From analyzing Hadi’s win to detailing where he can improve, the IFBB champion revealed how the present-day bodybuilding champion stands weak in front of legends like Ronnie Coleman and Dorian Yates. While this was an interesting detour considering the number of years that separate these giants, let’s delve further into the matter.

Hadi’s weakness revealed by former Serbian bodybuilder champ Milos Sarcev

In a recent episode of Muscle and Fitness, the panel of four sat down to share their take on the Olympia 2022. During their detailed discussion, The Mind points out how Hadi still has areas to improve. He revealed how he had earlier seen Instagram posts that showed “comparison pictures between Dorian and Hadi.”

Unimpressed, Milos, however, finds such comparisons groundless. He adds, “Let’s face it, it’s not comparable because Chris, when you were on stage with the masters…umm… Ronnie, when he does that thing, you see every fiber.” He further pointed out how well-conditioned the body was of the yesteryear legends. Speaking about Dorian Yates, he re-emphasized how his fibers were visible.

He also spoke about how Flex Wheeler and Sean Ray too had their “latissimus fiber from the spine all the way out.” However, according to him, Hadi lacks it. Milos states, “Hadi didn’t have that.” Though the speaker criticized Hadi, he was also quick to praise him for his body aesthetics. Praising him for their chest, shoulders, and legs, he also pointed out how bigger he looked on stage.
