Mr Olympia predictions!

ponyboy · 09-25-2003, 09:09 AM

I just hope he doesn't do that stupid falling to his knees and pretending to cry crap. Maybe the first year it was legit and now it's just a stupid display.

He shouldn't have won last year and he shouldn't win this year.

My thought is that it hurts him and he should take steps to try and reduce its size as well as learn how to better control it while he's onstage. His best bet is to try and return to his 1998 form when he first won the O.

I THK UR RIGHT U MUST BETTER GIVE THIS ADVICE TO RONNIE

Actually, I just heard today that Ronnie looks unreal right now and that if he continues this path for the next few weeks, nobody will touch him at the big O.

nikegurl · 09-29-2003, 02:54 PM

i don't follow this as closely as i once did...

is it unlikely that flex will compete at the O in the future given his health? (by the way - i read his book and really enjoyed it)

not sure if i mentioned this but a little over a year ago lee priest trained at my gym. to be honest - i never saw him training there but used to see cathy often. know where i did see lee? krispy kreme! (not joking).

think his height hurts his chances?

Flex · 09-29-2003, 03:00 PM

NIkegurl...isnt Flex's book great!!! Its an honest look into the ugly dark world of BB. It shows how dedicated you have to be...eating, sleeping, steroids...to stay on top of the game.

Last i heard Flex retired cuz he is going clean, and there is no way he can keep up naturally with the other mass monsters....

The reason they go to krispy kreme, burger king, McD's (not joking either

) is b/c they need enough cals to support growth with all the steroids they take. normal healthy food would not be enough, they need the loads of fats and carbs from fast food....

**gopro** · 09-29-2003, 03:06 PM

Flex retired b/c he is quite ill. He is currently recovering from a kidney transplant!

Flex · 09-29-2003, 03:11 PM

Ya gopro, too much diuretics caused that...did you read his book "Flexibility"...if not, i def. suggest it....

Flex · 09-29-2003, 03:12 PM

...also, he retired cuz he said he won't take any more steroids, thus he can't compete with the mass monsters....

gr81 · 09-29-2003, 03:53 PM

that is BS, he wasn't natural, just a big scam. He still looks pretty f'n monstorous though, I actually met him a few months back!

Flex · 09-29-2003, 03:55 PM

Gr, im not saying he was natural...i'm saying after his kidney failed and the reason he retired is b/c he was going to go "natural" b/c he realized he couldnt/shouldnt take any more steroids, but then he realized he can't compete like that....

nikegurl · 09-29-2003, 04:08 PM

yep - he never claims he was natural. he's pretty straight about what he has done and what he regrets etc.

maniclion · 09-29-2003, 04:19 PM

I hope Gunter gets top, but if Ronnie loses that gut then Gunter won't have a chance. Jay I'm not sure about. I wish I could see some recent pics.

firestorm · 09-29-2003, 07:26 PM

I'm Going with Ron Coleman for the win without question, even if he isn't in the best shape he'll still win. Damn political crap will never allow him to loose it unless he comes in looking like Homer Simpson.
Going by the pic above posted by GR8, I think he will win it legitimately if he comes in looking like that.

That's what i heard also........I hear is coming in at 275, and his gut isnt that bad.

You're def. right Firestorm, they don't just have random guys come in and win. Weider finds the guy he can sell the best and goes with him for however many years until someone better steps in, usually when the present "king" wants to retire. Watch...........Ronnie will conveniently not be Mr. O. anymore because he retires, not because someone beats him on stage....almost guarenteed. not this year, so maybe next year....

I think Ronnie should and will win anyways, its just a matter of when he wants to retire, then there'll be a new Mr. O....

GP one question for you regarding a distended abdominal region (which I didn't see in that rear shot above). It's my understanding and I may be wrong that the distention is due to enlarged organs. If this is the case, how can you possible reduce it? If that is not the case then what is it.

maniclion · 09-29-2003, 11:31 PM

Now that I have done some research Jay has been very active all year giving himself alot of chances to spot flaws.

firestorm · 09-30-2003, 12:26 AM

Man, thanks for those front pics. Well I wouldn't consider Colemans abs as distended in the least. His obliques look too overtrained too me. J.C. looks awesome!!!

Yes, the distension is due to enlarged viscera from GH, insulin, and steroids. Once you have it is is tough to ever reduce, but by cutting back on certain drugs there CAN be an improvement. Also, the gut distension can be "hidden" pretty well by controlling the stomach muscles, which some pros know how to do better than others. It is all about controlling your breathing and strengthening your transverse abdominals.

Also, Flex was only on small amounts of straight testosterone for his final Olympia...what he called a "therapeutic" dose. He did, however, go back to larger amounts earlier this year for the Ironman, where he placed third and started to look more like his former self. But, that is when the problems kicked back in and it was all over for Flex. He says his condition is genetic, as both of his parents have it, but in no way can you ignore his drug intake's effect on his kidneys.

As far as Ronnie goes...Chad Nichols, Ronnies nutritionist, and Tom Prince, IFBB pro, both say that Ronnie looks "ridiculous" right now and that they would be suprised if Ronnie got "one point scored off of him."

Ahsan · 09-30-2003, 10:10 AM

HI GUYZ
FROM THOSE ABOVE PICS RONNIE'S STOMACH LOOKS LIKE 40 YR OLD MAN TRYING TO CUT DOWN SOME FATS OFF HIS BODY(HAHAHAH)LOLZ. CUTLER LOOKS GREAT.
