would have loved to see him in the 2019 mr.o
Don’t we all 😔
And 2020 too... RIP Flexatron.
Miss him 😢
2013 is my favorite as well. Definitely more complete. He won 18 yes but against a broken down and bubble guts Phil
Phil won 2018 if you didn't look at his mid section, every other body part was by far superior but they used him as a statement that you could not come in with a bad midsection and still win
I agree 2013 looks better. I'm glad the bubble gut era is over.
@@skylarmcmanus4347so u look on body parts in isolation and not the whole physique...it's a show and everything counts...including how you control your midsection BETWEEN poses...it's better u say phil won the back shots but that's about it
Put into perspective how massive Phil's midsection was when thinking Rhoden's waist was bigger in 2018 than 2013 and it still looked so tiny and aesthetic.
Rhoden had some of the most complete lower bodies of all time. Maybe not the biggest but one of the best detail, separation (especially from the side) and shape. His quad shape was second to none, only Keone and maybe bryan jones have similar shapes.
Nom-nom-nom, love the Shaun Rhoden tributes, nom-nom-nom, never change bruv! 👌
RIP Shawn "Flexatron" Rhoden🙏🏽🕊 With that being said, the stars were aligned in 2018. Shawn's physique, specifically his Arms, was starting to melt. He simply brought the best condition of his career that weekend, which happened to be good enough to beat a very good Phil Heath (minus his runaway abdomen). Shawn had finished 2nd to Phil a couple of years prior, and all Shawn needed to do that year (2018) was bring his very best combination of conditioning and dryness along with his God given genetics (exxellent abs and tiny waist, which he 100% did. That was enough to dehtrone the worst version of Phil Heath's career, while earning Shawn the coveted title of Mr Olympia that had eluded him for so many years! Hats off to Shawn and Chris Aceto (his coach) for both strategizing and executing a master plan! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
His 2013 was one of my favorites.
I’ve been saying for years that Shawn was bigger and fuller in earlier years. I think 11-15 are all pretty comparable. 18 was by far his best. He was conditioned but flat and legs don’t have that pop that detail. Aceto’s over dieting approach. Very happy to see this comparison
Chest and shoulders definitely thicker in 2018. Much more complete whilst still being aesthetic.
As a shawn fan, my fav version is 2017 arnold europe version. Even if we're just using Olympia videos like in this video, i like 2018's conditioning, but I like a "fresher" looking shawn
Literally came here to comment this! I think people forget about that one because he came in off at the 2017 Olympia. Maybe they get thrown off by the hair too.
Couple other years are really good too. 2012, 2014-2017 all amazing showings for him. Granted he, along with many others at the time started to have a little bubble guts during transitions of those last few years
Hahaha what you said about 18 letting 13 take the first two shots was hilarious
I prefer 2018 in all the shots after the front double and front lat. He just carries more size, completeness, and of course conditioning. Even that ab and thigh his waist is wider, but the lats are thicker and abs are deeper (lighting may contribute too). His 2013 shape was nuts though.
I never thought he should have won in 18. Phil might have had a more bloated midsection at the time..BUT still smoked everyone..
His physique had flaws but he was the one who stood out on stage. Sometimes it's a sum of all parts thing.
But the massive flaw really stood out for Phil. Can't really find a flaw on Rhoden that year
Phil got straight robbed no debate
w take
Everybody part of Phils was the best on stage except midsection. I like Shawn but I believe Phil should have still won even with his flaw
You should do a video about sam sulek and his bodybuilding potential in your opinion
You bought back "peeled...so peeled" 😂😂
R.i.p. i unfortunately wasnt much of a fan until i saw how he handled the controversy or people criticizing his shape in the off season. Its a shame we didnt get to see him defend the title
I never understood the 18 win. Yes, Phil was not at his best but still far ahead and in certain shots/transitions his belly was not under control at all.
same
Because in person phil couldnt even hold poses and his gut was too distended
Because in 2017, when Ramy, who was BY FAR the fan favourite, lost to a pregnant Phil, the public upset was so huge that "forced" the judges to NOT give it to Phil again, if showed up with a gut.
Shawn Rhoden is the most overrated, overhyped Olympian. He was good don’t get me wrong, but his midsection is awful. It looks just terrible.
It was a political move, they had to punish the gut
Looks like he lost quite a bit of size in his arms as time went on. But that can happen.
2013 is a great one. His best O variation. But 15 Australia Arnold.....yeah
That midsection of Shawn at the 2018 o just threw me off. It wasn’t a bubble gut and he was shredded but it just looked slightly bloated?
In realtà entrambe le versioni avevano punti forti basati su piccoli particolari,nel corso del tempo Shawn ha perso densità nella bassa schiena che non era un suo punto forte così come i tricipiti scarni,i bicipiti hanno meno picco nel 2018 e l’addome aveva una piccola distensione nella parte bassa Simona quella attività di Dauda,per il resto buono ma non rientra nei miei preferiti,troppo incompleto. Gambe ottime per shape e condizione.
2018 Shawn vs 2024 Martin fitz.
Do a comparison of Derek 2023 vs Martin 2024
bodybuilder's calves get worse into their careers, Rhoden's only got better. But we do know a lot of it had to do with pinched nerves when training back and Rhoden was notorious for not doing those kinds of heavy lifts for his back that would cause those injuries.
Shawn is my favorite open class Mr O winner. His shape was awesome and his structure was such a sight to see. The O did him dirty in 19.
Just noticed....his left leg is way too small. But great champion.
Rhoden Mr o 2012 was his best shape ever. Great
2012
I always thought Shawn looked his best from 2013-2015 then started to drop after that! If Sean looked like the 2013 version at the 2018 mr o then I’d have happily accepted his win to Phil but Shawn only got that win because Phil was on the downward of his career, bit like when jay finally beat Ronnie, he said no way would I ever beat Ronnie at his best! And imo no one to this day would beat Ronnie at his best! Phil might give him a run
If Phil didnt have the midsection problems, he probably would have won the title another 2-3 times, the rest of his body was still the best in the world just the herniated midsection was his big flaw
His legs were best. Quads goat. Tri and bi were weak. Overall flow was good. I think Phil should have won , but I understand the change of judgement.
Got lucky vs Phil
How did you not mention how his triceps atrophied into tiny pancakes?
Andrew jack hits front l spread the same and i dont like it . Either show off abs or hit a vaccume
That gut 👀
2012 mr O was his very best imo.
His arms are literally twice as big in 2013😮 and his lats tapered way lower from the front😮 midsection better, quads the same😮 way better version!
Still believe 2014 AC might be his best
His arms look a little sus in ‘13
7:54 Have ever been to a psychiatrist Give it a try
2013 his arms and abdominals were better - 2018 his entire lower body was superior.
That woman who made false allegations is living happily ever after as they all do
He pretty much added zero muscle in 5 years
You get to a certain point where you really can’t add more muscle, even with gear. Or you can add more muscle but you blow out the waist and get blurry from GH.
He added a ton from the back
2018 win easy, way more detailed.
Shawn rodhen best version is 2015 mr Olympia, he said by himself personally in a interview
