Michaela Aycock

I was talking to some people online that worked backstage at the O. They were shocked Michaela got 6th. She should of been 4 or even 5th. Natalia was flabby in the back and Sherry still needs to work on her conditioning

I think in this year's Olympia, they didn't necessarily go with just the most muscle and conditioning. They too aesthetics and symmetry more into account. Look at the men'a open and 212. The 2nd place finishers were harder and in better condition than the winners.

Michaela's conditioning and amount of muscle is unreal, but let's face it, her symmetry isn't a strong suit. Her legs are way short (nothing she can do about that) and throws off her look. Her calves are non-existent. Her back is wide as an aircraft carrier but she lacks detail in the middle back. Her abs are great, but her waist has started getting wider as she's out on more size.

Personally I'd have put her over Natalia, but not Sherry. Sherry's conditioning isn't as good as Michaela's but it's still plenty good and she has a much more symmetrical frame.

For how short she is I'm surprised her calves aren't bigger. Both her calves and forearms lack symmetry to the larger part of the limb. I think she suffers from "too short syndrome". She simply isn't lengthy enough to make good use of the insane conditioning. Perhaps too conditioned, dare I say too low bf, wonder what she'd look like with 2-3% more bf.

Calves are genetic and basically are what they are. Lenda Murray never had great calves to start with and they never got better.

I think Michaela's actually needs to downsize her back, which sounds outrageous is something most BBs would never even think of doing. Right now she just looks like a big blob from the back. It's all size and no aesthetics/symmetry. She has short arms and she's gotten so wide that the edges of her lats are basically where the middle of her back is. It looks ridiculous and is something the judges are going to hold against her, though I'm sure fans will applaud her for it because it looks so freaky. She looks blocky. She should trade size for detail in her back. If you look at her pics from 2021, she looks much better from the back IMO.

And as mentioned, her waist has gotten wider the past 2 years as she's packed on size. She has to bring that in. I thought her waist still looked pretty good 2 years ago. She doesn't have a bubble gut (yet), but it's absolutely gotten wider.  I think the past 2-3 years, she's just gone all in on packing on as much size and getting as conditioned as possible (which a lot of people are going to love) but with ignoring aesthetics.

She's on a lot, obviously. She still trains hard as hell, no doubt about it. But you can't train that heavy and that hard if you're not on (a lot of) gear. The human body just physically can't recover quickly for the next workout unless you're on a good amount of stuff.

I noticed she's wearing a waist trainer in that above pic. I never saw her wearing those in previous pics (that I can remember).

No doubt she realizes that her waist is getting wider with all that size she's packing on and she has to keep on eye on that.
