Predictions for 2010 Mr Olympia?

[ready2rumble]

i wasnt trying to rag on branch at all, i was just surprised to see such a little guy. he didnt look fat, just small.. i am 6'5" so most ppl look small i guess

 

[RottenWillow]

yea i got 3 outa 4 in the top 4

told ur ass phil be there WOOOOOOOO

BUT DAMMIT FUKIN JAY, but we all saw it coming

dexter doesnt deserve to be there, ronny suprised me and so did dennis since they came in amazing condition

brnach does deserve his place hes in some freaky condition but hsi frame isnt holding his mass well enough to give him the title of olympia

i rekon itll be down between phil and jay

although i rekon kai might sneak bak up

Say what? Surely you shit me bor.

Dexter was razor sharp, hard as a diamond, and full. He absolutely epitomizes what a bb'er should look like. Full, round muscle bellies tapering to impossibly tiny joints.

Dexter absolutely deserves to be exactly where he placed. He earned every last bit of that. He chooses not to shoot enough GH to end up with 30lbs too much muscle and abs the size of rolling pins and obliques like bread loaves.

this is all true, but imo he just doesnt have the size or freakyness (except in his traps and bi's) to hang with the top 3. He is playing a differant game to what the judges and the fans are looking for. I think dex has had his moment and wont win again unless the judges drastically change their minds and start going for aesthetics over size.

I like Dexters physique well too.

naaa man

he may look razor sharp, and great conditioning but in all fairness he isnt carrying the size to win olympias or be placing so high these days, and IMO there were guys who were in better condtion then dexter on that stage this year

he looks great, but there were better shaped guys on that stage this year

I don't argue he wasn't the biggest guy out there, but the biggest guy isn't supposed to win. The best guy is. And I definitely don't agree there was anyone out there in better condition.

We lost our way somewhere along the line and started catering to the freak fans. That's unfortunate.

This guy was the most heavily muscled one on stage in '72. He was the freak fan fav...

but he didn't win. Because although he wasn't as massive pound for pound, Arnold was better.


In '83 the freak fan fav was brutal Bertil Fox. He was the only guy on stage that night the fans really screamed for during the routine. My father was at that show and neither Sammir or even Lee Haney got this kind of response. (pound for pound Lee didn't get as big as Bertil until '86) The audio pickup of the audience doesn't do it justice, but still you can hear them.



Bertil posed as bad as most of the top guy at the 2010 Olympia, and relative to the standards of his day, was every bit as jacked. But he didn't win, because the judges voted for the better guys, not the most muscular guy.

I disagree, if the competition is all about being aesthetic with nice lines then it shouldnt be called bodybuilding it should be called bodyfigure or bodysculpt or something like that

IMO size and conditioning should win it not aesthetics and beauty. Top bodybuilder in the world should be the dude with the freaky size and ability to get super lean to show it off not the dude who is "razor sharp"

IMO

this here is why Branch has the potential to take the O next year, aslong as he nails his conditioning and continues to make improvements...

and look at his chest in this video (wait till he stops speaking about his "secret weapon" the new formula hydroxycut hardcore lol) YouTube - Branch Warren Trains Chest at Metroflex Gym Audio Commentary by George Farah

Probably Jay, but I hope Johnnie Jackson takes it instead.
