Thanks for the update. I always go for my Bday which is the 24th, looks like I'll be making an earlier trip there this year.

**DEVILtrainer666** · 02-23-2011, 12:27 PM

Jay will win again.

I can't understant why the it keeps getting moved.
Vegas must have more important things to try and fit in the year.

**Lysphen** · 04-20-2011, 11:42 AM

**Livebig14** · 04-27-2011, 02:31 PM

Looks like Branch get to become Mr.O one week earlier this year

**Lysphen** · 04-29-2011, 01:33 AM

i don't think Branch will ever win a Mr Olympia... one more uncrowned i guess

**Poopypants** · 04-29-2011, 01:41 AM

Damn, my baby is due on the 12th... Don't think the fiance would be too happy if I decided to go 4 hours away when shes about to pop or just recovering, lol.

Since when did he become worthy enough?

Did you see him at the Arnold? If he brings that package he deserves to win. If someone as boxy as Cutler can have the title Branch definatley deserves it IF he brings that same package

Define "worthy".

It's bodybuilding.

Judges select the winner based on (some say) politics, but also conditioning, size, symmetry, separation, and in some years at least posing ability, right?

Branch has definitely exhibited size, graininess, and conditioning. And he's been judged ahead of Cutler in the past...

But, yeah, this.

I'd say Cutler got a political boost in 2007 versus Martinez. At the very least it was his "legend status" by merit of being the returning Mr. Olympia.

In 2011 I'm hoping he brings it and wins in a way that leaves no questions he was the right choice.

this is true. I just dont want everyone leaving Vegas pissed off like it was in 07 when Martinez was CLEARLY the winner. Hopefully he will bring his A game and there will be no bullshit

**Curt James** · 04-30-2011, 08:37 AM

Flex Wheeler was the best. He was so mad and didn't hide it.

lol

Flex is the best.

**Livebig14** · 04-30-2011, 08:43 AM

haha yes ive seen that video before. Thats what I like about flex no bullshit. And also now I know to go out and get some MHP to look like Victor Martinez! Finally the REAL miracle supplement! lol

I really like Branch. He is the epitome of the hard working devoted bodybuilder but I just don't think he has the complete package. His arms are to small especially his forearms. Plus he just looks too blocky. I hope I'm wrong b/c I would really like to see him win. Another thing is that the Olympia seems to trade back and forth between black and white. A new black champion is about due. In a way I'd like to see Dexter win it again. I like the X frame and it could start a better trend more towards aesthetics qualities rather than just plain extreme mass where the frame is totally hidden by the mass.

Warren is a joke by comparison to Cutler, and I'm no fan of Jay.

His arms, shoulders, and traps are mediocre at best.
Politics would be the biggest factor if he won.

Yeah I see what you mean and I totally agree. Branch is a really hardworking guy and he could pull off a win with spot on conditioning. But bodybuilding in general is all about extreme mass now. Symmetry doesnt really matter as much anymore. Very few strive to be as big as Ronnie or Branch or Jay. The average Joe used to see the current Mr.Olympia and say "wow id really like to have that build" but now the average Joe sees the current Mr.Olympia and says "what a freak". I personally wouldnt mind being as big as them but most people dont like the bulky mass look. Just think what the guys will look like 10-20 years from now if they keep giving the title to the mass monsters? Maybe 300-320 pound guys on stage in contest shape? They will look like aliens from another planet

Warren is a joke compared to Jay? He just placed second to him in the 2009 Olympia so I think hes far from "a joke" when being compared to Jay. Bottom line is Jay has more mass and thats what the judges want so Jay wins. Period. Ronnie won 8 times in a row because he made every other competitor on stage look like they were in a weight class below him. Also, Jays abs look TERRIBLE. Not symmetrical whatsoever. Politics and mass being the #1 factor will most likely decide the next one

Politics will always rule the pagent no matter what the circumstance.

Warren being an overrated representative of mediocrity has nothing to do with it.
