Just a note, Ronnie is not a Cop anymore. He retired to concentrate more on Body Building.. And Flex should have beaten Ronnie.;)
 
The ironic thing is, while BB'ing is physically based, its the mental part that makes or breaks the whole sport/athlete...from training to posing to judging etc. if you aren't ready mentally, you're going home.
 
Last Year is Over

Political, Yep, this is America, but if Ronnie comes in like he did @ the Arnold, it isn't going to matter. None of the top 3 can touch him from the back, hams, bi's. To beat him, Levrone, Wheeler, or Cormier, is going to have to be perfect, and none of them are. It takes more than abs.....and conditioning to win.....if that was the case, Darrem Charles, or D Jackson would be in the top 5.......it is the politics, and best overall look in the judges eyes :D :D Chris Cormier looked, and looks better than Kevin does......he should be the one complaining the loudest.......he just keeps making improvements every year......which gives him a better chance than Kevin to unseat Coleman
 
it's hard to dethrone the current champ.. you have to go the extra mile... that's the perk of being the champ... it's like home-field advantage. Be it mental or judgemental he's still got an edge over the other guys..

As far as mass is concerned, kevin and especially flex can't compare to coleman... There's just too much everywhere... Everything's perfectly rounded and he jsut has awesome width.. To me he looks twice the size of flex up there on stage... That awesome thickness really set him apart..

As far as bodyparts are concerned, coleman has to be the most complete.. He has the best peaks in the business, and that chest drops so low it looks like half of his upper body. Turn him around and he becomes even more unbeatable.. That back is so wide and thick... and he's starting to get those shredded glutes... combine that with the cut-up hams and he's one sight to behold... Now flex's weak parts just happen to be his ass and his hams... That is made even more obvious when you stand those two side by side..

I dont know how true that is. Ronnie is a cop still, but he only works the least amount of days possible to remain a cop, and recieve cop pay. So as I understand it, he Still IS a cop.

And for flex beating ronnie, not a chance:)

I wanna see Shawn Ray take it all, (even tho he's annoying as hell), i think he looks the best all around as stupid as it may sound. It'll never happen but hey, it wouldnt be too bad.
 
"I wanna see Shawn Ray take it all, (even tho he's annoying as hell), i think he looks the best all around as stupid as it may sound. It'll never happen but hey, it wouldnt be too bad."

my sentiments exactly.

One interesting thing is that Shawn is against the use of insulin. He won't stop harping on his website about this, and people I know who have hung out with him say he feels very strongly about this.

I know when I used slin with a heavy test prop cycle that even with the t-3 there was an increase in inter-abdominal fat, though I actually calipered lower at the end of the cycle. I have a pretty small waist and want to keep it that way, so I stopped using slin. There must be something to Shawn's beliefs, because he does have the smallest midsection in BBing, and is one of the few current guys who can pull of a vacuum when doing the front double biceps.
 
i think, although both are phenominal, olympia should have gone to levrone. ronnies gut was gross, and it seemed that kevin put more into preparing for the contest. ronnie had the advantage of being the returning champ, which i think the judges gave him too much credit for.
 
WTF

scotsmans what do you mean no reigning Mr.Olympia has been dethroned? Sergio Oliva was beaten by Arnold. Frank Zane was beaten by Arnold, and Samir was beaten by Lee Haney. Franco won in '76 and didn't win again until '81. All of these champions with the exception of Arnold and Lee were reigning Mr. Olympias when they lost. Maybe I read your post wrong?:)
 
No guys, see it like this

Ronnie had to win last year. Even when his gutt stood out like as if he was pregnant (remember Mike Menzer in 1980: same belly. Also he was the reigning champ (1979)). Simply put, Weider wants it like that. Since Ronnie is making money for him, since Ronnie is not the smartest guy on earth, since Ronnie is easy to handle (by Weider) and since Ronnie probably does not cost Weider a lot of money, why would Weider want another champ.
Ronnie will win again this year, even with a gutt. Weider just has to instruct the judge to let the biggest guy win and that his name is Ronnie. Let the money roll.
