[BigCanuck]

One thing is for sure,the overall quality of competition in this years Olympia will be the best ever. My picks:
Jay
Wolf
Heath
Dexter
Dennis James

Is the Olympia decided in advance... are the judges instructed to place him first no matter what? How does this work?

I gotta say one thing. THe IFBB Judges are "murmuring" already to the tune of Jay 1st and Wolf 2nd.........Jay needs to win several times to build up the excitement of the Olympia to "who can beat our x time Champion Jay Cutler!!"
In my opinion Wolf should win, but he, like Jay, still has many years left....

Jay
Dexter
Phil
Wolf

I thought Phil was retired! In that case, Big Kiwi is looking pretty good too, did you see his pics?

What I don't get is why everyone is assuming placings on pics and how they look now, what if they carb deplete/load wrong? What if a suit case hits one of them in the eye like Vince Taylor when he had the eye patch, or they get bit by a dog? Who knows what can happen!

Phil Heath is the most aesthetic one up there so he will place high.

I understand beauty is in the eye of the beholder and everyone is entitled to their opinion..blah..blah..blah.. And, your opinions seem to be the norm, but Phil has the worst bone structure of any top pro out there and besides when he's turned around this becomes blatantly clear and makes his physique, for lack of eloquence, look fucked up. I've said it before; he has an A frame, at best an H frame. If you cut off his arms he'd look like a tipi.

[The Myth]

People, mark my word he will be the new Mr. O.

I will pull my own collar and say "Whoa Boy", because I called it. I don't get it when people come up with their predictions without seeing none of these guys in the off season. Well, I knew when Dex hit the 251lbs mark and it was the heaviest he had ever been, it was on. He said to me at the nationals this past July, "Dawg, I am the heaviest I have ever been, and I am going to take it."

Yeah but...

Even when you see one guy in person, you still don't know what the other guys are doing. I did know Dexter didn't eat out for the last four weeks because he didn't want to take any chances, which was different from the Arnold. I had lunch with him 5 weeks out from the Arnold, and I would love to have his diet, not that strict. But for the Oylmpia he was by the book. And doing more cardio.
