His English has improved tremendously from the last time I heard him years ago.

he seems like a great person....but he is pretty young....but looks so damn old.

drugs and smoking?

lol..smoking..haha, that is my favorite part of the video. I don't why he decided to include that.

At least he isn't trying to hide it. Unlike some pro's steroid use. "100% All Natural!"

I spoke with him a couple of weeks ago and he told me that he would do everything perfect this year, he will try to end top-3 and participate in everything from the battle for the Olympia dvd( he was never on there before) to all the expo/seminar shit.

it will never happen, not only is he WAAAY too blocky, but he does not fit into the "new rules" the IFBB is trying to implement in bodybuilding, i.e. no GH gut, shape and symmetry.

And yet Ronnie and Jay go 1-2... again...

Yeah I told him that also, but he knows that he has more fans then anyone in the competition(yes even Gunther)so if he come in shape, he will land just in the top6 or just out, but if a day comes where a lot of top guys are "off" he will end up in 3rd, I don't think he will ever hit 2nd or top because he is indeed way to blocky to represent the sport in a good way.

I think Gustavo should have been 2nd and Jay 3rd... who do you think should have placed in the top 3, Or did you even watch it?

and that is going to help his placing?

Jay:enough good lines great size and symmetry.
Ronnie: the top dog and he makes the lines of the IFBB so I'll just say: great back, great arms, great shoulders , great quads, great hams.
Ab's and calves could(should) be better, chest is great but I think it should be a little thicker, don't get me wrong, in posses it looks great but in a relaxed stance it looks a little flat. but he has everything the rest doesn't have so his #1 place is well earned.

The fans pay the prize money, they can't place someone like Markus in 1 or 2 but if the fans whant it they can still get them in a high place, lets be honest here, why would markus beat anyone with great shape unless it's because the fans whant him there, same reason why Gunther got 6th in 2004.

There are two ways of looking at it. With the "old" criteria, the top five could/should have looked something like this (nearly the same):

1. Ronnie
2. Gustavo
3. Jay
4. Gunter
5. Victor

Under the "new" criteria, I saw it this way:

1. Gustavo
2. Ronnie
3. Gunter
4. Victor
5. Darrem

Yep, under the new criteria I don't even see Jay in the top five. And that's sad, because he used to be my favorite pro (I'm now more a fan of Mark Dugdale). I think Gunter came in tighter than Victor, who looked great but still not top-notch, IMO.

What the fuck is Gustavo doing on the top spot?

he looked great! and he did beat Ronnie in the challenge round!

Yep. Gustavo, under the "new criteria" looked much better than Jay and even slightly better than Ronnie. Streamlined waist, and as much a V-taper as someone that size can have.

Gustavo is way smaller then Ronnie and his gut is terrible, and Ronnie's gut looks better and Ronnie is bigger!

It's people like you that cause bodybuilding to be all about mass instead of aesthetics. Bring back the golden era, bring back Zane!

On you THEUNIT, For Shame!

Read the rules of the game again man, aesthetics my ass, it's called bodybuilding, it's not a figure contest
If you like it so much, why don't you host the first ever male figure competition, maybe you would pay to see that instead of paying for the Mr.O. and then you can let Gustavo be the head judge because he ofcourse is the expert in aesthetics

You can say whatever you want but Big Ron Coleman is the current Mr.Olympia and he doesn't care about the new guide lines, HE IS THE NEW GUIDE LINES. He is the standard that others follow, look at jay cutler look at Gustavo look at gunther look at dennis james, j. jackson, Dexter Jackson, or anyone else on the the O stage, there are only a few the have there own style and none of them made top-5 this year, so he's out there by himself and with the shape and conditioning he brought this year you can't say that he has an ugly body or that he's just all about mass. He has a body that was ligthyears ahead of everyone for years and nw they are starting to catch up, but everytime they come close he changes his heading and they are always left stranded trying to figure out what went wrong and how he menaged to do it again, and he will keep on doing it until he thinks that it's enough and if that means 12 titels than it's 12 titels and there's nothing anyone can do about that.

Arnold did not use ANYWHERE near the amount of drugs that pros use today and you can STILL put his upper body up against the best pros of today.

I don't like where pro bodybuilding has ended up at all, yes we want mass, but I would MUCH rather watch Arnold pose, or even Lee Labrada, than Ronnie or Jay.

I've seen his video, he seems like a pretty nice guy. I hope he does well.

AMEN! Jay and Ronnie are just too amorphous. There isn't much that I admire in their physiques.
