All dem thangs.

She's got the potential to get a serious Lenda-/Iris-like streak going and she strikes me as such a humble spirit, too. As much as I love the brash cockiness of some competitors, Andrea being the opposite is so refreshing to me.

I think she is overrated. She has a good upper body with great shoulders, biceps and back. Her abs are very good too but I wonder why she never does a front abs pose, it's always a side shot, what is she hiding? Her legs are her weakest point. From the side they look good, but from the front is where they show her weakest point. The upper thigh is where she needs a lot of improvement. Look at what Michaela Aycock has done and keeps improving in that area, not to mention the rest of her physique. Then again why should Andrea improve her physique when she keeps on winning even when not at her best. I think what they finally did in the physique competition placing Natalia over Sarah was a good thing for the sport.

It's what the judges think on what determines the Ms O winner is. It could be argued that Andrea could have placed in the 4th-6th range, based on the weakness in her calves and then move Branka and Michaela up 2 more spots. The winner would have been between Angela and Hallie, both have a better lower leg presentation.

No disrespect intended to Shaw, she's phenomenal, but I really do think it's a travesty that Margie Martin hasn't won Ms. Olympia. I thought that she should've beaten out Shaw at 2 of the Ms. Olympias. I don't understand how Shaw beat her when you look at their overall physiques.

I don't have much respect for the Ms. O judges

Between the two I'll take the look of where Andrea is trying to push her limits over the look achieved by someone else telling her to scale back.

Bruh...

Sometimes, I swear that some dudes just be trolling for the sake of the troll, but I'm here for it, I guess. 🤷🏾‍♂️

lol @ "good thing for the sport"

Yes, it's a "good thing" when the competitor with the best physique is awarded 1st place, whether in women's physique or in women's bodybuilding.

I disagree. Andrea has a better balance of mass and conditioning, especially in 2021. Margie has beautiful big shapes, but conditioning has been a weak spot for her these last shows.

Since when is someone saying something you disagree with tantamount to trolling? Everyone is entitled to their opinions, even if i disagree with them. I happen to agree with ROM553, and i"m definitely not trolling. It's just an opinion that I share.

I was thinking about it, and maybe by "trolling" you mean talking about something other than whether '21 or '22 is Shaw's best year in this thread. Fair enough, if that's the case.

I prefer her '21 physique. And I do like her humility. My beef is with the judges, not Andrea. She's amazing.

Comparing Andrea to other competitors is alright, too. Part of the reason I made this thread is that I was wondering how people felt about Andrea's package this year.

When you think you know bodybuilding but should really just keep your mouth shout.

Just say that you disagree with him. Otherwise, you're just insulting someone and that same insult could be leveled right back at you.

'21. I hoping she was going to be bigger.
