I don't get why Shawn didn't win at least one Olympia.

Wasn't Shawn in the one where Dorian was 3/4 torn muscle?

Yes, he was. Shawn should have won one, shame he didn't. Would also have liked to seen Rich Gaspari win one as well.

Don't forget Levrone and, before him, Robby Robinson.

There are a lot of good guys, but the only ones I can predict are the top three: Jay#1, Phil #2, Branch#3.

It's hard to say where Kai, Victor, Dexter, Rockel, Yamigishi, Wolfe, etc. will place, but nobody can beat Jay's structure. Even if he's slightly off, Phill is the only one who has a chance of beating him and that isn't b/c of his size or structure... it's b/c his genetic gift is that his muscles look like F&%k*n balloons from a comic book action hero. This is a sport about aesthetics and nobody wins this category over Phil and Jay. So, I have Jay in 1st, Phil in 2nd, and.... I think Branch will be third this year. Third is an understatement for this guys success in the sport, but still a major success in this lineup with Jay and Phil. His genetics are far less superior than the rest of the ~top 10 guys, but his years of hard work are showing up now as he reaches his peak year before retirement.

Definitely agree about Levrone. Robinson was way before my time.

What about Nasser? I always liked him, super nice guy. I met him at the 2000 olympia expo.

An impressive athlete, no doubt.




Nasser had the unfortunate situation of having to compete during Dorian's and Ronnie's era.

Nasser El Sonbaty's Competitive Record

1994 Olympia - IFBB, 7th
1995 Olympia - IFBB, 3rd
1996 Olympia - IFBB, Disqualified
1997 Olympia - IFBB, 2nd
1998 Olympia - IFBB, 3rd
1999 Olympia - IFBB, 6th
2000 Olympia - IFBB, 5th
2001 Olympia - IFBB, 9th
2002 Olympia - IFBB, 15th

How was he disqualified in '96?

I think Green is the only one who can match Cutlers size right now. Its not Phils time yet, but hes only been in the game for 9 years he will get his time. And Branch always shows up on point but the judges just dont seem to like him enough

I just wish Ronnie would show up looking like this, just to see everyones jaws hit the floor lol

Cutler vs Green rear lat spread.

Jay Cutler for the win, no doubts!

I'd say Greene wins that match up.

That would make Jay cry, no doubt.

On facebook ronnie was saying he's thinking about competing again. He said he's going to have to have surgery first. For what, I don't know. He had said earlier in the year that he would do the masters in december, but I guess thats not happening.

I remember reading somewhere about him tearing his left bicep? That could be the surgery he is referring to.

Branch was my dark horse to win at this years Olympia but reports are that he tore a muscle in his quad and is out. There is already a thread will all the details.

2. Phil
3. Kai
