2009 A Landmark Year in Bodybuilding?

[Dezzy]

I think Jay Cutler and Branch Warren looked phenominal this year. Although I'm not a big fan of either of their physiques (not symetrical/thick waist in my opinion) I have all the respect in the world for these gentleman. Anyway, something seemed different at the olympia this year. I saw no no guts on the competitiors, and everyone in the top 10 was in better condition. It seems like the changes the IFBB is trying to implement is actually starting to make a difference and guys or changing their physiques.

1.What do you think?
2.What are they doing differently?
3. Is it the new trend of guys like Ranbod, and Farrah adding more carbs in precontest diets?
4. Less insulin, GH?

Id be curious to see what Cutler's "weight in" weight was versus last year.

Yeah me 2. He was quite a bit smaller this year. But he has more then enough muscle to spare...

I think i read somewhere that cutler weighed in at 259 or so. I was so impressed with the fact that he was able to correct his symmetry issues after all these years of competition.

i don't think it has much to do with adding carbs but more so with timing them right because i've seen some pre-contest diets by hany and i've noticed hany throws in MCTs and what not. Also according to heath his carbs were down to 100g last couple of weeks.

It's not less GH.

I'm not hating on Dexter, because I am one of the people that likes him, but I don't see him winning anymore. Unless he's does smaller shows. There's just to many people that could have beat him at the O. (If they were in shape) Is it me or is it time for him to hang it up? If he didn't win the Mr O title I wouldn't think this, but he is an Mr. O now.

i agree, it's not like he's attempting to make some kind of comeback like jay did.
