Mr O from the 5th row!

**gopro** · 10-28-2003, 08:58 AM

Here is my quick take for anyone interested:

Ronnie: No ifs, ands, or buts...the man is a walking freak of nature and the most extreme example of the outer limits of bodybuilding in the world. He cannot be touched. Won as soon as he walked onstage.

Jay: Even if he was at his best, which he was not, he couldn't have touched Ronnie. Jay has humongous quads, but they looked tiny next to Ronnie's. Jay was smooth and got a gift at second.

Dex: The shows most perfect body! Nothing was missing and he was full, dry, and cut like a diamond. Another 3 inches in height and he could've challenged Ronnie. Should have placed second.

Dennis: The best he's been and he knew it. Full, hard, and thick.

Guntar: Crowd favorite for sure. Very charismatic and likable. Could have possibly been 4th but no better. He was smaller than last year and still has some odd shapes.

Kevin: His legs are gone and this kills him. Still has top 2 potential but doesn't work hard enough at this now to beat the guys in front of him that are striving to improve.

Dareem: Should have placed 6th. What a body! Yes, he's a little more slim than everyone else, but he is so complete and so seperated that he still stands out. Best posing routine in bodybuilding!

Troy: He is going to be trouble soon...like top 6 trouble. Very complete...very pleasing lines...hard and symmetrical. He could have beaten Kevin too. He just looks good up there!

Melvin: Great body but still not dialed in. He looks like he needs more overall size and needs to drop some water all over. His waist is the smallest in bodybuilding and this is a huge advantage. He poses incredibly and has fun onstage. His best is yet to come.

Taylor: Overlooked! Should have been a couple of notches higher. He was hard and pretty big and symmetrical. The judges just didn't seem to notice.

Jackson: Looked very good. Decent size and hardness. I don't see him as a top 6 threat at any point, but top 8 is within reach. He will need to be even sharper to move up.

St. Cloud: He got 12th because everyone after him just looked bad. Rodney looks good. He has decent symmetry and some size but has alot of work to do to get anywhere at the Olympia level.

Preist: The worst he ever looked. The only thing worse than his body was his hair. He looked like he was 6 weeks out. Smooth as heck!

Art: He is a big, hard, freak, but wins my award for "most likely to die next in bodybuilding." His body just looks unhealthy and he can barely walk. He looks like he has large breasts formed under his pecs. When unflexed his chest just sagged like two boobs. Art just doesn't look right.

Claude: Not as good as he was in the Masters. Smaller and not as hard.

Davie: Nice physique for sure. Good lines and nice proportion and symmetry. Not sure if this is true, but he looks like he takes far less "chemicals" than all the rest. Needs more of everything to move up, but has the kind of body that most would love to have.

Good stuff.

Unfortunately, I didn't have such good sets. We were relagtaed to the M&F VIP Suite. They did have excellent shrimp and sushi though.

Artie's boobs were damn ugly. He kicked ass in roulette later that night though.

Oh, and I am NOT a fan of Ronnie and despite his gut he was unreal.

nikegurl · 10-28-2003, 10:22 AM

I was saying how much I wanted Ronnie to lose but as soon as I saw him I shuttup and took it all back.

Dexter really impressed me.

Lee Priest really shocked me. His legs were totally smooth. Not just smooth compared to the others but actually smooth. (I tried to avert my eyes from the hair.) I was actually wondering how he messed up that badly considering his experience and usual condition.

(by the way - my observations were from my living room on ppv)

Twin Peak · 10-28-2003, 10:24 AM

Yeah, his legs were aweful. But not as bad as his hair, which was ridiculous.

Ronnie really was unmatched.

**Jodi** · 10-28-2003, 10:26 AM

Lee's hair looked like a wig. It was quite amuzing.

tomas101 · 10-28-2003, 08:43 PM

i'm glad for dareem

...he trains my brother and came in 12th last yr so i'm happy to see him hit #7 even tho he beat dexter in rome

...so go figure...but owell maybe next yr

Twin Peak · 10-29-2003, 07:10 AM

As I have said, Dareem should have been 3rd.

gr81 · 10-29-2003, 09:32 PM

Lee priest's hair made him look like He-Man I think. I couldn't believe how smooth he was either though! WTF. I think Guntar didn't even deserve to be in the top ten personally, he looked like shit. The rest I agree with .

prophet · 10-30-2003, 04:19 AM

i like dexter.. his abs were unbelievable.. i know it's not all about abs but he was just more aestically pleasing than freaks like coleman or cutler.. ronnie deserved it tho..

tomas101 · 10-30-2003, 09:30 AM

what do u all mean when u say Lee's body was so smooth???

Twin Peak · 10-30-2003, 09:37 AM

He was holding a lot of water, had few striations and his vascularity was poor.

tomas101 · 10-30-2003, 11:35 AM

ok thats what i thought...

they mean that it appeared he had used a lot of baby oil and other skin conditioners to give the effect of nice smooth skin, like a ladies legs.

just kidding.

	Chuck Norris once lost his keys and couldn't remember where he put them. So he tortured himself for half an hour until he gave up their location.
