Why did Ronnie Coleman win last Mr. Olympia? Why not Kevin?

[SSAlexSS]

Ok all.


I was watching mr Olympia 2000 and I was a bit confused with the placings. Can someone tell me why Kevin got only 2nd place?

Ronnie Coleman has a gut that is so big that it should disqualify him from top six. I mean when he comes on stage and forgets to suck in his stomach, first two rows of people have to move back in order to have some space!

He practicly can't hit ANY abdominal pose, it looks like he is pregnant. Abs pose is very aesthetic and should be done very well by Mr. Olympia. Can you imagine Arnold Schwartznegger with 6 foot long stomach? So Ronnie can't win Olympia for aesthetics alone. Ronnie isn't the biggest guy either, Marcus Ruel dwarves ANYONE!

Kevin on other hand can do abdominal pose really well and his phisique is aesthetic and massive at the same time.

Can you tell me why Ronnie won? (please no flames)

Simple fact no reigning mr. olympia has ever been dethroned.

Kevin looked a hell of alot better than Ronnie from the front. The problem is that he has alot of week-spots when he turns around. Kevin's low back and hamstrings didn't have any thickness compared to Coleman's, and his upper back was not as dense. I was hoping that he would train year round and work on these weak areas (also calves), but he did not do that. In fact he just started training for the Olympia this month (after a 5 month layoff from lifting). I saw him in person three weeks ago and he looked pretty damn small.

Why did he take 5 month lay off?

C'mon it is not the time for relaxation. He has very good chance of becomein Mr O in next few years, he shouldn't drop his hands! he beat Flex Wheeler, the most genetically gifted bodybuilder ever...


Kevin actually starts to get closer to first place././../!

If you haven't noticed Bodybuilding is 95% political. And now there trying to turn it into WWF Wrestling with Kamali and Tight-ASS. Even Kelly's in on it. Can we all say CIRCUS ACT. I bet most of the placing is decided on before hand Especially in the IFBB Competitions that qualify you for the Olympia. I’m sure they read the magazines and look at popularity polls to decide whom they want to make a spectacle of next.

It is easy for ronnie to gewt around the fact that he is an officer of the law and using AS, growth, Slin, Clen, T3 and who knows what else...doctors perscriptions keep it legal for him...

***Watch for Yates to come back this year, if this happens we will see MR. Colman hand over his little sandow to Mr. Yates***

Look Dorian is not in any way shape or form ever planning on competing again. Not that he couldn't be theres really no point. Now a pose down with Coleman that's somthing totally different, that would be way FUCKING COOL. There's been rumors of one taking place at Olympia 2001. Only time will tell. I herd Dorians back up to 285 and he looks awesome.

Coleman does have the mass
but like everything it's TRADITION!
you know the Mr. O's like to run for a good 5 years. This year things will be different (i hope, Levrone should have had it).

 

[ColumboWeiser]

Why not?

Wh ywould Yates not compete again? We asked him at the Arnold Classic and he smiled and said we will see when the time comes...Never rule anything out...
just my opinion....
