Mr. Olympia Weekend Thread

[gautho]

I was hoping Dexter would make it in top 3.

Jay's back was AMAZING!!
Ronnie's bis were unreal
but jay was the man overall

I hope Ronnie comes to his senses and hangs it up. He is a great champion and I would hate to see his legacy destroyed because he tried to hang around too long. All sports have had champs that just tried to keep playing for too long. I hope Ronnie doesn't do that. I know he said he is coming back, but I think time may change that. He has not been getting each year. I think he peaked around 2000 and then just got bigger, which didn't improve his physique.

I disagree, I think Ronnie should take a hard look in the mirror, realize that heavier isnt always better. He should take a year off of competition and overhaul his physique. Come in at 270ish and diced. With the muscle maturity he has, all he has to do is slim down some, even if that means losing some of his muscle. It all comes down to genetics, and theres no one with better genetics than him. Theres no doubt in my mind that he can come into the olympia in a couple years transformed and absolutely blow everyone else outta the water.

Yery true - Ronnie is not out of the game yet. Plus, if he intended to retire I bet he would have announced it already. He'll be back nexy year

My point being that Ronnie's body is not responding like it used to. He was softer this year and holding water when in the past he was dry as fuck with virtually every area on his body shredded, particularly his back. This year Jay's back was harder. I have a lot of respect for Ronnie, but I don't want to see him come in worse every year and ruin his legacy.

I agree with Mak on this one. Ronnie's back, glutes, and hams weren't near as hard as they were in the past. He was the heaviest he has ever been at this O, but his conditioning wasn't what it should have been. Jay killed it conditioning wise, he deserved the win. His back looked great, which is what always decides the Olympia.

Hey bro, thanks for keeping me up to date while you were there. How was the trip?

I'm glad ronnie lost, and not to say Jay didn't look good, but Victor looked good and Melvin was on point. I liked Melvin or Dexter for the whole thing.

No prob bro! I enjoyed it. The trip back went well, nothing too eventful. I got some pics from the expo that I need to post up so everyone can see how small I look next to Quincy Taylor.
