Did anyone else feel like throwing up when 1st place was called.

[Fullybuilt]

I literally got a sinking feeling in my stomach. Im a pretty compasionate guy, and seeing Ronnie's face after he lost made me feel aweful. I mean, in all fairness, Jay did come in great, but I hate the reason why Jay is in this game. He doesnt love the sport of bodybuilding like Ronnie does, he's in it for the business. That sickens me. Lets do a comparison
Jay won on quads,abbs,chest,calves
Ronnie on hammies,back,arms,shoulders and maturity.

Ronnie won on back? "are you smoking that crack" as he would say...

dude he had a torn NOTICEABLE lat and could not even do a full spread, there was no "lights out" Go back and look at the pics, Jay owned him from the back this year. Thats why he lost....

 

[Macdaddy]

I'm not sure that Jay isn't in it for the same reason that Ronnie is. I mean, if Ronnie didn't make any money in BBing, would he still risk his health and all the time it takes to get to his size? Doubt it. I think all the guys up there are in it for the money in some aspect. Maybe not Mr O prize money, but other avenues such as contracts, personal training, gym ownerships, guest appearances etc.

Every dog has his day. Jay is having his. Ronnie has had his. And others will have theres in the future. I'm happy for Jay. Too bad for Ronnie, but he's had his share.

Every day comes when a new champion takes over. Now the Mr.O's will be a little more exciting if you ask me.

Fullybuilt how did you miss the completely atrophied left backside of ronnie ?

 

[K1]

I agree, Ronnie went in lame with that busted wing, still looked great though. BUT, now it's Jay's time........

[JohnnyPro]

Both are great bodybuilders, both of them love the sport. You have to love it to get to that level. I don't begrudge Jay the victory, he has been in this game a long time and he looked better than ever.

 

[BuffD]

Ronnies back was a shadow of it's former self, one arm was larger than the other, and he lacks tris. He didn't deserve to win. I'm sure Ronnie would of quite years ago if they told him that they were no longer gonna give him prize money for winning. I don't doubt his love of training but I don't see him going through the torture of dieting just for the love of it. Congrats to Jay. Next year I bet things get a whole lot more interesting.

 

[maxsupplements]

heck NO i dont feel like throwing up...

i feel like having a DRINK!! IM SOOOOOOO GLAD JAY WON!!!

its about TIME someone else gets the chance.. its just not right the same dude holds it for 7 years..

IT WAS BOUT TIME!!!

If Jay was only in it for the business (money) he would be happy sitting back placing second and bringing in his 1/2 mill a year. He's not hes damn competitive and wants to be MR. OLYMPIA. Something he's worked for.

Take some pepto Bismal BABY!!! LOL
And to say ANYONE only does BodyBuilding for the money is just crazy...there is hardly any money in comparison to the effort. Look at Golf and the effort put forth in that sport. Tiger woods makes 10's of millions off the game alone, not to mention endorsments. You show a great disservice to say that anyone of those guys do it for any reason other than love of sport...shame on you.

 

[Macdaddy]

So are you saying that Golf takes no effor? Tiger Woods doesn't need to practice like a SOB to keep at that level? And I can guarantee you that Tiger and many other top pro's do not "Love" the amount of effort they put in. They love the money, fame, recognition that comes with it. Same with bodybuilding. Trust me, none of the top pro's "Love" doing what it takes to get in top Olympia condition. Ask ANY of them. They can't wait till its over. You try eating bland foods for months, limiting your water intake to the point of near dehydration, and taking diuretics, stimulants and AAS that are extreamly rought on your body, then tell me you "Love" it.

Do you think these guys would be in this condition if there was no Money, Recognition or anything? No way!!!

 

[KillerStack]

I just read somewhere how Jay said he wasn't in it for the money. He has a lucrative side business, I think real estate.

 

[BrooklynBB]

Of course Jay loves bodybuilding... sheesh.

As much of a Ronnie Coleman fan I am, I can't agree with anything you said here about Jay.

Jay, BECAUSE of his love of bodybuilding and the lifestyle and the rewards that come with it, is probably the most dedicated professional competitor of them all. I've never had a problem with Jay and how he markets himself, nor how he makes money from bodybuilding, nor his lifestyle or decisions he made in his personal life in regards to bodybuilding. I think he's a great rep and one of the few who actually do LOVE the sport. That's an insane and ignorant statement to say that Jay doesn't love bodybuilding. Of course he does.

And to say that Ronnie won on back, well, even I can see that there's something wrong with his back and abs. I wont go down the list, but I still feel that even with Ronnie's obvious flaws, he still was better than Jay and always will be.

But I'm not going to attack Jay Cutler or say silly things because he won. I'm very happy for him, but I think that Ronnie was still the better man.

 

[Hiramabiff]

In all fairness I have heard and read Jay say that he is tired of the sport. His heart is not 100% in it as it once was and he is in constant pain. Not to mention welcome to Hell Jay.. The chore of being the man now. He thought it was a chore dam near walking around 300 lbs eveyday..The life of the truly big men.

Congrats Jay!!

I hope you're attributing the lack of tri's to the lat damage. Ronnie Doesn't lack tri's

 

[Fullybuilt]

Wow, this sucks. I watched the O on a piece of shit computer with aweful graphics. After seeing all the after pics it def was clear about Jay. Im still a die hard Ronnie fan and still really feel bad for him. I still think Ronnie loves the sport more. Jay said a long time ago he was gonna quit when he won the O. On stage he said he was gonna come back. If Jay quits, i'll lose all respect for him, but if he stays in the game then its a diff story.

Look compared to BB, Golf is E.A.S.Y. Yet Woods Makes more than All the Olympians Combined...you totally missed my point here.
My point is until your one of the top pros you make next to nothing compared to the amount of money you spend. I said nothing about Recognition. I said they do it more out of love for BB...You need to learn to retain what you read.
I think Golf sucks, but you like it. Id rather watch the grass grow myself...LOL

His Left Tri was injured and yes it is much smaller than his right one.
