The army filed out the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, armpit of the 2017 Olympia Weekend, as Phil Heath afraid addition Sandow destined for his accommodation bays case. He's now angry with Arnold Schwarzenegger with seven Mr. Olympia wins. One added and he will bang into the Sandow stratosphere, abutting eight-time winners Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman.

Yet, afore Heath larboard the stage, the belief had already begun: Can he do it afresh abutting year?

When you accept a anatomy like Heath's, you accept the affluence of assuming up at the Olympia" a little off" and still demography home the Sandow. But the affection of the added competitors at this year's Mr. Olympia challenge larboard bodies apprehensive whether the administration of King Phillip ability be advancing an end. Heath has alone his anemic areas and adapted his anatomy into one batty 3-D package. Alike so, the hounds are bitter at the champ's heels.

The advertising has been architecture over the aftermost several years. "Any day now, Kai Greene is activity to accord Phil a run for his money," bodies say. Shawn Rhoden is pumped to go toe-to-toe with the champ. And one of the bigger freaks on the stage, Mamdouh Elssbiay, bigger accepted as Big Ramy, seems assertive to accompany his best amalgamation yet in 2018. It may be ambitious cerebration from those accessible for new royalty, but alike a year out, the stars are adjustment for what could be an absorbing 2018 Mr. Olympia.

"Introducing alone the third anytime eight-time Mr. Olympia…"

Those words could not complete any sweeter to Heath abutting year, but let's face it, his allowance for absurdity keeps dwindling. With so abounding amazing competitors out there demography the abounding year to focus relentlessly on acceptable the Olympia, there absolutely is a wide-open feel as alertness gets beneath way. Let's see who's got a attempt at toppling Heath from his throne.

The man who, in my opinion, has the best attempt of animadversion off the champ is Big Ramy. I admired the amalgamation he brought to the date in 2016 aback he was alive with Chris Aceto. This year he took a breach from Aceto and formed alone with Oxygen Gym buyer Bader Boodai in Kuwait. This about-face acutely paid dividends. Ramy was big, he was full, and he was aloof about area he bare to be conditioning-wise. He won the 2017 Arnold Classic Europe afterwards his second-place accomplishment at the Olympia. He's hungry. I can see him advancing aback bigger than anytime in 2018.

The bigger catechism is whether he can use the offseason to compose out added of that 3-D attending Heath has, while still advancement his size. He's absolutely big abundant to angle abutting to Heath, but he needs added detail. With the advance we've apparent Big Ramy accomplish year over year, 2018 ability aloof be the year he takes home the accouterments in any appearance he enters.

Next in line, I've got William Bonac. Each year I allocution about how afflicted I am with Bonac's physique, which reminds me of Greene's look. Bonac is a angry competitor. He's got that attending in his eye of a approaching Mr. Olympia champion, and he's got the size, structure, and conditioning to aback it up.

Placing third at the 2017 Mr. Olympia was acutely a footfall in the appropriate administration for Bonac, who placed fifth in 2016. But alike admitting he's aggressive the ladder, he aloof ability abatement abbreviate of demography the appellation abroad from Phil abutting year, abnormally with Big Ramy continuing in his way.

That doesn't beggarly I'm counting Bonac out, but I anticipate it's a amplitude to anticipate he can accomplish abundant advance in one offseason to cull it off. But he's absolutely activity to be in the active bottomward the road. In the meantime, I'd like to see him attempt in added shows during the year. There's award-winning money to be had out there, and I anticipate he can airing onstage and aggregate aloof about any paycheck he wants.

The 2008 Mr. Olympia winner, "The Blade" has artlessly collapsed too far aback to win a additional Sandow. As the winningest adversary to anytime footfall on a bodybuilding stage, Jackson's toughest foe at this point is Father Time. If you've compared his photos from year to year, you'll apprehension that his belly has developed as he tries to put on added accumulation to attempt with massive guys like Heath and Big Ramy.

While it's not absolutely out of control, his slight abdomen appendage puts him alfresco of what I've consistently advised to be the ideal bodybuilder physique. Add to that the attempt he's accepting with his legs, and he's got his assignment cut out for him. As legends Kevin Levrone and Flex Wheeler can attest, crumbling legs can authority aback anyone attractive to accomplish a comeback.

Jackson is no bounce chicken, and added than one being has wondered if he's a vampire, accustomed his affront of accustomed aging. He's activity to accord it all he's got this year, but I don't see him aggressive to the top of the Olympia stage. Like Bonac, however, he can still aggregate some nice paydays if he gets out there and competes more.

Coming off a second-place accomplishment at the 2016 Mr. Olympia, Shawn seemed accessible to accompany a amazing amalgamation to the date and wow us all. Afterwards all, he was activity accessible on aggressive aftermost year and had affluence of opportunities to advance his physique.

For whatever reason, it didn't happen. In my opinion, Rhoden was advantageous to accomplish the top bristles at this year's Mr. Olympia. His conditioning was off, he didn't assume to accept the admeasurement and analogue he did the above-mentioned year. Rhoden needs to go aback to the cartoon board.

Who, if anyone, do you anticipate will acreage the knockout bite and bead Phil in the 2018 Mr. Olympia? Let us apperceive in the comments!
