennis James, Mike Sommerfeld, Ronny Rockel, Steve Benthin, Peter Trenz, Kim Kold, I saw Roman quite a few times in the gym, I am friends with another rather tall Pro, saw Ronnie on stage, and I am probably missing somebody, and I met quite a few amateurs, that you will find standing next to Pro on a photo. So, I am fairly confident, that I can put all their heights into a good context.

well my confidence is also coming from meeting samson.

im a little taller than 180cm and he is shorter than me side by side
 
Maybe were both right then. But I still stand by what I said about the others, besides maybe Andrew, but I don't see him being 10cm taller than Samson.
i do think its pretty hard to see, because the other 2 guys are lower height than average women.

but when they stand side by side its pretty clear but easy to miss. look at height difference at their arms, lats and knees. andrew and samson has soooo much mass on their legs compared to derek. i do believe 180cm best bodybuilding height around 175-185cm will put you in that greek god aesthic potential

andrew 1,89. samson 180, derek 167

I knew the guy who does Muscle Discord was gonna make a big fuss out of that because Nick refused to go on a podcast with him, so he hates Nick... but Nick's gut was under control for 99% of the show
Yea I mean you need to lean back like that to hit the rear double. Anyone who’s ever been on stage looking at other athletes posing from that angle would see it even if they don’t have a belly issue.
 
Anyone else notice the main pages aren’t posting a lot of straight angles. Slightly off center or low weird angles/videos of everyone.

NPC news online/IFBB usually posts everyone and all the raw pics from dead center as the judges see. I’m not seeing much of the open division at all. Weird stuff man
