I saw pictures of Dennis James 11 days out and he is as big and thick as he has ever been. I know Jay got the flu during contest prep and he is coming in smaller this year.
I like everyone on stage for getting that far.. dennis james ur the 2nd person today ive heard mention on his conditionging he'll prob make top 5 thats about it...
I still say regardless to cutler's flu, the line up is going to be exactly like this
1) ronnie coleman (they always want to keep the champ the same just bec gunter beat him last show together doesnt mean anything, ronnie is looking great from what i hear, and gunthers very low placing in the olympia just weeks earlier to the GNC proves that its a lot more juding then physiques. I think the fact that thier has only been so few olympians is partly why they make it more biast ofr the champ to win again, just for plubicity to make it look more of an achievement.
2)gunter, he did beat him at the GNC, judges will not forget this they will give him his credit this year I think and give him a close run with ronnie but I dont think hes taking it..
3) cutler, he was 2nd runner up last time him and ronnie competed also in the lead before posing round, I think around that yr his weight is the same as this yr, he also has been focusing so much on arnold and skiping olympia for $ purposes that weider may decide for fan attracation they need to pay this bastard to motivate him to come back instead of skipping it the following years again, this may also be a reason why he could take it all..
4) not even put thought into it, no clue really until I see them all I think.
This is just what I think, im sure some of you think its all about phyiques I disagree with this particular show for sure, I think its almost 60% judging 40% physiques.
Phil I know you communicate with a lot of judges do u or have u ever talked with some who have judged for the O or other really big events.... Im just wondering if anyone has ever fessed up to picking someone for thier name instead of body...
an example too of horrible judging bec of your name is tommy thornsdale little bro, wooping ass in competition beating guys taking 1st when the 9 under him should be beating him...
any inputs on my thoughts guys... Im be thier to find out im so excited in a few days, liked to hear some predictions ands why before its done with.
